Chapter 1676 Strange behavior of Manuel
At first, Manuel thought he heard wrong. Angelica is having dinner… with some guy?
“Manuel? Manuel?”
Manuel regained consciousness only after Elio shouted his name several times. Then he quickly looked at his watch and chased his lips.
– Where are you? a moment later, Manuel asked.
When Elio returned to the table, the waiter had already brought them cutlery and plates.
Angelica, maybe you will come here? Lorello said to her, pointing to a seat next to him.
It was a table for six people. At first, Angelica and Lorello sat together across from each other, but now Elio and Denis sat on either side of her, while Lorello was on her side completely alone.
At her words, Helium stood up, ” I am coming to you.”
When he switched to Lorello’s side, there was a space on Angelica’s side. Only for Manuel, Elio thought.
He was a very shrewd man. The last time Angelica came to visit Manuel, she noticed that there was something between them, and then she found out that they had been friends since childhood.
Looking at them, he guessed that not only did they have a friendly relationship, but they did not discuss it with anyone.
As for tonight, Elio decided to call Manuel to check his assumptions. When Manuel immediately asked him about the address, he realized that he was right about him and Angelica.
Angelica wanted to leave. Yet, today she had no intention of sitting in the company of three boys, who are also unfamiliar to her. She was homesick and thought to herself how nice it would be if Manuel was by her side right now.
His thoughts were interrupted by Elio, who, smiling, nodded to someone and called to the table.
Manuel, we are here.”
Manuel?
At first, Angelica thought she heard wrong. However, as she turned her head, she saw the slim figure of Manuel heading toward them.
When she sat down next to Angelica, she still carried a little cold from outside,
there was a shiver from her, but the heat from the pot of boiling water quickly warmed her. Then she put the phone on the table and Angelica unknowingly tensed up.
“You don’t mind if another person sits with us, do you?” Elio asked with a smirk as he looked at Lorello at his side.
Manuel’s unexpected appearance left Lorello puzzled.
The charisma emanating from Manuel immediately attracted his attention. When he sat confidently next to Angelica, Lorello immediately felt their invisible connection.
– Of course, I don’t mind. If you are all Angelica’s friends, then welcome to our table.
– This guy is not just his friend, Elio would casually say, he caught this intentionally, without even pointing out Manuel’s identity, leaving Lorello to guess for himself.
– Hi, I’m Lorello. I study with Angelica in the same school, Manuel greeted, nodding his head.
“Yes.” She answered him coldly. “Manuel.”
Saying this he looked at Angelica for a few seconds, then suddenly took a hand and pinched her cheek and said, “You’ve lost weight.”
Angelica felt tension throughout her body and looked at Manuel awkwardly, not knowing what to say to him, but he spoke again himself.
– Apparently you don’t eat much again while I’m not around, saying this, she
asked the waiter for a salad and put the plate in front of her. – You can’t just eat one meal , you also have to add fresh.
In fact, Angelica was already so full that she surely couldn’t eat such a large bowl of salad, so she shook her head, “I, I can’t eat that much.”
“You will give me the remains,” Manuel answered her directly.
Angelica was speechless and her face became all red , so she slowly lowered her eyes.
He felt that there was something wrong with Manuel today. It was as if there was a certain jealousy in him. Or even a sense of possessiveness.
No, it can’t be, Angelica thought to herself.
How can Manuel have such feelings for her? Lately, he has not even spent time with her. Angelica pressed her lips together and, in silence, began to eat her salad.
Elio and Denis looked at each other and then their eyes fell in unison on Lorello’s face, seeing that he still had the same expression on his face, which was quite admirable.
Elio and Denis felt guilty, so they talked to him, trying to defuse the atmosphere. During this time, Angelica ate vegetables, but in her soul she had a real storm of emotions. She had no appetite , however, worried that Manuel would really finish eating
behind her, she forced herself to eat.
Until, half a bowl of soup was placed in front of her.
“Have some soup and then get some rest.”
“What?” Before Angelica realized it, the bowl in front of her, only one-fifth of which she had eaten, was occupied by Manuel, and her face grew a few degrees warmer as she saw his thin lips protrude over the rim of the bowl to scoop up the salad.
She unconsciously ventilated herself with her hand and reached for the soup to drink it, only to choke on it again because she was in too much of a hurry.
“Ahem …”
The bowl in her hand was brought quickly and Manuel brought a handkerchief to her lips, wiping it for her, gently: ” -Why don’t you eat carefully? Manuel asked.
Angelica turned her gaze toward him. His eyes were as dark as a bottomless sea. However, when he looked at her, Angelica saw in them boundless love.
What is going on with him? Why is he acting so strangely today?
“Silly girl. No one is taking it away from you, just eat slowly and take your time,” saying this, Manuel touched the tip of her nose with his finger. “Did you hear me?”
Angelica was completely confused. She wanted to say something, but was silent. What is the problem, she thought.
Why was Manuel acting this way? He had never been so kind and affectionate before. It is because of the fact that….
Angelica remembered Lorello and suddenly understood everything. At first, blood rushed to her face, but then the redness on her cheeks disappeared abruptly, and she turned white, her heart beating even faster. Suddenly she stood up and everyone at the table stared at her.
– I have to go. I have to repeat something else at the school, saying this, she, without waiting for an answer, picked up her backpack and was about to go to the exit, but Manuel who was sitting on the side of her did not move, not letting her pass.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
The situation became more tense,
but Lorello’s face still expressed nothing.
“I just arrived and you leave immediately ?”
