Chapter 187 Invite the Person You Like

“It’s beautiful.” After saying that, Ainsley went back to silence. She looked out the window in a daze until

they arrived at Matteo’s place.

The Bentley continued to move along the road. Serina looked at Manuel worriedly and asked, “Manuel, is

Ainsley angry with me?”

Just now, Ainsley was stony and didn’t chat with her.

Manuel patted her head and comforted her, “Ainsley won’t be angry with you. She just

doesn’t want to see me.”

While saying that, his eyes were covered with sadness, and he pursed his thin lips.

Serina could tell Manuel was disappointed, but the current situation was beyond her control. She had

thought that Ainsley would forgive Manuel after watching the fireworks,

but her thought was too simple.

Ainsley must have felt incredibly aggrieved, so she was angry with Manuel. Serina patted Manuel’s arm

as she pouted, “Manuel, hurry up and pursue Ainsley back!”

Serina could feel Manuel’s disappointment in the past few days, and she knew Ainsley was also

unhappy. How could two people who love each other end up like this?

Ainsley returned home, and she couldn’t stop thinking about the fireworks and what

Manuel had said to her.

She didn’t know whether what Manuel said was true or not.

She knew how powerful Irene was. She could use Gwendolyn to kill someone and

escape unscathed.

Matteo had just returned home. He placed the fruit on the coffee table and asked, “Aisy,

did you just come back?”

Ainsley nodded. She was still thinking about what had just happened. This was probably why Matteo had

not allowed her to get close to Irene.

Matteo pointed at the fruit and said, “I just brought some fruit from the supermarket. Remember to eat

some.”

He put down his briefcase, took off his suit jacket, and sat beside Ainsley, asking, “Aisy, your birthday is

coming soon. What present do you want?”

Her birthday?

Ainsley was in a trance. When her parents were still alive, she celebrated her birthday every year, but

she stopped doing that since she married Cason.

It was really ironic. She would try her best to hold a birthday party for Cason, Kaitlin, and Lindsay every

year, but none of them remembered her birthday.

Seeing that Ainsley was still in a daze, Matteo asked, “Aisy, what are you thinking about?”

Ainsley said, “Matteo, I don’t want to make a big deal about that. Too many things have happened

recently, and I don’t want to hear more comments from others. It would be nice to invite a few good

friends and celebrating at home would be nice.”

Matteo knew there were some serious rumors and malicious speculations about Ainsley on the Internet

recently. So he wanted to hold a grand birthday party for her to show everyone that Ainsley was a family

member and that he wouldn’t allow anyone to bully

him.

But Ainsley was right. Hearing those disgusting comments would only make Ainsley feel bad. There was

no need to let those irrelevant people ruin Ainsley’s mood.

However, looking at the sadness in Ainsley’s eyes, Matteo pursed his lips and said, “You’ve been very

depressed these days. Okay, you can have a birthday party you want

and invite the person you like.”

Ainsley’s heart ski**ed a beat. Even though Matteo did not say it explicitly, she knew he was referring to

Manuel.

She shook her head and said with a bitter smile, “Matteo, I’ll invite all the people who should be invited,

and there’s no need to invite those who didn’t deserve it.”

Matteo hesitated and said, “It’s your call.”

Ainsley turned to watch the news on the TV again, and she suddenly thought of the photo. She couldn’t

get any information from Serina, but maybe Matteo knew

something.

She quickly took out the photo from her bag, placed it in front of Matteo, and said,

“Matteo, take a look at this.”

you

Matteo curiously took the photo, but his expression was frozen when he saw the people on it. He

tightened his hand, tried to pretend to be calm, and asked, “Aisy, why did

carry the photo of you and Serina?”

“Matteo, can’t you tell that?” Ainsley slightly squinted at him and asked.

“Isn’t this just an ordinary photo?” Matteo said, returning the photo to her.

Ainsley shook her head and said seriously, “Matteo, you’re lying. You know this photo. was not taken

recently. Two days ago, when I had nothing to do, I returned to the old house and found this photo. But

I’ve only known Serina for a year, and I haven’t returned

to the old house for a long time, and the last time I went back was before I got married.

to Cason. This means that this photo was taken at least three years ago. I was livelier

and younger in the photo than I am now. So did I know Serina before?”

Matteo was taken aback and hurriedly said, “No. There’s no way you knew her before.”

Matteo lowered his eyes to avoid Ainsley’s gaze and continued, “Aisy, perhaps you didn’t.

remember it clearly. We didn’t have much contact with the Gage family three years ago,

so how could you…”

Matteo didn’t finish his words.

Ainsley had been staring at Matteo and could see the panic in his eyes. Ever since.

Matteo had asked her to stay away from Manuel, she had been suspicious that

something must have happened before. Otherwise, why would Manuel and Matteo seem

to have been hiding something?

However, Ainsley didn’t remember anything about Manuel and Serina, so what were they

hiding?

“Matteo, did something happen three years ago?” Ainsley suddenly asked.

Matteo felt a chill and replied in a low voice, “No. Aisy, don’t overthink it. It’s just a photo.

I have something to do and shall go to my study.”

After that, Matteo took his briefcase and went upstairs.

Watching Matteo leave in a hurry, Ainsley felt that he was avoiding her. The more she thought about it,

the more suspicious she became, and she felt he was hiding

something.

The next day, Manuel came to the Psychological Counseling Room again when Ainsley was busy with

her thesis.

Ainsley had no choice but to turn off her computer and let him in. Recently, Manuel had been visiting

more and more frequently.

“Mr. Gage, according to my observation, I think there’s nothing wrong with your

men**ity. You don’t need to come here,” Ainsley said coldly.

Manuel sat in front of her casually, tapped lightly on the table, and said, “Ms. Easton, my

heart still hurts.”

“This is a normal phenomenon after ending a relationship. I suggest that you stop contacting your ex-

girlfriend. The more you see her, the more pain you will feel.” Ainsley was talking not only about Manuel

but also herself.

Manuel turned a deaf ear to it and said, “But it’s different from what I’m thinking. I’ll really

go crazy if I don’t come to you.”

“It won’t be easy to get rid of an addiction,” Ainsley said.
