Chapter 665: Seems very reliable
Allyce told Severo about the party she was organising on Friday night.
Severo was silent for a moment before saying: “It’s going to be exhausting.
“Anyway, it’s a normal party, so let’s get on with it”. There was a note of relief in Allyce’s tone.
However, she knew in her heart that even if it was an ordinary party, with her status, there were bound to be a few people passing by, and there would be a lot of people crowding around to get close to her.
And she, as the owner, had to deal with it all.
It is exhausting to think about.
“Actually, you don’t have to be like this”. Severo’s mood was low, even a little downcast.
The purpose of Allyce’s party became clear to Severo with just a little thought.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
He was trying to tell everyone on behalf of the party that he was back home and would stay in Cloud Cit from now on.
The big announcement that she was back in Cloud Cit was in case Tajo or Grizzi’s men caught her by surprise.
If everyone knew he was back in the country, his whereabouts would be exposed for all to see, and those who wanted to do more to him would be suspicious.
Allyce knew he was upset again when she heard the tone of his voice.
“Do I look like a baby to you without any capacity to think or act?” Or could she have done such a small thing to set her macho mind in motion and cause resentment?
Severo paused before saying, “I just don’t want you to suffer”.
Allyce felt a little helpless, “I’m not Alonzo, this is the kind of thing I’m supposed to do, I’m an adult, a mother, a wife, I can handle a lot of things with what I have and I’m supposed to do a lot of things, will you stop treating me like a child?”
After a few seconds, without listening to Severo’s reply, he added: “You must trust that I can protect myself and look after our son in your absence.
It was a long time before I got an answer from Severo: “Hmm”.
She wondered how a man of Severo’s calibre could be so short-sighted when it came to her.
“Eat on time, don’t get too tired, and take care of yourself. As in every previous call, Allyce was relentless in her exhortations.
Severo suddenly laughed, and even his voice was tinged with rich laughter: “Don’t treat me like a child, okay? You don’t need to remind me every time of such trivial things as eating and sleeping”.
Allyce grunted, if he could always eat and sleep on time, she wouldn’t need to remind him so much.
However, he appreciated the deeper meaning of her words.
Because we carry each other in our hearts, we have to hold on to each other on the days when we are apart, even if it is something small and insignificant.
“Hmph, no more talking to you.” Allyce said, but didn’t bother to hang up the phone.
“It’s time to drop Alonzo off at school, go pick him up, hang up.” Severo, probably knowing what was on her mind, spoke and urged her to hang up the phone.
Allyce looked at the time and saw that it was indeed Alonzo’s time to leave school, so she had to hang up the phone, even though she didn’t want to.
…
Friday, 8 p. m.
Allyce, wearing a knee-length red evening dress, got out of the car before turning to hug Alonzo.
Alonzo wore a small shirt and suspender trousers with a bow tie around his neck.
The costume is all haute couture, specially chosen for him by Allyce.
She put Alonzo down on the floor and crouched down in front of him to get a closer look at the light and realised how good her son looked.
“We’re going in now.” Allyce picked him up again, “There will be lots of uncles and aunts and probably children too where we are going next, but Alonzo don’t be afraid, just make yourself at home, everyone is a guest and everyone will love Alonzo. ”
She had not been with the children for long and was a little tired of carrying them on her heels.
Alonzo squirmed twice in his arms and his sticky little voice rang out: “I’ll go down and walk alone”.
“Mummy takes you inside, mummy wants to hold you. It was a bit exhausting, but really nice.
As a mother, she gave Alonzo very little love.
Alonzo is already two and a half years old, how many more years will she be able to hold him in her arms?
Entering the Kimdis’ lobby, Allyce caught a glimpse of Norberto.
“Mrs. Betances,” Norberto, in his immaculate suit, strides towards Allyce.
His serious face relaxed for a moment as his gaze returned to Alonzo: “Alonzo is here too.
“Uncle Norberto the lawyer’. Alonzo heard someone call out to him and immediately turned his head to Norberto and smiled.
Allyce was a little surprised, not realising that Alonzo also knew Norberto.
“Neto has brought Alonzo to Kimdis a few times, Alonzo has a good memory”. Norberto could see the confusion in Allyce’s eyes and took the initiative to speak up and explain.
Norberto quickly straightened up again, “Mrs. Betances, you go up to Alonzo first, this is no place to talk, everything is ready”.
He looks very reliable with his serious and earnest look.
“Tough luck.” Allyce said no more and led Alonzo to the lift.
She was in an exclusive lift, just her and Alonzo, with a couple of bodyguards.
The ballroom was already full.
Allyce paused at the entrance for a few seconds to look around and was surprised by the pomp and circumstance of the interior.
I expected a lot of people to come, but I didn’t think it would be that many.
“Mrs. Betances is here!”
I don’t know who shouted this first, but the people inside looked towards the door.
Allyce is a person who has seen the big time and is not shy at all.
But she was worried that Alonzo was afraid of the crowd, so she knelt down and tried to hold him: “Mama will take you in.
Delicately, Alonzo shook his head: “Alonzo walks alone!
Then he took Allyce’s hand and said, “Dad said that men shouldn’t let women hold them or they won’t grow.
As he spoke, his brow furrowed and his dark eyes did not move, and there was a seriousness in his little face that to Allyce’s eyes was only amusing and funny.
However, it sounded a little breathless.
Severo is talking nonsense to the children.
Allyce saw that Alonzo was not deprived of holding him by himself, and stopped insisting on holding him.
As he led Alonzo inside, the guests inside had consciously moved to the side to make way for him.
She approached the stage and took the microphone, well groomed and natural: “Thank you all so much for coming to the Kimdis anniversary dinner, and on behalf of Kimdis, and my husband, I’d like to thank you all …”.
It takes a name to organise a dinner, and it just so happens that Kimdis’ anniversary is coming up, so let’s do it soon.
