Chapter 660: Out and hiding
Allyce choked for a few seconds before grunting, “It’s not the same.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
Without waiting for Severo to speak, he turned the conversation around and asked: “Did grandfather call you?
Severo had sent it this time while the presidential elections were taking place and Tajo was too busy to worry about him, and he assumed that Tajo would come after him when he found out later.
Allyce knows deep down that it is not so much that she is important to Tajo, but that to Tajo she is just a presence to keep Severo at bay.
If you think about it, it seems like it would be a good thing if he returned to his country.
“You care about me now? You’re not angry anymore?” There was a hint of laughter in Severo’s voice, as if he were in a good mood.
Allyce was a bit exasperated: “I’m asking you a question, can you behave!
Severo, the scheming businessman who attacks the heart.
He had sent her back, what else could she do?
He only did it because he saw that she wouldn’t really get angry.
Allyce sighed mentally, she couldn’t stay angry and ignore him, could she?
In fact, their biggest worry now is that they have lost track of him.
J is a long way from Z, and it takes more than ten hours by plane. What would she do if one day something suddenly happened and he was out of contact?
He always thought Severo could do something like that.
“Don’t worry, go back to Z, the mountains are far away, it’s not like I can catch you again, and I’m not someone who can be pinched easily, so don’t worry, just go out shopping more often if you have nothing to do, don’t always think about east and west.”
Don’t women like to buy things?
“Then promise me that, whatever happens, you won’t cut off contact with me and that, whatever happens, you’ll call me. Allyce had a vague unease in her heart.
Severo was silent for a moment, before saying, “Yes”.
“Well that’s good, say you promise you’ll do it!” Allyce was not happy with his answer, trying to perfume her, no way!
Severo’s other hand, which was empty, tapped the table twice before saying: “I promise.
Then she heard Alonzo’s voice with a pleading voice on the other end: “Mom, I need to talk to Dad.
Allyce turned her head and saw that Alonzo had put down his chopsticks and was looking at her with those Severo eyes, his mouth still dripping with sauce and a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
His heart suddenly softened and he felt he had to show Severo what his son looked like now.
“Your son wants to speak to you on the phone.” Allyce said this to Severo on the other end of the line and handed the phone to Alonzo.
Alonzo picked up the phone and sat up straight with a serious look on his little body and called on the other end of the line in a milky voice: “Dad!
A child’s soft voice comes through the phone, increasingly childlike.
Severo’s eyes couldn’t help but soften and his voice was soft: “Have you had enough?
“Well, I’m full, there’s shrimps, salad … I don’t like salad …” Alonzo spontaneously announced the names of the dishes on the table, and rambled on about what he liked to eat that didn’t The food.
Allyce adores her son and prepares all his meals herself.
Alonzo is at an age where he is learning to talk, so Allyce often cooks, takes him out to play and teaches him everything she sees.
At his age, he also learns to speak quickly and remembers everything Allyce once taught him.
I don’t know what Severo was saying to him on the other end of the line, but he listened attentively, answering every now and then with a small smile on his face.
The two parents talked for a while and Allyce looked at the time, it was time for Alonzo to take a bath and go to bed.
Allyce pointed to Alonzo, who blushed: “I’m going to take a bath and go to bed.
He held his phone in his hands and asked again: “Have you seen my painting?
Painting?
Severo frowned slightly – what painting? Xabat hadn’t given it to him, had he?
But Alonzo’s tone was so full of expectation that Severo, not wanting to disappoint him, said: “It’s very well drawn”.
With Severo’s affirmation, Alonzo was content to hand the phone to Allyce.
Allyce spoke to him, hung up the phone and took Alonzo upstairs to bathe and lie down.
…
Allyce filled her tub with water, put in a few more water balloons and ducklings, and turned to help Alonzo undress when she realised he was almost done.
Small children have little coordination and it was a bit difficult for him to get off.
Allyce reached out to help him, but he refused.
Alonzo twisted his . Body, dodging Allyce’s outstretched hand, he cooed, “No … same …”
Allyce lost her smile: “Well, do it yourself”.
He found Alonzo’s appearance amusing and bent down to watch him take it off himself.
He pulled one leg out of his trousers and almost fell, Allyce reached down in time to pull it down, grabbed hold of Allyce and lifted the leg that hadn’t yet come out of his trousers to give it a good shake before pulling them off.
Now, he finds it interesting to watch Alonzo do anything.
…
Severo hangs up the phone, gets up and walks over to the window.
The LK Group’s building is very tall and so is the floor on which its office is located, with an open view and a sense of looking out.
Once upon a time, he loved the feeling of being high up and looking down.
And now, it looks less and less like it.
It had never occurred to him that too much wealth, too much power, could one day become a liability.
He lit a cigarette, took a long drag and took it out again.
Lone’s gaze fell on the lit cigarette, and he thought that if Allyce were here, she would be angry with him again.
However, if I don’t smoke a cigarette, I feel empty.
Knock, knock!
There was a knock at the door and, from the sound of it, it sounded very urgent.
The silent look on his face narrowed in an instant, and he stubbed out his cigarette, in a calm, quiet voice: “Come in”.
He had just gone to sit at his desk when the knocker from outside came in.
In walked none other than Dita.
She looked thunderous in her professional attire, her hair tied back over her shoulders and her make-up was exquisite.
When he saw that it was Dita, Severo’s tone was tinged with a hint of doubt: “What is it?
Xabat was clearly not well and Dita should have arranged for Xabat to rest and see a doctor by now, so why did she go to him in such a hurry?
“Tajo is on his way here again, boss, what do you say, we go out and hide or …?” Dita watched Severo’s expression carefully and waited for him to say something.
“Why are you hiding?” Severo’s face sank, a bone-deep coldness permeating his entire being.
