Chapter 1677 It’s a Lifetime
Manuel took Angelica by the wrist and looked into her face.
“Have you had enough to eat?”
– Yes. I have to go-Angelica tried to free her hand, but Manuel held it tight, and still did not let it leave the table, then turned to Denis, who was sitting on the other side. I’m sorry, I can pass.”
Although he and Manuel were roommates, Denis did not dare to follow Manuel’s example and was soon on his feet.
Angelica quickly left and Denis scratched the back of his head with an apologetic look on his face, “Sorry Manuel, Angelica she …”
He had not yet had time to explain, and Manuel had already gotten up to follow Angelica. The situation seemed extremely strange.
Elio coughed slightly and laughed dryly, “Well, Manuel is probably sending the girl back to school, let’s eat first and leave them alone.”
Lorello remained calm and followed the duo as they continued to eat their dinner, without saying a word about Angelica and Manuel.
Angelica ran out of the café with a pale face. At first, she went at a brisk pace, but then she switched to running. Her eyes were covered with a veil and her heart was beating furiously.
She did not notice the car and ran straight down the road. Suddenly, someone forcibly stopped her by pulling her shoulder, and then she fell right into the arms of her rescuer.
Angelica crashed into a warm and generous embrace, followed by a low reproachful voice: “-Are you tired of living? You’re running in the middle of the road!
Angelica could no longer hold back
and suddenly poured out all her emotions.
“Leave me alone, let me go – Angelica tried hard to escape. Let me go!
However, all Angelica’s attempts to escape from Manuel’s embrace were
in vain, as he squeezed her hands tighter. Suddenly, she was in so much pain that tears even appeared in her eyes.
-Leave me alone! I don’t need your care. Just let me go.
– If I don’t take care of you, then who? It is so dangerous on the roads and you are running headlong. What happens if you get hit by a car? Manuel said helplessly, hugging her.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
– So what? Even then, I don’t need your care, said Angelica sarcastically on emotion, still trying to push him away. – If you were hit by a car, you would finally be able to be calm, no one would harass you.
Hearing this, Manuel frowns.
-Why do you say that?
-Am I telling a lie? Looking at Manuel carefully, he said. – Why did you come today? I had a quiet dinner with a schoolmate, and you came especially to keep us company?
– Do you blame me for coming?
Manuel squints his eyes. – You had so much fun together, and I came and broke your romance?
“That’s right!” Angelica nodded and gritted her teeth, ” We just sat down and had dinner, and it’s fine when your roommates joined us. But why did they call you? I don’t want to see you at all!”
Did he think she didn’t understand why he was doing all this?
Angelica found his behavior strange.
Lately, he ignored her and did not believe her feelings, so she resigned herself. However, today he suddenly came to the bar and gave Lorello a whole performance.
Finished eating the salad for her, he wiped her mouth…. Such manners…
Remembering this, Angelica immediately became angry.
By these actions, he actually offended her feelings.
Manuel laughed at her words, but his smile was cold and his brow was tilted, “Don’t you want to see me? Who was it that said you liked me before? I was forbidden to have a girlfriend and now you don’t want to see me?”
“So what?” Angelica struggled to remain resolute in her voice without showing weakness. – That was before. And now it’s different. Now I don’t want to see you.
– So you have feelings for that guy in the bar?
“Exactly!”
“Do you want to be with him?”
“Exactly!”
– So now you are in love with him? Manuel asked, loosening his hand, with which he held Angelica.
Angelica felt panic in her soul, but the words had already been spoken. What would it be like if she took back her words?
– Yes, you are right! She replied after some silence.
She expected him to let her go completely after those words, but he smiled sweetly and continued to hold her in his arms.
– Really? I thought I heard uncertainty in your words. Are you lying to me?
– Who is lying? Me, Angelica’s face turned white.
Yes, you. We hadn’t seen each other for a few months, and suddenly you started treating me very differently. You said you liked me, but you fell in love with someone else. You are trying to break my heart , Manuel said with desperation in his voice, sighing heavily.
Break your heart ? Angelica thought she had misheard his words. Why should she say that? She knew he had the same thoughts about her as everyone else. He did not believe that she was really in love with him.
-How does this hurt your soul? Angelica said, lowering her eyes. You think, just like everyone else, that I’m still small and don’t understand my own feelings.
You all think that I still do not understand what love is. And since you have such an opinion about me, why do you feel so sad?
– Do you think you are not hurting me with your words?
Angelica got a little angry, “So tell me, what are you sad about? You don’t believe me and now you say you’re sad, aren’t you being funny?”
Manuel saw that Angelica was really angry. He realized that this time he would not be able to avoid this conversation again. If he doesn’t explain everything to her now, then she might start dating that boy to spite him.
At this thought, Manuel half-closed his lips and whispered, ” I was afraid you would regret it.”
– About what?”
“Do you know what my view of the relationship is?”
– And which one? – asking this question Angelica suddenly realized that Manuel had dragged her into this conversation about feelings, and she tried to take back her words. – I don’t want to know.
Manuel paid no attention to her last sentence and continued.
– I want to be with one person together forever. Spend the rest of our lives until death do us part.
From these words, Angelica froze. Does Manuel want to live his whole life with one person?
– If we start dating, and then suddenly you regret it, then I will not let you go. Therefore, you must be completely confident in your feelings for me …
“Who says I didn’t understand my emotions? Angelica interrupted him indignantly. ‘I have no doubt that I am in love with you and I want to spend my whole life only with you.
Now Manuel is stunned. He looked at Angelica in front of him. She was still the same irritable child he had known all his life, but now something about her had changed.
Her face had become so beautiful and her eyes were still crystal clear. And now she looked at him with a serious look and said that she wanted to spend her whole life with him.
– Have you thought it through? Manuel asked in a trembling voice.
