Starting with A Divorce novel (Ainsley and Cason)
Chapter 106

Chapter 106 Manuel's Name

*Cason, what are you doing here?" Kaliyah, shocked, hurried to help Cason up.

Her husband knocking on another woman's door in front of her was a great humiliation for her.

"I'm not leaving." Cason reeked of alcohol, and his cheek flushed red. But yet, he refused to leave.

"This is Ms Easton's place. Sober up " Kaliyah lowered her voice.

But since Cason was tall and heavy, and he was clinging on to Ainsley's door, Kaliyah simply couldn't support his body

Soon, Kaliyah loosened her grip on him through a lack of strength, which made Cason fall heavily onto the ground. But Cason did not wake up because of that. Instead, he kept muttering, "Ainsley, open the door! Open the door!"

"Cason! Take a good look at me! I'm Kaliyah!' Kaliyah's voice grew louder as she looked at him coldly.

Obviously, it was no use talking with a drunkard.

Cason ignored Kaliyah and kept banging on the door as he called out Ainsley's name.

At the sight of what Cason was doing, Kaliyah called to mind how Cason used to call her and cry out her name like crazy before when

he was drunk. It seemed that the more one cared, the more irrational he or she would become.

Kaliyah looked deeply at Ainsley's door with mixed feelings. Could it be that Cason had grown to like Ainsley?

Then Kaliyah said to herself, no way! That can't be! I will never allow that to happen!

Cason divorced Ainsley for me, which satisfied me a lot. And it hasn't been long since the divorce. There is no way he would want Ainsley back!

The door creaked open, and Ainsley showed up, looking rather annoyed. "Take him away now. I can't bear it anymore, with him

knocking on my door like that. Do you want me to call the police again?"

"Ainsley! What did you do to him?" Kaliyah looked at Ainsley seriously.

"What do you mean?" Ainsley was perplexed. "He showed up on my doorstep, drunk and making a nuisance of himself. And yet I called you to pick him up instead of calling the police. What have I done wrong?"

Ainsley hated that the Baldry family kept pestering her, which was really annoying.

"Ainsley, you are divorced, and he's given you 13 million dollars in compensation. Aren't you supposed to feel satisfied with that? Moreover, you have the Gage family at your back now. Shouldn't you leave Cason alone?" Kaliyah frowned.

Ainsley sneered, "It seems that you lack confidence in yourself. You were once sitting in Cason's car, mocking me, remember? What? Now you're afraid of me?"

Ainsley found what Kaliyah said before ironic.

"Don't play dumb. You know Cason doesn't have feelings for you. Why would he pester you then? It must be you who caused all this to happen! Let me give you a word of warning. We are about to get married now. You'd better leave us alone, and try not to be a home wrecker." Kaliyah clenched her fists.

Hearing this, Ainsley burst into laughter. How ridiculous of Kaliyah!

"What are you laughing at?"

"Isn't it ridiculous? A home wrecker? Says the person who wrecked my marriage. And obviously, I'm not the one who pesters, all right? Instead of blaming me here, I suggest you replace the reason on him! If something is wrong with him, then deal with it. All I am asking is to leave me alone!" Ainsley glanced coldly at Kaliyah and returned to her house.

Before closing the door, Ainsley added, "Oh right! Don't knock on the door again. Otherwise, I will call the police, saying that you're

causing disturbances here. You know I can do it."

Bang! The door slammed shut. Ainsley even shut the peephole.

She thought, what an ***of Cason! How I wish he could vanish for good. What gets me is he, despite being the one who dumped me heartlessly in the first place, should come back to me from time to time, as i he is in love with me and I'm the one in the wrong.

Soon, the knocking faded away, followed by the sound of the elevator. It seemed like Ainsley's words just now worked. Cason had finally left

Kaliyah took Cason home and threw him on the bed.

At the thought of how she was humiliated in front of Ainsley today, Kaliyah could no longer hold back her anger

Kaliyah thought, Ainsley must be very smug right now!

Well, I won't admit defeat. Cason is mine!

A few days later, Ainsley submitted her paper to "Psychological Science" An estimated week was needed till she got the results of whether her paper would be published in the journal or not.

Then she started to doodle on a piece of paper. Noticing that a commercial popped up on the webpage, she wanted to close the

page

But Manuel appeared on the webpage the next second. He was being interviewed, looking very handsome and yet calm and

charismatic.

Ainsley called to mind what he said at the birthday party that day about him liking her.

And as she was recalling, she kept doodling subconsciously. Soon, the notebook, where she took notes before, was full of Manuel's

name.

After the interview ended, she looked down at the notebook, which made her blush right away.

At that moment, the door swung open. It was Serina.

During the last treatment, Serina fainted. But ever since then, she hadn't suffered a relapse anymore. Everything seemed to have

returned to normal like it was in the past.

Ainsley hurried to cover the notebook with her arms, but she only managed to cover part of it.

*Serina, hi! Do you feel uncomfortable today?"

"No, Ainsley. But I need your help!" Serina looked at her expectantly.

"And how can I help?" Ainsley folded the notebook and put it aside as Serina was talking.

"Ainsley, there will be a charity auction in two days. Can you come with me?" Serina said, looking sweet.

"I'm afraid I can't. People like Manuel are the ones who are welcome to a charity auction, not me." Besides, Ainsley did not have anything that was up for auction.

"Alright." Serina was a little disappointed, but she knew that Ainsley would not change her mind.

Serina stayed with Ainsley for a long time until the school bell rang. Then she walked out of the office. But at the door, she stopped and turned around. "Ainsley, I saw your notebook." Then after making a face, Serina ran off.

Ainsley unfolded the notebook again. Manuel's names were all over it. Why would she write out his name like this?

At the thought of this, Ainsley tore the sheet off and made it into a ball. But before she threw it into the trash can, she hesitated. Then

on second thought, she unfolded the sheet, smoothed out the folds, and put it into the drawer.

While she was at it, she thought, I must be crazy now...

And before she got off work, she called Cody and told him about the paper she had sent to "Psychological Science".

Hearing the news, Cody said in a gentle voice, "Psychological Science? That's a very authoritative journal. If you nail it, there will be one more teacher at the University of Washington." *Professor Wade, can I send my paper to you? Maybe you can give me some advice." Ainsley trusted Cody since he was her teacher

"Sure, email it to me then."

"Okay."

After the call with Ainsley, Cody saw that Kaitlin stil! hadn't left his office. He then asked, feeling a little annoyed, "Why are you still here?"

"Professor Wade, you shouldn't have spoken to your students like this.

Cody snorted coldly, "Kaitlin, please get out now."

It perplexed Cody a lot that Kaitlin should reach out to him and want to discuss psychology with him.

Kaitlin flew into a rage, but since Cody was a teacher, she had no choice but to leave.
