Chapter 1663 Just a suggestion.
Manuel brought Angelica back to the Rossi family.
It was just as Jofo and Fiona were returning from outside and Angelica got out of the car just in time to meet them.
“Dad, Mom, where have you been at this time in the morning?”
The gentlemen of the Rossi family and Manuel looked at each other, both tacitly saying nothing, and Fiona stepped forward and put her arm around Angelica.
“I went out on an errand, it rained suddenly and heavily last night, didn’t you get wet?”
Angelica shook her head, ” No, during the downpour, Manuel and I sat in a restaurant and waited for the rain to stop.
“This is good, you would have caught a cold or fever if you got wet.”
Fiona looked at Manuel, “Thank you Manuel, you had a lot of trouble with this girl yesterday, didn’t you?”C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
Manuel smiled slightly, ” No problem! I’ve been used to it for a long time! And, besides, yesterday was his birthday.”
“Have you had breakfast yet? Come inside, I’ll have the cook make breakfast for you.”
When she heard breakfast, Angelica immediately shook her head, “I can’t eat, Mom, I already had breakfast.”
“Well, Aunt Fiona, Uncle Jofo, I have other things to do, so I’m going back first.”
“Don’t you want to sit down for a while? You’ve just arrived …”
Angelica pulled Fiona’s sleeve and whispered, ” She spent the day with me yesterday, I guess there are other things to take care of today.”
Look at this protective, Fiona sighed inwardly.
It is said that girls are extroverts, and it seems that this is true; this girl has not yet married him and is already taking care of him.
But as a woman, Fiona could understand.
“OK, OK, I know you’re busy, so Manuel hurry up and come back, be careful on the way.”
“Well, uncle , aunt, I’ll go first.”
Only after they had left did Fiona put her arm around her daughter and lowered her voice, “Where did you go last night? Tell me honestly, did you spend the night together or?”
Angelica: “Mom! What are you talking about? He and I slept in different rooms!
“Different rooms? You didn’t even have your ID card with you when you left yesterday, which hotel gives you two rooms?”
“Mom!” Angelica started to get angry, – Manuel is not like that at all, don’t you understand? Besides, we went to our own hotel yesterday, we didn’t need ID cards at all.”
Fiona was stunned: ” in our company’s hotel?”
“Yes mom, have you forgotten that our family is in the hotel business?”
Fiona was speechless: “What hotel?”
Angelica said the place and Jofo approached, “So this is the hotel you went to last night?”
“Yes.”
“Angelica,” said the father, rubbing his hands nervously, “how do you like Manuel? Do you see the future with him?
As soon as Angelica blushed at the question asked, Fiona slapped Jofo’s forehead with the palm of her hand: What are you asking? Even you are already talking nonsense about your daughter’s feelings. You are the father and she is your daughter. Wouldn’t you be embarrassed if you were in her shoes?
Angelica’s father was a little irritated by Fiona’s slap and rubbed his head, not daring to speak.
Being married to a strict woman was not an easy ordeal.
Angelica looked at her father and felt a little sorry for him as well, but she still could not answer his question.
Fiona ruthlessly solved the problem with her husband and turned to Angelica with a smile.
” Daughter, do not say anything to your father, tell me. How do you like Manuel? How do you feel about him? Even though you came of age yesterday, I still want to ask you something. After all, you are no longer a child. You already have a lot to understand, okay?
Angelica was embarrassed. She didn’t quite understand what her mother meant.
Mom, what’s going on? Why do you ask?
In the end, Angelica never hid the fact that she liked Manuel. Why do her parents ask her these questions? Manuel acts very reserved with her. He told her that they would discuss everything after she turned 18.
And lo and behold, she turned 18, and he didn’t even try to kiss her.
Angelica was aware that she liked Manuel. But she did not know how he felt about her.
Mother, you are not just asking. I always want to ask you many questions, because you understand a lot from life.
These words gave Fiona pause. She waved her hand, inviting her husband into the house, and then took Angelica by the hand and led her into the garden.
“You grew up with Manuel, he’s been in your eyes and in your head for as long as you can remember, and he’s so good, there’s nothing wrong with you liking him. But have you ever tried to look around and pay attention to other kids?
Fiona continued seriously, “Mother knows that you like Manuel now, but have you ever thought that maybe because you haven’t had any contact with other boys, you subconsciously think that he is the one you like? If you go out with other boys, you will realize that you are just used to him. You think of him as your older brother, but do you have feelings for him as a man?
“Mom …”
“Mother just wants you to look around. I don’t want you to regret it later.
Angelica, however, wrinkled her nose and said seriously, “But Mom, I’ve had contact with other boys, too.”
” What are you saying? Who were they?
” Pacino, Brillo and Titian, they are all boys.”
But she didn’t think she would like any of these guys-the only one was Manuel. None of them could compare to him.
“Silly girl, this is because you all grew up together, well, not really together, but you’ve known them since you were little, maybe you try to meet boys at school? There are a lot of good boys out there, do you try?”
Angelica shook her head, “I don’t even want to try. Although we didn’t grow up together, none of them are close to me in spirit. Only Manuel. Why do you all think I don’t understand anything?
Is it because I’m small or because I’m not dating?
“Angelica, it’s just …”
“Mom I know you’re doing this for my own good, but I’m very firm in my thoughts, I don’t want to meet other boys and I don’t want to try with other boys. I may be young, but I really know what I want for myself.”
Fiona had to change her tone when she got a little emotional: “Don’t get upset, mom is just giving you advice, if you think mom’s advice is not right, don’t follow it.”
Angelica breathed a sigh of relief, “Thank you, Mom.”
