Chapter 443 Martina's Approach
"How about joining me? To make your life complete." Theodore smirked.
"No, thank you, I'm afraid of getting sick."
"Come on! You haven't tried it yet. You can't get sick with good protection. And you can rest assured that the woman I found must be in good health. Do you think I can have sex with any woman?" "Yes, you can."
Theodore took one look at his eyes and knew what he was thinking.
He rolled his eyes and said to Manuel, "You know nothing about having fun. Forget it. Just drink."
So they drank again.
The dinner was just the beginning. At about 7 PM, Theodore took him to the nightclub. That was where they drink even more.
At about 9 o 'clock in the evening, Manuel felt that he could not get up. He said to Theodore, "I'm drunk."
"Is that all?" Theodore was not done with having fun.
"You know how much I can drink."
Theodore said with some helplessness, "I finally asked my dad for leave and he approved me to go out with you. If you leave now, I will be dragged back immediately. He is driving me crazy." Manuel could imagine how difficult it must be for a runaway man like him to be kept in captivity.
But he can't drink any more tonight. He didn't want to get drunk like he did last time and do impulsive things, such as giving Susan a forced kiss. He didn't allow himself to cause too many problems he couldn't control.
"I have to go," Manuel said firmly.
Theodore would never force him to stay. He saw that Manuel was blushing and not feeling well.
So he said, "Okay, see you next time."
"I'm afraid you won't get out."
"Don't worry, as long as you guys ask me out. I know what my dad is thinking."
If Theodore could figure out what Laird was thinking, he would have been called a quite shrewd man. But that was not the case.
Oscar and Manuel were afraid to mess with Laird Wold. He treated them with great respect, but if they strayed a little, they would suffer a lot under Laird's uncountable ways.
It was even scary just thinking about it.
"I'll see you out." Theodore was going to leave with him.
"No." Manuel refused, "You don't need to do that. You can hang around a little longer. It'll be a while before your dad knows I'm gone."
Theodore thought so. He had driven away his men around.
"I'll go, then."
Manuel picked up the crutch and went out. His head was still spinning. But he thought he could make it but he walked with some difficulty.
No sooner had he walked through the crazy hall than someone bumped into him. When he was about to fall back, the person suddenly caught him.
He turned to say "thank you" but suddenly stopped. It was Martina.
Martina tightly held him and asked, "Are you OK?"
Manuel nodded. He didn't expect to meet her here.
It was her plan, of course.
Martina had asked people to follow Manuel and Susan for a long time. She was afraid they could not divorce smoothly.
She got a message that today Manuel and Theodore would have dinner together. Although she did not quite understand how they know each other, she just wanted to meet Manuel. She had waited most of the night, and finally, she had a chance to be near him.
"Thank you." Manuel moved. His move meant he wanted her to loosen her hands.
"I'll take you home."
"No, it is okay."
"You are drunk and you can hardly walk. I'll take you home." Martina said firmly.
She directly held him to go outside. Manuel pursed his lips but he said nothing. Sometimes, he felt he needed to give himself a chance to change. Even though he knew it wouldn't work, he wanted to give it a shot.
She helped him into the car and sat down next to him.
They kept quiet along the way.
For Martina, it was enough to sit with Manuel, even if they did not talk to each other.
The car arrived at its destination. Martina helped him to his home. Although Manuel's face was cold and blank, he did not refuse.
Martina wondered if this was her chance.
He used to be keeping a good distance from her.
Heart beating fast, she walked into his house and helped him to the sofa in the living room.
"Thank you," Manuel said.
That was obviously what people would say when they were seeing off a guest.
But Martina didn't want to leave. Now she wanted to get more since she noticed the subtle change in Manuel's attitude.
She could not control herself any longer.
"Manuel, I know you got divorced." She continued, "Now that you're done with her, can I be with you?"
Manuel said, "No, you can't."
"But I love you, so much."
"I don't love you."
"
"I don't need your love. Besides, you never gave me a chance, how do you know you can't fall in love with me? There are only unknown feelings between you and Susan because you used to live together. You have never been with other women. If you give me the chance to live with you, we will fall in love, I am sure of that."
"No." His tone was not bad, but the words could break her heart.
Again and again, he gave a firm refusal.
"I won't give up. I will get you, I will!" Martina said with passion. As she spoke, her eyes turned red.
Manuel kept a blank expression on his face. But in fact, he was a little touched.
He was touched not because of his feelings for Martina, but to think of himself once so humble in front of Susan.
Martina was quite arrogant, but she was so weak and pitiful in front of him. She somehow reminded him of himself in the past.
He wouldn't give her a good answer, since he didn't want the same thing to happen to her.
Martina was heartbroken as she saw Manuel was so aloof.
She turned to leave but suddenly stopped.
She said, "I don't care what will you think of me. I can only use the simplest way to get your attention."
Then he saw her taking off her clothes.
