Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

After completing the formalities at the Civil Affairs Office, Nico walked through the neighborhood, nicely landscaped and with a quiet open park.

“There’s something else I need to tell you, there’s a park over there, let’s talk about it while we walk.”

“Okay.”

In the park, in early spring, some plants and trees are not yet fully green, half the color of decaying fall and winter leaves and half the soft green of new shoots.

Micaela and Nico walk together along the cobblestone paths in the park.

Indeed, the sun was shining brightly today, light streaming through the gaps of the shading French sycamores, full of the sweetness and brightness of early spring.

Nico said, “The mastermind who set you up two years ago has been discovered, it was Kemena, and Carlita. ”

Kemena wasn’t surprised, but she was surprised that someone as self-respecting as Carlita would do something like that.

Nico made a suspicious face and said, “You’re wondering why Carlita is in on this, aren’t you? I was surprised too. Surely she would do anything for Pasqual. ”

Pasqual Olivarez.

Micaela had never heard the name, but assumed it would be Carlita’s current husband.

“Actually, I’ve thought about it again in the last couple of days and I seem to understand Carlita’s thoughts about doing it again. Like I’d be willing to be that unbearable if it was for you.”

Micaela averted her scorching gaze and said, “Now that it’s all over, now that the truth is out, it’s time to put an end to the past.”

“Yes, it’s all in the past. Kemena has also disappeared from The Holy City and from now on she has no chance or means to come back to haunt you. As for Carlita…”

Micaela said, “Anyway, Carlita is your mother, so do what you want with her. I’m not getting involved.”

“Fine.”

As for Kemena, although Nico had lightened the situation with two or three sentences, Micaela could guess that would end badly.

Nico looked down the quiet lane, almost at the end, and asked, “So what’s next, what are your plans?”

“I haven’t thought about it yet, I have handed the company over to a professional manager and should take a break for a while.”

“It’s good that your body … pays more attention to rest.”

Micaela’s eyelashes fluttered slightly as she didn’t move, she looked at the road in front of her and said, “I’ll have to walk the road on my own, Nico, let’s stop here…”.

Nico obeyed and didn’t move forward again, he stood still, looked at her and asked, “I know I’m not supposed to see you again, but afterwards, can I really not see you again?”

Micaela swallowed her throat and let out a laugh, “Forget it, it hurts to do too much without results. nico, you…”

She would have simply said, take care of yourself.

But when the words came out of his mouth, Micaela couldn’t resist saying, “Don’t smoke so much, it’s not good for your health.”

Two years later, on each of those occasions when we met again, Micaela sensed a strong smell of tobacco on him.

Two years ago, this smoking habit, which had changed for her, had started again.

Nico was standing in the shade of that French sycamore tree, with light and shadow falling on him, and he smiled warmly and warmly at her in that glaring light and said, “I’ll quit smoking, and I’ll leave you as well as I quit smoking.”

Micaela curled her eyelashes slightly and curved her lips, finally saying calmly, “That’s good.”

The two walk in different directions.

Backing up.

The distance is getting bigger and bigger.

Until the back is no longer visible.

…

After taking care of the chores in The Holy City, Micaela took Malia and Hud and prepared to return to England.

The return to the UK was not hidden from anyone, Savanna heard the news from somewhere and rushed to the airport to watch the plane depart.

“Miss Micaela! Miss Micaela wait a minute!”

Micaela looked back and saw Savanna running breathlessly with her small backpack, “Savanna? What are you doing here?”

Savanna took a sharp breath, looked at Malia and smiled good-naturedly, “Hi grandma. Miss Micaela, I, I have something to tell you.”Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

Savanna pulled Micaela aside and said confidently, “Miss Micaela, this ring is for you.”

Micaela looked at the diamond ring Savanna handed her and was a bit stunned, “How did this ring … come into your hands?”.

“It was at my brother’s house, once I accidentally tripped over it and this diamond ring got lost in the grass, I looked for it for a long time before I found it, now I return it to its rightful owner and give it back to you.”

“But I am no longer the owner of this diamond ring.”

Savanna took her hand and slipped the diamond ring into her palm, “Once you are, you always will be, and anyway, this diamond ring shouldn’t be on my hand.”

Micaela accepted the diamond ring without further ado.

Savanna pulled another delicate metal box from the backpack behind her and handed it to her.

“What is it?”

Savanna explained, “This is the gift my brother brought you when he went traveling around the world the two years he thought you had died, it’s all in there, all his thoughts about you. Oh yeah, this is his journal, I stole it, I’ll give it to you too, I … I read it secretly, the journal written in it, it’s all about you, so you kind of own this journal too.”

“Savanna, your brother … and I are divorced.”

“I know, but I just want to fight for my brother one more time. Miss Micaela, my brother loves you very much, and while I can understand you separating, it’s a shame even for me, an outsider, when people who love each other as much as you do separate. By the way, there is this, which my brother asked me to give you.”

Micaela frowned slightly and asked, “So what is this?

The first thing I want to do is to get a copy of the book. Miss Micaela, remember to join this group and say hello to the administrator, my brother has already explained it to the administrator, you must remember to join him, just in case.”

Micaela held up the card, her fingertips slightly cold, her heart mixed with mixed emotions, not knowing what emotions she was feeling, she just said blankly, “Yes.”

“Miss Micaela, although I know I can’t stop you from going back to England. But there is something I still want to tell you. I thought that in those two years when you died, my brother traveled the world and was invisible to the gods, and though I don’t know what he did, I know he would have gone to seek death. I heard Mr. Rabago say that during those two years, my brother did many great things, all related to death, probably looking for a suitable way to die and go down there to be with you. But he was strong enough not to die, so he survived until now, and luckily he waited until you came back.”

Micaela’s eyes were slightly reddened, “Savanna, take good care of your brother.”

“I will, Miss Micaela, my brother is the most important family I have, but Miss Micaela, it’s not me my brother needs, it’s you.”

At that moment, flight announcements blared in the airport lobby.

“Flight CX369 bound for London, UK will depart in half an hour, passengers are advised to check in as soon as possible…”

Micaela proceeded with those Savanna had brought and said, “Savanna, I’m leaving, goodbye.”

Savanna waved to Micaela, “Miss Micaela, have a safe trip.”
