Chapter 239: The car and the man crashed together in the sea
“Does it look good?”
Eleanora Lozada’s hands gently carried the hem of her wedding dress and, as she left the fitting room, Jonathan Tasis’ eyes lit up with stars.
The store manager complimented her, “Mrs. Tasis looks really beautiful in this wedding dress and Mrs. Tasis has a very slim waist.”
Eleanora Lozada was not used to being complimented like this for a moment, and her ears warmed slightly as she reached up to hook the loose strands of hair behind her ears and swallowed to look at Jonathan Tasis.
He looked at her with a deep, burning gaze.
Eleanora Lozada blushed.
Jonathan Tasis walked up to her and looked at her, “I’ve pictured you in your wedding dress a million times in my head, but it’s not as impressive as this moment in real life.”
Eleanora Lozada did not dare to look up at such an exaggerated compliment.
“It’s not as far-fetched as you make it sound.”
Jonathan Tasis smiled slightly and said, “Just this one, it’s beautiful.”
“But … what’s the point of buying a wedding dress now?”.
It wasn’t that they were going to get married right away.
Jonathan Tasis laughed lightly, “I would love to have my wedding with you now, but if you want to wait, I don’t mind waiting, but it’s not like I’m going to buy this dress for the wedding, it’s too casual, when it comes to your wedding dress, it will have to be custom made.”
Eleanora Lozada was even more puzzled, “So what’s the point of buying this wedding dress now?”.
Jonathan Tasis said in all seriousness, “Buy it and wear it at night.”
“…”
This man!
The store manager laughed aside, “Mrs. Tasis, you are so happy, President Jonathan really loves you very much.”
Jonathan Tasis pulled a bank card from his black wallet, “Swipe it.”
“Okay, President Jonathan, this way, please.”
After purchasing the wedding dress, Jonathan Tasis personally drove Eleanora Lozada back to Villas del Condado Azul.
Jonathan Tasis asked her repeatedly, “It’s Christmas, are you sure you don’t want me to walk you outside again?”
Actually, Eleanora Lozada was in a very bad mood today; she had just destroyed a living human being and it was impossible for her to be in a good mood.
He shook his head and said, “No, you better get back to work, you don’t need to drive me back, don’t you have a driver?”.
“Analena, you know that nothing is more important to me than you.”
When he got into the car, Jonathan Tasis handed him the new phone and said, “A new phone, I’ve put the phone card in for you, but it’s a new card, I’ve saved my cell phone number on it, use it for a while, let me know if you don’t get used to it and we’ll pick out a new one.”
Eleanora Lozada picked up the phone and looked at Jonathan Tasis.
Jonathan Tasis laughed and pinched her cheek with his long fingers, “Why are you staring at me like that?”
She took a deep breath, lowered her face, held the phone and said, “Jonathan Tasis, you’re too good to me.”
So good that, impeccably, he put all his feelings first.
“Consider it a debt I owe you from a previous life, I have been good to you, accept it, no need to feel burdened, if you want to return the favor, just give me your life.”
“Do you really want to marry me?”
Jonathan Tasis drew her into his arms, chin resting on the top of her head, and said sweetly, “If not you, who do you want me to marry?”
Eleanora Lozada asked: “I heard from Dr. Julieta … that you used to like Estrella Berrocal a little bit. Is that … true? I don’t want to blame you, before everyone gave me up for dead and it was justifiable that you liked another woman.”
Jonathan Tasis looked deeply at her, then a small wry smile appeared at the corners of his eyes, “Analena, are you jealous?”
“I’m not, I’m just curious…. she … seems to look a little bit like me.”
“Well, a little bit, but you have different personalities, and I approached her before only because I wanted to deal with Adán Rouco, and I never liked her.”
“Ah.” replied Eleanora Lozada.
Jonathan Tasis’ smile deepened, “I’ve explained a few things and just ‘oh’? There’s nothing else you want to ask?”
Eleanora Lozada was about to speak when urgent news suddenly came over the car radio.
“At 10:05 am, a black car with North license plate AXXXXX has been involved in an accident on Bohai Bridge, the owner of the car has crashed into the sea along with the car, the cause of the accident is still unknown, search and rescue teams are doing their best to save and rescue the car, the life and death of the owner is currently unknown, this traffic accident has caused a traffic jam on Bohai Bridge and also caused panic among the general public…”
Eleanora Lozada’s teary eyes were shaking hard.
Jonathan Tasis visibly felt the little woman in his arms shudder.
“What’s the matter, did the fear of having sunk into the ocean come back to haunt you?”
“…”
Jonathan Tasis hugged her tightly, crushing her head in his arms and sighing, “Don’t be afraid, I’m not going to the office today, I’m going home to rest with you.”
Eleanora Lozada buried herself in his arms, her hands clasped around his neck, repressing the urge to cry.
He should have been glad that Adán Rouco’s men and car had fallen into the sea.
But instead, she was overwhelmed with fear, nervousness, dread.
Jonathan Tasis’ large hand, gently stroking his hair, frowned as he saw the number of the car that had just been on the news, which belonged to Adam Rouco.
…
The villas of Repulse Bay.
Estrella Berrocal went to the nearby supermarket to buy groceries, she planned to make a nice dinner and buy some candles for the evening, then in the afternoon she herself would make a birthday cake for Adán Rouco and surprise him with a birthday cake in the evening.
After buying a bunch of groceries and steaks, the cashier sighed as she looked at the television hanging over her head at the checkout.
“Hey, this guy’s car went into the sea, it must be hopeless, how did he have such a bad accident.”
Estrella Berrocal also looked up at the television when a reporter was cut off.
“Hello everyone, this is Bohai Bridge, right here there has been a serious car accident half an hour ago, as you can see the bridge fence behind me has been smashed and search and rescue teams have been recovering the owner, but so far, no results …”This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
Estrella Berrocal, seeing the cashier with an astonished look on her face, remembered: “Boss, let’s settle my account first”.
“Ohhhhhh, okay.”
After paying, Estrella Berrocal was about to leave with the food package when her cell phone rang.
The caller ID was from the Rouco family mansion.
Strange, why was Roberto Rouco calling her all of a sudden?
Estrella Berrocal picked up the phone: “Hello, Dad?
“Something has happened to Adam, have you seen the news?”.
Estrella Berrocal’s face froze, “What, what news?”.
“Adam’s car, and the man, have crashed into the sea at Bohai Bridge.”
“…”
Fingers went limp and the phone crashed to the floor.
The shopping bag that Estrella Berrocal was holding in her hand was scattered on the floor.
Her face paled as she turned and ran back to the fresh food store, grabbing the remote control from the cashier’s hand.
The cashier frowned, disgruntled, “Hey! What’s wrong with you?”.
Estrella Berrocal ignored her and, with reddened eyes and a trembling voice, asked, “What station was the news on just now!”
The cashier was surprised by her appearance, “Holy City TV.”
The news was still on when Estrella Berrocal switched to La Ciudad Santa.
Her eyes, staring at the TV screen until the reporter said, “Police are still contacting the family of the owner of AXXXXX North …”
Estrella Berrocal stared at the string of license plate numbers, carefully confirming each number several times, a number … that she knew very well.
But he didn’t believe it.
