Chapter 1596 Say what you want to say
That night, Angelica slept restlessly, dreaming of all sorts of nonsense, of people saying all sorts of things, Louisa’s ridicule and sarcasm in one place, Pacino’s comfort in another.
Then the scene changes and there are the words of those who spoke to her.
At the end there was Manuel, standing quietly, looking at him with loving eyes, no extra glances, just opening his hand toward her.
“Angelica.”
Then Angelica rushed toward him without a second thought, but before she could jump into his arms, the scene in front of her changed again.
Manuel had disappeared and turned into some unfamiliar faces, both male and female, looking at her with mischievous eyes.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
“Look how fat she is, she’s so ugly, but she thinks she’s beautiful, she wants to get her hands on Calligaris’ handsome man, and she doesn’t look in the mirror.”
“Oh my God, with her figure she will crush him and run after him too?”
“I’m shocked, do fat people have such strong self-esteem nowadays?
One sharp word after another crashed into Angelica’s heart.
Angelica’s heart was hard as hell, shaking her head as she cried, “No, I don’t, I don’t …”
Angelica, who had had a terrible dream, did not know at all that Manuel at that moment was sitting in front of the bed watching her.
He, seeing that Angelica was having a nightmare and crying, frowned. At first, he came to wake her up, but eventually he called the girl for a long time but did not receive an answer. Manuel began to worry that something had happened, finally opened the door and came in, hearing Angelica’s moans. As soon as he sat down next to her, Angelica began to cry, also very sadly.
Was this a nightmare?
Manuel Calligaris reached out and gently covered her forehead and noticed that her temperature seemed a little high, so he patted her cheek lightly:
“Angelica, Angelica.”
“No, I didn’t …” Angelica was still crying.
Manuel could only keep calling her name as he urged her, “Don’t cry, you’re not, brother is here, don’t cry, okay?”
Sleepy Angelica suddenly wrapped her arms around him, as if relieved, and after a moment rubbed against his hand, calling softly in a stunned voice, “Manuel.”
Manuel’s heart immediately softened.
This girl is an adult. Why is she still the same as when she was a child? A year later, she would become an adult, and she still doesn’t understand anything, she was so naive that Manuel was worried about her. Lea was smarter than her, too. Thinking about it, Manuel covered her with a blanket and gently began to withdraw his hand.
And Angelica, who was sleeping as if frightened, woke up immediately. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Manuel’s face in front of her.
“Manuel?” Angelica thought she was mistaken, otherwise how could she have seen him as soon as she woke up?
“Yes.” Manuel stood up and tapped her forehead, “Finally awake?”
After tapping her forehead, he noticed that there were still traces of tears in the corners of her eyes, and the look in her eyes darkened.
Angelica realized she had tears and sat up nervously, reaching out to touch her face and finding it wet.
“Ah, I can’t believe I’m crying.”
“Confused, you don’t even know you’re crying?”
Angelica shook her head, “It happened last time too, why am I crying? I’m sorry Manuel, I don’t know what’s wrong with me, actually I’m not sad or upset.”
“I don’t blame you, what are you apologizing for?”
Manuel had grown up with her and was actually very sensitive to her mind, Angelica had always been good at talking and soft-spoken, so basically she would never do or say anything bad to anyone else.
So she never had to apologize to anyone.
Now she got up and cried to herself, but did she apologize to him?
What was the reason for that?
Manuel’s eyebrows furrowed, “What happened?”
At his words, Angelica’s head lowered and her eyes flashed with panic and weakness, “Nothing happened, I just thought it was nothing, but I actually cried, so …”
— So you decided to apologize to me? “Manuel cupped her chin, lifting her face, naturally noticing these emotions in her gaze.
“What is it that you are hiding?”
“Manuel.”
“Tell the truth.”
Angelica, surely, could not tell him what had happened yesterday. Because those words might betray her thoughts. But if she said nothing, Manuel would continue to question and worry her. So Angelica shifted her gaze and suddenly crying softly, said:
“Actually, I dreamed of you.”
“Me?”
Manuel Calligaris narrowed his eyes slightly, “Dreamed of what?”
– I dreamed that you abandoned me, You were unhappy that I was so troubled, I also eat so much. So I was feeling sad.”
“Leaving you behind and thinking you were too big a problem?”
– Yes, I asked you what to eat, and you were unhappy that I was delivering too much food.
When Angelica finished, her eyes turned red. She grabbed him by the arms and said.
“Manuel, you don’t mean that?”
Manuel was petrified by her touch. It was only some time later that he regained consciousness and said quietly:
“Of course not, how could I leave you? Dreams are the opposite of reality and do not become real.”
– So if you are responsible for your words, don’t you dare leave me.”
“All right.”
Only then did Angelica realize that she was holding the arms of a big man and let go, her face still flushed.
“Are you shy now?” Manuel touched the tip of her nose, “You can’t do that in the future, you’re older now, there’s a difference between men and women, whether it’s me or the guys next to you, you have to be careful to keep your distance from them.”
“Okay, I understand.”
Angelica got up, put on her coat, brushed her teeth, washed her face, put on cream, and went downstairs with Manuel to have breakfast.
Walking out the door, she ran into Pacino with Louisa.
“Be nice today, do you hear me? If you piss her off, I’ll send you home and say a few words about you to her brother so you can’t be friends.”
Louisa was exasperated but had to agree.
“Understood.”
The words ended up coming out of her mouth, and she had not expected to clash head-on like that.
“Angelica, are you awake?”
Louisa immediately greeted her with a smile, a warmth that made Angelica wince for a moment, and only after seeing Pacino did Angelica think of something and have to smile back.
“Yes.”
– Sorry about yesterday, I couldn’t sleep with you yesterday. My friends yelled a lot while we were talking. When they called me on a video call, I was afraid I would interfere with you, so I decided to spend the night separately. You weren’t offended, were you?”
Apparently it was Pacino who told her to say that, and she was the first to apologize. Therefore, Angelica decided to forgive Louisa:
“No, I was not offended.”
