Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

On the way back, Angelica tugged at the hem of Manuel’s shirt as she walked outside, and the entire boys’ dormitory looked out to look curiously, wanting to look but fearing Manuel , so they had to hide outside the door and peek out again, looking away for a moment and then retracting.

“Hello sister~”

Some of them boldly greeted Angelica.

Angelica was too shy to greet, and her face, already sunburned, turned even whiter and redder. She gave only a polite nod, then immediately withdrew her gaze and walked behind Manuel with her head down.

“Oooh, the girl is too pretty, isn’t she?

Why don’t we have such pretty girls at the academy, going to the police academy is really miserable, dealing with a bunch of big old men every day.”

After descending the stairs and passing the guards’ room, the older man who had helped Angelica call Manuel earlier was standing at the door.

” Ah, apparently he really is your friend this time. I thought she was one of your fans. Another girl who liked you and was coming to give you a gift.”

Manuel half-closed his thin lips and then said, ” Thank you very much.”

“Eh, thank you for what, it was not easy for your sister to come here and find you, is it a ride home?”

Manuel Calligaris: “To take her back to school.”

“Okay, okay, be careful on the way then.”

“Thank you, bye.”

“Little girl, you are welcome next time you visit your brother, uncle will let you in right away.”

“Thank you.”

After that, the guard watched the two leave the school and under a large tree not far from the entrance, Manuel knelt in front of the young girl and patted her on the back, gesturing for her to get on his back.

The girl stood there squirming and shaking her head at something.

Manuel did not get up, but remained squatting there. The girl said a few more words, but then, as if she had lost to Manuel, she put her hand around his neck and climbed onto his back.

Manuel stood up with the two boxes in one hand and the girl in the other.

When she saw him, the guard shook his head.

He had seen the boy so cold and aloof before, how many girls had given him gifts and he always had the same expression on his face, but he had never imagined that he had such a caring and kind side.

Noon. Angelica lies on Manuel’s back, the blazing hot sun burning them mercilessly. Also, Manuel drags the girl on her back and after a while sweat appeared on her cheekbones. Angelica herself was a little sweaty, although not that much, her clothes became wetter because of Manuel.

Her expression changed and became strange.

She tightened her small lips, about to say something, but as soon as the words reached her lips and were about to burst out, she seemed to swallow them and returned them deep inside. While Manuel was already heading with her on his back to a relatively shady and cool place. Angelica obediently lay down on her back and in a quiet voice asked:

“Manuel, are you tired?”

Manuel didn’t even breathe, just let out a low laugh before brushing his thin lips and saying, ” – You’re not heavy at all, how can I get tired?”

“Huh? I am … heavy.”

Although she had lost some weight for some time, she was still much heavier than those thin and slender girls:

– The girls in our school, with the same height as me, seem to weigh about 45 kilograms.”

She was really embarrassed to talk about her weight, because before Angelica basically did not attach importance to it. She only started thinking about it recently, and then she found out that her weight was really in a pathetic state.

“You are not like them.” Manuel’s tone was light: “There is no need to aim for the same weight as them.”

“No, I’m not striving for that.

– I just want to lose weight, so that standing next to you we look almost the same, so that when I take a picture with you, the face would look a little ‘smaller. Angelica thought to herself.

“It’s much lighter.”

It took a long time for Manuel to say something.

After a moment’s thought, he added, “That’s right, there’s no need to lose any more.”

Angelica knew that Manuel would not lie to her, that if he said it was right, then it was right, but that it was what he thought it was and not someone else.

What he thought was right was actually a fear of hurting her and hurting her body, not an acknowledgement of her weight. Despite the fact that losing weight is a very difficult and painful process, but at the same time happy.

“Okay.” Angelica replied, quietly squeezing her hand a few notches and pressing her cheek against Manuel’s back.

Intimacy caused Manuel to slow his steps, and somewhere inside, something seemed to move. For his heart softened a little. Manuel’s thin lips curved slightly.

He said, “There are many people in this world who have different opinions, but we don’t have to worry about what they think, good or bad, you just have to listen to your heart and do what you think is right.”

“Okay.” Angelica nodded and resumed in a small voice, ” I will listen to my heart.”

If she didn’t like Manuel, she probably wouldn’t have minded too much even if Louisa had called her fat and ugly, but after Louisa did, she subconsciously felt that she was too fat to be worthy of Manuel when she was photographed with him.

“That’s fine.”

“It’s too hot today, don’t go by bus, it’s better to go by subway.”This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“All according to the brother.”

When we arrived at the subway station, the crowd grew and Angelica grabbed Manuel by the collar, “Manuel, there are too many people here, put me down.”

“You can sleep on my back.”

“But …”

“What can people say if I carry my sister on my back? Didn’t you promise your brother earlier that you would listen to your heart?

Are you sleepy and tired now, and do you care what others think?”

What a good point.

Ange found herself unable to refute it completely.

“All right then, I’ll sleep for a while, call me when you get to the station.”

“Sleep, I’m here.”

Three words were enough for Angelica to drop all her defenses and distrust.

She lay down on Manuel’s back and soon fell asleep.

Since there was a card to swipe to cross the subway station, and only one person could cross the passage, Angelica had to get off alone because she was not a child.

Manuel glanced at Angelica, who was sleeping on her back, and after a moment’s thought, woke her up.

“Angelica.”

Angelica’s eyes opened to find the people beside her watching her.

“Go downstairs and cross the hall.”

“Oh, good.”

Angelica slid off Manuel’s back and followed him through the passage.

After this, she no longer let Manuel carry her , and Manuel tried to ask the girl to get on his back again, but she would not.

He looked at her helplessly, but only for a moment, before looking away uncomfortably.

A moment later, Manuel took off the shirt jacket he was wearing.

“Put it on.”
