Chapter 1603 Isn’t she like him then?
After talking to Fiona about what was on her mind, Angelica began to lose even more weight.
After a winter break, before going to school, Angelica weighed herself and found that she had lost only about five pounds, which was a bit discouraging.
“Mom, how come I only lost five kilos?”
A little upset she grabbed her head.
” You have thrown away these kilograms in a short period, it’s very nice, do you think everyone can lose these five kilograms so easily?”
Fiona pinched her cheek and whispered, “-You have to lose weight gradually and evenly, under no circumstances, you can’t rush for a quick result, otherwise you can hurt yourself, what will you do then?”
“Yes.”
Angelica could only nod her head.
“Well, when you go to school you have to do the same as at home, you can’t say you’re hungry and not eat, okay? Eat less high-calorie, and cut down on sweet and fizzy drinks.”
“Okay.”
Angelica knew all this, because all this slows down weight loss. Also, especially, from frequent use of sweets, diabetes can easily appear. In her weight loss plan, Angelica completely excluded sweets and sugary drinks. But in all this time, she had never eaten chocolate or marshmallows, and her mouth craved for them so much but she cannot eat them.
He wanted to take weight loss seriously.
When school started, Manuel and Pacino came to pick up Angelica.
After the first sight of her, they both froze for a moment and the light in Pacino’s eyes faded.
The girl had lost weight and that hike had hurt her a lot.
Angelica, who had lost five pounds, was not really visible on the surface, but it had been a while since we had seen her, so we could see that she had lost some flesh on her face.
But there was a silent agreement not to talk about it, just to be quiet on the way to school.
And when Pacino brought in her suitcase, she found it empty, no longer filled with snacks as before.
After the two had driven her to school, Pacino couldn’t help but say, “Angelica, why didn’t you bring snacks with you this time, did you forget?
He couldn’t contain himself after all the way.
When he looked at Manuel, his face was still calm, and Pacino thought to himself, “Can’t you see that she has lost weight? Why doesn’t she react?
Angelica smiled a little awkwardly and said, “No, Pacino, I will have to eat less food.”
Here she paused for a moment and after giving Manuel an involuntary look explained, “Too much junk food is not good for your health.”
Pacino’s lips twitched, not finding the words to respond for a moment.
It was Manuel who pulled the suitcase out of the car and then reached out to massage Angelica’s head, “- Okay, eating fewer snacks is really a good thought, but occasionally, when you really want to, you can eat some ‘nuttiness, and at normal times there should be a full lunch.”
This was true, and Pacino would have agreed if it were the old days.
But after the incident in the snowy countryside, he had been so upset that he had texted Angelica many times when he came back to ask her out, but each time Angelica had said she had to stay home and so had not gone on the date.
When I met her now and found out that she had lost so much weight, her soul felt even worse.
She should have been as happy and content as a bird.
Pacino didn’t say anything to her while she tidied up her dormitory, and only mentioned it to Manuel when he came back.
“Don’t you think Angelica has lost weight?”
Manuel’s expression was bland: “Why?”
“She …”
Pacino said nothing for a long time, not quite knowing how to say it.
“Pacino,” Manuel said after a long silence, probably because he was struggling, “She will be an adult in a year.”
“So?”
“She has her own ideas now, she must have thought about everything she wants to do, so there’s no need to worry too much or interfere too much.”
Pacino thought to himself: Of course, he doesn’t know what happened in the village, if he did, he would hardly be so calm now.
Although Manuel did not personally see what happened in the village, but having heard the tense situation at that time, he could guess what happened there.
But the girl had been very clear that she did not want him to pursue the matter, and although Manuel could not bear to see her suffer, he had no reason not to accept her request since she had asked him to.
On the condition that she would take care of it herself and that there would be no other problems.
Livia was a little surprised to see Angelica.
“Angelica why have you lost so much weight?”
Angelica froze for a moment before touching her face, “Do you see that?”
Livia nodded, “Of course, your face is a size smaller, how much weight have you lost?”
“Five or six pounds.”
“How did you lose weight?” Livia was stunned, after all, in all the years she had known Angelica, she had never thought Angelica would actually lose weight one day.
“Only … restricted my diet a little bit, and with exercise, she lost all this weight.”
These last words surprised Livia even more.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
“Are you, are you on a diet?”
Angelica nodded awkwardly as a shy look appeared on her face.
“Well, yes, I am.”
“Why do you want to lose weight all of a sudden?”
After all these years, Angelica had always been a foodie, nothing had stopped her from eating, and now she wanted to lose weight.
Angelica’s cheeks flushed and, because she considered Livia a good friend, she leaned close to her ear and whispered.
There was a few moments of consternation on Livia’s face, and after hearing Angelica’s words, the blood on her face disappeared for a few moments, seemingly in disbelief.
“You, you just said …”
“Livia, only you, my mother and I, the three of us know, you can’t tell anyone else.”
He reached out and wrapped his arms around Livia, smiling, “I will definitely try to lose weight.”
Livia felt cold and looked at Angelica, who trusted her so much, and for the first time felt so uncomfortable.
She had studied so much, almost sleeping in the library, and even this winter break at home, always finding time to study, for what?
Now Angelica was working hard to lose weight, not realizing that the goal was actually the same as her own.
Livia bit her lower lip slightly and smiled, “Of course, I won’t tell anyone.”
Although the purpose is the same, … they are still good friends, after all, they have known each other for a long time, and Angelica treats her very well, in fact, Livia had this feeling vaguely last time, but at that time Angelica didn’t know anything, so Livia didn’t worry too much.
But now she has started to lose weight.
Thinking about it, Livia could not help but ask, “- Angelica, are you sure about your feelings?”
What?
“After all, you grew up with him, so you must be unconsciously dependent on him…. I mean, maybe just out of habit you want to be by his side, and not out of love. “
