Chapter 233 Carnival

Get Bo

Kaliyah’s eyes became red when she heard this. “Lindsay, don’t say that. Cason will not give up on

1. me. He will definitely save me.”

Even if Cason didn’t save her, Lindsay would not give up on her. Kaliyah touched her belly. For the

child in her belly, Lindsay would save her.

The peace was broken at night. Lindsay had just brought the soup. Before Kaliyah could drink

much, the police came over and took Kaliyah away.

“What are you doing!” Lindsay grabbed Kaliyah’s arm and roared.

Kaliyah also did not expect that. She was taken to the police car. Lindsay angrily called Cason at

the entrance of the hospital and then called Mathew.

At the University of Washington, Ainsley had just packed up her things and was about to get off

work. She did not expect to meet Manuel at the door. Just as she was about to dodge, she heard

Lainey’s voice.

“Aisy! Don’t go. Let’s go to attend the carnival together!”

Carnival?

Ainsley suddenly remembered that from this afternoon on the school forum, there was a fierce

discussion. The carnival was held on a street in Seattle.

However, Ainsley looked at Manuel a few more times. Lainey pulled her into the car without waiting for her answer. “Aisy, come with me! There must be a lot of interesting activities.”

Ainsley could not refuse Lainey. She and Lainey sat in the back seat. Roman drove, and Manuel sat

in the passenger seat.

Roman seemed to be a little dissatisfied with it. He always turned back to look at Lainey.

Soon, they arrived on that street. Here, many people were dressed in various costumes.

The whole street was decorated with colorful lights. Maybe Lainey and Roman did it on purpose. They

walked to the crowded place and held hands, trying to break away from Ainsley and Manuel.

They didn’t have to do anything. Soon, the four of them were quickly dispersed by the crowd.

Lainey looked around worriedly. “Aisy…”

Lainey shouted, but no one responded. There were too many people on the street.

When she wanted to call Ainsley again, she was stopped by Roman. “Don’t call her.”

“Why?” Lainey was a little confused.

Get Bogo

Roman gently rubbed her head and smiled, “Give them a chance to be alone. Otherwise, why do you

think Manuel will come to the carnival today? And don’t forget that you are coming here to

date me. I’ll take you to a place.”

Roman grabbed Lainey’s hand and took her away.

Ainsley stood in the crowd and looked around. She did not see Lainey, nor did she see Roman.

She lowered her head and only saw the men and women around her walking in pairs. Only she was

alone.

Just as she turned around, a big hand grabbed her wrist.

She subconsciously looked over. It was Manuel.

“You… What are you doing?” She turned her head embarrassedly, wanting to pull her hand back from

the warm palm. But his hand was like solid shackles firmly locking her wrist.

Manuel tightly protected her in his arms. The people coming and going, as well as the peddlers selling

goods, might accidentally touch her.

“Aisy, this is for you.” Manuel suddenly put a lantern in her palm. The lotus lantern flickered with

pink light.

Ainsley’s heart beat faster. He should have gone to buy a lantern just now. Why did he buy it for

her?

Her cheeks were red. In front of so many people, she couldn’t just walk away. Ainsley walked, and

Manuel held her hand. Her eyes were always on the lantern in her right hand. She noticed the words

written on the lantern. “Wish Aisy to be healthy and happy forever.”

Ainsley raised her head and looked at Manuel, who was walking in front of her and holding her hand.

After so long, they once again held each other’s hands. She had mixed feelings. According to Ainsley’s

character, she would not hesitate to throw his hand away. But this time, she was silent.

For the first time, she wanted to follow her true thoughts and indulge once. She liked Manuel and could

not deny it She looked forward to Manuel coming to her and holding her hand tightly.

His tall and straight figure kept blocking the passers–by for her. He was protecting her.

Finally, they walked to the river. Most of the people who had lanterns were going to put down the

lanterns in the river with their lovers.

Ainsley was pushed to the side of the river, not knowing what to do. Manuel followed closely by her

side to protect her.

Get Bot

She saw that the lanterns in other people’s hands were written with the names of two people, and

there was also a wonderful wish. The lantern in her hand only had her own name.

“Wait for me!” Ainsley suddenly said and turned to leave the river.

Manuel looked at her in confusion. He immediately got up and wanted to follow her, but was

stopped by Ainsley. “There are a lot of people. Just wait for me here. It’s not easy to find a place by

the river.”

“Okay.” Manuel looked at her back as she left. The lantern was stuffed into his arms.

The lights on both sides of the river swayed. The branches of the willow trees hung down. The

crowd was noisy. The two couples beside Manuel put the lanterns in the river and cuddled each

other.

“Here.”

A gentle voice came from behind. Manuel turned around and saw Ainsley standing behind him.

“Take it.”

Manuel reached out and took the thing in her hand. It was another lantern with his name on it.

He was happy. He stood side by side with Ainsley. They put the two lanterns together, and they

floated along the river.

On Ainsley’s lantern, it said, “Wish Aisy to be healthy and happy forever.”

And on Manuel’s lantern, it said, “Wish Manuel to be healthy and happy forever.”

The two lanterns were together, drifting further and further as if they were supposed to be one.

On the other side of the river, Roman and Lainey put a lantern into the river together.

Lainey looked at the lantern far away and could not help but put her hands together and make a

wish.

After the lantern completely disappeared from their sight, Ainsley stood up. Manuel pointed in the

direction of the pavilion. “We can see fireworks there later.”

Ainsley was surprised that he remembered this kind of thing. When she walked into the pavilion, the sky was already completely dark.

The colorful scenery on both sides of the river was beautiful. They could even see the colorful lights in the water.

Get Bogus

The two of them were now in the pavilion. At nine o’clock, with a loud sound, fireworks exploded in the sky.

Ainsley covered her ears excitedly. She suddenly thought of the fireworks that Manuel prepared for her on the mountain that night.

She glanced sideways at Manuel. He was focused on watching the fireworks and didn’t know what Ainsley was thinking.

Obviously, Ainsley was also troubled.

Kaliyah was sent to prison, and Lindsay once again found Kaitlin.

In the psychiatric hospital, Kaitlin looked at Lindsay expressionlessly. Kaitlin was sad and upset.
