Chapter 668: Don’t Leave Without Telling the Truth
Allyce stared at Severo’s broad back and opened her mouth to say something, but felt a dryness in her throat.
She stepped forward and hugged him from behind.
Severo’s body stiffened for a moment and he froze.
It was half a moment before he found his voice and reached out to caress Allyce’s hand with a hint of laughter in his voice, “What, you don’t want to go to the ballroom? Then we’ll continue what we were doing before.”
Severo’s words destroyed what little sadness he had in his heart, and he withdrew his hand with an electric shock, growling, “Nice try!”
Severo turned his head and looked at her with a smile in the corner of his eyes and a hint of levity in his voice, “Then why don’t you leave?”.
Allyce blinked, stood on tiptoe and kissed him on the cheek when he wasn’t looking, picked up her bag and turned to leave.
…
As soon as she entered the ballroom, she was surprised by Lucila, who had been guarding the door.
Lucila grabbed her arm and pulled her to sit up, rubbing her ear and saying in a novel way, “Tsk, the clothes have changed, what have you been doing with Severo for so long? ”
Allyce straightens her skirt and looks left and right, but not at Lucila.
“What does what”.
Lucila said with a smile on her face: “How should I know what you are doing …”.
“I haven’t even gone after you yet, are you having fun teaming up with him to snub me?” Allyce raised an eyebrow, with a tone of amusement.
Lucila rubbed her nose, “Hey, it’s a question of, dare I not do what Severo asks me to do ….”
Severo’s eyes and tone of voice could freeze a person in a minute.
Allyce had thought about this too, Lucila was more of a wimp than her every time she saw Severo, how could she expect Lucila to be tough in front of Severo?
At the end of the second part of the party, Allyce entrusted Alonzo to Neto and Lucila and went upstairs to look for Severo.
Neto and Lucila did not return either, they took a room on the same floor and when Alonzo was asleep, Neto took Lucila to look for Allyce and Severo.
Allyce and Severo also stayed awake because Tiras knew that the two Neto were coming.
When Neto entered, he pointed to Severo and said: “If you don’t go to see your son, Alonzo won’t know he has a father like you.
“No.” Severo still had the same cold look on his face, except for the smile that rose to the corners of his eyes, showing that he was in a good mood to see Neto.
Neto gave him a cold white stare.
Severo added: “There is a saying that ‘father and son are united’, don’t you understand?”
Neto couldn’t resist taking a stab at him: “That’s true, but you won’t see Alonzo for another year and a half, so even if you are connected, you can’t be connected across the ocean!
Severo’s face darkened and he said in a cold voice: “Shut up!Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Angry, guys, look at him!” Neto laughed with glee, and turned his head towards Allyce and Lucila, gesturing for them to look at Severo’s face.
Allyce smiled and turned to Lucila, “I’m a little hungry, let’s go out and get something to snack on”.
Severo and Neto had not seen each other for a long time and must have had something to say, so they should not be disturbed here.
Lucila obeys, gathers her coat and leaves with Allyce.
They didn’t have far to go, so they ordered directly from Kimdis’ restaurant and ate slowly.
In the room, once the two women had left, Severo could not resist lighting a cigarette.
Only one puff was taken before Neto snatched it and threw it away.
“What’s the point of smoking when you’re so old and don’t know how to take care of yourself? Do you want to die smoking before your time so that Allyce can find Alonzo a new father?”
Neto then stubbed out the cigarette and threw it into the bin, taking out another handkerchief to cover it.
Severo remained in the same position he was in before he smoked the cigarette, and after a moment he leaned back and turned his head towards Neto, his eyes fixed on him: “Say that again.
Neto raised his hand, made a zip gesture around his mouth, and as he lifted his glass of water to drink it, he cooed softly, “It’s true even if you don’t say it”.
Neto immediately shut up as soon as Severo’s eyes wandered.
It was then that the two men got down to work.
Severo was the first to speak: “Is your big brother still controlling Grizzi?
Neto’s face didn’t look surprised, he leaned back and changed his posture to a very relaxed one, but his tone was serious: “Well, it’s just that after you went to J, Grizzi’s path in Cloud Cit was cut off, there was too much paperwork to go to J and my brother had a mission in the army, so I had to put it aside for the moment and go back. ”
Severo thought briefly and said, “Which means that as soon as Grizzi’s people re-enter the country, your older brother will still take over the case and continue with it?”
Neto sensed that Severo was saying something else, but he could not understand the cause and effect of this and asked, “What is it?”
Severo did not know what he was thinking, his face was extremely heavy and he just shook his head and said nothing more.
…
Severo’s flight back to J the following night.
Allyce was reluctant to let go of him, but she knew these were extraordinary times.
But the thought of Severo going back to Cloud Cit without even returning home, spending the night in Kimdis and taking an overnight flight back to J was heartbreaking and somewhat desperate.
“Did I have to take a night flight?” It was sneaky and made Allyce feel a little gagged inside.
When she asked, Severo’s face fell: “If I don’t leave in the evening, I’ll have to leave in the afternoon, and you don’t like the idea of me staying a few more hours?
“I didn’t mean that anywhere.” Allyce tilted her head, wondering what she was thinking, and when she looked up again, the expression on her face was serious indeed.
He took Severo’s hand and asked, “Has something happened? Why did you send me back all of a sudden?”
“There was a time when things were critical, but it’s all quite settled now, otherwise I wouldn’t have had time to see you again”. Severo’s calm tone had the power to ease the mind.
Allyce stared at him, and the two looked at each other for a long moment before Allyce gently shook his head.
Severo’s face stiffened slightly.
He saw that what Allyce meant was that she no longer trusted him.
Allyce would be a great fool indeed if she continued to believe in evasive rhetoric.
Severo’s eyes narrowed and his bony hand rested on Allyce’s, his head slightly bowed, saying nothing, like a child who has admitted his mistake.
Allyce won’t be fooled by him again, she won’t accept it now.
He opened his hand with a snap: “Don’t pretend with me, don’t leave until you tell the truth”.
