Chapter 1647 Be patient, today we will celebrate your coming of age
Manuel prepared a gift in advance.
After making sure a couple of times that everything was okay, he came to the party.
When he found out that Angelica was still upstairs doing her makeup, he decided to wait for her downstairs. Eventually, Fiona and her mother asked him to go upstairs and take care of her.
Manuel didn’t like the idea at first, well, what was he going to do in his room? So I didn’t agree with it. But his mother kept insisting, saying:
“What are you ashamed of? You grew up together, what’s wrong with seeing her make up?”
Fiona smiled like a flower, “Yes, yes, Serena is right, it’s just makeup, it’s no big deal, if you go up now, he’ll probably be done, so you’ll be the first to see him.”
The first …
Manuel was very touched, and eventually succumbed to the persuasion of the two women.
He did not expect what he saw.
The girl threw herself into his arms and wept uncontrollably. Tears flowed as if someone had turned on a faucet, Manuel’s shirt soaked.
Manuel remained motionless, stunned. He never seemed to cry so bitterly. Even the last time she was hurt didn’t measure up to today. I had the feeling that she had been hurt a lot.
The makeup artist and the assistant took a look at this scene and thought, “It’s over, it’s over, this makeup will definitely have to be reapplied, forget about it, it’s not easy to hold so far, it’s better to cry.
If he doesn’t cry, how will he get through the rest of the day?
Angelica continued to cry so hard that she was breathless and could not utter a word. As soon as she heard Manuel’s voice, she took her breath away and her emotions were completely out of control. Everything collapsed.
Manuel did not know what to say. He simply put his hand on the girl’s back, stroking gently, and without saying a word, listening to her cry.
Some time passed and Angelica’s crying gradually subsided. Because of the loud sobs, her body continued to shake slightly, making Manuel’s heart clench.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
After a while, the makeup artist stepped forward and whispered, “Miss Angelica, we need to reapply makeup, the party … will start soon.”
As soon as the voice subsided, footsteps were heard below, someone went to hurry them up.
Angelica was suffocating in Manuel’s arms, he held her tightly by the waist
without moving.
No need to reapply, suddenly a calm voice of Manuel sounded.
The makeup artist looked at Angelica and saw that she had not moved, presumably agreeing with Manuel.
“You guys go out, I’ll take care of it.”
“All right then.”
After all, it was someone else’s family business and the makeup artist was only responsible for coming to do the makeup, there was no reason to interfere with anything else.
Soon everyone withdrew, leaving Manuel and Angelica alone in the room.
“Everyone’s gone, it’s just us left.”
Manuel leaned over and wiped the remaining tears from her face, then touched her sobbing, distraught eyes, “Can you tell me what happened?”
“Manuel …” Angelica spoke again with a sobbing tone in her voice, as if she was about to cry in the next moment.
Manuel interrupted her, ” – Okay, don’t say anything, I will ask you, and you answer by nodding or if not, then shake your head.
Angelica nodded.
” – Do you still want to celebrate your coming of age?
Angelica had no desire now. The happiest day for her suddenly lost all its charm. She did not expect that this day would turn into such pain for her.
But everyone had put so much effort into her coming-of-age ceremony, and if she had not participated, wouldn’t it have been a waste of everyone’s energy?
For this reason, Angelica hesitated a little.
” – If you don’t want to celebrate, I can help you.
Don’t think about the guests, leave everything to me.”
Angelica was still undecided, if she allowed Manuel to help her, he would take all the blame on himself. While refusing to celebrate a birthday is no big deal, he didn’t want other people talking bad behind their backs.
After a while, Angelica showed her head.
Won’t you? Won’t you leave? Are you going to stay? Manuel asked.
Angelica nodded.
Then he took a deep breath, finally adjusted himself and raised his head to meet Manuel’s eyes”-Manuel, I will stay.
Everyone put so much effort into celebrating this day. Also, the designer designed a beautiful dress for me stitch by stitch. I can’t let everything be in vain because of my condition.”
After all, she is today’s protagonist, if it were someone else, it would be fine, but today’s party is for her, today is her first day of adulthood, if she runs away from the slightest thing and is afraid to face it, then how will she behave like an adult.
Let this be the first test of his adult life!
Angelica bit her lower lip, she still felt like crying a little when she thought of Livia, she really did not understand why their relationship had turned into this.
“Good.” Manuel respected her decision. He raised his hand and stroked her head, “My little girl has become quite an adult, she takes all the responsibility on herself.
His? His little girl?
Angelica became angry when she heard his words. But now was not the time to be sad, so she quietly turned to Manuel: ” Manuel, I’m going to wash my face, can you call the makeup artists for me? …”
“Of course, we will do everything in time. Do you think there are things I couldn’t handle? Manuel patted Angelica on the head, go ahead. I’ll take care of everything and you’ll get ready for now.
Thank you!
After Manuel left, Angelica went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water.
Although the weather is no longer so cold, but the winter frost has not yet receded. So the cold water at this time was very invigorating. After washing, the girl in a few moments was shivering with cold.
He took a washcloth and wiped the excess water from his face, then rubbed his eyes and went out.
The makeup artist and assistant returned, both a little nervous when they saw her, not knowing what to say.
” I apologize for making you so uncomfortable,” Angelica apologized to them, continuing in a gentle voice-“let’s start over.
Looking at the girl’s pain-filled eyes, the makeup artist nodded.
All right. Let’s start over, but we won’t apply the same makeup. Your eyes are red, so we will paint you slightly differently.
Angelica smiled faintly:
– If this allows me to go out in normal form to guests, then I agree to everything.
All right.
Previously, he wanted to grow as quickly as possible. But now he realized that the price of growth was very high.
The makeup artist and assistant were on hand and soon finished the basic makeup for Angelica, followed by the make-up.
