Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

She unconsciously spoke to stop him.

Manuel, didn’t you say the blue one was Pacino’s?”

Manuel waved his hands a little before saying, “Yes.”

But despite the positive answer, he did not stop unpacking the purple gift. Angelica bit her lower lip and looked at him. A few seconds later, she looked at him again.

Manuel said, without fear, “Have you already opened it and changed it in half? First this one and then Pacino’s.”

Angelica did not answer, but blinked a little. A strange thought occurred to her: she thought Manuel was jealous. Is it because he asked to open that gift first, and only after his own? But if he was really jealous, maybe he would not have asked who to open the box first.

Angelica shook her head.

“- Why don’t you want to open my present first? Manuel whispered, peering into her eyes.

At those words, Angelica unconsciously shook her head.

“No, all right? Anyone can be opened first.

At first glance, it might seem that she didn’t care, but she actually wanted to open Manuel’s gift at the end, because surprises must be saved at the end. She never imagined that Manuel would want to unpack his first one.

Soon after, Manuel had opened his present.

“Ah, it’s beautiful!”

Angelica reached out her hand carefully and picked it up. “Did you mount it?”

Manuel’s gift to her was an antique garden shed; she remembered that the little girl had often repurposed such items in her circle of friends before, complaining that the little houses assembled by others were so beautiful, but most of them were sold online to do-it-yourselfers, and she liked looking at them but did not want to buy them.

So Manuel did some research in advance and bought it back.

“Yes.” he nodded his head gently, looking at her. Now convinced that she really liked him, he rejoiced.

“How long did it take you to collect it?

“Not much, just a few nights.”

A few nights …

Angelica immediately turned her head to look at Manuel and fixed her eyes on his face to see if he had dark circles under his eyes. Wouldn’t Manuel have guessed what she was doing?

– Not just these few nights. Do you think I left everything for the last moment? Manuel said with a smile.

It seemed the right thing to say. Knowing Manuel’s character, he never made such decisions at the last moment, and if he did, it was with his intelligence and abilities, he could cope with any difficulty.

“Happy adulthood.” Manuel stroked the back of her neck, “Do you like it?”

“I love it! Of course I love it!” Unable to let go of her hands, Angelica wanted to take a look at everything as soon as possible.

But they were standing in the street, and she was afraid of accidentally dropping it, devaluing Manuel’s efforts. She just whispered, Manuel, could you put it back in the box or take it to the back seat I don’t want it to break.

“If it breaks, I will pick up another one for you,” Manuel replied.

“Absolutely not.” Angelica immediately shook her head, “It’s a coming-of-age gift, it can’t be broken.”

“Not even if I put another one together for you?”

“It’s not the same, it means something different.”

Although Manuel only gave her one gift, Angelica was not at all upset.

At first, she thought birthday and adult gifts were different things, but after thinking carefully, she realized that these are the same day, and even if they were named differently, one gift was enough.

He was very happy.

“Put it away then, put it in the back seat of the car , and put it back up on the way back.”

“OK, all right.”

After that, Angelica put Manuel’s gift away and was about to go and open Pacino’s and the other two roommates’. But suddenly, Manuel pulled his wrist toward him and closed the trunk.

“Well, the rest of the gifts will be opened when we get home tonight, now let’s go to the amusement park.”

“But didn’t we just say we were going to open all the presents?”

Angelica was caught off guard by Manuel’s agility. He asked her very clearly whose present to open first, and when she said Pacino’s, he unpacked his own anyway. Well, I opened his first and that’s fine, but now I can’t open any more presents.

Isn’t everything so simple? Of course, these were only his assumptions; he dared not say it out loud as he followed Manuel into the amusement park.

Previously, he had dark memories in his head, but because of such a special gift, they have almost completely dissipated. Ultimately, however, he endured.

Manuel sensed this and, with a half smile, pulled her in.

“What are you going to do? I’ll stay with you all day and come back when you’ve had enough.”

Playing what?

Angelica thought to herself, “Anything, as long as it’s not the Ferris wheel she did last time.

“A carousel? Little girls love them.”

With that, Manuel went to buy a ticket.

Angelica was about to say that she was no longer a child when she realized that he had already finished buying tickets, and when he returned, Angelica discovered that he had bought only one.

“Manuel, why did you only buy one ticket?”

“Do I have to accompany you? It’s fun for small children.” Manuel stroked the back of her neck, “Go.”

“But …” Angelica grabbed Manuel’s hand and whispered, “In this year I have become an adult, I am no longer a child. ”

Manuel laughed slightly: ” – Consider this your last time as a child.

Last time as a child?

” – Next to me you will always be a small child, you will never grow up.”

After all, age is relative: although Angelica has become an adult, Manuel has also grown up. So it makes no sense to scold him for thinking she was a child.

At first, Angelica felt extraordinary love in these words. Blushing, she took the ticket and stood in line. When it was her turn to ride the carousel, she noticed only the children and their parents around her. She was a little embarrassed and remembered Manuel’s words, “Next to me you will always be a little child and you will never grow up.”Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

Thinking about it, for some reason it seemed to her that something was wrong. He once made her a promise and she was looking forward to coming of age. But now, going through what he said in her mind, did she change her mind?

Concerned about this, Angelica wanted to get off the merry-go-round, but it was still turning, so she had to wait. As soon as the merry-go-round stopped, Angelica rushed directly to Manuel.

Manuel, what did the words you just said mean? He asked angrily.
