Her Second Marriage With Mr. Cristian

Afterwards, the two slipped from the top bunk and squatted down next to Pacino.

“Dude, what’s going on?

You are talking nonsense in front of brother Manuel , are you really not afraid of being beaten?”

“If he was afraid he wouldn’t have said anything, wasn’t he beaten?

Does it hurt?”

At this point, one of them went to touch the corner of Pacino’s mouth, only for Pacino to half sit down.

“Brother?”

“Why no reaction?

Did you get punched, stupid?”

They hit Pacino’s mouth again, but still no response, so they kept hitting and prodding.

Pacino finally cursed through gritted teeth, “Have you two had enough?

You have to poke me, don’t you?

Even though my heart hurts more now, I’m still a flesh and blood body, can you poke me somewhere else?”

For some reason, even though Pacino looked sad at that moment, the two housemates could not help but hold their stomachs and laugh after hearing his complaint.

“Pacino, can you stop being so funny, shouldn’t you say at this point that your heart is dead and you can’t feel any pain anywhere else but your heart?”

“Yes, yes, what are you really saying your wounds hurt.”

Pacino looked at the two damaged roommates and shouted, “Get out of here!”

The pain in the corner of his mouth made him wince and suck in his breath.

Pacino was so angry that he kicked one of them.Text © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Don’t tell anyone about this night, I’m drunk and I’m talking nonsense.”

“If you know you’re talking nonsense, why are you still so stubborn?

At this point, Pacino became silent, and his eyes darkened with seriousness.

“I don’t regret saying those things.”

There were things that had to be said in the light of day, and feelings like that had to be made clear, and they could not remain ambiguous.

He could keep it out of Angelica’s face, he just had to keep it nice and simple, but why shouldn’t Manuel do it?

Pacino just wanted to make everything clear!

Late at night Manuel leaned in a secluded spot at the school gate, his hands in his pockets, his back against the wall panel, his gaze deep in front of him.

He wanted to go outside for a breath of fresh air and ended up here without realizing it.

With the words still ringing in his ears, Manuel’s mind was in turmoil.

He had never thought about it in the past, much less now, but why did it always cause misunderstandings?

It was not the first time Pacino had said that.

He stood in front of the school for a long time before leaving.

The next day Pacino woke up and felt pain in his mouth when he moved it, and when he saw that his jaw was all swollen, he hissed a few times and looked at Manuel and said, “Manuel, can you be a little more gentle next time?”

Manuel looked at him coldly and did not answer.

“Manuel? I’m serious.”

Finally Manuel looked at him, “What are you trying to say, you didn’t drink today, if you keep talking nonsense again I might beat you until you can’t get up.”

“- Okay, you didn’t hit me enough yesterday, if you want to hit me, then hit me, because in any case for Angelica’s sake I won’t resist, right?”

Manuel stared at him in silence.

“Today I want the truth, do you like Angelica or not?”

Manuel frowned, slightly offended.

“I know you don’t like to hear it, but for Angelica’s sake, I feel I have to ask.”

“Does this have anything to do with her?”

“Of course it does.”

For the first time Pacino felt unreasonable and selfish.

“I mean if Angelica likes you, if … you never get a girlfriend, will she continue to pin her hopes on you?”

The comment left Manuel slightly stunned.

“What did you say?”

“-Don’t blame me for being selfish, if you are interested in her, then maybe you will never get a girlfriend. If not, then maybe you should try to find a girl, at least it will allow her not to look at you alone forever. Real, not real – any girl will do, you just need Angelica to know you have a girlfriend.”

Manuel Calligaris: “?”

“Pacino, are you out of your mind?”

“No. Didn’t you say yesterday that she depended on you?

What if she couldn’t tell the difference between pleasure and dependence?”

Pacino looked at him with a serious expression: ”

, – So you have to find out, if her feelings toward you are just dependence, then the situation should change.”

There was silence as they stared at each other for a long moment before Manuel sneered, “- So you want me to find a girlfriend?”

“Do you think I’m forcing you?

If Angelica were interested in you, would you be able to give her an answer?

And if you can’t, shouldn’t you do something about it?”

Manuel did not answer again.

“The school girl chased you, Angelica has already met her, maybe you can ask her for help, you don’t have to date the school girl, you just have to tell Angelica that the school girl is your girlfriend.”

Manuel : “…” “I have nothing more to say, what you do is up to you.”

Pacino stood up and his eyes fell on Manuel’s face .

“- I might not be with Angelica, and even if she never loves me in her life – that’s fine, but I can’t see her suffering from unrequited love. Manuel, if you even have some ‘sympathy’ for her, at least you should change something.”

After Pacino left, Manuel sat alone for a long time, so long that the other two roommates could no longer pretend to be asleep and scratched themselves under the covers.

“‘Okay, get out already,’ said Manuel disgruntled, ‘don’t suffocate there.’

Two roommates came out from under the covers, their faces slightly depressed. Why is it that whenever these people talk, they make sure to choose the time when they are in the room. Why don’t they communicate in their absence?

“Manuel, we didn’t want to eavesdrop on purpose.”

“I know.”

“Manuel, there is something I don’t know if I should say.”

“What?”

“Actually, when that girl came that day … at first we thought she was your real sister, so we didn’t think much about it until Pacino told us later that she wasn’t your real sister.”

“So?”

“That girl looked at you a little differently.”

“We were just saying what we thought, nothing more.”

Hearing this, Manuel fell silent.

” So even though Pacino’s words are really a bit selfish, he is speaking correctly.”

“- Are you saying I have to deceive her?”

Manuel half-closed his thin lips, realizing that he could not do that.
