Chapter 158
Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 158 Psychiatrist Expert Koen looked at Irene with satisfaction. Mr. Wade only had one granddaughter. If he wanted someone to inherit the family business in the future, it would definitely be Irene.
Ainsley looked at Serina beside her, who was only focusing on her dessert and filled her glass with juice.
Mr. Koen Gage hadnât seen Serina for a long time, so he was busy getting her something to eat and said politely, âI heard that Ms. Easton has been taking care of Ms. Easton, especially after the kidnapping. When she fell ill, it was you helping take care of her. The Gage family is very grateful to you, and if you want anything later, you just tell Manuel.â
These words sounded fine, but Ainsley was regarded as an outsider according to those words.
âMr. Koen Gage is being too polite.â
Irene stared at Ainsley carefully for a long time, and the meaning in her eyes was unclear.
It was just that when they were talking and laughing, she always had the attitude of a hostess as if she deliberately showed it to Ainsley.
âMs. Easton, the last time I saw you in the hospital, I wanted to invite you to dinner. Unfortunately, you were not feeling well. You are welcome this time. In order to celebrate Mr. Koen Gageâs discharge from the hospital, Manuel invited the chef from Pearl Hotel. I said that I would invite you to Pearl Hotel for dinner. This time it counts.â Irene said with a smile.
Ainsley nodded. No wonder she felt that the shrimp in front of her tasted so familiar, it should have been made by Roman.
It happened that Roman came over with a dish in person, âMr. Koen Gage, this is a new dish I came up with recently. Try it, and you are the only one who has this.â
Roman graciously put the plate in front of Mr. Koen, and opened the lid for him, âLook.â
The smell overflowed instantly, and the sound of sniffing sounded from time to time throughout the lobby..
He looked at everyoneâs reactions with satisfaction, looked at Manuel and Irene, and then, looked at Mr. Koen and Mr. Wade.
Wait!
She was here too?
Roman looked at Manuel suddenly and blinked twice quickly.
Manuel didnât respond but lowered his head to eat.
Roman was at a loss, wondering if Mr. Gage was crazy. Irene was here, and how could he bring Ainsley here?
With confusion in his mind, he took the lid away and went back to the kitchen.
Strange! It was really strange. What a strange thing this is!
The news between Irene and Manuel was uproarious, and it was true that he hadnât seen Mr. Gage and Ms. Easton together for a long time.
He felt that Mr. Gage would not change his mind, but there was no guarantee that Ms.
Easton would not be angry!
During the meal, Ainsley didnât take much food.
In the end, the Gage family and the Wade family were chatting and joking, so she took Serina to get out of there quickly.
But Irene stopped her, âMs. Easton, please come here.â
She turned around strangely, seeing Mr. Wade staring at Serina with concern.
âMs. Easton, Serina has been taken care of by you. Mr. Koen Gage is also very embarrassed. I met a psychiatrist from abroad and wanted to check on Serina. But she is only willing to contact you, so I have to take the liberty of asking you to stay here for al while.â Irene said.
Mr. Koen nodded, âIf you feel bored, the flowers in the back garden just bloomed, so your can go and enjoy them.â
Ainsley understood that the Gage family didnât want her to stay in the living room, and of course, she didnât want to stay here either.
She turned around and wanted to leave, but Serina held her hand, âDonât go.â
Ainsley froze on the spot. These were the only two words that Serina had said since the kidnapping.
âSerina, you finally start to talk.â
But no matter what she said later, Serina didnât reply anymore, as if the two words just now had never come out of her mouth. She just held onto Ainsleyâs hand stubbornly and refused to let go..
Irene came over and comforted her softly, âSerina, your grandpa is waiting for you over there, and he is very worried about you. Can you go over and say hello to him first?â
Others also persuaded Serina one after another, but she never responded. Her hand also pinched Ainsleyâs wrist, and she kept shaking her head.
Seeing Ireneâs eyes asking for help, Ainsley slowly pushed her hand away, âSerina, I wonât leave. I will come back after you go to see grandpa, just like at Matteoâs house, and Iâm just going for a walk.â
Surprisingly, Serina let go of her hand and followed Irene to the second floor.
Ainsley walked to the back garden alone. She understood Mr. Koen Gageâs worries because there was a lot of trouble on the Internet, and Serinaâs condition got worse after she was handed over to her, so it was normal to have doubts.
Besides, this was the Gage family. Mr. Koen Gage didnât have a good impression of her.
As the moonlight gradually darkened, Ainsley stood in the back garden waiting for Serina.
When she was bored, Manuel came over.
Her heart s*ipped a beat, thinking it had been a long time since the two of them met alone. She looked behind him, afraid that Irene would suddenly appear, just like before.
âShe didnât come,â Manuel said as if he had seen through her thoughts.
Ainsley frowned slightly. He could only come to talk to her because Irene didnât come over, right? So when Irene came, he had to leave?
âArenât you going to give me an explanation?â She heard her voice tremble.
His eyes dimmed, and he suddenly reached out to touch Ainsley.
She dodged back, dodging the outstretched hand, âTell me.â
âAisy, I canât tell you yet. I hope you can believe me.â He looked into her eyes with tenderness.
This pair of loving eyes, she hadnât seen for a long time, and it seemed that he had become another person in front of others.
âWhat is your relationship with her?â
âFriends.â He explained.
Ainsleyâs voice trembled, âWhat about us?â
âA couple.â
âOh.â Ainsley chuckled, âThen I would rather not have this relationship.â
What he called a friend relationship, was identified by the media as a golden coupe and a perfect match. What he called a couple was rumored to be a gold digger who was stalking, but he had no explanation.
âAisy.â
Ainsley lowered her head and took a deep breath. When she raised her eyes again, her Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
ï¤Chapter 157 Loveâs Change of Heart ï¤Chapter 872 eyes were icy cold, âMr. Gage, please call me Ainsley Easton.â
She didnât want to listen to him calling her Aisy but always left her side indifferently. It would be better if she didnât have him in the first place.
She turned around and was about to leave. Her eyes paled, and the starlight in her eyes was dim, as she walked in a daze.
âAisy.â He grabbed her wrist.
The warm palm touched her wrist was still hot, but her heart stopped beating faster.
It was a steady and flat beating, and her emotions slowly eased under the extremely rapid fluctuations and fell to the bottom.
âLet go of me.â She said, shaking off his hand.
Why did he say that he couldnât tell her yet?
Was it an explanation? Or did he want her to deceive herself?
Ainsley walked towards the corner where there was no one around, and she had asked herself why she had come for the third time.
She didnât want to come here if it wasnât for Serina.
On the second floor of the Gage house, Serina was brought into a room by Irene. It was a tearoom, and a middleâaged man was sitting there.
