Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 423 ***

In contrast with eye candy, Brady wanted to know if Manuel would regret giving up on Irene and

choosing

Ainsley.

Not only Brady, even Irene couldn’t help but look at Manuel when she spoke. She hoped that when she

was

being stared at by Manuel.

Unfortunately, under the bright light, those dazzling spotlights had already made her unable to open her

eyes,

but she could still clearly see Manuel slightly bending his head and staring at Ainsley with a smile on his

face.

She had never seen that kind of gaze before, or at least Manuel had never looked at her like this.

He was full of love and affection as if he could not see enough of Ainsley.

Irene’s hand that was holding the microphone unconsciously tightened. Perhaps the outcome had

already

been decided.

This kind of gaze was too scorching. Irene only felt that it was very annoying. She hated seeing this kind

of

gaze. It should not have appeared on Manuel’s face. What was even more unacceptable was that the

person

he was looking at was not her, but Ainsley.

As she finished speaking, her hand that was holding the microphone began to tremble. She was almost

unable to hold the microphone and didn’t even know what to say.

Brady was the first to realize that something was wrong with Irene. He slowly walked up and directly took

the

microphone from Irene.

“Everyone…”

The imposing aura instantly pulled Irene back to reality. She looked at her grandfather in fear. What did I

just

do?

This was the home field of the Wade family. She was in the limelight. How could she lose her composure

just

because of his gaze?

In the crowd, Kaliyah seemed to have expected this and sneered softly, Irene looks calm, but her mind is

probably a mess now.

The moment that Manuel tugged at her heart, she had a weakness.

And Ainsley, who caused all this, was in a daze. She did not know how lovingly and crazily Manuel was

looking at her. Of course, she did not know what had happened because of this look.

She was just thinking about when the banquet would begin.

“What are you thinking about?” Manuel asked softly. From the beginning, he had discovered that Ainsley

was

in a daze.

“I was thinking about how long they were going to talk nonsense.” Ainsley shook her head.

Get spend

It continued. Irene seemed to have not finished speaking, but she suddenly stopped. The one who

continued

to talk was Brady. No one dared to urge him or say anything else.

When he said the banquet began, Ainsley clearly heard several sounds of relief.

Finally, she did not have to stand there foolishly. She immediately ran to the corner, ignoring what she

had

stirred up, and began to eat pastries.

Her mission today was very simple. All she needed to do was let Irene see her with Manuel.

However, Manuel did not seem to want to complete the mission so easily. He took two glasses of red

wine

and walked to Ainsley’s side, giving her one. “Dance with me later.”

Ainsley took the wine glass and frowned. “You didn’t say that I needed to dance before.”

Manuel took a sip of the wine in the glass and said seriously, “Of course, we need to act more. She had

already lost her composure just now.”

Lost her composure?

Ainsley looked at Irene strangely. She had not noticed that Irene had lost her composure just now.

Moreover,

we didn’t do anything. Why would she lose her composure?

No, it is possible that Irene loves Manuel too deeply, so she couldn’t control herself when seeing him.

She raised her eyebrows. “Ms. Wade is really affectionate to you. As expected of childhood sweethearts

who

grew up together.”

Manuel smiled and said, “I’m afraid there is nothing between us. She’s just unwilling to accept it. Ever

since

she was young, Irene has been spoiled. The things she wants will be placed on the table the next day.

But as

long as it involves me, what she wants has never been obtained.”

Ainsley asked in confusion, “It sounds like you are mocking her, but why do I feel like you are showing

off?”

Manuel didn’t deny it, but he thought of another person. “Mr. Hume doesn’t look simple. Stay away from

him.”

Only then did Ainsley think of the man who had just gone downstairs with Irene. The man had a gentle

smile

on his face, but it made people feel that there was the deepest malice hidden under that smile.

He was indeed not a simple person.

“He likes Irene?” Other than that, there was no other reason for him to help the Wade family.

Manuel shook his head and said in a deep voice, “Not necessarily. He is just a ***. He is scheming. I

don’t think he likes Irene. Then what does he really want?”

Suddenly, the lights went out and the entire hall was dark like night.

The next second, a happy birthday song was heard. Daniel pushed a cake that was half the height of a

man

out of the dark. The cake had eight layers with a sweet aroma.

Everyone was thinking about who this man was.

“Could it be Ms. Wade’s new lover?”

“These people are really interesting. Manuel is attending with a female companion. Ms. Wade also has a

male companion.”

“They might break up peacefully, right? But it seems that this man is also very outstanding.”

“Come on, you guys don’t even know him? That is the son of the Hume family from Portugal, Daniel

Hume. His family is powerful.”

Listening to the discussions of these people, Kaliyah also looked at Daniel. He wore an elegant suit with

exquisite cufflinks. He was low-key with luxury. Such a man was comparable to Manuel.

Irene is great. After Manuel left her, Daniel showed up.

However, Kaliyah only cared about Cason.

But from the moment he saw Ainsley, Cason’s mind began to wander.

“Cason, what are you thinking?” She tugged at Cason’s sleeve.

It was only then that Cason came back to his senses. His eyes were bloodshot. “Nothing.”

Everyone sang a happy birthday song together. In the song that was full of blessings, everyone had

different

expressions. There were only a few people who sincerely wished her well. Irene closed her eyes and

made a

wish. She opened her eyes and blew out the candles. She once again stared straight at Manuel, and

Ainsley

next to her was like a third wheel.

The lights were bright. A young lady in the dress began to play the piano.

Irene looked at Manuel in a daze. At the last moment, she was still waiting for him. Daniel didn’t mind it,

stretched out his hand, and asked, “May I dance with you?”

Irene put her hand on his and nodded gently.

Daniel grabbed her waist with his other hand and began to dance gracefully.

Manuel was also inviting Ainsley. Under everyone’s gaze, she put her hand on Manuel’s shoulder, and

they

also danced.

Everyone also joined in, but Ainsley was too stunning. The people dancing next to Ainsley frequently

looked

over.

Manuel’s aura was terrifying as if wrapping around Ainsley. Only then did some crazy men quickly look

away.

Looking at the crowd, Kaliyah was restless. She also wanted to dance with Cason.

She had been pregnant for ten months, and she was already about to go crazy. She had stayed in bed

for so long after she gave birth to her baby, and she had already forgotten all kinds of entertainment.
