Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Manuel stretched out the last words of his speech, because of this Angelica blushed. After all, she had just matured; her sentimentality did not allow her to bear such a tone.

Embarrassed, she removed her hand, looked away, not daring to return to this conversation. Manuel realized what he had done, however, hiding his emotions, he preferred to start the car.

“Where do you want to go today?”

This has been the case since childhood: wherever they went, or whatever they would eat, Manuel always asked Angelica. Angelica felt selfish, because he also has his own desires, and he should express them.

Now she was very confused, Manuel touched her small hand and asked the question again. His heart was beating at an incredible speed, and his mind was foggy, he said only in response, “Everywhere.”

Manuel looked at her and asked no more questions, after all, the girl had cried so much , and he was in such a hurry to get her so that she would not be lonely. It pained him to look at her. He did not want to catch her off guard, so he parked the car with the engine off for a while , and when he saw that she had calmed down, he finally approached her.

So Manuel asked no more questions, tried to talk to Angelica about distant topics, not allowing her to dive back into the pool of her thoughts.

“-You still haven’t asked what I’m giving you for this day of adulthood?”

– A gift? I almost forgot! But besides coming of age, it’s also my birthday, so have you prepared two presents? Angelica replied.

In past years, he has always received gifts from him; this year should be no exception.

– Two gifts? Manuel smiled, “Why is the child so greedy?” Aren’t the ceremony and your birthday on the same day?

– Same day? Manuel, my birthday is every year, and the graduation ceremony is once in a lifetime! Didn’t you prepare two presents?

Manuel did not admit or deny, but said in a semi-flirtatious tone, “I thought a gift would be enough since the two shows were combined.”

“You are so bad!” He burst into flames

After these words, the smile from Manuel’s face disappeared.

“Okay, I’m just kidding you’re right, the birthday and the ceremony are on the same day, the which everyone gives one gift.”

After that, Angelica seemed to remember something, “By the way, why didn’t Pacino come today?”

She was a little surprised and a little sorry, after all, she and Pacino got along quite well and she had invited him earlier when Pacino promised he would come.

Hearing his friend’s name, Manuel smiled slightly and said, “He had other things to do and asked me to bring you a gift.”

What other things? What is so challenging? Graduation ceremony is celebrated once in a lifetime, and he didn’t even come for a minute. I’m sorry, Angelica replied.

It is unfortunate, of course, it is unfortunate, but that is how circumstances developed.

– Fortunately, you are there next to me-she said this with sadness, however, she was really glad he was here.

Hearing this, Manuel winced and laughed softly, ” You said it as if I were useless. Fortunately?

“That’s not what I meant.”

On the road, their conversations would end in arguments: if Manuel said one sentence, Angelica would answer him ten, and vice versa.

As soon as Angelica finished the conversation, Manuel provoked her again on this topic. Eventually they remained silent until the car entered the playground.

Seeing the place, Angelica could not believe her eyes-this is the platform where she came before, a cloud of memories still hovered over her.

She was sitting on the slide that day and saw him with other girls. Thinking about it, Angelica couldn’t help but smile.

– Let’s go play, Manuel said not a word about what had happened last time. There was no reason for Angelica to refuse, and since she was the one who had said it was okay, she silently followed Manuel as he unbuckled his seat belt and got out of the car with him.

“Wait.”

Before entering, Manuel opened the trunk and said to her, ” -First come and open your ceremonial gift.

At the word “gifts,” Angelica hesitated, and then abruptly ran to Manuel. Seeing some gift boxes, she wondered: – Why are there so many?”

“The other two are from the roommates you met earlier.”

Angelica recalled that before she started her studies, she actually met the two boys. Do they still remember her? It has been so long, their relationship is not close, and she has become very embarrassed.

“How can I thank them?” Angelica asked, biting her lower lip slightly.

– Thank you for what? They long for your beauty and so they congratulated you on your coming of age. Don’t worry about them.

Angelica looked at him, her expression worried. What are you talking about? Do you desire her beauty?

“Open your present, which one do you want to open first?” Manuel asked

Angelica thought for a moment and then said, “Let’s open Pacino’s first.”

Since he did not come, he wanted to at least see the gift from him.

– Are you sure? Manuel squints his eyes.

“Yes.” Angelica nodded, completely unaware of the change in his expression, and also asked, ” Manuel, which one of these gifts is Pacino’s is which one is yours?”

“The blue from him, and the purple from me.”Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.

Manuel saw Angelica’s gaze shift from the purple box to the blue one, waiting impatiently for it to be opened. Manuel froze, Angelica turned to him and asked:

“Manuel?”

Angelica waited anxiously for him to open Pacino’s gift, but when Manuel’s hand came, it went straight to the purple box.

Angelica: “???”
