Chapter 1662 - Having worries
"What's stopping you from going to college?
An engagement is not a marriage, it's just getting you engaged, and as long as you're an unmarried couple, she won't be the subject of gossip when you go out and things like that, and what's wrong with you getting married after she graduates?"
Manuel's face changed when he heard that.
"Are you sure he wants that kind of life?
The voice on the phone was silent for a moment before saying, "Don't you know Angelica likes you?"
This time it was Manuel's turn to be silent.
"She has liked you since you were a child, it's not possible for you not to feel it. Also, I have dreamed about your marriage for a long time. I raised you and I can tell whether you like a person or not.
Manuel frowned, "So what?"
"So what? You both love each other, and what's stopping you from getting engaged?"
"Of course there is a problem." Manuel did not like this conversation.
She has just turned 18. She likes me, but what happens next? It turns out that we impose this on her and force her to accept everything without reporting. One day she will realize that she doesn't love me at all, and then what will we do?
These words were so precise that Serena remained silent for a long time.
After a while, he asked Manuel seriously: And what do you propose then?
"Give her some more time, she just came of age."
"All right. If you insist, I won't put pressure on you, the important thing is Angelica."
"Should I send her home to rest?"
"Go ahead, I will report your words to his family."
Manuel was relieved when he hung up the phone; he had been worried that the two families would force him to get married.
Everything will change when this marriage is concluded.
Not only will Angelica change, but also he himself. He will have to look at her as a grown-up girl, and he did not know what their relationship would be like.
Manuel leaned against the wall and closed his eyes a little wearily.
"Can I help you, sir?"
The convenience store clerk noticed that he had been here for a long time and was not buying anything. So, out of curiosity, she approached Manuel and asked him.
He opened his eyes and saw a girl in front of him. He was struck by the beauty of her face and for a while could not utter a word.
Please give me two bottles of mineral water. Thank you.
All right, all right.
The clerk took some time to get his voice back. She didn't even ask what brand of water to give him. She just pulled out two bottles and handed them to him, waiting for payment. Watching him leave the store, he then noticed that a pretty girl was waiting for him in the car
She was leaning against the car window and smiled when she saw Manuel return.
The sales clerk sighed, it was true that all good men were owned, alas.
After getting back into the car, Angelica asked curiously, "Manuel, what took you so long to buy water?"
"I just took an inside call."
"Was it Aunt Serena who called? What did she tell you?"
Of course Manuel did not tell her anything. Their families were already ready to discuss their marriage, and this could only influence the girl's mind and judgment.
"He asked me when I was going to send you back, and I said I was coming back."
There was nothing suspicious about this, and Angelica blushed and did not respond.
On the way back, Angelica noticed that the roadsides were flooded. In addition, they were very dirty. Road workers in rubber boots cleaned them up.
Seeing this picture, Angelica remembered how last night she and Manuel were walking on the water, hugging each other. She forgot it because of her shyness.
"By the way Manuel, your legs don't itch, do they?"
"What?"
It was raining last night and it was very dirty. If your legs itch, you need to see a doctor. I heard earlier that if your feet get wet in the rain, you need to be more careful about your health. After saying this, the girl stared at her legs.
Manuel reached out and patted her on the head, "Don't worry, I'm not that fragile."
"If something bothers you, be sure to go to the doctor. Don't make me worry.
"All right."
The car drove to the Rossi family home. Having already learned what Manuel was thinking, Angelica's parents hurried to get into the car and head for their home. Sitting in the car, Giofo was distraught.
I thought from the beginning that they would get married, but I didn't think this guy would refuse to get married. Do you really think he is thinking about our daughter or is he just looking for an excuse to refuse? Fiona cast a dirty look at her husband.
"What excuse? Are you so insecure about our daughter? My Angelica is so cute and pretty, who wouldn't like her? Besides, so many years have passed, don't you know what kind of person Manuel is? If you don't like him, you can just say no, why say such things?
Fiona was, as always, very bold and courageous. Her husband pressed his lips together, avoiding her gaze.
What made you so angry? I don't think about our daughter? You fear that she will be treated unfairly and won't be able to meet a good person.
Spit it out! You just say all sorts of bad things all day long! He said it was only for the sake of our daughter, so shut your mouth! We knew Manuel as a child. If he was able to admit honestly, then he has no bad thoughts about our daughter. I think he is not confident enough. Besides, Angelica has just turned 18. I think he is right. It is better to worry a little bit than not to worry at all. Besides, I really like Manuel too. If he can be my son-in-law, that's great.
But if Angelica is really what he said, then she has not yet understood his feelings. She will think about things on her own and not want to be with him. For me, the important thing is my daughter's happiness. "It's natural, Angelica's happiness and well-being is the most important thing, after all, we only have one daughter."
"Let's go back, she's been out all night and she's going to miss us."
Despite what he said, Giofo sighed, "If they could get married, they would be such a beautiful couple! After all, there is no more handsome boy in North City than Manuel!
Fiona also sighed, "Yes, it's really excellent, in every way, and I wonder what kind of base the Ferrari family is stuck with, the boy is so smart."
"Dear, if our Angelica is really with him in the future, with our Angelica's simple mind, will he be able to calculate it?"
Fiona: "How can I calculate your future spouse? Have you calculated your wife?
Jofo: "
