Chapter 680: In the Bag
When the woman finished, she turned her head to look at the man, waiting for his response.
However, the man only glanced for a moment in the direction Allyce’s car had taken before returning to his car without saying anything.
He walks slowly with a slight limp in his left leg, but it does not detract from the aura he carries.
The woman narrowed her eyes before quickly approaching him and holding out her hand to help him.
Only to be shrugged off by the man’s boredom the next moment.
“You …,” the woman pouted, but in the end said nothing.
…
Allyce drove fast all the way.
It was half past eleven when he returned to Villa in the Bay of Clouds.
The night is cool as water.
As soon as he got out of the car, he felt a slight chill in the cold air, tugged at his shirt collar and snorted before entering the villa.
In the lobby, Dita was still waiting for her.
Seeing Allyce enter, Dita immediately stood up: “Ma’am, you’re back, do you want something to eat?
“What are you doing here on guard duty? Where are the servants?” Allyce looked around and saw that there were no servants.
Dita laughed: “It’s OK, I couldn’t sleep anyway”.
Allyce nodded, took his jacket off his body and asked, “Where’s Alonzo?
“They put him to sleep and I told him that when he woke up I would see him”.
Allyce blushed slightly and said, “I’ll go up and check on her.
With that, he turned and headed upstairs.
Only halfway up the stairs did he see Alonzo standing barefoot in his little pyjamas.
Evidently, she had just woken up, her hair was dishevelled, her face was dazed and there was a hint of confusion in her eyes, and Allyce’s heart softened.
She quickened her pace and ran striding towards Alonzo, wrapped the jacket she was wearing around him and picked him up, touched his little feet, feeling them a little cold, and wrapped them in her hands, asking him softly, “Why did you run away?”
Alonzo wrapped his arms around Allyce’s neck, with little energy, and rested his head on hers.
This action appears to be dependent.
The baby had just woken up and took a while to regain consciousness, so Allyce didn’t speak to him again and took him straight to his bedroom.
After taking two steps, Allyce heard Alonzo suddenly utter two words: “Dad”.
His steps falter and he turns his head to look at Alonzo, “What’s wrong, are you dreaming about daddy?”
Alonzo looked around for a moment before nodding in astonishment.
Allyce’s arms went around him a couple more times, heartbroken.
He took Alonzo back to the bedroom and soon put him to bed.
Dita arrived just in time, with a bowl of noodles on a tray in her hand, “Feel free to eat”.
In recent times, however, Allyce has seemed outwardly normal, leaving early and returning late to look after Alonzo, nothing out of place.
However, only she, who has been following Allyce, knows that Allyce has not eaten much or slept well lately.
He worried that if this continued, Allyce’s body would not hold up.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
“Thank you.” Allyce moved away to sit down and began to eat the noodles.
Dita gave a faint, inaudible sigh.
“Anyway, you have to take care of yourself first”.
“I know.” Allyce’s hand stirring the noodles paused, then stopped talking.
…
More than a month after the plane crash, the heat has gradually died down.
But still, there is no word on the missing persons.
Officials are also unable to give an answer.
And the results of the presidential elections in J have come in after a month.
At the morning breakfast, Dita talked about it.
“Princess Eka, elected vice-president”.
Allyce had not paid much attention to the presidential election and, hearing her talk about it, casually asked: “Who is the president?
Dita said an unfamiliar name.
“Is this the result of Grizzi’s meddling?” Allyce asked aloud as she put the glass in her hand.
The only thing Dita said was: “The result was a bit unexpected”.
Allyce understood the meaning of Dita’s words.
This is mainly the result of Grizzi’s meddling.
After breakfast, Allyce took Alonzo to the nursery.
“Mummy will come for you in the evening”.
Allyce watched Alonzo being driven by his teacher before turning back to the car.
Everything seems to have calmed down.
Meanwhile, Grizzi’s men had not turned up to cause trouble, Marco had not been able to find out anything useful, and Severo was still without news.
Only, at the end of her shift, Allyce received a call from someone she had long ignored.
Glancing at the familiar call number on her mobile phone screen, Allyce thought for a moment before picking up the phone.
There is really nothing to miss from those days in J.
And Severo was in the area of the country where the plane crashed, so he never paid attention to what was happening in J.
So much so that I had almost forgotten there was a Tagus.
At the time of the accident, the national media wanted to make the news, but did not dare to be too liberal.
And in J, Tajo gave no response to the issue.
When the call was answered, Tajo greeted him with: “When do you plan to return to J?
“Something’s come up at home and I can’t come back for a while.” Allyce wondered why he was suddenly asking her when she was coming back to J, but she didn’t say so directly.
“I am afraid there is still no word on Severo and he is in a critical condition.
The implication of Tajo’s words was clear: Allyce had to be allowed to return.
After a brief moment of confusion, Allyce realised what Tajo intended.
He remembered what Casimiro had said.
These people who value fame and fortune seek it at times like this, for no other reason than the enormous wealth of the LK Group.
Tajo always likes to hold people back. If anything happens to Severo, she will be the first heir of the LK Group and Tajo wants her to go back to J and then embrace her.
Not to mention all the things Tajo was doing in the shadows in J, there was no way Allyce was going to let him get away with what Severo had said, that he might be in cahoots with Grizzi.
What’s more, he believes Severo is still alive.
“I thank you for your kindness, don’t worry, I’ll take care of me and Alonzo, Severo will be back and I’ll stay in Cloud Cit to wait for him”.
Who doesn’t know how to play Tai Chi?
Tajo is Sima’s heart, she understands that.
If he took Alonzo to J, he would really be a wolf in a tiger’s mouth.
Tajo’s voice contained a note of gnashing of teeth: “Why are you still so insensitive!
