Chapter 194 Break a Promise

During the meal, Lainey and Roman sat down to eat, and there were many skewers and

desserts on the table.

Roman picked up an egg tart, put it down in disgust after taking a bite, and complained, “This egg tart is

too unpalatable. The tart crust is very oily, and the core is full of a raw

smell.”

Lainey rolled her eyes at him and took a bit. “I think it’s okay.”

Roman didn’t listen to her at all, and continued to complain while eating, “This barbecue

is unpalatable! The chef must not have done it well. It smells like mutton, and it has the

smell of raw meat.”

“My G*d, who made the tonkatsu. It’s so oily!”

He ate and complained. Lainey sn*tched all the food in his hand. “You can’t eat if you are

complaining. These are chefs invited by Matteo. If you don’t like it, why don’t you cook

it?”

Roman looked at her in shock. “Are you kidding! The price of my cooking is very high!”

Lainey stuffed the pork chop into her mouth and said with a sneer, “You know it’s very

expensive, so you should stop talking nonsense!”

She left there unhappy and went to find Ainsley.

Serina had already called her brother several times, but she still didn’t dare to make a call

in front of Ainsley, so she could only hide in the corner.

“What are you doing? Why don’t you answer the phone!?” she murmured and gave up

when she called for the tenth time and no one answered.

Back in front of Ainsley, she pretended to be calm and said, “My brother said that he is

dealing with a very important matter now, so he will come over soon.”

Ainsley nodded. It was seven o’clock now, nearly an hour had passed, but he still hadn’t

come.

At that moment all the lights in the garden were extinguished in an instant. Before Lainey and Serina

could react, Matteo walked over pushing the cake. The cake, with its three

layers, candles, and t*inkl*ng lights, made Ainsley’s dress look great.

Matteo walked up to Ainsley. “Happy birthday.”

Ainsley’s mood improved a bit. Serina took the lead in singing the birthday song, and with tears in her

eyes. She watched relatives and friends all around her blessing her.

When the last line of the song was over, she clasped her hands together, made a wish,

and blew out the candles.

“Thank you everyone.” Ainsley was very moved.

Everyone sat at the dinner table. “My dad was going to come over, but when he thought

we were all about the same age, we couldn’t feel relaxed if he came. He wants you to go back this

weekend and celebrate your birthday with you.” Matteo said.

“Okay.” Ainsley was even more moved. One after another dish was brought to the dining

table. Roman couldn’t help but want to complain, “This dish… It hurts so much!”

He looked down and saw that Lainey was pinching his thigh. “Why are you pinching

me?”

Lainey gritted her teeth and said, “I pinched you for your own good, to let you eat more

and talk less.”

The serv*nt poured red wine for them. Although there was no birthday party, it seemed happier for the

few of them to get together now.

Lainey put a piece of cake in front of Roman. “Do you want to eat cake?”

“Thank you.” Roman just wanted to reach for it, but Lainey put the cake plate on his head. “You’re

welcome.” Roman was stunned and wiped the cream on his face with the napkin. He also picked up a

plate and chased towards Lainey. “Don’t run! Let me take

revenge!”

Lainey dodged and rolled her eyes. She would be an idiot if she didn’t run.

Seeing the two of them fighting, Ainsley was amused.

Laughing, she felt a chill on her face. Serina was looking at her with a smirk.

“I can’t believe you learned this.” Ainsley stood up from her seat, picked up her plate of

cream, and chased after Ainsley.

Matteo took a sip of the red wine and looked at them with a smile.

He looked in the direction of the gate and frowned. He thought, “Is Manuel not coming?”

Before he went to the cake shop just now, he saw Ainsley’s disappointed gaze. Although

she didn’t express it, how could he not know Ainsley?

“But that was okay. She was happy now.”

Still thinking, but feeling the wind blowing behind him, he turned around and saw that it

was Ainsley.

Her hand was reaching for his cheek, and the moment he was stunned, the cream which

Ainsley had taken was smeared over his face.

“Let’s play together.” Ainsley smiled.

They chased and fought for a full hour before they calmed down. After everyone calmed down, Ainsley’s

mood fell again.

Serina saw Ainsley’s loss, and she knew it was because of her brother. Lainey walked up to Ainsley. “A

new KTV opened. Do you want to go together?”

Ainsley refused. “I’m a little tired. I want to take a rest. Let’s go together next time.”

“Okay.”

Lainey and Roman left there. Serina said to Ainsley before leaving, “I apologize to you on

behalf of my brother. This time he didn’t come in time. It is his fault, but he has been

looking forward to your birthday party since two days ago. Something important must have happened to

the company this time, otherwise, he won’t break his promise.”

Ainsley nodded. “I know. Go back now. It will be too late soon.”

After sending them all away, Ainsley returned to the garden. The serv*nt was packing up, Matteo walked

up to Ainsley with a glass of red wine, and handed the glass of red wine

to her. “Have a drink.”

Ainsley did not refuse. She was too clear-headed now, she should use alcohol to numb

her. She picked up the wine glass and took a sip. “Thank you.”

Ainsley’s tense face was a little eased, but her voice was h**rse. She pretended not to care, and said, “I

feel loss, but I’m not that fragile. After I was heartbroken, I asked myself every night what I had done

wrong. Manuel came to coax me and talked about our relationship in front of Irene as if he was making

up for everything he had done to me before. I thought he was just protecting me before, but now I don’t

know what he is thinking.”

“It’s my fault,” Matteo said.

Ainsley smiled and said, “What’s wrong with you?”

Matteo looked down and chuckled. His eyes darkened. “It’s my fault. I should have prevented you from

inviting Manuel.”

“Why?” Ainsley raised her eyebrows.

“If I had refused to let you invite Manuel at the beginning, then now Manuel would only

be unable to come because of me, not because of other things.”

Matteo’s eyes became complicated. He didn’t want to see Ainsley like that.

Matteo had been thinking about these things since eating just now.

Ainsley sneered and said, “You don’t have to do this.”

She understood that he was already thinking of her for allowing her to invite Manuel.

Ainsley raised her wine glass and touched his, then smiled, and said, “I am very happy today.”
