After Reborn, I Become a Billionaire

Chapter 232 Don't Touch Me

Chapter 232 Don’t Touch Me

“Give me your hand.” Manuel spoke to Susan in a very gentle voice. Susan bit her lip. She didn’t want

to give her hand to him.

Although she was slightly touched the moment he called her, it couldn’t beat her great hatred for him.

They were obviously in a stalemate. Manuel explained, “I’m on crutches, so I can’t hold your hand”

Susan took another look at Manuel. Then she reached out her hand. It was absolutely not because she

felt sorry for him. She was just unwilling to waste any time, and didn’t want those people to laugh at

her.

Manuel seemed to have let out a long sign of relief. He was nervous, but he just wouldn’t let anyone

find out. He gently put the ring on Susan’s ring finger.

Manuel bought these rings himself. He didn’t know the finger size of Susan, so he just estimated it

based on his intuition. Unexpectedly, it perfectly fitted her finger. Susan even doubted whether Manuel

had measured her finger size before when she didn’t notice. Otherwise how could it fit just well?

“Susan, it’s your turn.” Manuel reminded her.

“I know. I just don’t want to do it.” Susan would absolutely not admit that she was absent-minded just

now. Manuel pursed his lips and no longer urged her.

It was the priest who couldn’t help but remind her, “Miss Phillips, please put the wedding ring on the

groom’s ring finger.” Only then did Susan took the wedding ring and put it on Manuel’s ring finger with a

reluctance.

Seeing this pair of wedding rings, she would throw it away right after the ceremony, she thought.

Then she heard the priest say excitedly. “I now pronounce Mrs Johnson and Mr Johnson husband and

wife. You may kiss your bride now!” There was a burst of applause in the venue again, Manuel was

actually trying to control his emotions. He naturally moved his walking stick and got closer to Susan,

trying hard to act natural.

“Don’t touch me.” Susan said in a cold voice.

Manuel stopped when his lips were only 0.01 centimeters away from hers. They were so close to each

other that as long as he got closer, his lips would touch hers. And they would share a kiss.

Manuel moved back.

Looking from afar, they seemed to be kissing. However, guests nearest to them could see clearly that

Manuel wasn’t really kissing Susan.

Manuel stood erect.

And the priest declared the end of the “wedding ceremony”. All the guests followed the working staff

and left. So did Harrison. She just turned to take a look at the new couple on the stage.

Obviously, Manuel’s doctor was beside him. Now, the doctor was helping Manuel sit in the wheelchair.

This must be the best Manuel could do.

Harrison and Oscar left.

At the same time, Manuel and Susan got into a black car. They were not heading straight to the

banquet hall. Instead, the car took them to the marriage registration office. Only then did Susan realize

that they hadn’t registered yet. Legally speaking, they were not a legal couple at present. Gritting her

teeth, she didn’t give herself the time to hesitate, and bravely just walked in.

They had made reservations in advance, so they didn’t have to wait in line. Both of them submitted Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.

their valid papers.

With two sounds, their marriage certificates got a stamp. Then, two marriage certificates were placed in

front of them, one for each person.

Susan didn’t want to take it at all.

“It’s useful in getting a divorce.” said Manuel.

Right after that, she took it without hesitation. It was all because of the word ‘divorce’.

The woman who helped them register was obviously stunned. She looked at the bride, and then turned

to look at the groom.

The bride had an obviously reluctant face and a childish temper, while the groom was smiling slightly.

Anyone with eyes could see that the groom loved the bride deeply.

After getting the marriage certificates, they two got back into the car.

It was still quiet in the car.

Susan wouldn’t take the initiative to talk to Manuel and neither would Manuel. They were like two

strangers. Sooner or later, they would split up. Soon, they arrived at the five-star resort hotel where the

golf course was located. Before they headed to the banquet hall, they went to their separate dressing

rooms to get changed.

Susan really didn’t want to change her clothes. Just when she was about to give orders to the working

staff, she saw Harrison waiting for her in the dressing room.

Susan was a little speechless, “Why don’t you accompany Oscar but stay here?”

“I’m here to make sure you get changed.” Anyway, Harrison knew what she wanted to do.

Harrison asked the working staff to help Susan change her clothes.

Seeing that she didn’t resist, Harrison finally said, “I’m going to check on Manuel.”

“There’s no need for you to check on him!” Susan was unhappy about this.

But Harrison had already gone out of the room. She went to Manuel’s dressing room which was across

the hallway. She knocked on the door and it was Justine who opened it.

Harrison was polite to Justine, “Hello, Justine.”

Justine was quite nice to Harrison.

To be precise, she was nice to everyone, and she was actually not bad to Susan. It was just that Susan

had always disliked her. And she wouldn’t allow herself to be too humble in front of Susan. Therefore,

she was a little cold to Susan. Of course, there was no way she could be enthusiastic about Susan. If

she did so, Susan would probably pour cold water on her.

“I’m here to meet Manuel.”

“He’s in there.” Justine hurriedly let her in.

As soon as Harrison entered the room, she saw Manuel being put on a drip. In addition to that, the

doctor was setting his leg.

He sustained a dislocation in his originally fragile bone after he forced himself to stand up just now.

“I’m fine.” Seeing Harrison, Manuel explained in a hurry, “My mom is worried, so she asks the doctor to

check my leg.”

The doctor took a look at Manuel. The expression on the doctor’s face showed that Manuel was lying.

“Then just continue. I’d like to talk to your mom.” Harrison decided not to disturb Manuel first.

She always had a feeling that Manuel did not want others to see him when he was weak.

“Come here and sit.” Hearing that Harrison would like to talk to her, Justine hurriedly asked Harrison to

sit on the sofa.

They sat next to each other. The distance between them was neither too far nor too close. In fact, when

Harrison was a child, she was influenced by Susan a lot, which meant that she wouldn’t allow herself to

like someone Susan disliked, for example, Susan’s father, stepmother and even Manuel. For a long

time, she disliked them all. When she was at an age where she could tell right from wrong, she still

unconsciously tried to stay away from them.

If she hadn’t been reborn, she wouldn’t know how stupid she had been in the past. She used to almost

completely treat all the good people as bad guys and she used to foolishly treat all the bad guys as

nice people.

“Justine, I’d like to talk to you about Susan.” Harrison directly came to the point.

Justine seemed to have anticipated this. She sighed slightly, “Susan’s a good child. Actually, I know

that.”
