Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 208 She Doesn’t Want to See Me Again

The treasure boxes on the top floor were much better than the ones downstairs. These antiques had to be carefully taken care of since they were all treasures and could be destroyed by the slightest mistake. Unlike the ones downstairs, those on the upper floor were real antiques. They were kept in glass cases with the names and history of the antiques affixed to them.

Ainsley and Manuel browsed on the top floor for a long time and finally bought an antique.

After leaving, Ainsley looked at Manuel in surprise for a long time. “Why are you helping me?”

“I’m helping both your family and myself.” Manuel’s eyes were deep and gloomy.

Ainsley did not ask much. She figured that it had things to do with profits,

It was the fact that the Wade family and the Gage family went way back. However, it didn’t mean Manuel was happy to see the Wade family surpass the Gage family.

After sending Ainsley home, Manuel returned home as well.

Roman had been restless all day in Pearl Hotel. Lainey’s appearance kept emerging in his mind.

He couldn’t remember what had happened at his place that night. Yet he could remember Lainey’s slightly flushed face, which was alluring and charming.

“Roman, why are you in a daze?” Manuel asked.

Roman came back to his senses and handed the soup in his hands to Manuel. “I’m not. I wasn’t thinking about anything.”

Manuel looked at Roman doubtfully and thought, I didn’t ask you anything, did I?

Manuel pulled a solemn face, and right now, he didn’t have time to probe further into Roman’s matter. Ainsley’s cold face occupied Manuel’s mind. Although she had been less hostile to him after they went to Ink Garden, what he wanted was far more than that.

Manuel took the soup and left, while Roman slumped in a chair. Roman had been absent minded all day today. He thought, perhaps I’ve been too bored, and after that night with Lainey, I couldn’t get over her.

This is not normal. In all my years, I’ve never missed a woman this much. I can’t stop thinking about her.

Late at night, Roman went to a club to get drunk again.

His friends were all in the dance pool, swaying, and the neon lights were constantly spinning. After drinking a few glasses of wine, he felt dizzy already.
