Starting With A Divorce Chapter 184

Chapter 184 The Strange Photo

On Green Road, Ainsley was walking under the shade of trees. There was a villa there, which was once her parents’ home. But after her parents died, she never came here again. There was nobody in the villa.

She didn’t like staying alone in an empty villa. It just made her feel suffocated.

The door squeaked open. As soon as the door opened, the thick dust instantly rose like fog, which made Ainsley cough.

Just then, the light came in, and the whole living room was hazy and dusty. Apart from dust, the room was filled with all kinds of damp and musty smells.

Seeing the beige curtains, she recalled the memory of her mother. When she returned home from school, she threw herself into her mother’s arms, and then hugged her father’ after he got off work.

But it was all in the past. Now, she was alone.

If her father was still alive, when Cason divorced her, she would cry in his arms.

She went to the utility room, where she kept her old things.

In the room where she used to live, there were still heavy books on the bookcase by the window. She took one casually. It was The Little Prince.

She clung to her mother to read it to her for several days when she was a child. It was

her favorite book before.

Looking through those books again, the memories of the past flooded into her mind, as if everything had not left, as before.

When she picked up a book again, a photo fell down.

She bent down to pick up the photo. When she saw the photo, she was stunned.

In the photo, she was a smiling little girl, and there was a girl smiling beside her. It was

Serina.

The time was not written in the photo. She had no impression of the photo, but she was sure that she had changed.

In the past, she was outgoing and cheerful, and she liked to smile all the time. But she didn’t know when she had changed. Did she change after falling in love with Cason or after the divorce? She didn’t know it.

She thought of what Serina had said to her when she was in treatment with her before. She discussed the memory disorder with Mollie and Zane for a long time, but it was not true. What Serina said was a fact.

“When did I meet Serina? How many years ago?” Ainsley thought.

She stared at the photo and pressed it hard with her fingertips. She felt a splitting headache as if countless ants were biting her brain.

She took out her phone and called Serina. “Are you free now? I want to see you.”

In the coffee shop near Green Road, Ainsley handed a photo to Serina. “Look.”

Serina picked up the photo curiously and looked at Ainsley in disbelief. “When did we

take the photo?”

“I found this when I went back to my old villa. Since I married Cason, I have never lived

there.” Ainsley’s expression was complicated.

“So, this photo was there for at least three years?” Serina felt incredible.

Ainsley nodded. She didn’t know it. If there was a problem with her memory, Serina

should remember it a little.

At least she would have had a little emotional reaction when she saw this photo, but she

didn’t. Besides, she and Serina had known each other for less than a year. How could

they take the photo three years ago?

Ainsley pondered for a moment and said, “You subconsciously said something before, I

thought you misremembered it

Serina shook her head and said, “I have no impression.”

For the first time, Ainsley doubted herself. She even wondered if there was a problem with her memory. But there was no memory, and she couldn’t find any gaps.

Serina added two pieces of sugar to the coffee. Seeing Ainsley’s pale face, she couldn’t help but ask, “You really broke up with Manuel?”

Ainsley gave a wry smile. “Mr. Gage and Ms. Wade are childhood sweethearts, so I bless them have a good life.”

“That’s not true!” Serina said excitedly, “Don’t misunderstand. My brother doesn’t have that kind of relationship with Irene. He doesn’t like her.”

“I heard that Koen has already started discussing with Cody. Irene told me.” Ainsley couldn’t help but think of what Irene had said to her that day, and what she saw at the

entrance of the club.

Serina shook her head. “My grandpa never said anything about the relationship between my brother and Irene. He has always respected my brother’s choice. I only know that my

brother likes you.”

Ainsley laughed at himself. “Since Koen respects his choice, why would he do such a

thing?”

She didn’t know what Manuel was trying to hide and didn’t want to know.

After she and Serina were kidnapped, he was staying with Irene.

When she went to the hospital because of her physical pain, she saw him with Irene.

When she was worried about him and went to meet him at the club, she only saw him.

taken away by Irene. Everything hurt her deeply. Since Koen did not force him, that was Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

his own idea.

Serina tried to explain it, but she didn’t know how to say it. Since Manuel liked Ainsley,

why did he do things that hurt her?

“My brother really likes you.” She could only repeat it. She could see it and feel it.

Ainsley said with a smile. It’s meaningless to say these things now. It doesn’t matter what happens to your brother and me. We are still good friends.”

“Right!” Serina nodded.

After sending Serina back, she had just returned to Matteo’s house when she saw Manuel’s car at the gate.

She got out of the car. Manuel was leaning on the car door and smoking. When he saw Ainsley, he quickly put out the cigarette. “Aisy.”

Ainsley gave him a cold look. She ignored him and walked upstairs.

After entering the room, she turned on the light. She could see Manuel through the window. He was leaning against the black Cayenne and lighting another cigarette.

The sporadic light of the cigarette was conspicuous in the dark. She held back the pain in her heart and closed the curtains.

From the moment when she said these decisive words in St. Nork, they no longer had anything to do with each other.

The next day, when she went to work, Raymond gave her a commendation meeting for her. The University of Washington hadn’t got this kind of honor in recent years. They really needed a trophy with great honor to prove their strength.

Back in the consulting room, Ainsley sat in her seat. This feeling was very strange as if she hadn’t been back for a long time.

She took out the photo from her bag and put it on the table. It was the photo with Serina.

She turned on the computer and wanted to send Mollie an email to inquire about the

situation.

The psychologists were incapable of treating themselves. Seeing this photo, she didn’t know if she had lost her memory or had relapsed.

While she was dealing with the recent backlog of documents, Raymond walked in with

someone.

“Mr. Gage wants to consult about psychological problems.” Raymond felt strange, he thought, “Aren’t these two friends? Why did Manuel find me?”

Ainsley was stunned, watching Manuel sit down.

He was brought in by Raymond. She couldn’t refuse him.
