Chapter 1654-Our little girl
“You were told to close your eyes and you did so immediately. And if some trafficker calls you with him, will you chase him too?”
Hearing a mocking voice in front of her, Angelica was confused and reflexively wanted to open her eyes, but Manuel said, Stop, don’t open your eyes.
Angelica pursued his scarlet lips and asked cautiously, -Manuel, what are you doing?
Due to the fact that she was now in the air at altitude, with her eyes closed, Angelica felt as if she were in weightlessness and a little ‘nervous. But to her question Manuel did not answer. Many different voices were heard around, after all, this is an amusement park. Because of the various noises, Angelica could not hear Manuel’s breathing.
Suddenly she felt someone’s warm breath blow on her face.
She was scared, remembering the words Manuel had just said to her:
– Do you want to know what will happen if you close your eyes on the Ferris wheel at the highest point?
Really.
Angelica’s grip on the phone tightened a few notches, so nervous that her heart began to beat fast, fast.
Suddenly, a cool sensation came to her neck, and Angelica unconsciously opened her eyes just in time to see Manuel’s hand moving back.
There was a necklace around her neck. Due to the fact that it fit very snugly around her neck, lowering her head, she could not see how it looked. At that moment, she completely forgot about the phone.
“Manuel?”
“Look, do you like it?”RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only
Only now did Angelica remember that you can see through a cell phone. Tilting the screen, she saw that she clearly had a well-designed necklace in cool colors around her neck. Around the central figure of the moon were seven small stars, beautifully placed directly above the collarbone.
The Ferris wheel descended slowly.
Manuel’s voice was low and deep.
“Happy birthday my child.”
At that moment, a whole sea of fireworks seemed to explode in Angelica’s head, colorful and bright, covering the entire evening sky and the fire of the sunset
Shining on the girl’s head.
Angelica thought that no matter where she went, who she was with, until what age she lived, until old age or death, she would never forget this moment of today.
The man she loved had given her a gift from the top of the Ferris wheel, saying, “Happy birthday my child.”
At this point, the dark memories of the last trip on the wheel melted away, leaving no trace.
-Manuel, didn’t you say there would be only one gift? Angelica wanted to touch the necklace, but suppressed this impulse, bit her lip and asked a question.
” Why are my birthday wishes always so few for you?
Angelica blinked, suddenly stood up and quickly kissed Manuel on the forehead.
The affectionate smile that had knotted on Manuel’s lips froze completely at this gesture.
A moment later, his eyes deepened a few shades.
The girl, whose ears had turned red from shyness at the sloppy kiss, sat down and turned her back, without saying another word to Manuel .
When the Ferris wheel landed and stopped, Angelica got out first.
Manuel followed her.
It was getting late and the fairground was lit up with neon lights of all colors, and Angelica’s dress shone against the neon lights.
As she walked, Angelica felt uncomfortable, so she walked back to Manuel and tugged at the corner of his shirt.
“Manuel.”
Manuel gave her a sideways glance and teased her, “Aren’t you avoiding me anymore?”
Angelica blushed a little, “They keep looking at me, why don’t we go outside?”
“It’s nice to look at you just because you’re beautiful, isn’t it?”
Yet Angelica was rather shy.
Manuel looked at his wristwatch and saw that it was almost time, so he said, “Are you hungry? Let’s go eat.”
Angelica immediately nodded, “Yes.”
While he was eating, Manuel received a phone call from his mother, and just as he answered there was Serena’s somewhat scolding tone.
“You took Angelica from the birthday party without saying a word to the elders. But the time is late, why aren’t you back yet? I tell you: although Angelica is an adult, but she is still a girl, try to do something with her!
Manuel: “?”
“Did you hear me?”
Manuel glanced at the girl who was eating in front of him, and was glad he hadn’t turned on the speakerphone-otherwise it’s good for this girl to hear those words about “Something like that”?
Probably aware that he was watching her, the girl looked up, her lips glossy with oil, “Who’s calling?”
Manuel pressed his index finger to his lips, giving the girl a sign to be silent. Angelica nodded understandingly.
After that, Manuel covered the phone with his hand and said quietly, -I will take the call, you eat first.”
“Hello.”
After that Manuel opened the compartment door, leaned against the corridor wall near the door and put the phone back to his ear.
“Where is Angelica, brat? You give the phone to Angelica, Mommy wants to talk.”
Manuel asked helplessly, “What do you take me for?
Talking to her now is like talking to a dead person. Not to mention that Manuel didn’t even have such thoughts, and if he did, he wouldn’t do anything like that until there was a very concrete relationship between them.
“Mom is worried anyway , so give the phone to Angelica.”
“He is eating and has no time.”
“You don’t have time to answer the phone or you don’t want me to? Brat, are you going to spend the night out on the street?”
” – All right. If I don’t come back, the dinner will get completely cold. I’m going to eat, I’ll bring it home later.
Before hanging up, Manuel faintly heard Fiona’s voice, “Then I’ll call my daughter, too.”
Hearing these words, Manuel initially wanted to enter, but then stopped. And indeed, after a while, a phone call was heard in the room.
Seeing that her mother was calling, Angelica did not even wipe her mouth. As she continued to eat, she picked up the phone.
Because Manuel was talking on the phone outside, he just turned on the speakerphone.
“Mom.”
“Angelica are you out with Manuel?”
“Yes, we are eating now. What’s wrong?”
“Nothing, I just wanted to ask if you had a good time today?”
Angelica paused for a moment, then remembered the necklace around her neck and said, “Yes, I had a great time.”
Although Angelica did not jump for joy as she said these words, Serena still realized that this girl was really happy, which is why she said it so seriously.
“I’m glad you liked it. Then let me ask you one more question: are you coming home tonight?”
At his words, Angelica’s eyes showed a confused look, “Of course I’m going home, why not?”
