Chapter 1661 Engagement
Angelica waited, but Manuel remained silent and did not move. He felt his request was too bold. Then Angelica’s hand, with which she held Manuel’s sleeve, slowly slipped away, as if she had lost her power. Her eyes dropped behind her hand. There were still a few shiny tears on her voluminous, long lashes. Okay. That was really asking too much, Angelica thought.
However, when his hand fell to its lowest point, it suddenly touched Manuel’s extended palm, his large hand was so warm that it immediately enveloped the girl’s hand in an instant.
She was taken aback and mechanically raised her head. Manuel’s handsome face was growing larger and larger in her eyes; as a result, only his chin was visible to her. Angelica felt a warm, gentle touch on her forehead.
It seemed as if something had exploded in her head, so that she was left with nothing but a void; she could not react in any way, only numb she stopped, as if she had been immobilized.
Manuel’s thin lips did not linger long, it was a light touch, as pure as if a dragonfly had touched water. The kiss was with notes of inexperience; he pulled away from Angelica immediately.
And then she squeezed Angelica’s small hand, her voice dark, “Satisfied now?”NôvelDrama.Org content.
Angelica did not respond, still remaining in her stunned place.
After a few moments, Manuel saw that her eyes were still wide open and staring at him. He reached out and touched her nose, “Are you stupid? Didn’t you ask me to kiss you?”
From this affectionate touch, Angelica gradually began to recover. She mechanically bit her lower lip, calmed down and then began to think.
She was the one who asked him to kiss her, but he disagreed. Who knew he was suddenly …
Angelica’s heart beat faster at this point. After realizing what had happened, a slight blush gradually flooded Angelica’s cheeks, ears and neck. Finally, she pushed Manuel’s hand away and ran away in shame.
Manuel stopped and looked at the palm left by her. After a while, he reached out and touched her lips. It seemed that her warmth and fragrance were still on them. After a while, Manuel smiled.
If he had known he could get rid of it with a kiss to the forehead, would he have hesitated?
After a few moments, Manuel thought of something, got up, walked to his door and knocked. “Breakfast is not over yet.”
There was silence in the room, no one answered. Manuel said again, “Angelica?”
“I’ve eaten enough!” Angelica’s voice sounded a little off.
Manuel sensed that she was too shy to get under the covers, and that she had eaten a lot this morning, so he did not rush her, but said, “- Get ready, we will be home soon.”
She had not returned all night, and now she had to be sent home to give her family an explanation.
At this point, Manuel lost his appetite, but he ordered so much food, and if he didn’t eat it, he would have to throw it away. So he sat down again and finished with the rest, then collected the packages and threw them in the trash.
More than half an hour had passed and Angelica had not yet left, so Manuel went to knock on her door again.
“Angelica, are you finished?”
“Yes, just a moment.”
Angelica answered, and only after a moment opened the door and left the room, then went to the bathroom and turned on the faucet, getting fresh water and dabbing her face.
She did not understand what was going on, but the kiss on her forehead made her face still red.
She stroked her face several times and took deep breaths, and only after a while did Angelica notice that the heat on her face had diminished.
Just as Manuel stood outside the door, seeing her come out with her forehead a little wet from her broken hair, a smile flashed in his inky eyes, “Is it better?”
Angelica did not say a word and went to the bedroom to pack and then left.
“I’m ready, let’s go.”
“Good.”
After that Manuel took Angelica and left the hotel.
Since she had not returned all night, Manuel naturally brought Angelica home first, but on the way he received a call from his mother.
“Manuel, where are you now? Are you on your way home?
“Yes.” Manuel glanced at the road before nodding, “On the way back.”
“Where are you going?”
Manuel looked at Angelica sitting in the passenger seat and whispered, am I taking Angelica to her home?”
Where, I sent her parents bring
Angelica to join us.
Manuel: “?”
“What does it mean?”
“What do you mean what?” Serena sneered at the other end of the line, ” Last night you took Angelica and didn’t come back, I have to help you fix everything.
Hearing this, Manuel slowly frowns, but since Angelica was with him, he could not directly ask about everything.
A store appeared on the side of the road, and Manuel stopped the car and said to Angelica: – I’ll go buy some water, wait in the car.”
“All right.”
In fact, Angelica was still thinking about that kiss on her forehead, so she did not really care about what was happening around her. When Manuel said he was going to buy water, she had no doubts; she obediently waited for him.
Bang!
Getting out of the car, Manuel entered the store, took out his cell phone and called his mother again.
– Hey, can’t you answer for what you did? Are you afraid to tell me everything in front of Angelica?
Although Manuel was already an adult, he still treated Serena as a child, but now he was embarrassed to call her mom. Now he became quite sober and modest in expressing his feelings.
– What? What did I do?
– What did he do? Don’t you understand? Do you want your mother to tell you? Angelica only came of age yesterday, so you took her out for the whole night.”
Manuel’s breath quickened a bit: “That’s because there was heavy rain last night and many places were flooded.”
– So what? Who cares about your excuses? All anyone knows is that you took her and spent the night with her. Sure, you’re a guy, you might not care. But Angelica? You want her to be like you, so she doesn’t care? Do you???
Manuel: “I …”
“Well, stop talking about it and hurry up and bring it back.”
– What about after we come back? Manuel had a strange premonition.
– Let’s talk to you about engagement. Once you are engaged, you can spend as much time as you want together. What’s the problem?
Hearing this, Manuel frowned furiously.
She has just come of age, and had not even entered college yet. Engagement?
