Chapter 252: A rift
The maids of Delahoz are exceptionally proud and loyal.
Oliveria was no different, and once she heard that Izar was thinking of Severus and Tagus, she took him at his word.
They exchanged a few more greetings and Oliveria left.
Izar watched Oliveria walk away until her figure disappeared, and a hint of jealousy crossed his face.
How could a woman like Allyce be worthy of carrying Severo’s child?
And what he had to do now was not to let either Severo or Tajo know that Allyce was pregnant.
Although I had always felt that Severo was too confused to be with Allyce, I could see how good Severo was with Allyce.
And Tagus, who was half-Eastern at heart, certainly had his eye on the bloodline of the offspring.
If Allyce gives birth to this baby, maybe Tajo will accept her as Severo’s wife …
No, as long as she, Izar, is around, this will not be allowed to happen.
…
Allyce took Beef by the hand and walked very slowly.
When he arrived at the park, he let go of the leash and let Beef play on his own.
Beef ran through the park and after a while he came running back, rubbing up against Allyce and cuddling her.
Allyce reached out and stroked his shaggy dog’s head, in a soft voice: “Running is dirty, I’m not going to hug you”.
“Owwww …”This is the property of Nô-velDrama.Org.
As if he understood, Beef groaned twice in aggression before suddenly turning and running in the other direction.
Allyce panicked and was about to go after him when he saw Severo approaching from a short distance away.
Beef ran towards Severo and stopped, wagging his tail, before following him meekly.
As soon as he returned, he ran to the bench where Allyce was sitting and stood close to it, as if he feared Allyce would be taken away from him.
Allyce lost her smile and reached over to take him in her arms, nudging him twice on the nose before looking at Severo.
“What brings you here?”
His voice was soft and faint, dissipating cleanly as soon as it left his mouth.
Severo closed his lips and spoke: “Didn’t you say before that you didn’t feel well? And in the cold.
“Well, it’s coming back.
Allyce said and put Beef on the ground and let him go alone.
When Beef hit the ground, he leaned on his leg as if he had no bones.
Seeing this, Severus gave him a cold rebuke: “Beef!”
As soon as Beef heard Severo’s rebuke, he straightened up like a general who has heard his orders and ran in the direction of the village with great energy.
After a short run, he turned around and noticed that Allyce and Severo had not followed him, so he cocked his head and watched them, and when he saw that they had not moved, he simply sat on the ground and waited.
Allyce shoved his hands in his coat pockets and pulled away, but was caught off guard when Severo pulled him into his arms.
“Allyce, tell me, what have you been thinking about?
From the beginning, he thought he was going to be with Allyce for the rest of his life; he had not deliberately hidden Allyce, nor had he used any means to prevent Tajo from investigating Allyce’s information.
Of course, there were parts of the details that he deliberately withheld so that Tajo could not find out.
He felt that everything was in his plan, that everything was in order and that there was nothing wrong with it.
Tajo, like many of the elders in his family, wanted to send his children and grandchildren on their way, but Severo had chosen the harder and more difficult path since the age of fourteen, and had fought Tajo on everything over the years, even in the case of Allyce.
He could take care of everything for Allyce, but not for Tajo, who was his own grandfather.
According to his grandfather’s nature, he chose to stay in the background.
Everything was under his control.
However, he noticed that Allyce seemed less and less happy, and that she was not fussing with him.
In the morning, she could clearly feel her emotions getting out of control, but instead of arguing with him or making a scene, she went upstairs to rest.
His mind felt vaguely agitated.
“I didn’t think anything of it.” Allyce struggled slightly twice, finding Severo’s grip too strong to release completely, and stopped struggling.
Severo pursed his thin lips, there was a thin anger but he held it back.
He even wished Allyce would make a fuss about him, at least he would know why she was unhappy.
“After New Year, Grandpa will be going back abroad, soon, so if you are unhappy somewhere, be sure to let me know.”
After a long while, Severo whispered these words.
Allyce smiled, a trace of movement passed across her face, and the hand that had been dangling at her side twitched, but in the end, she did not lift it to return his embrace.
Women are born with a maternal nature and a tolerant heart towards men.
Indeed, he was unhappy.
It was said that a secure status could take one off guard.
Izar said she would only cause problems for Severo.
It was true, how many times since he had known Severo, he had been in charge of fixing his mess.
And Tajo’s sudden arrival put a crack in Allyce’s peaceful status quo.
He had more important family members and left her alone in the hospital without even bothering to say goodbye.
It was proof enough that Tajo meant more to him than she did.
And he knew that Tajo would approach her and say nothing.
Didn’t he know that she would also be nervous and upset?
Everything, it seemed, was under his control, and when he came to it again, it had become a fact.
Allyce slowly pulled him aside, looked him in the eye and said earnestly: “Don’t you think we still know too little about each other?
“What else do you want to know?” asked Severo back in an impatient tone, unhappy with the empty feeling in his arms.
“Well.” I really didn’t need to know any more about her, after all, I knew everything.
Allyce tugged at his shirt, “Let’s go back, then.”
With that, he turned and walked forward.
Severo looked at his slender back and noticed that he seemed to have lost a round of weight in the last few days.
Inwardly, he couldn’t help but feel a little annoyed with himself.
He had been so busy with grandfather these past few days that he hadn’t bothered about Allyce any more.
…
The two returned to the villa one after the other, and it was time for dinner.
The kitchen, which used to belong only to her and Severo, was already full of older cooks.
They put a good meal on the table, but Allyce didn’t feel like it.
A servant stood up to pour the wine and Izar, sitting opposite Allyce, suddenly spoke: “Miss Delahoz, join us for a drink.
“He’s not well enough to drink these days”.
Without waiting for Allyce to say anything, Severo had already rejected her.
Izar’s face turned a little ugly, but he recovered quickly: “It’s OK, I’ll drink on my own.
