Chapter 167

Chapter 167 Revisiting the Pearl Hotel “Manuel, Manuel cut a small piece of steak and put it on his plate when he heard her ask, what are you thinking? Don’t you like Ainsley very much? Then why do you accompany Irene every day?”

Although she was in the autistic stage some time ago, she still remembered some pictures.

Manuel’s pupils shrank slightly, “Serina, do you recognize who he is? Go back and show grandpa later. He is very worried about you.”

Serina cried anxiously, “Manuel, did you hear that?”

“Serina, you don’t need to understand the affairs between adults,” Manuel said in a deep voice.

Serina didn’t think so. She sat down and said to Roman, “Go and do your work first.”

When there were only the two of them, Serina asked, “Manuel, did Ainsley do something wrong?”

“She didn’t do anything.”

“Then why did you break up!” She demanded.

Manuel shook his head and denied it, “I didn’t say we want to break up. I won’t break up with her.”

Serina was stunned and said again, “Then why buy colored diamonds for other women? And why are you getting so close to Irene? Aren’t you afraid that Ainsley will be jealous?”

Manuel’s eyes dimmed a bit, “Serina, don’t think about it so much for now. I won’t break up with Ainsley, and the time for this has not come yet.

Serina looked at her brother Originally high-spirited, he looked at her with tired eyes. She suddenly felt that maybe he really had some difficulties.

What might be the reason?

She didn’t want to see Ainsley’s current mien. She looked unhappy with blank eyes.

“But Manuel, Ainsley is not happy at all.”

“I know.” Manuel put down the knife and fork.

Serina couldn’t understand even more. Why did things like feelings have to be timed?

The day after Serina woke up, Ainsley received an email from the Decker Contest. She won the first prize in her last defense and advanced to the next round of the contest.

Raymond knew this immediately and quickly sent three congratulatory messages to the teachers’ group at the University of Washington. Professor Wade was also very happy. Ainsley won a great honor for them by being the first student of their school to attend. the Decker Contest.

After being promoted, she needed to go abroad to participate in the new round of the contest. This time she had to conduct a one-month research, writing the paper and its proposal in a closed environment.

This would be an influential contest in the psychology circle. At that time, she would see many famous psychologists and compete with them on the same stage.

Fortunately, Serina’s condition had stabilized now. Although the shadow left before had not completely dissipated, she would have no problems in the short term.

During this period of time, she had been in a bad mood, and she had to take this opportunity to change the environment and relax.

At least away from Seattle and Manuel.

After hearing the news, Matteo gave her full support and asked his friend to take care of her.

Before the itinerary was settled, a letter from the committee of the Decker Contest arrived. This letter from across the ocean contained Decker Contest’s certificate and an air ticket.

There was no need for Ainsley to make arrangements at all. Decker’s staff had booked a flight ticket and hotel for her, and she just needed to pack her luggage and go there.

The day before she left, she went to the Pearl Hotel.

She only knew how popular Roman was when she picked up the chef, and it was Manuel who could choose him with supremacy.

After she chose a chef at random, the waiter brought over a menu with the chef’s specialty dishes on it.

She chose a few at random and looked at a table in the corner, which was blocked by a screen and separated from the hall.

That was where Manuel was used to sitting. If he came to eat, The Pearl Hotel would vacate this seat for him in advance.

And now the seat was vacant, but he hadn’t come yet.

When the dishes were half served, Manuel came.

The waiter didn’t ask redundant questions, and the chief was Roman, who knew the dishes he often ate.

Ainsley’s eyes turned to him, but she really couldn’t ignore the other person’s figure.

Irene sat down with Manuel, and the two talked and laughed, which made her eyes.

squint.

She picked up a piece of fish and found it incipient.

When Roman came out with the dishes, he saw Manuel with Irene. He glanced around, and her pupils shrank sharply.

“Ahem, Mr. Gage, it’s delicious.” He said in a satirical way.

Irene covered her mouth and snickered, “Roman, why are you so weird today?”

“It’s okay. I have a sore throat.” He explained.

He quickly put the dish in front of Irene, “Ms. Wade, try this.”

The moment Irene lowered her head, he looked at Manuel again and cursed inwardly.

“You *** Ms. Easton has chased you here!”

He winked profusely and looked in Ainsley’s direction.

Finally, Manuel turned around.

Roman sneaked away in a hurry. It was so embarrassing!

Ainsley didn’t expect him to turn his head back suddenly. The Pearl Hotel’s lobby was full of guests, but the noises stopped in her ears instantly, and her gentle eyes were glowing with doubt at this moment.

Just casting a glance like this, she quickly lowered her head and ate her meal bit by bit, her eyes turning red.

“Manuel?”

“Manuel!”

Irene pushed Manuel, and he came back to his senses.

He didn’t expect to see Ainsley here. She must have come here on purpose.

Irene also saw Ainsley, “Manuel, what a coincidence today to see Ms. Easton. Why don’t we let her eat with us?”

“She has already ordered, so don’t disturb her,” Manuel said in a deep voice.

“Thanks to Ms. Easton, Serina’s condition is stable now. We should treat her to show our gratitude. Does Manuel not like her? Why do you keep avoiding her?” Irene asked thoughtfully.

Manuel pursed his lips, “No.”

“So you like her? Manuel likes her?” Irene smiled lightly as if she were asking a common question, but there was an undercurrent in her eyes.

Manuel unconsciously held the knife and fork tighter. His eyes were deep and his lips parted slightly, “I don’t like her, nor do I dislike her.”

He just felt his heart **a beat. He didn’t like Ainsley? How was it possible?

Irene laughed out loud, “Since this is the case, we should call her over.”

Before Manuel could speak, she had already rushed over and walked straight to Ainsley.

“Ms. Easton, are you eating alone?”

Ainsley was confused, and she nodded slightly.

Irene pointed in the direction of Manuel, “Why don’t you eat with us? I have been planning to treat you, but I haven’t found a proper chance. It’s time we ate together. Roman is the most reputed chef of the Pearl Hotel, and he happens to be our chef.”

“No, thank you.” She subconsciously refused.

“Ms. Easton, you’ve contributed a lot to the recovery of Serina. Manuel also wants to thank you in person. You won’t turn him down coldly, right?”

Irene looked at Ainsley oppressively.

Her manners showed her insistence that Ainsley must come over.

Ainsley glanced at Manuel, thinking that maybe Irene had invited her with Manuel’s consent.

At the dinner table, Manuel and Irene sat facing each other, and Ainsley sat beside Irene.
