Chapter 401 A Sudden Impulse

Susan was engaged in the game and she didn't listen to Manuel.

So she felt a bit angry when a spoon filled with porridge moved close to her mouth, which blocked her view.

"Manuel Johnson, I am interrupted."

"You may continue if you take a spoon of it."

Susan compromised and opened her mouth.

The porridge was pretty soft with fruits and fresh vegetables, and it turned out to be not as bad as she thought. Manuel paid high attention to her reaction, so he refiled the spoon for Susan when noticing she didn't throw it up.

Susan was not sure whether it was because she was hungry or not, and particularly because her attention was distracted by the game, that she didn't feel sick after eating, instead, she wanted more. She could even finish it without Manuel's help.

The porridge was gradually eaten up spoon by spoon. Susan didn't notice it for she was focusing on the game, so she kept her mouth open as before. However, there was still no porridge sent in for a long time, and she was a bit annoyed. Susan frowned and looked at Manuel, only to replace he was about to go out of the room with an empty bowl.

"I can have more." Susan seemed to hesitate a little and said.

Surprised, Manuel paused, and soon he replied, "OK."

"It's your daughter who wants to eat, not me!" Sudan gave a far-fetched explanation.

A faint smile appeared on Manuel's face. When he heard the words "your daughter", his heart melted. No sooner had the words come out than Susan regretted saying it.

Damn it, who said it must be a girl!

She attempted to calm down in her rage, for she was still playing the game.

Not for a while Manuel came in with another bowl of porridge and fed her in the same way. Susan was quite cooperative and had it all spoon by spoon. It was her first time finishing two bowls of food since she was pregnant. She even burped after eating. She did enjoy this meal.

Susan felt like she was forcing herself to eat for the sake of the baby and her health before. Seldom would she enjoy a meal like this.

"Do you want more?" Manuel asked.

"No, I'm done," Susan replied. Since she was in a good mood, she even soften her tone when speaking.

Manuel nodded, taking a piece of tissue to wipe her mouth gently. Susan wasn't aware of Manuel's action and grinned with delight when she managed to turn the tables in the game.

She put down the phone and realized Manuel was wiping her mouth carefully. A little moved, Susan kept staring at his long eyelashes and his eyes dark as the night.

At that moment, she felt her heartstrings tugged. Something magic held her to fix her eyes on the man before her.

Manuel seemed to notice her sight. He lifted his eyes to hers, and they were staring at each other.

Sometimes eye contact, an ambiguous one, could evoke a desire between a man and a woman. It was an impulse.

So at this moment, Manuel's lips came close to Susan's. Susan was holding her phone nervously, but she did not refuse him.

Looking at his lips, she felt they were so sexy and ruddy that she even wanted to take a bite.

She swallowed a bit, and at the same time, his lips touched her and kissed her lips. A strange feeling was stirred in her heart. Manuel stayed for a few seconds on her lips, and suddenly he moved his tongue in her mouth, and he even wanted more... "Manuel," The door was pushed out all of a sudden.

Both Susan and Manuel were taken aback. Then, Susan pushed him away immediately. Manuel was sitting on the edge of the bed, and out of surprise he fell to the ground at the push. Susan heard the sound of falling, and she was shocked too. She didn't expect she would push him to the ground.

She was startled by the knock on the door.

It was to Justine's surprise, too. She didn't expect they to be kissing in the room when she opened the door. Justine once believed Susan had a hatred of Manuel, so she never thought they would be kissing. But it still made sense since they were adults. It was common for couples to be intimate.

So right now Justine didn't have much time to care about her son, instead, she explained immediately, "You may go on. I just wanted to have Manuel check my computer. And it's OK to do it tomorrow." At the same time, she quickly closed the door and left.

Staring at the door that was once opened, Susan was quite annoyed.

What the hell.

She was obviously tempted by him before. But she still felt extremely embarrassed right now. Manuel felt the same, and he slowly got up from the floor.

Susan noticed Manuel. Thinking of the injury to his legs, she decided to give a helping hand. However, surprisingly, he managed to sand up with one leg.

Susan was shocked, "Are you recovered?"

Susan knew Manuel had to take rehabilitation therapy regularly in the hospital but he came back in a wheelchair every time. So she didn't notice he was able to use his right leg. "Yeah. This leg is recovered on the whole."

"How about the other one?" Susan was fairly excited.

"I still had no feeling in that leg."

"You can't feel it?" Susan was apparently appointed.

"Um." Manuel nodded his head.

"Did the doctor tell you whether you can recover or not?" Susan asked.

Manuel didn't respond.

Susan sighed.

His silence told her there was no possibility of recovery.

How could she get divorced from him if he could not recover from injury...

Manuel did know what Susan was thinking-she was longing for leaving him immediately as soon as he recovered. Manuel's silence told her that it was impossible for the day to come.

As a matter of fact, the doctor had said the chances for recovery were pretty high, and the other leg would be able to get feelings if he took enough electric strikes.

"Let me take the bowl out." Manuel sat back in the wheelchair, carrying the bowl out.

Staring at his back, Susan recalled the day of their wedding.

She said in a hurry, "Manuel, forget about it."

Manuel paused.

"Forget about it. I was a bit tempted just now since you are not a bad-looking man after all. You know it's a natural desire." Susan attempted to explain why she didn't push him away when he kissed her. "I see," Manuel responded in a plain tone. It sounded like he didn't care about it, and on the contrary, it seemed it was she who cared about it by giving an explanation. Susan was annoyed.

It was Manuel who took the action first.

How could he stay so calm now?
