Chapter 104

• MANUEL'S POV
• Why was she acting in a confusing manner now? I felt like we were finally getting on a mutual ground, but she was making me rethink my assumptions now. I walked away from the door that I had stood by, for some minutes, even after I walked out of the room. I could still hear her crying and it only disturbed me all the more. Should I go back inside and try to make her feel better? What was I supposed to do, when she didn't even want to see my face? Was I beginning to irritate her? I wasn't the kind of guy that cared the way I was currently doing, but this woman just had a way of making me act out of line. Releasing a low sigh, I took slow but long strides to the living room. When I got there, mom was busy speaking to my father about what I wasn't sure of. When she noticed my presence, she looked up at me in suprise. What was so surprising now?
