S3-Chapter 194

Author: Maria Anita
Manuela’s POV

I could not allow Flavian's family to stay in a hotel, no matter how luxurious it might be. It would still be a hotel - impersonal and meaningless, especially since their son lived in an apartment and could host them. Moreover, Flavian had been so kind to my family, making sure to welcome them when they were here. So, if we could host my family, we could certainly host his family too.

I also had another motive: I wanted to see how they behaved together and wanted to resolve all the differences between us once and for all. I wanted to hear their side of the story and hoped for a possible reconciliation. I knew Flavian would dodge the issue if they stayed at a hotel. But I also needed Lexie, as I had noticed she was the only one who could speak frankly with her father without them fighting. So I would gather this family in our apartment - of course, some adjustments would be needed, but that was easy.

"Well, I'll say goodbye to you here," Rick said as soon as we got outside

    Manuela’s POVThe house was beautiful, two stories, a facade with stone pillars and lots of glass, colonial roofing, and painted in a gorgeous darker beige tone. It was all lit up."Shall we?" He opened the car door for me. I was so enchanted by the house that I hadn't even seen him get out of the car."Who lives here?" The house was on the street behind Patrick's house, so I hadn't seen it the other times I'd been here."It's not who lives here, it's who's going to live here, but that depends on you." Flavian smiled at me. I was confused and he seemed to notice. "You said we needed a bigger house." He shrugged."Yes, a bigger house, not a giant house." I couldn't take my eyes off the house. I couldn't hide my enchantment."Don't you even want to see it?" He seemed a bit disappointed."Of course I want to see it, I just wasn't expecting this." I smiled. That house was too beautiful and I was afraid of liking it too much.We went through every room in that house, and there were many. Be

    Manuela’s POVFlavian's family said goodbye to us at the beginning of the evening. The day had been pleasant and calm. After breakfast, we decided to spend the day at the Social Club and Agnes insisted on calling Rick to meet us there. But something was strange.Flavian was off in corners, talking quietly with his brothers, sister-in-law, and Rick. They were all acting weird, as if they were keeping a secret about something. And it went on like that all day. I waited for him to tell me what was going on, but he didn't say anything. So I asked and he told me they were just talking about his parents' move and that Raul was telling them how different they'd been acting for many days.I didn't really believe it, but Flavian was skilled at making me drop the subject. He came at me full of affection, gave me a little kiss here, another there, and made me completely forget about it by keeping me busy for a good part of the night. Fortunately, the day at the office was calm because I was tired

    Flavian’s POVManu was winning over the Morenos one by one, at an impressive speed. My mother was completely charmed by her, and my father saw her differently - the way he looked at her had changed. As upset as I'd been, I couldn't deny that having their support was much better than turning our backs on them. I'd already made it clear that I wouldn't accept any more attempts at interference, wouldn't allow them to offend or hurt her, and they seemed to have gotten the message."Well, since that's how it is, I'd like to say that I've thought about everything we discussed yesterday." Everyone turned to look at me. Beside me, my little one smiled. "I'm burying the subject, burying our fights and disagreements, and tearing down what you called the wall I built between us, Dad. Now you know that she's the reason for my life and that I won't let anyone hurt her or try to drive her away from me. I hope you understand that Manu is my happiness, the woman I love. And I hope you'll respect my ch

    Flavian’s POVI held my little one in my arms for a while, in complete silence, just feeling her close to me. But she needed to rest, and so did I."Let's go to bed, little one. Tomorrow's a holiday, but you have a whole battalion of guests to entertain." She smiled and looked at me."I think we need a bigger house," she suggested with a charming smile.I watched her carefully. That suggestion meant she wanted to have family nearby. And it also meant she was really willing to build a future with me."You want a bigger house?" I asked cautiously, and she nodded."Look, we have your parents and your siblings, and my father and my brother. Imagine when we get everyone together? I'd really like to have Sunday family lunches, like Hebe, Henry's sister, does. I'd like to have friends over, like Cat and Alexander. And I'd like to have children someday, like Sam and Henry.""Children? Like Sam and Henry, and Cat and Alexander?" She sparked hope in my heart."I said like Sam and Henry, not like

    Flavian’s POVI was about to speak, but my mother interrupted me."Just a moment, Flavian." She looked at Lexie. "Lexie, I have many flaws, but I'm not a monster like that Rita! I was willing to insist on your marriage to William, but not at any cost.""Are you sure about that, Mom? Dad said you would lock me in my room." Lexie was hurt too, and I hadn't realized it yet."I did think about it, yes, but I didn't do it. And I won't. I want you to know something - when I decided to come look for you today, I had already made a decision. And after talking to Manu at the hospital, even before knowing who she was, I was certain of what I had to do. So, before your brother tells you what he discovered, I want you to know that I won't insist on you marrying William anymore. And I won't interfere with your choices either. If you want to come home, I'll welcome you with open arms, but if you decide your place is here, I'll respect your choice." None of us expected that. Lexie, Raul, and I were s

    Flavian’s POVMy father took the phone and looked at the photos of Manu's injuries with horror written all over his face. My mother was beside him looking at the photos and started crying; I knew it had shaken her. I looked at Manu, and she was hanging her head in shame, shrinking beside me, so I hugged her."You don't have to be ashamed; you're a survivor," I whispered in her ear."I never imagined this. I would never condone this. This is monstrous," my father seemed outraged. "Manuela, I don't know how to apologize to you. I am truly ashamed and sincerely sorry.""I want to know what happened after you met Rita at the hotel," I wanted every detail of that story, not just his apology. I wanted to know how far he went, what he knew."After the hotel, some time passed without any news from her. I even thought she had forgotten or given up. Meanwhile, Manuela's company caught my attention, but I didn't know she was a partner. I was interested in the business; it's a cutting-edge company
