Chapter 1668 – They don’t like me
” I will not shut up. On the contrary, I will tell you everything, Pacino did not stop, and without stopping he said something to Manuel. ” I tell you for a fact that this is the best way to test your feelings for a girl. If you just treat her like a sister, then you will never want to kiss her, right? And if you really like her, then you constantly want to hug and kiss her, and not only that.
Suddenly, there was a sound of sharp brakes, and the car suddenly stopped.
“That’s enough!” Manuel shouted with a grim face.
Pacino saw that his friend was really angry, so he did not dare to continue the conversation and did not finish the sentence. At that moment, Manuel had mixed feelings. After calming down a bit, he continued driving. And even though he remained silent all the way through, he realized more and more that Pacino was right. This method was the most reliable way to test feelings. Thinking about it, he wondered if it wouldn’t be dishonest for Angelica if he couldn’t actually kiss her,
After all, he is not a robot to test
his feelings about her. And if she doesn’t control him.
With these thoughts, Manuel drove all the way until they arrived at the supermarket. Then they went in together. They just needed to buy some of the right ingredients for the dumplings.Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
” There is still some pasta left over from last time, so we just need meat and something for the filling.”
Pacino’s hands flew as he grabbed many things and shoved them into the shopping cart, quickly buying everything and then going to pay the bill.
“Does aunt like dumplings?” asked Manuel, probably trying to lighten the mood.
“They don’t like it, it’s just a way to distract you and me.”
So he returned to the subject: ” – But she loves Angelica very much and dreams of becoming her daughter-in-law. You’ve probably noticed that.
” – This is almost impossible, Manuel said bluntly.
Pacino immediately changed his face upon hearing these words.
– Could you express your thoughts more tactfully? I already know that Angelica is in love with you, but that is no reason to show off like this now.
“Pacino.
Manuel stopped in his tracks and looked at him for the first time with such serious eyes.
– What? Why were you suddenly staring at me so much? You don’t have to tell me how much you like it. That’s not what I meant.
-Then stop joking about it.
Pacino froze.
“I know how much you like Angelica, and I don’t want to touch your wounds on purpose. Stay away from her if you can’t take those feelings anymore.
Staying away?
To be away from Angelica means to stop seeing her. Then she will no longer have to think all day about the fact that she loves another person, and not you. This is undoubtedly a good way to forget him. However, he will suffer greatly if she disappears from his sight.
Pacino could accept that she was in love with Manuel, but it was beyond his strength to stop communicating with her completely.
– I can’t, Pacino shook his head, rejecting his friend’s offer. Don’t worry, I’m not as weak as you think. I can take it. Let’s go soon, it’s time to go home, having said that, Pacino quickly went to the exit, and Manuel, in silence, followed him.
Hospital.
Since the two had left, Gina had taken Angelica’s hand; her tone was especially gentle.
“Angelica, you came of age this year, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“I thought I was a little girl when I met you, but now all these years have passed and the little girl has become a big girl.”
Talking about those days, Gina sighed with admiration. Back then, this little girl was chubby and her eyes were as bright as stars, and she had grown fond of Angelica at that time.
But she was concerned that Pacino’s vision might be different from hers, that she might like Angelica but Pacino might not.
She never thought that Pacino’s eyes and preferences were exactly the same as hers. Knowing her son, Gina understood after seeing the way her son looked at Angelica a few times.
“Well girl, do you have a boyfriend now that you are in school?”
Angelica did not expect Gina to ask this question out of the blue; her cheeks flushed slightly and she shook her head.
“Why are you so shy when I ask? Now you’ve grown up, it’s time for you to have a boyfriend.”
Hearing the question about the boy, Angelica immediately had the image of Manuel in her head, but she could not admit it to Pacino’s mother, she only said, “Auntie, I think I am still young, there is no hurry.”
” – Yet, you are eighteen years old. So, it’s time to start dating. After all, you won’t know if someone is right for you until you try.
Angelica answered nothing, but Gina did not change the subject, dreaming of taking her to her son.
“Angelica, can I ask you a question?”
“Yes, absolutely.”
“What do you think of Pacino?”
“What?” Angelica froze, not quite understanding the meaning of Gina’s words.
Auntie likes you very much, she thinks a girl like you is very rare, and she has known you since you were a child. And you know Pacino. He, though a talker, is still a very calm and nice guy. Not
never brought a girl home indiscriminately, and even if he did, you are the only one.”
Hearing these words, Angelica immediately understood what Gina was talking about. She also suddenly guessed why, under the pretext of making ravioli, she sent her son and Manuel home.
She was a little agitated and her voice weakened a few notches.
“Auntie, Pacino and I are very good friends.”
“Auntie knows.” Gina laughed slightly, “That’s why I wanted to ask you, how do you feel about the transition from best friends to romance?”
Angelica: “I …”
“Don’t be afraid girl, aunt likes you very much and she would like to have you as her daughter-in-law, my son, as you should see, likes you very much too.”
At those words, Angelica’s brain was confused and she was a little overwhelmed by the reaction.
“Does Pacino like me?”
Is it true? So, last time her basketball camp friends were right. But after all, she herself asked Pacino about this, but he denied everything. Why, then, does her mother say this?
“Can’t you see it?” Noticing Angelica’s reaction, he asked.
He is crazy about you. And for many years now. I have never seen my son treat a girl the same way he treats you.
Angelica was speechless.
A moment later, she explained in a whisper, ”
-Zia, you are most likely wrong. He and I are really just friends. Besides, we have already discussed this with him. He doesn’t like me, Angelica finally said after a while.
“What?” It was something Gina hadn’t thought about, “Did he say he doesn’t like you?”
Angelica nodded, “Yes, aunt.”
