Chapter 328: Or are you going to get a group of men to insult me again?
“Wait at the door with Beef while I go and fetch Xabat”.
I had something to discuss with Xabat.
He went to Xabat’s office and ordered as soon as he entered: “Beware of the man Desiderio”.
Although his brief, light conversation with Desiderio revolved around Allyce, and Allyce seemed to speak for Allyce in and out of words, Severo always felt that something was wrong.
She hadn’t crossed paths with Gabrio much, and though she didn’t want to admit it, she could sense that Gabrio really cared for and loved Allyce.
Fundamentally, Gabrio was someone who could bear no ill will towards Allyce.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
Desiderio was different, and Severo could not see his emotions at all.
Everything he said and did seemed to be prepared from the beginning.
Xabat was a bit surprised: “What’s wrong with him?”
He also knew that Desiderio was Allyce’s uncle.
Severo thought about it and said, “Don’t let Allyce find out”.
I had already dealt with Allyce and she trusted Desiderio.
He cannot let Allyce know that he is secretly investigating Desiderio.
After all, Desiderio was there when Allyce was at her worst, and he helped her, and that trust is not easily shaken.
I could only take it one step at a time.
Desiderio had better be well.
If there was a problem …
…
News of Desiderio’s arrival spread through Cloud Cit the next day.
Allyce thought she would go to the office first, but instead she was invited to do a TV show the next day.
It was almost the end of the day when Desiderio arrived at Moon Culture Media.
Allyce gathered her things and went to give him a presentation on her work.
Desiderio listened and nodded in satisfaction: “Good, good work”.
Allyce was a little pleased to receive Desiderio’s approval.
“It’s all because of uncle’s good teaching”.
Desiderius raised his eyebrows slightly and said, “Now have you learned to flatter?”
Allyce smiled and poured him a fresh cup of tea when she heard Desiderio ask, “How are things with your father?
Allyce’s face stuttered, “Not much progress”.
Suddenly he remembered what Gabrio had told him and hesitated, but said nothing to Desiderio.
“Let’s start with the Delahoz family, it’s been more than ten years, it’s hard to find out, even I feel helpless, be more patient, the work doesn’t pay off”.
Desiderio’s tone was calm and had a reassuring power.
The smile on Allyce’s face was extremely light.
…
When they returned to the villa, Severo was preparing dinner.
Allyce heard movement coming from the kitchen and quietly walked over to take a look.
This awkward man!
I hadn’t even spoken to him much since he got back last night.
She turned and was about to leave when she heard Severo, who had his back to her, say: “Come in if you want to, don’t sneak out”.
Allyce’s body stiffened for a second and she stepped firmly inside.
She grunted and picked up a piece of carrot he had just cut: “I’m not going to sneak away.
Severo slapped him on the hand: “Wash your hands”.
Allyce was stunned and not only did she not wash her hands, but she took another piece and shoved it in Severo’s mouth, threatening: “Spit it out and you’re dead!
It felt good to threaten someone, but it was only after saying the words that he felt a little short of breath.
Severo ate the piece of carrot in his mouth in silence.
Allyce saw what was happening and ran out with a “I have work to do”.
As a result, at dinnertime, two plates of yellow carrots on the table told her that Chief Betances always had a way to fix it.
So Allyce spent the night as a rabbit to keep him company.
The kind that cannot be denied or fought.
The next morning, he was in bed, unable to turn over.
Severo came out dressed and stood in front of the human-shaped bed, with a smile in his eyes, and said: “Don’t go to the office today.
Probably because he was in a good mood, there was still a hint of pleasure in his voice.
Allyce threw a pillow at him and pulled back the sheets to wrap up better.
Severo grabbed the pillow and leaned over to pull the blankets over it.
Allyce gripped it tightly, but it was no match for Severo’s strength.
He pulled the blankets off her easily, took her face and gave her a deep kiss: “I’ll be back at lunchtime to prepare your dinner.
Allyce let out a “yuck” and ignored it.
Severo let out a low chuckle and turned to leave.
After a while, he made sure he heard the sound of a car engine coming from downstairs, got up and went to the window just in time to see Severo’s black Bentley slowly drive away.
It wasn’t until the black Bentley was out of sight that she turned around and went into the bathroom, ready to wash and get up.
I hadn’t planned to go to the office today either because, well, I was going to the Delahoz Group.
…
When he came downstairs, a hearty and nutritious breakfast awaited him at the dining room table.
Allyce couldn’t help but pucker her lips and smile.
After breakfast, he headed straight to the Delahoz Group.
The receptionist at the Delahoz Group had long since changed a few more waves of people, and she wasn’t quite clear about Allyce, but she still knew that Allyce was the wife of the president of the LK Group.
So when the receptionist opened her mouth, she said “Madame Betances”, not Miss Delahoz.
The receptionist looked at her in surprise: “Madame Betances!
What was the wife of the LK Group CEO doing here?
Allyce opened the door and asked: “Is the president in?
Allyce’s tone was slightly subdued, and her florid face had a thin layer of coldness, adding to the sense of distance.
“The president has just arrived at the office, you …”, he wondered if he should let Allyce in.
It was at this point that Senona came in from outside.
Although she had married into the Aybar family, she had been working for the Delahoz Group and was not a full-time wife.
When he looked at the familiar figure, he thought he had misread it and uttered uncertainly: “Allyce?
Allyce turned her head and saw Senona with a thin face and a slightly bulging belly, her expression was a little arrogant: “Long time no see”.
The receptionist recalled that she had heard that Mrs Betances was the second daughter of the Delahoz family ….
When she saw Allyce, Senona was habitually suspicious: “What are you doing here?”
“Looking for Grandpa, of course.” said Allyce and turned towards the lift entrance.
Senona followed closely behind, her eyes fixed on Allyce, “What do you want with Grandpa?
“Is it any of your business?” finished Allyce, tugging slightly at the corners of her lips as her gaze drifted to her slightly protruding belly. “Has the baby’s father been found yet?
Senona blanched, “What are you talking about? Allyce, I’m warning you, you’d better not be talking nonsense or ….”
Allyce leaned against the lift arm with her arms wrapped around it and lazily uttered, “Or … are you going to find a bunch of men to insult me again?”
Senona’s face became even uglier: “You …”.
