Chapter 332: I have a husband, don’t you?
Severo sat on the edge of the bed for a long time before getting up and going to the bathroom to wash briefly, turn off the light and lie down on the bed.
He gathered Allyce’s soft body in his arms, but his heart was a little sour.
On Orlin, he had stopped halfway through his investigation.
Because he feared that the results would not be satisfactory.
While I was willing to trust Allyce’s instincts, I didn’t want to gamble even if there was only a one in 10, 000 chance that the outcome would be unsatisfactory.
If Allyce had not been so determined to find out, it would not have occurred to her to reinvestigate the case.
Eric had said nothing of practical use, but one thing was clear: Orlin was innocent.
Orlin loved Allyce, and whether he was the killer or not, it was impossible for him to seek death without spending a few days in jail.
There is only one truth, and that is that someone killed Orlin.
Even if someone later recanted, there would be no proof of death.
And the person who killed Orlin was the real killer.
And in Cloud Cit at that time, it was possible to buy someone in prison to kill a convicted prisoner … who was also a member of the Delahoz family …
The identity of the man behind it is no longer a great mystery.
It’s just that …
Severo’s arms around Allyce tightened unconsciously.
It was clearly late spring, but he felt as if it was the middle of winter.
…
The next morning, the first thing Allyce did when she woke up was run to the bathroom.
“Severo!”
He shouted Severo’s name and opened the bathroom door to find it empty.
Then he remembered that Severo had served him water to drink last night in the middle of the night.
He slapped his forehead, he was very sleepy.
Allyce put on some clothes and ran downstairs.
Halfway down the stairs, he saw Severo sitting in the hallway, reading a newspaper and drinking coffee.Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Beef was sitting to one side, looking curiously at Severo’s coffee, opening and closing his nose to smell it, but he was afraid of Severo, so he just watched.
Allyce was on tiptoe, trying to run back, when she saw the newspaper in Severo’s hand and stopped, smiling at Severo’s back and saying, “Good morning!”
“Mmm.” Severo didn’t turn around.
Allyce hesitated and asked timidly: “Where did you go last night? What did you have to deal with in the middle of the night?
Severo put the newspaper he was holding on the coffee table, not really a big move, but in the eyes of Allyce, who had done something wrong, it was a sign that he was angry.
At that moment, Severo straightened up, turned his head towards her and said in a calm voice: “Why don’t you ask me how I got out of the bathroom?
Allyce averted her gaze, not daring to meet Severo’s eyes, and looked away, taking in the beautiful words, “How could you possibly have walked through a bathroom door? You’re so good and so cool.
“Thank you for the compliment.
Severo grunted coldly and turned to leave later.
Leaving? … Leaving?
Allyce froze for a moment before chasing after her.
By the time he ran for the door, all he could see was the noble rear of the black Bentley, which disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Allyce couldn’t help but brush against Beef’s head, who ran after her: “Is your father so mad at me for locking him in the bathroom that he won’t even make me breakfast?
Beef cocked his head to look at her, “Woof woof~”
Why did he get the impression that Beef’s bark smacked of gloating?
“What’s there to be happy about? I don’t have breakfast, you don’t have breakfast, I have a husband and you?” Allyce grunted, went to her room, changed and went to the office.
He had just entered the office and had barely warmed his chair when Ester came in with a delicately wrapped bag.
Allyce instantly recognised it as one of Kimdis’ special takeaway boxes.
With a smirk on her face, Esther placed the bag in front of Allyce and said, “Kimdis’ people’s breakfast”.
Allyce looked at the bag with the Kimdis logo on it and froze for a moment before saying, “Thank you”.
Ester nodded slightly and turned to leave.
Allyce unwrapped the bag and smiled at the delicious breakfast inside.
She knew that Severo, the man who loved her, would not really be angry.
…
It was probably because of the magic of that breakfast that Allyce was in a good mood all day.
In the afternoon, when he went out to run errands, he ran into Eric.
He stared at Eric with his arm in plaster for a while before recognising that it was really Eric.
After thinking about it, she decided to approach him.
But before she could get close, Eric turned his head and saw her coming, and as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes widened and he turned and ran as fast as he could.
Allyce looked at Eric’s back and touched her face in amazement, was there something scary on her face or had she done something invisible to make Eric so afraid of her?
The question remained open until the night she met Severo.
Allyce bristled and said, “I saw Eric, my uncle, today, and he ran like crazy when he saw me, I don’t even know what I did to him to make him so scared of me …”
Severo’s face was motionless, “Oh”.
Allyce added: “I see you have your arm in a cast …”.
This time he didn’t wait for Allyce to finish before explaining: “He broke it at Kimdis, he had dinner at Kimdis last night and he broke his arm when he got drunk.
Turning his head to see Allyce looking at him with a puzzled expression, he added: “Xabat said so.
Allyce blinked, “I didn’t ask you, why do you talk so much?”.
Severo spoke faintly: “You would have asked anyway”.
Allyce smiled and turned her head to look out of the car window without speaking again.
…
In the restaurant.
Allyce flipped through the menu, glancing occasionally at the door.
After a few moments, Gabrio’s figure appeared in the doorway of the restaurant.
“Gabrio, over here. Allyce smiled and gestured towards Gabrio’s hand.
Gabrio smiled back and quickly approached him.
He sat down opposite Allyce and asked with a smile: “Did you order?
“Waiting for you to order together.” said Allyce with a smile.
Gabrio raised an eyebrow and said with a wry smile: “I thought you would get angry and ignore me.
“What are you talking about? If you keep saying that, I’m going to ignore you.” Allyce gave him a feigned look of annoyance.
Gabrio didn’t mind and took the menu and ticked off a few dishes, basically Allyce’s favourites.
When the waiter left, Gabrio looked at Allyce and said: “Go ahead, what do you want from me?
“I can buy you dinner even if there’s nothing there.” Allyce smiled brightly, as if she was really looking for him for a simple meal.
The smile on Gabrio’s lips did not spread.
Allyce narrowed her expression and chuckled: “You’ve seen it.
