Chapter 703: She Doesn’t Know
“Oh.”
Severo merely replied indifferently, his face as calm as a breeze blowing over a lake, and then suddenly became calm again.
Allyce’s heart, on the other hand, was left with the seed of doubt.
The simple two-course meal he prepared was so good that it whetted Allyce’s appetite, and it was clear that Severo had put a lot of effort into it.
She was almost full when it occurred to her that Betsalem was still locked in her car.
After swallowing the last mouthful of soup from her plate, Allyce grabbed her bag just in time to say to Severo, “I have to go”.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he ran away.
Severo left the chopsticks in his hand, frowning, and looked up at the chair where Allyce had been sitting before, on the back of which rested a lady’s coat, Allyce’s coat no less.
What’s the rush?
Severo sat in silence for a while, until he could perceive no trace of Allyce in the room, before rising with a frown, picking up his coat and sending her away.
…
As Allyce walked down the stairs and opened the car door, Betsalem leaned against the back of the passenger seat and said breathlessly: “If you had been any later, I would have died.
Allyce smiled sardonically: “Sorry, I forgot for a moment”.
He had almost forgotten that Betsalem was in his car, and that it was his fault.
It was then that he remembered that he had not said a word of what he should have asked or said after bringing Severo up.
When Severo cooks for her calmly, she has a real illusion of being transported back in time and for a moment forgets her purpose.
He looked at the time, it was getting late, so he said to Betsalem: “What do you want for dinner, I’ll buy it for you”.
“Really?” Betsalem was clearly unconvinced.
He looked towards the door of the flat with a suspicious look.
Allyce guessed that he was looking at Severo: “Are you going or not?
He said out loud, “Okay, okay, come on. I want to eat hot pot, the extra spicy kind”.
As if he feared Allyce would back out, he said as he quickly buckled his seatbelt, his whole body in a good mood.
Allyce looked up at the seventh floor location and stopped short to get into the car.
Now that she knew Severo lived here, it would be very easy for her to return to him later, and she had his new number so she could find him at any time.
Now he has no fear that Severo will disappear.
…
He took Betsalem to a famous chain of hot food restaurants.
As requested by Betsalem, Allyce asked for an extra spicy roast.
However, Betsalem’s first bite was so pungent that his nose and eyes burst into tears.
Allyce looked at her with an astonished face, “…”.
Seeing Betsalem earlier, I thought she could eat spicy food, but I didn’t realise she was a loudmouth, just a loudmouth who shouted.
“So hot and spicy …” Betsalem spat out his tongue as he took a sip of his water. head, and his feet underneath the table wouldn’t stop, stomping one at a time.
Allyce wasn’t quite sure if this action was a relief, but she felt that Betsalem’s appearance was in stark contrast to her usual self, which made Allyce look at her and feel much calmer.
He asked the waiter for a glass of ice water and handed it to Betsalem: “Let’s change the base of the pot for you, this is too spicy for you to eat”.
Betsalem’s flushed, heated face gave a faint, imperceptible twinge of embarrassment.
Knowing she was embarrassed, Allyce took it upon herself to ask the waiter to change the base of the pot.
Betsalem has been to Z many times and loves hot pot, always wanted to try what the extra spicy hot pot base tastes like, just …
She looked at Allyce and then at the water, telling herself that there was no need to be ashamed, that if Allyce laughed at her, she would sell the news that Severo was alive to those who were looking for him.
But now, even if Betsalem says nothing, there is no hiding the news that Severo is still alive.
Allyce accompanied Betsalem to a hot pot.
“I see you’re a good eater.” Allyce said this as he paid the bill and headed for the exit with Betsalem, turning his head towards her.
Betsalem snorted: “You call that being able to eat for so little?
Allyce finds Betsalem surprisingly open, perhaps due to her birth and upbringing, which gives her a strong self-confidence and a total disregard for such careful calculations.
Allyce came to her senses and said from the bottom of her heart, “Thank you for taking care of Severo. ”
Betsalem shrugged, his pretty eyes slightly sparkling: “And I have that Ortis man to thank for leaving Severo in my care, otherwise I would never have known that Severo was really so violent.”
Allyce repeated, “Violence?”
Betsalem heard the confusion in Allyce’s voice and looked at her in surprise, opening her mouth to say something before stopping abruptly.
“Thank you for inviting me to dinner, I’m going to go back to rest”.
With that, Betsalem stepped forward steadily, extending his hand to her without looking back and waving goodbye.
Allyce’s smile slipped, she really wanted to take Betsalem.
He just couldn’t understand what Betsalem had been trying to say and suddenly stopped saying it….
…
Betsalem had not gone far when a man surprised him inside an alley off the road.
Without waiting for her to cry out for help, the man who had dragged her into the alley had reached out and strangled her fiercely, with a cold silence in his familiar voice: “What did you say?
Betsalem instantly recognised the man as Severo.
The strength of his grip on her neck was so strong that it was hard for her to even breathe, let alone speak.
But he managed to squeeze out one word with difficulty: “No …”.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
The alley is particularly dim, with no lights.
I couldn’t see Severo’s face, but I could feel the shadowy aura emanating from him.
Inwardly she feared she had asked Allyce to take her, she didn’t want to die so soon.
At that moment, Severo’s mobile phone rang, an ordinary ringtone, but he put the phone down and answered.
Betsalem took a breath and heard Severo say on the phone: “Why did it take you so long to come back?
His voice was still weak, but sounded inexplicably softer.
Betsalem has a characteristic that all women share: sensitivity.
I knew that the person who had called Severo must have been Allyce.
However, the man was truly terrifying.
One moment he was choking her, as if he was going to strangle her, and the next he was able to pick up the phone with a normal face and a kind tone.
He stood to one side, holding her neck, not daring to say a word.
To put it bluntly, Severo is now a mentally disturbed person who, when provoked, becomes uncontrollably violent and she is afraid to mess with him, knowing full well that if she angers him, he could kill her.
And before, he had always assumed that Allyce knew something about Severo’s situation, but Allyce’s look of surprise when he heard her say that Severo was violent just now proved that he didn’t.
