Chapter 1634 This is a promise.
She did not answer.
Manuel looked at her intently, guessing what she was thinking at that moment, before asking, “- Will you continue to ignore me?
Angelica gave him a look.
“- That girl, isn’t she really your girlfriend?
“Yes.”
After their conversation, the mood became much better, maybe in the future such a possibility will not arise, it is necessary to understand to the end.
“So then, do you know my feelings?
Manuel froze, not expecting her to be so direct in her question.
Of course he knew, but now he did not want to discuss the matter.
He had to reach out and rub her head, and said in a low voice, “Children should focus on their studies.”
He didn’t say it outright, but Angelica understood what he meant.
Fearful that she would think too much, Manuel added, “Other things will wait until you are an adult.”
Hearing this, Angelica’s heart lit up with a little hope.
“You mean we’ll come back and talk when I’m older?
What did she mean?
“Everything will wait until you are an adult, okay?”
Angelica abruptly grabbed his palm, “That’s a promise.”
“What promise?”
“Until I am older, you will not date other girls.”
Angelica’s eyes widened and she stared seriously at Manuel, asking expectantly, “Agreed?”
They looked at each other for a long time before Manuel laughed softly.
“Yes, I agree, I agree about everything.
He should have been happy, but when he heard her promise, Angelica could not hold back her tears.
Manuel panicked, a man less than two meters tall was confused in front of a little girl, not understanding how to calm her down.
“You don’t cry, didn’t he promise you?”
“- yes, I don’t cry, I’m not sad…. Angelica sobbed, continuing….
I am simply too happy.
All this time it was difficult for her, she thought she would never have the chance to confess again.
“- Did you know I was ready to break up with you forever?”
Manuel’s heart clenched, he pressed her harder, fortunately they met today, if they hadn’t resolved the misunderstanding, she probably would have really walked away from him.
Usually Angelica is soft and easy to communicate, she can accept whatever you tell her, but actually she is very stubborn when it comes to things that are important to her.
This time, too, he wanted to meet her, but it took a long time to do so.
Fortunately, it had been made clear.
“It can’t be, I wouldn’t let that happen.
Angelica suddenly lifted her small face with tear-stained eyes and said, “May I hug you?”
There was a slight pause in her fingertips and Angelica blinked slightly:
“Just a little.”
A second later, Manuel leaned down and took the girl in his arms, one hand on her shoulder and one palm pressing and rubbing the back of her head, his voice low and gentle.
“Okay, you’re going to be an adult soon, and you’re still roaring like a baby, aren’t you ashamed?”
The little girl gasped and stretched her arms around his waist, “I want ice cream, chocolate, marshmallows and cake.”
Manuel Calligaris: “…”
“May I?”
“That much?”Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
“No?
Not that you can’t, didn’t you want to lose weight?”
“No diets today! I’m happy and I want to eat!
The girl’s voice was full of energy and joy, as if she had returned to the old happy days, and Manuel’s stone heart gradually softened, he gently replied, ” – Okay, let’s go get some food.”
On the same day, they had ice cream, marshmallows, cake, and he also bought her chocolate.
After Angelica had eaten one ice cream, she asked for another, but Manuel saw her and gently scolded her, “Ice cream is cold, don’t eat too much at once.”
“Huh?”
Angelica thought, “But I want to.”
There was an idea, she brought her ice cream to Manuel’s face: – Can I give it to you?”
He did not take it and Angelica tilted her head, “Is it because I bit into that ice cream? Do you despise me?
“Of course not,” Manuel took the ice cream, desperation wandering in his gaze. The girl beamed when he took her ice cream without hesitation or objection, but simply ate her ice cream.
Apparently he did not realize how ambiguous it was to eat her ice cream. In his eyes, it was nothing more than an ordinary ice cream that he would not allow her to eat, and she did not want to waste it.
So, he was thinking too much, Manuel mentally spat to himself.
He was so innocent that he could not think of her in those colorful terms.
Manuel didn’t particularly like ice cream, as a child he would ask how much ice cream Angelica eats. He tilted his head to bite into a slice, the soft, cold, sweet taste of ice cream he immediately swallowed.
The taste, it turns out, was not bad.
This was Manuel’s first thought when he tasted the ice cream.
“Delicious?” Angelica asked him innocently.
“Good” Manuel nodded his head.
Hearing him say yes, the little girl happily went back to eating her cake.
But she wanted to eat something else, so after eating half the cake, she left the other half, and when she saw that he had almost finished the ice cream, she pushed the rest of the cake in front of him.
“I can’t eat anymore, would you eat it for me and not waste it?”
Manuel curled his lips, “You can’t eat anymore and you want to eat something else?”
“Well, I can’t eat the cake anymore, but I can eat the rest, can’t I?”
He sighed helplessly, “Eat less.”
“Thank you !”
That day, Angelica ate many things she had not eaten for a long time, and when she could not finish eating, she immediately gave it to Manuel to take care of the leftovers.
Relations between them not only softened, but also seemed to warm up abruptly.
Of course, this was just Manuel’s idea .
On the way back, the girl was tiredly enjoying herself and was half leaning on his arm, her eyes closed, not really wanting to walk.
Seeing her like this, Manuel squatted down in front of her, ” ” Get on, I will carry you on my back.
His back was already familiar to Angelica and after a small moment of reserve, he jumped on her back and then deftly latched onto her neck.
“Thank you , can I get some sleep?”
“Sleep, I will wake you up when we get there.”
