Chapter 196: Linda’s diary
The two of them gathered their things and went downstairs together.
Just as they reached the platform, the bus Lucila was waiting for arrived and she waved to Allyce and got on.
Allyce waited for the bus to leave and decided to take a taxi back.
He was about to hail a taxi when a familiar Rolls Royce pulled up in front of Allyce.
Xabat poked his head out of the car, in an anxious tone: “Miss Delahoz, did you just get off work?
Allyce shuddered slightly, not expecting to see Xabat here.
“Such a coincidence?”
Xabat seemed to have expected me to say that and smiled: “It’s no coincidence, it’s the boss who asked me to pick you up.
Had Severo asked Xabat to pick her up?
Allyce, with little expression on her face, narrowed her eyes and asked Xabat: “What did you want with me …?”.
Xabat gave a mental sigh of “The boss is so predictable” before continuing with a smile: “Well, it’s about the case that happened earlier at the spa.
He got out of the car and opened the door for Allyce.
As soon as Allyce knew that this was the case, he followed Xabat to the car.
She thought Severo would be in Kimdis to talk to her, but Xabat took her straight to Cloudy Bay.
…
As soon as Allyce got out of the car, Xabat said “goodbye” and left.
Allyce looked back, what was she doing running so fast.
It had been almost ten days since she had been back to the villa and Allyce stood at the front door with mixed feelings.
She pulled out her keys and opened the door, when her pet calf jumped out of nowhere and pounced on Allyce.
“Meat,” Allyce said as she knelt down to stroke his head.
“Woof~”
The beef rubbed Allyce’s head and “woofed” as if to show it was happy.
Allyce held his head and rubbed it, looking down the hall, knowing he didn’t understand, but asking him anyway: “Tell me, is your father here?
beef just blinked at me with a dumb look on his face.
Allyce smiled, closed the door and headed upstairs.
There was no one in the studio either, Severo was not supposed to be back yet.
Allyce went inside and, just as she reached the window, she saw a car coming this way, not far away.
As he approached, he realised that it was Severo’s car.
Allyce’s mood drifted a little.
He turned to go downstairs just as Severo pushed open the door and walked in, looking as if he was in a hurry.
Looking at Allyce, who was standing at the top of the stairs, he looked slightly dazed for a moment and said: “There you are.
“Hmm.” Allyce replied indifferently.
Silence hung in the air.
Severo went to the kitchen and poured himself two glasses of water, walked over to the sofa and sat down, taking one glass of water for himself and pushing the other across the table.
Allyce made herself comfortable and went to sit across from him, but did not touch the glass of water.
Severo’s eyes sunk slightly.
“I …”
“You …”
The two men did not expect the other to speak at that moment as well, and both froze at the sound of the other’s voice.
Allyce thought for a moment and said: “Is there something you want to see me about?
Severo sniffed and spoke: “You can sit here first, and in half an hour it will be time for dinner.Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
With that, he got up and headed for the kitchen.
Allyce froze and called him: “Severo”.
Severo looked back at him at the sound of his voice and said nothing.
Allyce opened her mouth, but the words “I thought you said you were here to talk about something” didn’t come out.
He looked at her in such a way that she could not say the words with the implication of rejection.
…
Half an hour later, three plates and soup were on the table.
Two vegetarian dishes and one meat dish with beautiful colours.
Allyce looked at the plates on the table, bent her head slightly and began to eat in silence.
Since that day in Kimdis, when he had treated her like that because of the baby, she had not returned to the cloud village, nor had she eaten his food.
Sitting at the same table with him again, Allyce had the inexplicable feeling that it had been a long time.
Seeing that Allyce was hesitant to eat, Severo spoke quietly, “You have no appetite?
“No, I’m not really hungry, I’m full, I’m going to wait for you to finish eating, let’s talk about things.” said Allyce and put down her chopsticks, looking like she was waiting to talk to him about something.
When Severo saw her “say something” look, anger flashed in her eyes, and her hand tightened around her chopsticks, but she said nothing.
As he ate slowly, Allyce sat across from him, feeling a little uncomfortable about watching, so she pulled out her phone to check.
As a result, he opened his phone and flipped through the pages to see a headline.
“Wife of the Delahoz family in a murder case!”
When she saw the headline, Allyce’s heart skipped a beat and she clicked on it to see that it was Elvira.
It didn’t say who it was, but the description was clear: it was Elvira!
There were already a lot of truthers in the comments.
“No wonder your daughter’s engagement is broken off!”
“It’s not because that girl seduced her husband, is it?”
“Gee, there’s a lot of trouble with the rich and famous, but I’m lucky to be poor!”
“…”
A lot of people in the comments were speculating wildly, and it all seemed very esoteric.
Allyce had read two pages of comments and felt that none of them said anything close to the truth.
And in fact, I did not know Elvira’s motive for Linda’s death.
He looked at the news again, less than twenty minutes had passed and the Delahoz family should know by now.
As if on cue, the phone vibrated as she thought this.
It was Senona calling.
He thought about it, put it on mute, put it away and did not answer.
When he looked up, he met Severo’s dark eyes: “Who’s calling and why aren’t you answering?
There was a hint of questioning in his tone, which made Allyce feel uncomfortable.
“I didn’t want to answer.” Allyce turned her head and looked away.
Without another word, Severo picked up the table and turned to go upstairs.
Allyce had to follow him and together they entered the studio.
Severo went behind his desk, took out a small book and handed it to Allyce.
“What is it?” asked Allyce curiously, reaching out to take it.
“Linda’s diary.” said Severo, and took out a cigarette to light it.
When it was lit, he put the lighter down again with a frown, crushed the cigarette and threw it in the trash.
Allyce sat to one side and quickly flipped through Linda’s diary.
The diary was already a bit yellowed, on the front it was still a few small, very trivial girlish moods, nothing special.
He knew Severo must have given him that diary because it contained important information.
Allyce thought about it and quickly turned the pages to the period four years ago, when Linda had falsely accused her.
