Chapter 248: My wife, Allyce
Without waiting for Allyce to answer, the phone hung up.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
Allyce then looked away and froze, before putting the phone away and walking to the opposite side of the road.
As soon as he approached, he heard Severo say, “Come on up.
Allyce was about to open the car door when Severo stepped forward and opened it before her.
He got into the car, fastened his seat belt and watched Severo get in from the other side, his face tense with thought.
The car slowly slid forward, Allyce gripped the seatbelt and pursed her lips for a moment before speaking, “That, the car …”.
“It’s confiscated. Severo interrupted her coolly.
Allyce blinked innocently, if he hadn’t confiscated her driving licence, would she have driven “without a licence” and had her car confiscated?
If he had accidentally fallen on the road, would he not have been allowed to continue walking?
But with Severo’s personality, it’s hard to say.
Allyce unconsciously sat up straighter.
Severo hadn’t said a word to him since he got into the car.
He turned his head to look at Severo’s cold, handsome face and remembered what Tajo had said earlier.
It was clearly a meaningless comment, but coming from Tajo, Allyce was not the least bit offended by it.
However, the atmosphere was unusually heavy.
While waiting for the red light, Severo suddenly asked her: “What do you want for dinner?
“Anything.
Allyce replied in a grumpy voice and turned her head to look out of the window.
Severo turned his head to look at her, his gaze deep and indistinct.
…
Severo took her to Kimdis.
Probably because she knew that Tajo lived here, Allyce couldn’t help but feel a little nervous when she arrived at Kimdis.
Severo parked the car and walked over, took her by the hand and entered Kimdis.
They went straight to the restaurant on the third floor.
The waiter came over to lead the way, but Severo just waved his hand and let the waiter go.
He led Allyce directly to a private room.
“Grandfather.
Allyce followed Severo and looked up at the sound of his voice. She saw Tajo, with whom she had been “talking” all afternoon.
“Here you go.” Tajo slowly put down the magazine in his hand and looked up at Severo.
Seeing Allyce, he withdrew his gaze as usual.
Severo took Allyce by the hand and walked over, squeezing her shoulder and pulling her to Tajo’s heels: “This is my grandfather.
Severo’s strength was too strong for her to try to break free, so she spoke stiffly: “Grandfather.
Tajo did not respond immediately.
Then Severo stood up with Allyce: “Grandfather, this is my wife, Allyce”.
There was no emotion in his voice.
Tajo did not respond immediately, and Severo continued to stand there, and Allyce felt a silent depression.
It was only after a long moment that Tajo turned his head to look at Severo, casually shifting his gaze to Allyce, his voice surprisingly showing some kindness, “Sit down.”
Only then did Severo pull Allyce into a seat.
Allyce turned her head to look at Severo, she didn’t understand what Severo was referring to and why he had suddenly brought her to see Tajo.
I was completely confused as to what these two men were thinking.
The food was even more depressing.
Even when she was having afternoon tea with Tajo and he had said those words to her, Allyce didn’t feel so depressed.
When the meal was over, neither Severo nor Tajo left or spoke to each other.
Allyce excused herself to go to the bathroom.
When he returned, he stopped the conversation after hearing it again inside.
“What do you mean?” It was Tajo who spoke first.
Severo’s voice was as calm and pleasant as usual: “As you can see, I have brought my wife to see you”.
Tajo suddenly snorted: “You know very well that I saw her this afternoon”.
“In any case, I should have presented it to you formally, as I should have done. Severo’s voice was a little strained.
Through a doorway, Allyce could feel the tension inside.
But what shocked him the most was that Severo knew beforehand that the person he was going to meet was Tajo?
“You still like to mess with me!”
This time, Tajo spoke in English, with authentic British pronunciation.
Severo’s tone wasn’t much better: “You’re the one who likes it”.
Allyce could understand what they were saying in English, but she could not understand the deeper meaning of each sentence at all.
But she understood one thing: Severo had known all along that she had gone out this afternoon to see Tajo.
And he thought to himself that he was trying to avoid Severo and not let him know that he had gone to see Tajo.
But the atmosphere when Severo and Tajo were talking was clearly that of two opponents in a game of chess, of which she knew nothing and was a pawn at the mercy of the others.
Tajo’s words may not have been directed at her, but at Severo.
And Severo’s attitude of not saying a word was also directed at Tajo.
I couldn’t tell what the mood was, I just didn’t feel like going back in.
Allyce pursed her lips tightly, shoved her hands in her coat pockets, took the lift to the ground floor, found a corner in the lounge area of the lobby and sat down.
…
After an unknown amount of time, another group of people came out of the lift and Allyce looked around and saw no sign of Severo.
Maybe they knew she wouldn’t come back to the box, so they wouldn’t come looking for her either.
Allyce smiled to herself and looked away.
“Allyce?”
A slightly familiar voice suddenly sounded behind her.
Allyce turned unconsciously and met Enzo’s excited eyes.
She was a little startled and stood up quickly, looking at him suspiciously: “What are you doing here?
He remembered that Gabrio had told him earlier that Enzo’s injuries were not too serious and that he would be released soon, but that it was best to stay in bed and recover later.
Enzo simply ignored his words and asked him in turn: “Are you alone?
She hadn’t seen Enzo since she heard the news that the Aybar family had dropped the case, and on closer inspection, she noticed that Enzo had lost a lot of weight and looked as good as ever, but the look in his eyes made Allyce very uncomfortable.
Without even thinking, he replied: “No”.
“Here with Severo?”
He took another step forward, approaching Allyce, with a twinkle in his eye.
Allyce shouted at him: “What do you care who I came with?
Then, turning around, he tried to leave.
But Enzo, who had been watching her, was quicker than she was.
He grabbed her by the wrist, and there was a piercing coldness in his voice: “Do you hate me that much? Can’t you even say a few words like a friend? Can’t you wait to leave?”
