Chapter 631 Happy New Year

Of course, she did not mention the more important part. In addition to dealing with the invitation, she wanted to find out the truth.

The Gage family seemed much quieter compared to the Easton family’s liveliness.

Although Koen had opened his eyes, he still could not leave the hospital.

Manuel and Serina looked at the huge house. Although the housekeeper had created a good atmosphere in the house, it still felt lonely and quiet.

Serina immediately rushed over when she saw Manuel coming out of the study. “Manuel, let’s go and celebrate the New Year with Ainsley. I haven’t seen her for days.”

After thinking about this possibility again, Manuel shook his head. ‘They might have gone to the old house. It’s not appropriate for us to go there.”

Serina pouted. “Then we’ll spend it at home together.”

Suddenly, as if remembering something, she looked at him expectantly. “Manuel, shall we bring some delicious food to Grandpa’s ward for New Year’s Eve?”

“Sure.” Manuel rubbed Serina’s head.

Meanwhile, it was almost five in the afternoon at the Easton’s place. Jett wanted to leave with Waston as soon as he saw the time.

“We don’t want to disturb you for too long. Mr. Glover is still waiting at home,” Jett said.

Robyn did not expect them to leave. Initially, she planned to let Waston have dinner here and interact more with Matteo.

“Why don’t you stay for now, Waston?” Robyn grabbed Waston’s hand, not willing to let her go.

Jett said meaningfully, “It seems that you really like Waston a lot, Mrs. Easton. But it’s alright, Mr. Easton and Waston will meet in the future if they’re destined to.”

Robyn understood what he meant and did not stop them anymore.

“Of course. Don’t forget to send my regards to Mr. Glover,” Harold said.

After Jett left with Waston, Ainsley stood up and prepared to return to her room.

Matteo knew that she was not happy with her lunch. He said, “Dad, Mom, Aisy and I will go back first.”

Ainsley’s eyes widened. She did not expect him to notice it.

On the contrary, Robyn looked incredulous. ’Why aren’t you spending New Year’s Eve at home, Matteo? This is a family day!”

She pinched her hand hard, thinking that it was because of Ainsley this bitch that Matteo was on the verge of not acknowledging her as his mother.

Harold came over to persuade as well. “That’s right. We asked you to come back because we wanted you to stay for dinner. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have had to go through so much trouble to ask you back!”

He immediately pulled Ainsley to his side. “It’s okay if you want to leave but Aisy ain’t going back with you. She has to stay for the New Year.”

Ainsley was a little helpless, but she knew that Harold was sincere with her. She said to Matteo, “Let’s stay, Matteo.”

Harold was quite happy when he was at the dining table. He took out two monetary gifts and handed them to Matteo and Ainsley. “This is for you.”

“Thank you, Mr. Easton.”

“Thanks, Dad.”

That was a good dinner. Before Ainsley could go back to her room, Matteo stopped her and gave her a monetary gift. “This is from me.”

“Thank you, Matteo.”

At midnight, fireworks exploded in Seattle to welcome the New Year. Ainsley drew the curtains open to see the night sky full of fireworks.

She suddenly thought of the fireworks set off by Manuel at the top of the mountain to make her happy.

Lowering her gaze, she was surprised to see the familiar car parked downstairs. The familiar figure was looking at her and waving at her.

Ainsley was stunned for a few seconds. She quickly took out her phone and made a call. Soon, the crazy? Why are you not going home on such a cold night? What are you doing here?”

Manuel’s voice was nasal. “Happy New Year, Aisy.”

“Did you hear what I said? Hurry up and go back.* Ainsley calmed herself down.

The sky was already starting to snow, and the snow was falling. Manuel was wearing a black coat, and the snow was falling all over his head.

The sound of Manuel’s heavy breathing made Ainsley a little worried. “What are you thinking about?”

Manuel replied, “I know you may not like coming here, so you may not be too happy. I’ve prepared a New Year gift for you, Aisy. I wonder if I can give it to you myself?”

There was a loud sneeze after a short silence. Ainsley looked over to see Manuel sneezing and shivering, and she almost laughed out loud.

The snow was getting heavier. Ainsley urged, “Give it to me when we meet. It’s snowing now. You’ll get buried in the snow if you don’t leave now. I don’t want you to be on the news tomorrow.”

However, Manuel insisted, “Then come down and get it.”

Ainsley pondered for a moment. “Wait for me.”

She immediately wrapped the clothes tightly, picked up an ultra-thick coat, and put it on before going down.

Listening to the sound of stomping down the stairs on the phone, Manuel walked over with the stuff.

Ainsley saw Manuel’s face as soon as she opened the door. “You-you, why did you suddenly come to the door?”

“There’s snow outside. Don’t come out.” Manuel used his body to block the cold snow and wind.

However, the wind pierced into Ainsley’s face. She spread her hands, and Manuel put the box on them. “Okay, faster go up now.”

“What about you?” Ainsley frowned slightly.

“Me? I’m going home. Don’t you want me to stay here?” Manuel’s tone was low and full of disappointment.

Seeing him like this, Ainsley felt awkward for no reason. Holding the box, she watched as Manuel turned around and left.

With so, he left under the falling snow. He walked towards the Cayenne step by step, but he exhibited a resolute sense of loneliness.

Ainsley almost wanted to call out to him, but she controlled herself.

She should not be such a sentimental person and she had to be more rational.

He walked to the car, turned around, and waved at her, signaling her to go upstairs.

Ainsley nodded slowly and entered the house.

She heard a faint sound coming from Harold’s room when she went upstairs. It was the sound of an argument.

She did not want to hear it, but she heard her father’s name when she was going up.

“Didn’t Jake die in a car accident?”

“Aisy must be very sad. Don’t talk nonsense before you find out the truth…”

The warmth in her heart froze, and the coldness swept over her whole body.

After returning to her room, she calmed herself down and divert her gaze to the box.

She opened the box and the first thing she saw was a monetary gift from Manuel.

Besides that, there was an emerald bracelet inside. It was fully emerald green and had green ripples on it. Just by the look of it, it must be a high- end product.

Underneath the bracelet was a simple card. [Happy New Year, Aisy.]

Complicated emotions surged into her heart. She kept the bracelet well and lay on the bed, awaiting tomorrow. Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

Matteo brought Ainsley back home the next morning. He had been feeling uneasy on the way home.

Perhaps it was because of his mother’s strange behavior at the dinner table that made him suspect that Jake’s death had something to do with her.

He glanced at Ainsley to see her solemn expression and he knew that she was feeling not much better than him.
