Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 13 Can You Give Me a Ride?
Kaliyah quickly stopped Lindsay. âMom, no matter what, Ms. Easton is Casonâs ex-wife. It isnât appropriate to drive her away. Anyway, our house has spare rooms. If there are no other ways, we can let Ms. Easton stay.â
After hearing this, the security guard looked at the plainly-dressed Ainsley with a bit of disdain.
He thought that a woman like her probably wouldnât want to leave such a rich and powerful family.
Ainsley ignored the other peopleâs expressions. She refused, âNo need.â
She pulled her luggage and left, but the sky suddenly darkened and it started to rain.
She was so unlucky today.
Ainsley looked at her phone. There was only 2% battery left. She couldnât help but laugh at herself.
There were trees all around, and there was no place to hide from the rain. She was wet all over, and she looked particularly embarrassed in the heavy rain.
Suddenly, a Cayenne stopped beside her. The man held a black umbrella and walked towards her. The umbrella kept the rain out. Manuel smiled calmly and looked at Ainsley, who was in a sorry state. âMs. Easton, what a coincidence!â
For any girl who was caught in such heavy rain, if such a handsome man came gracefully with ant umbrella, no one would not be moved.
However, Ainsleyâs heart only ***a beat. She said helplessly, âYes. What a coincidence! Mr. Gage, can I possibly ask you to give me a ride?â
Manuel did not reply directly. His dark eyes swept over her and he said gently, âGet in the car first.â
Inside the car, it was warm. After getting in the car, Ainsley felt less cold. Manuel handed her a towel and then lowered his head to read his document, letting her wipe the water on her body.
Ainsley took over the towel and wiped the rain on her head, but she could not help but be lost in thought.
Manuel was so gentle and considerate. Ainsley could see that he had a good upbringing.
She had only met him a few times, but every time he helped her out, he was so gentle that it made her feel like she was bathing in the spring breeze.
She wondered, did he do it so that I can treat his sister?
She was lost in her thoughts for a moment. The car slowly stopped in front of an apartment.
Manuelâs low and pleasant voice sounded, âItâs raining heavily outside and youâre wet all over. You should change your clothes before going back.â
As soon as Ainsley raised her head, she met Manuelâs gentle and thoughtful gaze. She held back. the urge to refuse and slowly nodded.
The apartment was not far from the Baldryâs mansion. Perhaps that was why he had brought her here.
The door was pushed open. The colors in the room were unexpectedly bright. White clouds floated on the blue wallpaper, making Ainsleyâs mood become better.
Ainsley blinked and could not believe that this was Manuelâs home.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, a middle-aged woman came out and greeted warmly, âMr. Gage, you have come! Who is this young lady?â
âDixie, this is my friend Ainsley. She will take a bath here and change her clothes.â
Dixie Tudor quickly took out a pair of female slippers. âCome in quickly. I will find a dress for her and cook some soup for you.â
Manuel nodded at Dixie and said gently, âThis is my sister Serinaâs house. She is studying at University of Washington. This place is close to the university. Dixie is here to take care of her.â
Ainsley understood. At this time, Manuelâs phone rang. âI need to answer the phone.â
He turned and walked to the French window. Ainsleyâs eyes fell on the painting on the wall.
The painting had a healing effect. Autumn leaves fell and the light was warm. The swing in the courtyard rose to the air. The two girls in the painting held hands and smiled brightly.
Ainsley unconsciously brushed her fingers across the painting. Manuelâs low voice came from behind her. âThis is drawn by my sister.â
She turned around. Manuelâs eyes became deep. They were so deep that they made Ainsley obsessed. However, in an instant, the eyes became clear and calm. They were so beautiful.

âYes.â Manuel nodded, âShe drew this when she was fourteen. She was not sick at that time.â
âThen who is the other girl?â
