Starting with A Divorce

Chapter 88 It Is Too Late
“You’ve simply lost the face of the Baldry family! Look at what you have posted on the forums. I can’t help you with this!”
“I did all of this for you! She cheated on you, yet you still gave her so much money and that house. She married you for money! I
don’t like her! How can she be so shameless to take away the Baldry family’s money?” Kaitlin angrily scolded.
“Enough!” Cason became angrier.
“It’s not whether we should save you. Do you know who sent you here? It’s the Gage family. No one can help you! You should
reflect on yourself!” Cason tumed around and left immediately.
“Don’t go, Cason! You can leave me alone!” Kaitlin slapped the door like she had gone crazy, but as soon as she was emotional,
two policemen came over to stop her.
“Don’t touch me! I’m from the Baldry family!” she shouted like she had gone mad, but it was useless.
At night, Manuel brought dinner and set up the food.
Looking at Manuel, who was busy with the meal, and Serina, who was silently reading a book, Ainsley suddenly had a strange
feeling.
They were like a family of three. The husband came back from work every day to cook, the child was doing homework on the
side, and she was sitting leisurely.
But Ainsley felt that something was wrong.
She immediately drove away this terrible idea. What nonsense was she thinking?
Ainsley shook her head and saw Manuel staring at her with a smile on his face.
She blushed immediately and asked, “Why are you staring at me?”
“I just called you. You’re in a daze. Come and have dinner.” He walked to Ainsley and reached out to hug her.
“Mr. Gage?” Ainsley immediately dodged.
“I’ll carry you over.”

“No. My legs are not as painful as yesterday. I walked today.” She took Serina to Harborview Medical Center today.
“That’s because I’m not there,” Manuel insisted as he placed his hand beside her.
Ainsley felt that her cheeks were even hotter. Manuel had already picked her up. Perhaps it was because he had been fiddling
with the food just now, his hands were warm.
Manuel put her down, and Serina had already sat by her side. She grabbed the corner of Ainsley’s clothes with one hand while
looking at Manuel.
“Serina, I won’t leave, You can take your hand up. Let’s eat first, OK?” Ainsley spoke like she was treating a child.
In fact, Serina was now as sensitive as a child.
“Serina, hurry and eat.” Manuel placed a bowl of soup in front of her.
And he gave one to Ainsley as well. The strong bitterness assaulted her senses. She instantly realized what it was.
“You even cooked herbal tea?” She looked at Manuel in disbelief.
“You didn’t drink it today,” Manuel said as he walked into the kitchen and took out the sealed herbal tea bag.
Ainsley looked at the amount on the herbal tea bag in shock. It turned out that Manuel not only heated up the food but also made
herbal tea for her.
Ainsley felt shy and embarrassed, and she swallowed hard.
She picked up a spoon and stirred the herbal tea. Her lower abdomen no longer hurt. Even though she had forgotten about this
matter, Manuel remembered it.
“Manuel, did you come to save us?” Serina suddenly said.
Ainsley and Manuel looked at each other and then looked at Serina.
“Yes, I did. Serina, look carefully. It’s me.”
Serina nodded heavily. “But you came too late.”
Too late?

Ainsley did not understand, but when Serina said this, she got goosebumps.
Manuel answered, “Serina, it’s not too late. Look, I’ve saved you.”
“Ainsley, are you safe?” Serina asked suddenly.
Ainsley was stunned, but she nodded. “We are all safe.”
“Alright!” Serina did not say anything else. She took the bowl in front of her and drank the soup slowly.
Manuel was slightly dazed, as if he was thinking of something.
It was already late at night. Manuel packed up the rest of the things and left.
Serina went to sleep, but Ainsley could not fall asleep.
She was thinking about Manuel. He was perfect.
She could feel that her feelings for Manuel had slowly changed. And she couldn’t control her feelings.
Ainsley had already tried her best to control herself, but the more she wanted to dodge, the closer, she wanted to get.
“According to the latest news, Kaitlin Baldry stole the test papers of the Psychology Quiz Show at the University of Washington
and
framed her classmates. When she was found, she was angry and embarrassed and splashed hot water on one of the judges
present...”
“Kaitlin is detained for ten days and is fined 5 thousand dollars.”
The news had gone viral, and Ainsley did not even need to specifically search for the news.
She knew that what Kaitlin did was not a penal offense, but this sort of punishment was more difficult for Kaitlin to bear.
What Kaitlin cared about the most was dignity. She relied on the power of her family to seek privilege, but now, she had been
written
as a bad student who bullied the weak.

Ainsley knew that it was Manuel who did this. After all, the only one in Seattle who dared to report the Baldry family’s affairs was
the Gage family/
These days, Ainsley listened to Mollie’s advice and took Serina to various amusement parks and bookstores.
Manuel was worried about them and would follow them when he had time.
Taking advantage of these few days when Ainsley did not need to go to work, she wanted to stabilize Serina’s condition.
After several days of medical treatment and psychological intervention, Serina gradually returned to her former state, but she still
could not leave Ainsley. Occasionally, she would pinch the corner of Ainsley’s clothes when she was nervous.
Manuel would come over every night to deliver them dinner. He felt embarrassed to leave Serina to Ainsley, so he specially
brought Pearl Hotel’s food.
“Don’t bring Pearl Hotel’s food every day. It’s too expensive.” Ainsley knew how expensive the food was in Pearl Hotel. Although
Manuel was rich, she did not want him to waste money.
“Serina is also here. I should bring you the food,” Manuel said as he placed the bag on the coffee table.
“Don’t bring food for her tomorrow. I won’t starve her.”
“Are you going to cook personally?” Manuel raised an eyebrow.
“Well, I can handle a few simple dishes.” Ainsley nodded.
Moreover, the swelling on her leg gradually receded, so she could walk normally.
“Then I’ll bring the dishes tomorrow afternoon,” Manuel said.
Ainsley was stunned. “No.”
“You don’t want me to come?” Manuel looked at Ainsley in disappointment.
Why did he look so pitiful? she thought.
Ainsley hurriedly said, “I mean, let’s do grocery shopping together. I need to see what to buy.”
“Then I won’t refuse.” Manuel turned around and continued to pick up the dishes.

Only then did Ainsley realize what she had said. What she wanted to say was to do grocery shopping herself...
“Ainsley, can I go with you?” Serina’s eyes were bright.
“Of course.”
