Starting with A Divorce by Gloria Warren

Chapter 176 It’s Time to Go back

The man and woman got closer and closer, and the noises made him calm down.

He reserved a booth by himself with two empty bottles in his hand, and he asked the waiter to serve him

wine.

He lifted the bottle and drank it with his head up. If he drank too much, he would get drunk. He was

already drunk once last time, but this time he was sober when he wanted to get drunk.

It wasn’t until the third bottle was drained that he felt blurred and saw everything around

him doubling.

At this moment, a woman came to his side, her red lips very charming. She said alluringly, “Handsome

guy, why are you drinking alone? I am also alone, why don’t we drink together?”

The woman was ***with low-quality perfume, and the pungent smell made his stomach churn. He waved

his hand to signal her to leave.

But the woman approached Manuel unyieldingly. She straightened her chest, got closer to Manuel, and

said in a high-pitched voice, “Handsome guy, look at me! Let’s have a

drink together.”

She reached out to prepare wine for Manuel. But, before she poured it out, the bottle was

***back.

“Go away,” Manuel said impatiently.

The woman was embarrassed. She saw that this man was her compatriot, and he was handsome and

wore high-end clothes. Even the wine he drank was expensive.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t come to him.

When she was about to continue asking, the man looked at her coldly, “Don’t you

understand?”

The woman finally stood up, and left with an annoyed remark, “***!”

He finally got a moment of tranquility. He suffered a severe headache, remembering that when he went

to find Ainsley last time, she still cared about him. But Irene ruined

everything.

At 2:30 in the morning, the winner’s club was about to close. The crowd dispersed, as well as all the

blondes. Only Manuel and a waiter were left in the club.

The waiter was also from his country. He saw Manuel leaning on the sofa and patted him, “Sir, we are

about to close here! Sir, wake up!”

But Manuel was already drunk, and his phone happened to ring at this time.

The waiter immediately answered the phone, “Hello, this gentleman is drunk in our club. Are you his

friend? Can you come and pick him up?”

The person on the other end of the phone was silent for a while before saying, “Okay, which club is it? I’ll

be right there.”

Fifteen minutes later, Irene walked into the club and saw the drunk Manuel. She looked at the waiter

gratefully, “Thank you.”

“Madam, our club is about to close. Please take him back quickly.”

“Okay.” Irene was stunned and suddenly thought of something.

She turned on Manuel’s phone and said to the waiter, “Can you do me a favor? Here’s the

money.

She handed a stack of banknotes to the waiter, which was worth a thousand dollars.

The waiter took the money almost instantly, “What’s the matter? I’m willing to help.”

“Call this person.” Irene pointed the phone screen at the waiter.

“Okay.”

At this time, Ainsley was not feeling well either. She was screening the data while. looking at the

computer screen lethargically.

It was so late, but she couldn’t fall asleep.

She had designed many models and was going to choose the most suitable one from

them.

As she was thinking about it, the phone rang, and she saw the incoming call on the phone screen. It was

Manuel.

She hesitated for a long time before picking it up. But, the person who spoke was not

Manuel.

“Hello, are you a friend of this gentleman? He got drunk in our club and it was about to be closed. Can

you come and pick him up?”

Drunk?

Ainsley wanted to refuse, but she still couldn’t speak out about her rejection.

No matter how firm her rejection was, she couldn’t deny that she cared about Manuel.

“Okay.”

She put on her clothes, took her bag, and went out. The winner’s club was not far from the hotel where

she was staying, and it took only ten minutes to get there.

St. Nork at two thirty in the morning also had a special atmosphere. There was no one on the street, and

the yellowish light of the street lamps shone at her feet.

Walking into the club, she froze.

Before entering the door, she saw Irene from a distance. Irene came out in a hurry and opened the door

of a car on the side of the road.

Ainsley’s breath was uneven because behind Irene she saw Manuel, who was helped out

by the waiter.

Irene opened the car door for him, put him in the back seat, and then turned to talk to the

waiter.

Although the distance was not close, Ainsley could hear their conversation in the quiet

street

“Thank you for calling me, I’m sorry,” Irene said.

The waiter replied, “I didn’t know who to call at first, but this gentleman kept saying your

name. So I hurriedly called you.”

“We grew up together, and he tends to call someone’s name when he is drunk,” Irene said with some

embarrassment.

After thanking the waiter again, Irene got into the car, and the car quickly left the street.

The waiter turned around and walked into the club. He glanced at her inadvertently and turned off the

lights in the club.

The whole street was silent and unpeopled, and the lights of the shops on both sides.

had long been put out.

She was alone on the street, stunned and turning the scene just now over and over again

in her mind.

She lowered her head with eyes slightly red and let out a chuckle, “Ha! Ha…

What did she worry about? She clearly knew that Irene was by his side. No matter how concerned she

was, she should know that Irene would take good care of him.

Besides, as the waiter said, he kept murmuring Irene’s name. So she shouldn’t show up

anymore.

A drop of cold water hit her head, and she reached out to catch it.

back. The rain sluiced down, and it was so cold. It was time for her to go.

Back at the hotel, her clothes were soaked through, and her hair was messy and wet on

her face.

The scene just now seemed to be lingering in her mind.

She blocked Manuel’s phone number and cut off all contact methods.

She was very disappointed, and she shouldn’t wake up from her dream so late.

Manuel was a little confused when he heard the busy tone on the phone. He had made many phone

calls to Ainsley, but there was always a busy tone. After trying more than 20 times, he was finally sure

that Ainsley had blocked his phone number.

She cut off her ties with him, so there must be something that he neglected.

The day before yesterday, his memory was in chaos after he got drunk at the club. He

didn’t remember how he got out of the club, nor how he returned to the hotel.

He had been dealing with the affairs of Applegath Company yesterday, and he had little

time until now.

He was looking at the call log. When he was drunk, he received a call from Irene.

Just thinking about it, he saw Irene coming out of the factory.

He frowned slightly, “You sent me back when I was drunk the day before yesterday?”

Irene nodded, “Yes, the waiter who answered my phone call that night said you were drunk and asked if I

could pick you up, and I said yes.”

“What else?” It was definitely not that simple.

“What else? I took you back to the hotel, and that’s all.” Irene said seriously.

Manuel stared into her eyes, “What happened to Ainsley?”
