Revenge On Her Ex After Rebirth
Chapter 576 Misunderstanding

Chapter 576 Misunderstanding

Susan found it harder to calm herself after Henry left.

She seemed to be agitated about something.

Tossing and turning, she finally sat up on the bed and reached out for her phone unconsciously. But she found it had been taken away by Martina.

Henry told her to call him if she was scared but he knew that she'd lost her phone.

Susan bit her lips, wondering if Henry loved and deserved her. She told herself not to overthink it. Then she got dressed and left home.

Actually, she was still in a panic but somehow, she went out in the middle of the night, and she even drove by herself. The car had been in the garage for a long time.

She sat down on the driving seat, took a deep breath, started the car and stepped on it. She had to talk to Manuel to figure it out.

She was driving at an average speed, and her heart kept beating very fast. Susan parked the car and went up to Manuel's apartment. Staring at the door, she suddenly felt like chickening out. Nervous, she wanted nothing but the truth.

She was supposed to pay him back or thank him appropriately if he had saved her tonight. She would drag herself out of the wishful thinking if it wasn't him.

Susan took a deep breath and finally input the password. But it said wrong. Manuel had changed the password. Susan didn't feel hurt but she got complicated feelings in mind. Then she rang the doorbell.

It rang several times but nobody came to open the door.

Was Manuel still out? Or, did Manuel have anything to do with that explosive sound? Was he in danger or injured?

A sudden fear freaked her out, and her face turned deadly pale.

At that moment, the door was abruptly open, and Manuel stood there with an impatient face.

She wasn't welcomed here, Susan thought.

She got stunned for a second and couldn't say a word for a long while.

"What's the matter?" Manuel said lightly and broke the silence first.

"You were home?" Susan came back to earth and asked.

"Any problem?"

"You've been home all the time?" Susan asked again.

"Yeah."

"Did you..."

"What do you want?" Manuel said impatiently.

Susan bit her lips. In her eyes, Manuel was always so cold to her.

"I think you've met me tonight." Susan was a little upset.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Manuel said coldly, "It's late. I must go to bed."

"Wasn't it you tonight?" asked Susan. Somehow, her eyes were red with tears and she even didn't know what the disappointment was for. She just felt so bad.

"Did you have a nightmare?" Manuel raised his eyebrows slightly.

Susan simply stared at him. Before she could say anything, Manuel blurted out, "You've come to the wrong place. Henry doesn't live here."

Susan looked at him without a blink and saw how little he cared about her.

His attitude to her showed everything. It couldn't be him who had come to save her life tonight, since the man in her mind wasn't as cold and heartless as him. She must have made a mistake. Manuel put on a straight face and looked at her facial expressions carelessly. Susan seemed to have got nothing to say. So he said bluntly, "I must sleep now."

Saying it, he was about to close the door. But Susan stopped it while it was closing, with her hand caught in the door. It hurt so much that she even cried.

Manuel took his hand off the door immediately. He then looked at her red and swollen hand, looking kind of worried.

"It's late. Can you drive me home?" Susan swallowed the pain and said.

"Can't you go back by yourself since you've come here on your own?" Manuel held back his emotions and said.

"No," Susan stressed the word.

"You can call Henry."

"I don't have my phone."

"I can call him for you..."

"Tell me. Did you call Henry and tell him to save me earlier tonight?" Susan said bluntly. She just wanted to confirm it was Manuel. She had a strong feeling that it was Manuel. Meanwhile, Manuel was in silence.

Desperate, Susan couldn't understand why Manuel would have refused to admit it.

Was he afraid she would bother him for the rest of his life?

But she just wanted to pay him back. She hated to owe a favour to anybody.

Manuel remained silent for a moment, while Susan simply kept looking at him, hoping to hear a positive answer from his mouth.

"No," Manuel said neatly and clearly.

Susan was lost for words. She suddenly laughed, with tears in her eyes.

Manuel seemed calm to see Susan's mood swings, and said, "Hold on. Let me get dressed and drive you home."

So, he'd like to compromise to drive her home rather than admit he was the one who had saved her life tonight.

In tears, Susan watched him turn around and go into the room. She stared at his back, getting helpless.

Anyhow, she plucked up the courage to run after him. She had thought of doing it in the warehouse tonight. She had no idea why Manuel had left her, but she just wanted to hug him and feel the warmth in his

arms.

However, Susan was suddenly frozen.

She found a woman lying in his king-size bed. Glued to the spot, Susan looked at the woman under the blanket with her bare arms out. She must be naked, Susan thought. And the woman was nobody else but Tia, the young servant who she had hired when she just married Manuel.

She'd ask Justine to hire a young and pretty servant since she intended to create some chances for Manuel to have an affair with Tia. And she'd got what she wanted now. Out of her expectation, Manuel had started an intimate relationship with Tia after she broke up with him and moved out. She thought he'd been single.

She once thought Manuel would be with Martina, but not with Tia. To give it a second thought, Manuel was really nice to Tia in the first place. He would teach her with patience no matter what she wanted to learn. The two of them spent lots of time together, and it was reasonable that they fell in love with each other and started a relationship.
