Chapter 274: Blame it on a mother’s indiscretion
Desiderio had been gone a long time and Allyce had not slept.
Sleep was very important to her these days.NôvelDrama.Org owns this text.
It was difficult to stay awake until dawn.
Allyce got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he changed and went downstairs, he saw Desiderio sitting in the hallway reading the newspaper.
“Good morning.
Desiderio greeted Allyce and, without moving, placed the newspaper in his hand in an inconspicuous corner.
Allyce watched his movements and pursed her lips, her face slightly nervous: “Good morning, Uncle.
Desiderio smiled when he heard his “uncle”.
After lunch, Desiderio took a phone call and went to his studio for an impromptu meeting.
Allyce went to the corner and pulled out the newspaper that Desiderio had put there earlier.
Although she was prepared, Allyce’s eyes fell on the photo that took up most of the newspaper’s page.
In the background was a jewellery shop where Severo and Itzal were standing at the counter, both with their heads lowered and their gazes aligned on the same ring.
The image was frozen in time and Allyce could not guess what they were saying, whether they were discussing whether the ring looked good or not ….
A maid came rushing over, seeing her reading the paper, she hurriedly snatched it away from her, in a slightly reproachful voice: “Miss Delahoz, you’d better not read this now, the words are too small and take your eyes off, you should rest now, otherwise it’s good for your health …”
Allyce was in no mood to worry about what the maid was saying at the moment, so she memorised the name of the shop in the paper and turned and ran.
“Miss Delahoz!”
The maid was very anxious to see her run away.
Allyce ran to the door and found Desiderio’s car parked there, without thinking, simply opened the door and got in, driving away.
The maid followed her from behind and was so frightened to see Allyce drive away that she ran back to the villa and went to the study to look for Desiderio.
“Mr. Alvidrez, Ms. Delahoz has left by car …. We could not stop her …”
Desiderio looked up, his face was kind and completely unperturbed, “I see”.
The maid said to herself: “Mr. Alvidrez is such a good man, so good to Miss Delahoz.
Only when the maid had left did Desiderio get up and go to the window to look out.
His gaze rested on the now empty door and his gentle eyes sharpened.
By now, Severo’s people were still looking for Allyce, and there was no way to hide it, which is why he had brought Allyce here.
Some of what had happened so far had been a little unexpected, but it would do as long as the end result was coherent.
Whatever happened, he had to leave today, otherwise he wouldn’t be able to resist Severo’s searching so hard, and sooner or later he would find Allyce.
He was a good guy who was dedicated to helping Allyce when it mattered, so he couldn’t let Severo get in the way.
But, on the other hand, Severo is quite devoted to Allyce ….
…
Although Allyce was born and raised in Cloud Cit, it took her a long time to find her way out.
Even with the navigator on, he was distracted and made several false turns before he found the jewellery shop.
It was a jewellery shop with all the best brands in the world, the same place where I had bought Severo’s tie pins and cufflinks before.
Allyce stopped across the street and stared blankly at the entrance to the jewellery shop across the street, wondering why she had come here.
It was at that moment that two familiar figures came out of the jewellery shop.
Izar grabbed Severo’s arm, who pulled it away with an impatient gesture.
At this, Allyce’s heart leapt and a flash of joy shone in her eyes.
But the next moment, after Izar approached Severo and said something to him, when she went to take Severo’s arm again, he did not pull it away.
Allyce knew that Severo sometimes had a convoluted personality, and the back-and-forth scenes turned into what seemed to her like a bit of flirting.
As she watched the two walk towards the car park, Allyce slowly rolled down the window to get a better look.
It was at that moment that Izar suddenly looked in Allyce’s direction.
Allyce was surprised and hurriedly rolled up the window, started the car and sped off.
…
Izar looked to where the black car had left and then, turning to Severo, said: “I remembered that I have a party tomorrow night and I need a pair of earrings as an accessory …”.
“Hmm.
Severo only replied coldly and pushed her arm away: “I’m going to see grandfather in the hospital.
With that he strided away.
Izar stayed where he was, gritting his teeth in hatred.
But as she thought of the familiar face she had just seen passing by, a cold smile crossed the corner of her mouth and she hailed a taxi to follow her.
…
Allyce was driving slowly and didn’t know what he was thinking.
Suddenly, a taxi was blocked in front of her, and she could only brake quickly.
The next moment, a woman got out of the taxi, approached Allyce’s car, opened the passenger door and sat down.
Although the woman was a little overdressed, Allyce recognised her immediately: “Izar?”
Izar took off his sunglasses and turned his head to look at Allyce with a proud expression: “How does it feel to be left out?
Allyce’s grip on the steering wheel tightened involuntarily, his expression cold: “Picking up the rest of my men, you seem to enjoy it too!”
“You!” Izar glared angrily at Allyce and laughed angrily, “You’re really the one who didn’t have a mother or father to raise you, you don’t have any education!”
“Shut up!” Allyce turned her head to look at Izar, and ice seemed to shoot out of her pretty peach blossom eyes.
Izar tensed at the look, but quickly recovered.
His gaze shifted to Allyce’s lower back and he spoke meaningfully: “It’s a shame that a little life was lost, it’s all the mother’s fault for misbehaving …”.
Allyce clenched her hands and looked at her fiercely, “What do you mean?”.
“Severo had you examined by Dr. Betances before, you think the doctor would be so incompetent as not to find his anomalies in your body, but why didn’t he tell you? Of course it was because Severo didn’t trust you, and seeing you with Enzo that day confirmed what Severo had in mind, otherwise why would he have gone with me and not taken you with him?”
Izar watched with satisfaction as Allyce’s face turned white, and felt nothing but pleasure in his heart.
Izar raised his chin and spoke slowly: “Severo was only fooled by you when he favoured you in the past, and if you appear before him again, guess what he will do to you. So you’d better not appear in front of him.
Allyce felt as if her throat was clogged, she choked and couldn’t say word.
So, that was it.
He was reluctant to believe Izar’s words.
But he could not find any holes in Izar’s words.
After everything that had happened before and after was perfectly connected, she was horrified to discover that the truth could be what Izar had said ….
Severo did not believe her, he doubted her.
As she struggled to escape from the group, jumping out of the window and aborting, she broke down and cried … he was already discussing her marriage to Izar.
When Izar saw that Allyce kept her head down and said nothing, he knew he had achieved his goal and made a satisfied face.
Allyce didn’t know when Izar got off the bus, nor how he got back to Desiderio’s house.
“Where have you been? If you don’t come back, I’m going to turn Cloud Cit upside down, you know that!”.
As soon as he walked through the door, Desiderio approached with an anxious look on his face.
Seeing Allyce’s sad face, her face tightened: “What’s wrong?”
Allyce gave him a long look before whispering, “Dude, I’m coming with you to Sky City.
