Chapter 1010
“Manley, Estelle sat up, her eyes clear yet helpless, “Even without Jonathan Lamont, we should keep our distance.”
“Cut it out!”
Manley stopped her, “I get where you’re coming from, and you shouldn’t feel the burden. Don’t worry about what I
think. If you want to treat me as a friend, then so
be it
He paused, his handsome eyes losing some of their sparkle, and murmured in a self-deprecating tone, “I know,
you’re just pissed because I kissed you, that’s why you’re digging up all this stuff again.”
Estelle was taken aback and looked down
Manley’s captivating eyes appeared clear and gentle. In a comforting tone, deep and low, he said, “It was my fault.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI acted on impulse and offended you. I promise it won’t happen again.”
Estelle shook her head. “Why do you even bother?”
Why was Manley so into her? She couldn’t figure it out. They didn’t have much interaction before. His act of risking
himself to save her on Kulha Mountain was already a surprise. For the past two years, he had been following her
around the world, leaving her clueless about what to do.
She wanted to reciprocate, that was why she didn’t push him away. But it seemed like she was owing him more and
more.
She had never met anyone like him before. She was at a loss.
“Stop frowning, you look better with your cool expression. Manley laughed, pulling her up. Tm hungry. Let’s go eat
with Kya. I miss her too
“Hold on!” Estelle suddenly remembered, “Xavier asked me to go to his place today.”
Manley asked, “Anything urgent?”
“Probably not. I haven’t seen him since I came back to J City. He probably just wants to see me, Estelle said.
Manley sighed, “No wonder you don’t have me in your heart, with so many guys on your taill
Estelle scoffed. “Keep talking and I’ll punch you!”
“Alight, alright” Manley chuckled and quickly walked out, “Til go check on Kya.”
Estelle followed him. When she reached downstairs, Manley was knocking on the door When it opened, he seemed
stunned.
Estelle quickened her steps and then noticed that the person who opened the door was Charlie
Manley was looking at Estelle with a complex expression
Seeing the understanding glance between Manley and Estelle, Charlie laughed and greeted Estelle, inviting them in.
Manley tugged on Estelle’s arm and whispered, “What’s happening?”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmEstelle whispered back, Til tell you later
Charlie turned and saw the suggestive exchange between Manley and Estelle, instinctively feeling sorry for a
certain someone.
“Estelle Charlie called out
Estelle immediately looked up and took two steps forward. “Charlie”
In the living room, Kya was playing with building blocks, apparently playing with Charlie Seeing Manley, she
immediately threw herself at him, “Daddy”” Manley bent down and scooped Kya into his arms, lifting her high and
spinning around. “Did you miss me?”
“I missed you!” Kya laughed happily.
Upon hearing Kya address Manley as ‘Daddy’ and seeing her excited reaction, Charlie felt uncomfortable. He
stepped forward wanting to take Kya back, “it’s dangerous to lift a child like that.”
Holding Kys in his arms, Manley smiled and said, “Kya has always loved it when I pick her up and spin her around.
Do you think you know Kya better than I do?” Charlie’s face was expressionless, but his entire aura became serious.
Worried that there might be a conflict between the two, Estelle stepped in front of Manley and asked, “Charlie, what
are you doing here?”
