Chapter 442 A Celebration of Being Single

Manuel left in his car.

People were coming and going on the busy streets.

He had that frosty look in his eyes. The light of the setting sun shone on him but it seemed unable to warm him and remove the chill from him. Because his heart was cold. But he can still control himself. He had no mood swings, just like a fine statue.

Inside the car, the phone suddenly rang. He took a look and answered it.

His voice was as usual and no one could hear his sadness, he said, "Hello, Theodore."

"Hey, I heard your leg is almost healed," Theodore said.

"Yeah, the right leg is recovered but the left leg needs further rehabilitation."

"How long?"

"Maybe a month or two."

"So soon? I thought you were going to be crippled before." Theodore said jokingly.

Manuel was used to his directness.

"Where are you now?" Theodore asked.

"On my way home."

"I heard you got divorced..." Theodore said.

And there were some small changes in Manuel's expression, which were so subtle that it was hard to catch. He asked in his usual voice. "Who told you that?" Theodore did not answer.

Manuel guessed, "Hannah, right?"

"You can't blame her for having a big mouth." Theodore put in a kindly word for her, "She is worried about you and asked me to take care of you." "I'm fine."

"Really? Don't be so stubborn!" Theodore doubted.

"Do I sound like someone who is a mess?"

"No. But you are always good at suppressing your feelings. Nobody knows what's going on in your heart. For a long time, Oscar and I didn't know that you liked Susan." Theodore said with some complaints. Manuel did not know how to explain that.

"You know what? We'll have a drink tonight. Whether you're okay or not, I'm the only one who can help you celebrate being single since your cousin is not here." Theodore proposed.

Manuel looked at the busy street. In such a blooming city, he suddenly felt a little lonely. He had a feeling that the city did not belong to him. It was as if, a few years ago, he had left the country alone with his stuff on his back.

He said, "Okay, where?"

"I'll send you the location."

"Okay."

Manuel hung up the phone. He still seemed calm. No one could see how badly his heart hurt, how thoroughly it was broken.

The car arrived at the destination. When he walked in on a crutch, Theodore was waiting for him inside.

Stepping into the box, Manuel was shocked by the luxury of a private room for only two. There was a large table, which can hold at least 20 people, filled with dishes.

Manuel could not help asking, "Is there anyone else?"

"No, just the two of us."

"Can we finish all these?"

"That's not the point." Theodore said excitedly, "The point is that you finally get rid of Susan. Not to mention these, I am willing to treat you to the diner like this for a whole week." Manuel was speechless.

"Help yourself. We should drink slowly." Theodore said.

Manuel nodded. They enjoyed the dishes while drinking and chatting.

"I don't know why you like Susan. I mean, I could only say she was not ugly. Sure, she was a trendy girl, and her temperament was good, but she could never be called a beauty. But you, look at yourself, you are talented, handsome, such a noble man. She has more money than taste but you are an elegant nobility. You two do not match." Theodore was speaking ill of Susan.

Manuel just sat there and listened, without saying a word.

"Yes, I admit that she has a good figure. I have seen her dancing with her friends several times at the club. But there are so many women in the world with nice butts..., and I don't think you are that shallow. I always thought you liked the pure type, sweet girls. Susan is a vamp vixen!"

In fact, Susan was quite conservative in the matter of sex. She went out for fun, but she was not promiscuous.

But for now, Manuel seemed to have no reason to speak nice words for her. Because they weren't a couple anymore.

"That's why I think getting divorced is the best thing you've ever done." Theodore said firmly, "For being single again, let's have another drink."

Manuel did not refuse. He was always drinking whenever Theodore said so. He couldn't hold his liquor very well, but he could use it to drown his sorrows now.

"But I was a little surprised that Oscar and Hannah got married. I know Oscar has liked her for a long time. You know, I've just discovered something." Theodore said excitedly. Manuel looked at him.

He said bluntly, "Don't you replace that you two are too dedicated to love? You guys can like one person for a long time with no regrets. Is that a tradition in your family? Or is it inherited?" Manuel smiled. They just happened to meet someone they liked and didn't meet another one.

"Oh yes, I'll go on about them. I have always felt that Hannah is an eye candy and she loved Oscar for his appearance. After all, Oscar is a dreadfully charming handsome guy. It is quite common for women to throw themselves at him. But I did not expect them to be so deeply in love with each other. And they are in stark contrast to you two. I mean, Hannah and Susan are friends, right? Susan is a love rat. How did they become friends?"

"You're a love rat, too." Manuel suddenly said with a smile.

Theodore was stunned, then he retorted, "Only to women."

"She was only to men as well."

"You still speak well of her. You're not over her yet?"

"Yes, I am. Real letting go means treating someone with a normal heart without any private feelings. I was just being objective. I didn't mean anything else."

Theodore thought what he said was right, so he said, "Oscar and you have always been disliking my way of life, but what I want to tell you is that my happiness is something you can never experience." Manuel chuckled.

But he was still uninterested.
