Chapter 1622 – Emotions Change
He pulled out the hairpin and looked at it, and sure enough, it was broken.
I wonder if it can still be repaired?
As soon as Pacino saw this hairpin, he immediately thought that it was very beautiful, and he would certainly go to her. He was so happy about it that he did not expect that when he arrived, his heart would be covered with ice.
When Angelica had finished her run, Pacino forced a smile and pulled out a towel to dry her off.
“You’re tired, have some water.”
He took the thermos and handed it to Angelica.
Angelica took a sip, it was just the right temperature and then broke out in a smile, “Thank you Pacino.”
“Thanks for nothing, take the thermos, you are sweating too much, you need to drink more.”
“Yes.”
Angelica thought of something and suddenly asked, ” Pacino, is Manuel still very busy these days?”
“I don’t think he’s too busy.”
“Oh.”
Angelica said no more.
“What’s wrong? You and Manuel haven’t seen each other for a long time, have you?”
“Yes.”
“Why don’t Manuel and I pick you up tomorrow, Saturday, and go for a hike?”
“No no.” Angelica shook her head, quickly refusing:
“No.”
Why? Does this have anything to do with me? – Seeing how she hastily rejected his offer, Pacino thought she had some personal reasons for it,-Do you still doubt that she told you the truth?
“No, I believe you, I just …”
His battle to lose weight was not yet over, so he did not want to meet Manuel for the time being.
“Anyway, it’s good that Manuel isn’t busy, Pacino, I’m done running for the day, so hurry back.”
With that, the little girl waved him off and turned to run without a second thought.
Pacino looked at the girl’s back and remained motionless for a long time, until dusk and night drowned him.
It was not long before Pacino got up and left.
Manuel had been reading a file all day, and he knew that Pacino had made many trips to Angelica’s lately, so Manuel said nothing because he had a prior agreement with him.
But today, he had waited and waited, and by this time, Pacino was still not back.
He frowned slightly, what had he done?
Had he taken Angelica out with him?
Manuel thought about Angelica’s innocent look, then put down his briefcase, grabbed his phone and got up to leave.
As soon as she reached the door, she was pushed from the outside before his hand touched her.
A whiff of alcohol hit him.
Manuel took a few steps back from the door before he saw someone and smelled the alcohol.
“Uh!”
Pacino staggered in, reeking of alcohol, and nearly fell to the floor as he stumbled.
Manuel , almost red in the face at the sight, stepped forward and grabbed him by the collar:
“Where have you been?”
“Let me go, let me go.”
Pacino was so drunk that when Manuel grabbed him by the collar, his temper flared and he pushed him away.
But Manuel was stronger, and Pacino was now too drunk to push him away.
“Did you go to see Angelica today?”
When he heard Angelica’s name, Pacino immediately acted as if he had been stung, “Yes, I went to see her, so what?
I was rejected today, hahahaha!”
Rejected?
Manuel narrowed his eyes dangerously, “What do you mean?”
“What did you say to Angelica, Pacino, did you forget what you promised me earlier?”
“I didn’t forget, of course not!”
“Then why were you rejected?”
Manuel was now worried that Pacino would talk nonsense in front of Angelica and scare her away.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
Thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and said, “Do you know he’s underage? What are you doing?”
After restraining himself, Manuel refrained from throwing a punch.
Pacino leaned against the wall, looking sad: “Of course I knew she was underage, so … I didn’t dare say anything, I thought, just keep quiet and watch her.” But who knew she was aware of my feelings.
Her feelings?
“She asked me, if I liked her.”
“What did you say?” Manuel was inexplicably nervous, the boy wasn’t going to admit it openly, was he?
“What can I say? What else could I say? She’s not a teenager yet, dare I admit it?”
Pacino slammed his fist against the table angrily, his fists bruised, but he didn’t care.
“What did I do wrong, why do I have to go through this suffering, when I said nothing, yet now I am like this.”
Manuel breathed a sigh of relief, “It was right not to admit it, otherwise you would have scared her.”
“It was because I was afraid of scaring her that I didn’t say anything, but Manuel, you know that if I don’t say anything this time, I’m afraid I won’t be able to say anything again.”
Manuel looked at him for a moment, sat down beside him, rested his hands on his knees and said with a bland expression on his face, “So don’t say it.”
“If I don’t say it, what should I do? Do you want me to be a bachelor for the rest of my life?”
A bachelor for life?
Manuel looked at him and asked helplessly, “Do you have to have it?”
Pacino lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly, “That’s not the point, it’s that I don’t feel anything for any other girl after all these years, don’t you think?”
The scary thing is that Pacino’s feelings for her always deepened and never diminished, watching her work hard every day, growing, changing little by little.
Pacino grew more and more attached to her, and these days it was his heart that ached for her.
He wanted to keep her that way, at least until she reached adulthood, and then he could talk about anything else.
But I did not expect this to happen today.
“Do you think that was too obvious? But I held back, so why do you see it anyway?”
Manuel frowned, not expecting Angelica to see Pacino’s feelings for her, did that mean she already knew what feelings were?
With some mixed emotions inside, Manuel closed his thin lips and did not respond.
“If they had given me six more months, six more months when she asked me, I would have admitted it, but why are you asking me now? What am I going to do next, Manuel?”
Manuel took one look at him and said lightly, “What do you want to do? If you really like him, be bolder,” he said.
“Bold?”
“-If you haven’t confessed now, what’s to stop you from confessing later? If she doesn’t like you now, who says you won’t like her in the future? Human feelings are changeable.”
Just like his parents’ relationship: at first their marriage was not happy, and things did not go very smoothly, but now his father is incredibly attached to his mother, and so many years have passed, but everything remains the same.
Pacino froze at her words.
“Is it possible?”
Manuel trailed off, “Why not?
As long as your emotions haven’t changed, it’s never too late.”
