Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 609 Serina in Love

Manuel left for the study to give them both some space.

After that, Serina hugged Ainsley unscrupulously. "My brother left, so I can finally hug you. I miss you! I haven't seen

you for so long."

Looking at Serina's current state, Ainsley knew that she had already forgotten about all the gloominess.

She had heard from Lainey about what Serina did at the banquet. On that day, Serina was confident, clever, and

courageous.

"Do you have any nightmares recently, Serina?" Ainsley asked with concern.

Serina shook her head and replied, "I haven't had nightmares for many days. I remember the last time I had a

nightmare was when you had a car accident. I was so scared that day, and that's why I had a nightmare.’

Ainsley nodded silently, but before she could prepare for the test, she heard something ringing.

It was Serina's phone. She seemed to be a little excited as she picked up the call, and she immediately smiled when

she saw the caller ID. ‘’Hello.*

Sitting on the couch, Ainsley watched Serina with a faint smile, and she heard Serina's voice getting more and more

intimate.

"Of course not! You don't understand at all. How hateful. Ainsley is here, so not today. I want to accompany her

today."

After waiting for more than ten minutes, Serina reluctantly hung up the call.

As soon as she hung up the phone, she was startled to see a meaningful look in Ainsley's eyes. Her cheeks flushed

as she looked away, hiding the phone behind her back.

"Ainsley, why are you looking at me like that?"

Ainsley stretched out her index finger and bent it, flicking Serina's forehead with them. "Who did you talk to just

now?"

Serina looked at Ainsley awkwardly for a long time before stammering, ’It's Miles Reynolds."

"That actor?"

At the Christmas party in the resort, they met Miles, who had helped them a lot, and it seemed that both Miles and

Serina developed feelings for each other from then on.

Ainsley pondered for a moment and asked, "Are you both in a relationship?"

"Ainsley, please don't tell my brother about this, or he'll definitely discriminate against Miles." Serina's innocent face

was full of worry, and Ainsley couldn't help but laugh when she heard that.

"You're protecting him already?"

Serina shyly held onto Ainsley's arm. "That's not true, Ainsley. Stop teasing me. It's just that you don't know what

kind of person my brother is.

Everyone is a bad person to him, and you don't know how he deals with people. If he says he wants to investigate

someone, he'll investigate all eight generations of that person and what they have done before. Maybe he'll kidnap

Miles and interrogate him!’

As she spoke, she made a horrifying expression, which almost made Ainsley laugh.

"Is your brother that scary of a person in your heart?" Ainsley held Serina's hand, and Serina nodded desperately,

for fear that Ainsley would not know how scary Manuel was.

"Does Miles want to ask you out?" Ainsley had overheard Serina's conversation on the phone.

Serina immediately changed the topic and poured a glass of water for Ainsley. "Ainsley, are you here today to

accompany me?"

"Yup. I'm here to see if you've recovered mentally.’

"Do you think I got better after you've seen me?" Serina blinked her bright eyes, and Ainsley couldn’t help but

stroke her head again.

"Yeah. You're much better now."

Serina was too naive, and Ainsley was afraid that she would get hurt.

"Then let's eat something delicious later, shall we? We'll extort Manuel's money," Serina said coquettishly as she

shook Ainsley's arm.

"Okay." Ainsley knew very well that Serina just wanted to create opportunities for her and Manuel.

Although she refused the idea of being in contact with Manuel, she still couldn't refuse Serina.

"Great! I'll go change my clothes right away.’ Serina then ran up the stairs.

In the study on the second floor, Manuel was dealing with the company's affairs, and he stopped working when he

saw Ainsley coming in.

Ainsley placed a cup of coffee in front of him. "I noticed Nancy was going to bring you some coffee, so I brought it

along with me."

"Thank you." Manuel took the cup and smelled the strong scent of coffee.

He took a sip and looked at Ainsley suspiciously. "Have you finished the test? How's Serina? Is she okay?"

Ainsley sat on the couch in front of the table and nodded. ’She's fine, so don't worry. She's happy now, but the

happiness isn't from the both of us."

Manuel chuckled. ’I know. Miles."

Seeing the smile on Ainsley's face, he immediately guessed it. "Serina must have said a lot of bad things about me

just now, right? She made me look like an unforgivable villain."

"Aren't you?"

The two looked at each other and smiled. Manuel felt the comfort that he hadn't felt for a long time as if they had

returned to the past.

However, the next second, Ainsley became serious as she looked at Manuel. "I indirectly caused Serina's

depression."

Manuel's hand froze as if he was surprised to hear Ainsley say this. ’Don't say that. Irene is the one who caused

everything. She's the culprit."

"But if that's the case, then isn't it because of you?" Ainsley glanced at Manuel coldly.

Manuel didn't dare to say anything else. He had indeed done something wrong.

"I'm sorry, Aisy. I'll do whatever you want me to do."

Ainsley shook her head indifferently. "There's nothing you can do to make up for it."

"I know, but I always want to do something about it. Aisy, you can ask me for anything." The guilt in his heart had

now reached its peak.

"Okay. I do have a request," Ainsley said, and Manuel was overjoyed.

"I'll agree to anything."

Ainsley then took a deep breath. "I hope you can stay away from me. Stop coming any closer."

With a smile on his face, Manuel didn't dare to say anything. His gaze froze as he fixed his gaze on the laptop on the

table.

Both of them were silent, and neither of them spoke again until Serina pushed the door open, breaking the

awkward silence.

"Ainsley! Manuel! I'm already dressed. Let's go!" She looked at them with a smile.

However, after a long silence, no one spoke, so nervously, Serina said again, "I'm hungry. Let's go."

Just as Manuel was about to stand up, Ainsley wiped away her tears indifferently, saying, "I'm sorry, Serina. I'll see

you some other time."

After that, she turned around and left without any hesitation.

Manuel's face instantly turned pale, but he didn't want to say anything in front of Serina.

"Manuel, what's wrong with Ainsley? Did you bully her?" Serina raised her fist and tried to hit him.

As for Manuel, he shut his laptop and exhaled wearily. "It's my fault. I was wrong from the beginning."

Hearing his words, Serina swallowed nervously. 'Manuel, what exactly happened?"

After a while, Manuel regained his senses and replied, "I'm fine, Serina. What do you want to eat?"

Serina could only pout at that reply. "I don't want to eat anything. I don't have an appetite anymore since Ainsley

left. I might as well..."
