In the afternoon, everyone left to shop at the market for the things they would need in the kitchen for a month. Inside the grocery store, Irene couldn’t help but be distracted by Manuel because of his actions.
By his tall demeanor on her side, people who were asking, speaking to, approaching, or even standing by her would get scared away whenever they saw him. Even when they were eating at a fast-food restaurant, his guard was always up. Glaring at people who give a glance or stare at her, which m
Chapter 16 Latent Jealousy On the second day, Micheal visited again. As usual, they hang out, watch movies and eat some takeouts. Meanwhile, Manuel was busy making a Graham cake in the kitchen. All of a sudden, his phone buzzed, and he instantly answered it when he saw the caller ID. “Boss.”
Chapter 17 His Admiration Morning came, and Jaden was already waiting in front of the gate. Manuel and Irene made their way to the front gate and waved goodbye to Kim, who was just leaning over at the doorway while holding a cup of coffee.

When Jaden spotted Manuel, he stole the pillow that Micheal used as a backrest and threw the thing at Manuel. Meanwhile, Micheal was startled when Jaden swiftly snatched his pillow from that, causing him to drop his phone in his lap. In a flash, Irene was taken by surprise when a pillow passed by her and Manuel catches it with his face. “What the… Manuel, are you ok?”
