Chapter 326: Beating me up for another man?
Xabat stood at Severo’s back.
He raised his eyes and looked carefully at Severo’s expression, to see also his tightly tensed jaw.
After a long moment, Severo put the piece of paper back in and turned his head to ask: “When did it arrive in the post?
“It arrived last night.
Xabat finished and added: “I haven’t found out who sent it”.
As he had not found out who had sent him, Xabat realised the seriousness of the situation and specifically asked Severo to come and check.
“Of course, keep this a secret, and make sure you find out who sent this delivery”.
When Severo finished speaking, he nonchalantly tossed the messenger’s paper bag in his hand onto the desk: “Destroy it”.
Having said that, he asked her as if he had suddenly remembered something: “Any news of Amado Mejía?
Xabat’s tone was a little puzzled: “He has not been found in the country”.
“Then broaden the search.
Severo finished and turned to leave, with some haste in his step.
Allyce was still waiting for him to eat.
Xabat replied behind him: “Yes”.
…
Allyce pulled up a chair beside him, and Severo jumped on it, sitting obediently, looking as if he was waiting to eat.
Allyce froze and reached out to pat his head, laughing, “How did you know I was going to bring it to you to sit on?Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Beef stroked his hand, pouting.
At that moment, Severo pushed open the door and entered.
Allyce looked at him: “Here you go”.
He looked at Beef and raised his eyebrows.
Allyce saw this and said out loud, “You’re spoiling him, aren’t you? I didn’t even tell him to sit down and he did.
He said, pointing to Beef.
Severo sniffed, raised his hand and coughed uncomfortably against his lips and said, “Xabat is too busy to take him out, and I don’t feel comfortable with anyone else, so I carry him with me all the time when I’m in Cloud Cit”.
Although he felt a little spoiled by Beef, Allyce liked Beef so much that he was fine with it.
Allyce couldn’t help but smile as she imagined Severo taking Beef with him to meetings, business gatherings and client dinners.
Beef is silly and nice, and Severo is serious and cool, which is a perfect combination.
…
After dinner, the two were ready to go home when they met the Delahoz family in the lobby.
Cloud Cit is a big place, but Kimdis is the only one.
In and out, it was easy to find each other.
“Allyce!”
It was Eric who called her first.
Allyce heard her name called and looked up, seeing Leira first.
Linda’s sister, Eric’s wife.
Leira felt Allyce look at her and smiled slightly.
Allyce’s gaze lowered to the little boy Leira was holding in her arms.
The child was about a year old and held a toy gun in his hand, muttering something to himself.
Allyce stared at him for a couple of seconds before looking away.
Eric didn’t have to wait for Allyce’s response, though his heart wasn’t happy, but he still spoke smiling, “When are you free to come home for dinner, it’s been so long since you’ve been back to Cloud Cit …”
“Now that you’ve said that, Delahoz family, I’m definitely going to make time to come back.”
Of course I was going to see the Delahoz family, it just wasn’t as simple as going to lunch.
When he returned to the Delahoz family, he was going to make sure that the Delahoz family paid the price.
Allyce’s tone was not polite, and Eric felt embarrassed, but he couldn’t be angry.
After all, Severo was still standing behind her.
Severo stood behind Allyce with a sombre look on his face, his impatience hidden.
He grabbed Allyce’s shoulder and looked casually at Eric, “Is there anything else, Mr. Delahoz?
Eric was quick to say: “Nothing else, if Mr. Betances has time …”.
“I’m busy.
Severo said and left with Allyce in tow.
These people from the Delahoz family …
In the car.
Severo drove and Allyce teased Beef.
Beef was sitting in the back and curiously stuck his head through the gap between the two seats in the front, Allyce squeezed his mouth shut.
Allyce squeezed his mouth to prevent him from opening it, and Beef continued to stick his head out.
While waiting for the red light, Severo tapped his fingers on the steering wheel several times.
After some thought, he asked Allyce: “Do you know what has happened to the Delahoz Group in the last two years?
Allyce looked up at him: “The Delahoz Group?
Severo noted the change in his expression and said slowly: “Someone is secretly targeting the Delahoz group.
“Who?”
Allyce seemed interested to hear this.
Severo pursed his lips thoughtfully and decided to tell the truth: “It’s Desiderio Alvidrez .”
“It’s my uncle!” Allyce reached out nonchalantly and gave him a sharp smack on the head.
Severo’s brow furrowed slightly and his tone was one of resentment: “You beat me for another man?
“… He’s my uncle. Allyce hesitated for a moment before speaking.
Was it necessary?
Desiderio is his uncle, and Severo is totally and deliberately angry.
“Is he like that? Is he good to you?” So good that he hid her from him on purpose?
Many things Allyce could not know, he knew.
He also speculated about Desiderio’s intentions.
But, so far, there was no definitive evidence that it had any definite purpose.
It seemed to him that Desiderio was not a simple man.
He even had the feeling that he would have to face Desiderio head-on in the future.
Before that, I needed to find out what kind of person Desiderio was in Allyce’s mind.
Allyce responded without hesitation: “Very good”.
Severo snorted, turned his head and ignored her.
Allyce reached out and touched his face: “OK, not as good as you.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, he saw the corners of Severo’s lips lift.
Allyce mentally marvelled at how she had found this man so easily cajoled before.
However, what he had just said …
“Why did he make a move on the Delahoz group?” She believed what Severo said was true, but she didn’t think Desiderio had to.
Severo raised an eyebrow: “I don’t know”.
Allyce glared at him and, before he could say anything, his phone rang.
He pulled it out and saw that it was Desiderio who had called.
Severo glanced sideways and also saw the caller’s note on his phone.
Allyce picked up the phone: “Uncle.
On the other hand, inside Sky City airport, Desiderio was at the boarding gate, followed by his assistant and his bodyguard.
He looked at the crowd in front of him and his voice trailed off: “I am leaving now to come to Ciudad del Cielo, yes, this afternoon”.
He said a few more words and hung up the phone.
Handing the phone to the men behind him, he slowly and methodically smoothed his clothes, sharpening his gentle eyes.
Cloud Cit, Severo, Jonás Aybar, Delahoz family …
Very interesting.
