Chapter 287: What you can’t see
Severo’s hand, resting under the dining table, slowly tightened.
His body seemed rigid and his whole body was like a taut rope.
Half a day later, he slowly raised his eyes to look at Allyce, his eyes full of broken stars, his voice as deep as if it came from the deep sea.
“Have I set you free? Then who will set me free?”
He looked at Allyce like that and, for the first time, there was something in his dark eyes that Allyce could see.
It was, broken and dreary.
Such emotions did not please Severo at all.
Suddenly, Allyce felt panicked.
Women are born with a soft heart.
Indeed, in his perception, Severo was the man who could do anything.
“I don’t understand what you’re saying, I have to work, I’m leaving now”.
Allyce picked up her bag and headed for the door in panic.
…
All afternoon, Allyce was distracted.
When I was working, I was also in a trance.
When it was finally time to leave work, I didn’t want to work overtime and was ready to go straight back.
When he arrived at the office, he saw a familiar figure.
Gabrio’s face had a spring-like smile on it and his voice was bright: “Allyce”.
“Gabrio”.
Allyce was stunned before she took a step closer.
“You didn’t even let me know you were back.” Gabrio raised his hand as if to touch her head, but then withdrew it as if thinking of something.
Allyce pretended not to see the gesture and said with a smile, “I thought I’d buy you dinner when I was done.
He had only emailed two people since he had left.
One was Lucila and the other was Gabrio.
He was able to meet Lucila openly because he knew Lucila’s great personality.
Lucila does not think deeply about many things.
Gabrio, on the other hand, had a delicate heart, a steady maturity for his age and a gift for getting to the bottom of things.
In front of him, she always felt she could not hide anything.
He was also a doctor …
Gabrio laughed and shoved his hands in his trouser pockets: “Just for today”.
…
In the restaurant.
Gabrio moved gracefully to cut his steak, his voice calm as ever: “What has been done in the last two years?”
“Nothing different than now, just working and studying, but it’s been very satisfying. Allyce paused for a moment as she cut the steak.
Gabrio smiled reassuringly: “A girl shouldn’t be so preoccupied with her career, she should have an easy time.
Allyce laughed and joked: “If you’re already naturally beautiful, don’t live so pretty, give those single girls another way to live”.
“Good point.” Gabrio laughed out loud at his amusement.
Allyce laughed with her.
But then Gabrio added: “But I think Uncle Delahoz also wants you to have an easy life in his heart.
Allyce’s face lingered a little and she put down her knife and fork, her face clouding over for a few moments.
There was a more important reason why he had returned to Cloud Cit, and that was his father, Orlin Delahoz.
“I’m sorry.
Gabrio’s heart clenched at the look on his face, knowing that Orlin Delahoz was something Allyce would resent if he mentioned it.
He felt a little angry.
Allyce had watched her grow up.
From his childhood to his teenage years, he had been part of it all.
Allyce lowered her eyes, hiding her gaze beneath them, and spoke in a somber voice, “Dad wasn’t found, my uncle had asked for connections to help me find all the, prisons my dad might be locked up in, Gabrio, do you think, my dad he, is really …”
is already dead.
Then, Enzo had also said that his father was dead.
But how could I believe it?
But after Desiderio helped her find him, she could do nothing to disbelieve it.
The Alvidrez family was the richest in the north, and it was not difficult to help find someone who had gone to prison.
But, in reality, there was nothing to find.
Desiderio was patient and had his men help him find him again and again, but there was really no news.
Gabrio asked him: “Your uncle?
Allyce’s head lowered a little more and she sniffled, “Desiderio, the Alvidrez family from Ciudad del Cielo”.
A flash of surprise crossed Gabrio’s face.
Allyce’s parents had moved in next door to Gabrio and the others after they got married.
Allyce’s mother’s health was a little weak and it took her a few years of post marriage conditioning before she began preparing for pregnancy.
Thus, Orlin Delahoz, the first son of the Delahoz family, had a daughter two years younger than Eric.
However, luck was still not in the Allyce family’s favour.
Allyce’s mother died in childbirth while giving birth to Allyce.
Gabrio was five years old when Allyce was born.
I had an impression of Allyce’s mother, a very gentle and beautiful woman.
But I was too young to know much about Allyce’s mother’s past.
Gabrio sighed, “I didn’t think it was the Alvidrez family”.
“I still find it hard to believe, Gabrio, for more than ten years I have believed that my father was alive, I have believed that one day he would come back to me and I would be reunited with him, I have believed, I have believed for so many years …”
Allyce’s emotions suddenly boiled over and she became a little incoherent.
Tears streamed down her cheeks like broken beads.
His arms across the table tightened, his thin hands clenched with bruises.
Gabrio regretted for the millionth time the mention of Allyce’s father.
But there was nothing I could do to comfort him.
Allyce was a transparent person at heart, but she had a different kind of obsession when it came to her father.
He had been obsessed for many years.
She was fourteen when it happened, and she couldn’t understand how her gentle and elegant uncle Delahoz could have done such a thing.
He asked his father, who just shook his head and said, “When you grow up, you’ll understand.
Yes, as he grew up, he came to understand.
Orlin Delahoz could not be the kind of person who would do such a thing, and the reason it happened to him was that he was set up.
There was no denying that the rest of the Delahoz family had also set him up.Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
Casimiro was the owner of the Delahoz family and Orlin Delahoz either offended or took the blame for someone else when something happened.
The rest of the Delahoz family, on the other hand, took the opportunity to get involved.
There are many things that go on in the gentry family that are not visible.
And these were clearly not the right words to say to Allyce at the moment.
Gabrio let out a long sigh, his heart sinking.
He took a handkerchief and handed it to Allyce.
At that moment, a figure suddenly jumped out, grabbed Gabrio by the lapels and lifted him up, “What have you done to him?”
Allyce looked at Severo’s sudden appearance and froze for a long moment before reacting, “Severo, what are you doing!”
