Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Seeing him, Ainsley gradually relaxed. She glanced around and began to think about her situation.

Ainsley soon remembered the photo in the study. She had a headache.

“Manuel, what’s the photo in your study?” Ainsley rubbed her head and stared at Manuel, who had a hint

of panic on his face, not giving him a chance to retreat.

Manuel gave Ainsley a cup of tea and said, “What are you talking about? What photo? Are you

thirsty? You just woke up. Drink some water.”

“I’m not thirsty. Don’t change the topic! What’s the photo?” Ainsley frowned and looked straight at

Manuel.

That photo?

At this moment, Serina timidly moved over.

“Serina, how are you?” Ainsley asked worriedly.

Serina said guilty, “Ainsley, I’m sorry. It was my fault. I shouldn’t have lied to you.”

At the moment when Ainsley was still concerned about her, Serina felt more guilty. Serina did not expect

that Ainsley, who had just woken up, would still be thinking about her.

“What nonsense are you saying?”

“I’m not ******. I deliberately pretended to be ****to let you and Manuel have a chance to stay together

alone. Ainsley, it is my fault. If not for me, you would not have suddenly fainted,” Serina

said as her eyes reddened.

Ainsley shook her head and pursed her lips. Ainsley said, “Serina, it’s not because of you. It’s because I

saw a photo and my brain hurts.”

Serina hesitated for a moment and took out the photo she picked up from the study. Serina asked

doubtfully, “Ainsley, are you talking about this?”

Manuel narrowed his eyes. He hadn’t expected Serina would bring this photo over. Manuel looked

at Serina threateningly and said, “Serina?”

Serina retracted her hand with fear. Ainsley immediately grabbed the photo and said, “What are

you afraid of?”

Afraid?

Manuel was not a ***. It was rare to see Manuel afraid of something. But now, not only Ainsley,

even Serina could see the fear on Manuel’s face.

Manuel sighed. The photo was already in Ainsley’s hands. Ainsley stared at the photo.

“Ainsley, this photo, I…” Serina said hesitantly.

“What do you want to say?” Ainsley suddenly raised her head.

“I seem to have some impression.”

“Continue.” Ainsley grabbed Serina’s arm anxiously.

Manuel looked at Serina seriously. He was afraid that Serina would say something strange.

Under their heated gazes, Serina said, “Ainsley, I have an impression of you and Manuel. Just like in a

dream, I dreamed that you and Manuel were walking here, holding hands to get into the car, and

even kissing.”

Serina said excitedly. Ainsley flushed. Ainsley didn’t expect that Serina would say this.

Coincidentally, someone called Manuel. He immediately picked up and left the ward.

At this moment, only Ainsley and Serina were left in the ward. Ainsley’s eyes were fixed on the photo,

just like when she found the photo in the old house.

Serina looked at Ainsley with concern and said gently, “Ainsley, don’t worry. Even if you find this photo,

it’s nothing. Maybe you and Manuel knew each other before, but you both forgot. I know

that Manuel will never hurt you.”

Of course, Ainsley also knew that. She put the photo on the table and asked, “What’s wrong with you

pretending to be *****?”

Serina was a little embarrassed. She replied, “Ainsley, ever since you broke up with Manuel, I never saw

a smile on his face again. Every night when I went downstairs to drink water, I could see Manuel

standing on the balcony, and his face was full of worry. I always asked Manuel what was wrong with him,

but he never told me. Until one day, when Manuel was drunk, he kept talking about

your name.”

Serina paused and continued, “Ainsley, I know that the engagement between Manuel and Irene has

disappointed you. I still don’t know why. But, since I knew you, you are the only one Manuel likes. I know

that both of you feel sorry for each other. I have never seen you two stay together alone and get along

well, so I had this kind of thought. I wanted to create a chance for you to get along alone, but I didn’t

expect things would develop like this. I’m sorry, Ainsley. This matter has nothing to do

with Manuel. Don’t blame him.”

Ainsley thought for a moment. Then, she said, “Serina, can you do me a favor?”

“Ainsley, what do you want me to do?” Serina hurriedly nodded.

Ainsley waved her hand and whispered a few words into Serina’s ear. After Serina heard this, she

nodded solemnly.

In the middle of the night, Serina sneakily entered the study.

Serina did not dare to turn on the main light. She only turned on a lamp. Under the dim yellow light,

Serina walked toward Manuel’s desk and began to search.

Today at the hospital, Ainsley asked Serina to help her find if there were any traces of the past in

Manuel’s office, such as photos… or other things.

However, Serina looked through it. In the study, other than some dull documents, there were some

materials and books. There were no private items at all.

Serina looked at the safe box. She had peeked at the password before. Serina thought, perhaps in

Manuel’s heart, everything about Ainsley is very important. Perhaps it is in the safe box.

Serina opened the safe box and saw a kraft paper bag at the top.

For some reason, Serina felt uneasy, as if something big had happened.

Serina opened the kraft paper bag nervously and took out all the paper in the bag.

The more Serina looked at it, the more shocked she became. Her fingers trembled, and she finally

managed to calm down.

Serina looked at this piece of paper, full of things that confused her. Serina was so nervous that she

couldn’t even feel her heart beating. Serina sat on the ground in fear, and the paper was

scattered all over the ground.

At that time, Manuel was resting in his room. He had been busy all day today, and now he was full

of exhaustion.

“Pa!”

The light switch was turned on, and the dazzling light made Manuel cover his head with the quilt.

Manuel rubbed his eyes, sat up from the bed, and looked at the person with his sleepy eyes.

“Serina, what’s wrong?” Manuel asked softly.

After a long time without an answer, Manuel found that Serina was looking at him with tears all over her

face. Serina was holding a kraft paper bag in her hand.

“Serina, what are you holding in your hand?” Manuel suddenly came to his senses.

Serina threw the kraft paper bag on Manuel’s bed and asked in a tearful voice, “Why?”

Manuel recognized what was in the kraft bag at first glance. He did not bring too many things. when he

came back from Ocala, except for the evidence of the factory of the Wade Group.

However, Manuel never thought that the first person to see this document would be Serina.
