Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Angelica later went to the Ferrari family, just to play with Lea, and when she saw Manuel arrive, although she unconsciously wanted to go up and call her brother, she restrained herself and sat quietly.

When Manuel came to talk to her, Angelica only casually responded.

At first Manuel thought she was just in a bad mood, but when he realized she was only doing it with him, he found it a little strange.

Then he deliberately observed her and proposed to take her skiing in a few days.

A little happy to hear about skiing, Angelica was about to say yes when she thought of something else and then shook her head, “No, I can’t.”

“Why?” Manuel’s gaze took over her face and eyes, trying to figure out what was going on, “Didn’t you like to go in previous years?”

Angelica bit her lip slightly and buried her head in his lap, “I really don’t want to go this year.”

“Why don’t you want to go?” Manuel asked again, with no intention of letting her go.

Faced with such a Manuel, Angelica felt helpless and could only whisper, “I don’t want to go, don’t ask.”Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.

Manuel sighed, “What happened recently?”

He was a little worried, after all the ridiculous things he had heard earlier from Pacino’s mouth, he had feared that someone else might talk nonsense even in front of Angelica.

It didn’t matter to him, but not if Angelica heard it.

Fortunately, Angelica had always been innocent, but since winter break, she had stopped coming to his house, and when she did, she was less willing to engage with him.

It was obvious to him that the girl was deliberately distancing herself from him, so Manuel became a little suspicious that someone had said something in front of her.

“No, no.” Angelica denied it and tried to get up to leave, but there was a grip on her wrist and she was pulled back by Manuel’s whole body, probably because she was moving a little hastily, so Angelica fell into Manuel’s arms, and her whole breath was filled with the scent that belonged to him.

It was familiar, but also unfamiliar.

Although she had been familiar with his smell in the past, when the two of them had been together without any taboos, now she felt strange and her heart was even racing a little.

She wanted to run away.

“Brother, let me go.”

Angelica struggled with a red face.

Manuel did not notice the girl’s strangeness and let her go later to sit on the sofa, “So tell us what happened, did someone say something to you?”

There was only one thing she was worried about now, and that was whether or not someone had said something in front of her, and whether or not Pacino, that blowhard, would go to her alone during the vacations?

With that in mind, she added, “Did Pacino come to you during the vacations?”

“What does that have to do with Pacino?” Angelica didn’t quite understand and just stared at the wrist she had just had squeezed; her skin was white and delicate, so just that slight squeeze had brought out a small light pink mark on her wrist.

“It’s okay.” Manuel said lightly, “I’m just asking.”

“Oh.”

Angelica stopped talking again and Manuel, a little confused by her appearance, narrowed his eyes on the back of her head and decided to be direct: “You seem to be deliberately pulling away from me lately?”

Ang6 had not expected him to ask so directly and looked up abruptly, “No, how could I ever do that, don’t overthink it brother!”

“No?” Looking at the young girl’s expression, Manuel doubted himself a little, was he really thinking too much?

But yes, after the ridiculous things he had heard from Pacino, many things about Angelica tended to mess themselves up.

Maybe even this time, if it hadn’t been for those words, he still would have thought that the girl was deliberately pulling away from him?

He shouldn’t have been.

“There’s really nothing, and my brother didn’t tell me before that men and women are different, and Angelica is grown up now.”

Manuel froze for a moment and then burst out laughing.

“Yes, you’ve grown up, you’re not the little girl you used to be.”

After all, she was a freshman in high school and would be a sophomore. She was growing up without realizing it and knew the difference between men and women, so it was natural that she did not want to have too much contact with him as an older brother.

In this case, Manuel understood.

“Okay, I guess I’m thinking too much, so are you coming skiing?”

“No, I can’t.”

“Okay.”

When Manuel left, Angelica’s expression became a little frustrated, actually she wanted to go, she wanted to go out with him, but … thought that if he had a girlfriend in the future, he would not have time to be nice to her.

Angelica then had to bear the pain of rejection, it was better not to get too close now than to make a bad impression in the future.

Following Angelica’s remark about the difference between men and women, Manuel, did not approach her again, and he was very respectful of Angelica’s opinion.

So there was very little conversation between the two.

Usually when there was an event with Manuel, Angelica did not go, and so it was almost New Year’s Eve when Serena noticed at the end, and decided to call Angelica to ask what was going on.

“Angelica, Auntie wants to ask you if you had a fight with your brother recently?”

Angelica did not expect this to alarm Aunt Serena and was a bit nervous and incoherent. “Aunt Serena, I didn’t mean to, I just …”

“Don’t be anxious.”

Serena took her soft, boneless little hand, “Speak softly, whatever you say Auntie will not blame you.”

“Did your brother mistreat you?”

“No.” Angelica shook her head.

“Then why don’t you want to be with your brother? Or your brother doesn’t want to be with you and that Auntie will scold him.”

“No, Aunt Serena, don’t blame Manuel, it’s none of his business.”

“Then what happened, are you going to tell Aunt Serena?”

Angelica thought about it and decided it was better not to involve Manuel, if he didn’t tell her, Aunt Serena would surely blame her brother.

Thinking about this, Angelica leaned toward Serena and tilting her head whispered, “It was my mother who said that my brother would have a girl in the future, but he is too good to me, so …”

Hearing this, what was it that Serena did not understand, “So you don’t want to be near your brother?”

In fact, as far as the relationship between the children was concerned, Serena did not really want to restrict too much, although at first, when Cristian brought Angelica, the intention was to find him a girlfriend, but at that time the two were still so young and unsure of everything.

Although the two had played well together over the years, Serena felt it was up to the children to develop their own relationship, so she did not interfere.

But now that Angelica is talking about it, should she give a little guidance?
