Chapter 222: Playing with your life, it’s not worth it
Because she was so surprised, Allyce’s voice was a little loud.
The others at the table turned their heads to Allyce and watched.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
Severo looked up with a sullen look, and the rest of the group flinched at his gaze and unconsciously averted their eyes.
Allyce didn’t notice this, but asked in an uncertain voice: “Are you telling the truth?
“Why would I lie to you?”
Severo asked instead of answering.
Of course, Allyce knew in her heart that Severo would never lie to her.
But …
Allyce couldn’t help but turn her head again to look at the young woman sitting next to Eric, with a kind face.
On closer inspection, he realised that the woman looked very much like Linda.
Feeling Allyce’s gaze, the woman looked up and smiled slightly at him, giving the impression of being unusually calm and comforting.
Allyce nodded imperceptibly at her, and seemed to understand a little of why Eric had been enchanted by the woman.
…
After dinner, Allyce decided to stay overnight with the Delahoz family.
Severo had no problem with this and if she wanted to stay, he accompanied her.
While Severo was in the bathroom taking a shower, Allyce decided to go for a walk.
She had not lived with the Delahoz family for several years, and when she returned to China, she also lived in a rented flat, so she was not really very familiar with the Delahoz family.
As he climbs the stairs, he meets Leira carrying a tray.
Leira was the name of the woman Eric had brought back, as Eric had said earlier at the dinner table.
“Miss Sada”.
Allyce offered a voice to greet her, her eyes passed over the tray she held, a bowl of soup.
Leira noticed his gaze and looked down at the tray, smiling, “I’ve made Eric some soothing soup, he hasn’t been sleeping well lately, would you like some?
She was so gentle and elegant, a far cry from the homely little girl I had known.
Allyce was amazed by Linda’s family situation, of which Allyce knew a little.
A woman like Leira, though of lower status than Eric, is still, according to Eric’s character, something Allyce feels Eric does not deserve.
“No, thank you.” Allyce nodded slightly in thanks.
Leira smiled and said no more, picking up her feet and continuing to walk down the hill.
Allyce’s gaze never left her.
What Severo had told him earlier was that Leira was Linda’s sister.
Severo had researched Linda in detail before and had met Leira, so he knew her.
Linda’s diary mentioned her sister, and although it was only a few words, Allyce got the impression that she was a very bold and determined person.
She was a very different person from the Leira in front of me.
The two sisters had grown up together and must have had a strong bond, but she had not even been at the trial and was now in the Delahoz family ….
Its purpose, Allyce had guessed.
“Miss Delahoz really doesn’t need a bowl of soothing soup?”
Leira, who was in front, suddenly looked at Allyce.
Her eyes were unusually clear and Allyce thought of something and nodded.
Leira smiled brightly, “Come with me to the kitchen then”.
…
Once in the kitchen, Leira poured Allyce a cup of soup.
“Taste it and see if it’s to your liking.” Leira handed the soup to Allyce, her eyes gazing at it intently.
Allyce took a sip under her watchful eye and Leira’s tone was a little wistful: “My sister loves my soup, but I rarely have time to make it.
There was a wistful look on his face.
Allyce’s gaze narrowed slightly and her tone was light, “Really?”
“Hmm.” Leira replied, her tone suddenly sinking a few notches, “I know Miss Delahoz isn’t like the rest of the Delahoz family.”
Allyce’s hand over the bowl of soup tightened a few notches, “It’s not worth losing your life”.
When Leira said that, Allyce was even more certain that she was trying to get revenge on Eric’s family, Elvira had been convicted, but there were others.
“It’s all I can do, even though my parents left a long time ago, I lived with Linda and still felt like I had a family, with Linda gone I don’t have a home and I don’t want to leave them too much alone.
Leira’s voice gradually cooled and hatred rose in her eyes.
Allyce looked at Leira, unmoved by the extremes of her thoughts.
She was suddenly envious that Linda had a sister who loved her so much.
Allyce knew all too well what the Delahoz family was like, and Leira might be a little more than the average girl, but what could she do?
Although Eric is in love with her, it is Casimiro who rules the family.
If Casimiro thinks there is something wrong with Leira, he can send her to hell.
“The Delahoz family is more complicated than you think.” Allyce still couldn’t resist reminding him.
Leira smiled, her eyes steady, as she opened her mouth to say the words, but she had changed the subject: “How’s the soup?
“Tastes good.” Allyce froze, nodding her head in praise.
“Leira!”
Senona’s voice came suddenly from outside the door.
Allyce shot a surprised look at Leira, astonished by her caution.
Senona had entered from outside.
“Allyce, what are you doing here too!”.
Senona’s gaze became subtle as she entered and saw that Allyce was also here.
“You’re all in this together, aren’t you? You deliberately got this evil woman to seduce my father!” Senona accused Allyce loudly and aggressively, as if she already had the evidence.
Allyce snorted, thinking Senona’s words were rather funny.
“That’s not right sister, Miss Sada is uncle’s girlfriend, what’s she got to do with me? Besides …”
Allyce cast a meaningful glance at Leira’s stomach before continuing, “Miss Sada is pregnant now, you’d better be careful and pay more attention.”
He was deliberately provoking Senona, and as he saw her face turn white with anger, he realised how good it felt to add fuel to the fire.
“Leira”.
Seeing Leira’s delay in returning, Eric had sniffed around for her.
Senona’s face, already frighteningly white, suddenly became even uglier.
I’ve only seen Leira for a little while and Eric has approached her on his own… Does he care that much about this woman?
The next moment, Eric’s figure appeared in the doorway.
He just looked around for a moment before striding over to Leira, “Is everything alright?
Seeing Leira standing there with her head hanging slightly docilely, and knowing his daughter’s character well, Eric naturally had the preconceived idea that it was Senona who had given Leira a hard time again.
