Chapter 334: Sufficiently explained
Allyce nodded absently and said: “Uncle, take care of your health, don’t get too tired.
Desiderio raised his eyes to look at Allyce, a dark current running through his eyes.
…
Desiderio did not stay long before leaving.
Allyce was distracted, working on paperwork in the office.
Finally, it was time to leave the job.
Instead of going straight home, Allyce asked Lucila to meet her for dinner.
She drove to Neto’s office and picked up Lucila, and the two went together to the night market.NôvelDrama.Org owns all content.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve been here, I didn’t expect it to be so lively”.
Lucila pulled Allyce along, pacing enthusiastically here and there.
Allyce followed Lucila, her mood was much better under Lucila’s influence.
Suddenly, Lucila turned her head and asked Allyce: “What would you like to eat?
Without waiting for Allyce’s answer, she said to herself, “What should I do? I want to eat everything.
“Then eat a bit of everything,” said Allyce.
The two made their way through a food street and found another congee stall.
Once Allyce and Lucila sat down, Lucila continued to talk about Neto.
Allyce laughed with him when he said something funny.
The mobile phone in her bag kept ringing.
Allyce finally relented, picked up the phone and said to Lucila, “It’s a bit noisy in here, I’m going to take a call from the side”.
Lucila waved her hand, motioning for him to leave, not forgetting to say, “Go and come back quickly, there’s a bit of noise around here, pick up the phone and hold it tight”.
“Yes, I’ve got it, I’ll be back soon”.
Allyce’s palms were numb as she walked to the side with the phone, she should have turned it off in the meantime.
Allyce stepped away to pick up the phone and spoke loudly, “What’s wrong?”
Before he could utter the last word, Severo’s angry voice sounded on the other end: “You asked me what’s wrong, Allyce, what time is it?
Allyce rubbed her forehead: “I was shopping with Lucila.
“You went shopping with someone else, didn’t you know you should call and say so? Severo’s tone was still tinged with a touch of anger.
Allyce took a deep breath and said in an impatient tone, “So you know, do you? That’s all for now.
With that, he hung up the phone immediately.
He was about to put the phone away when a figure passed in front of his eyes.
Then Allyce realised that the phone in her hand had disappeared.
Allyce froze for a moment before reacting: “My phone! Catch the thief.
Lucila, who was on the other side, heard her and hurried to ask: “What’s wrong?
“That man snatched my phone. Allyce blurted and gave chase.
Lucila had to follow his example.
When the two reached it, there was no sign of the thief who had snatched the phone.
Allyce took a frustrated puff at a lamppost.
Then he got down on his knees and bent over, panting heavily.
“It’s just a phone, if it’s stolen, it’s stolen, just ask for a replacement phone card later. Lucila reassured her out of the corner of her eye.
Allyce shook her head and tugged Lucila towards the barbecue stand next to her, “Boss, a dozen beers”.
“Allyce, what’s wrong with you? I have to work tomorrow …” Lucila hesitantly sat down, still holding the menu in her hand and asking.
There was only beer at the stall.
Allyce usually dined with Severo and drank good wine.
This ordinary beer was a little difficult for him to drink.
She drank a little and then didn’t bother to drink any more, and only returned home after she and Lucila had had their fill.
…
It was eleven o’clock when he got home.
The villa was brightly lit.
As soon as he entered, he saw Severo sitting on the sofa watching television.
He looked at Severo.
He was dressed in a dark grey lounge suit, his hair slightly damp, his elbow resting on the arm of the sofa, holding his head, his other hand holding the rocker and constantly changing channels.
Allyce stared at the TV screen for a few seconds and felt her eyes blur.
“I’m going up first.
He said faintly and prepared to turn around to go upstairs.
Just as she turned around, she heard Severo’s careless voice behind her: “Your phone’s been off, you’re back so late and you’ve been drinking?
Allyce stopped dead in her tracks and turned to look at Severo.
Severo also casually let go of the crank in his hand and looked back at him, a dark mockery in his dark eyes.
“Allyce!”
“I lost my phone, it’s only eleven o’clock, it’s not too late, and I’ve only had two drinks, or beer”. Allyce explained with indifference and little expression on her face.
Severo’s face flushed, “You lost your phone? How did you lose it?”
Allyce spoke with a calm face, “After I answered your call, they took it away from me, is that clear enough? I’m going to take a shower.
With that, she turned around and was about to go up the stairs, but Severo quickly stepped forward and pulled her back.
Severo then looked at her carefully.
Allyce was already upset, and didn’t know how to say what she wanted to say or ask the questions she wanted to ask.
“As long as you don’t have any problems I’m relieved. But Severo’s face suddenly lightened, releasing her, saying: “Go upstairs and take a shower first”.
Allyce was slightly stunned and ignored him, so she went straight upstairs.
…
In the bathroom, Allyce stood under the shower and did not move for a long time.
Ariela Betances, Severo Betances.
Orlin Delahoz, Allyce Delahoz.
Was it fate?
What was Severo trying to do?
How to talk to Severo, how to explain everything to him.
He lingered in the bathroom for a long time until Severo’s voice with a hint of agitation sounded outside: “Allyce, come out quickly”.
“I want to wash some more!” She still hadn’t figured out how she was going to talk to Severo.
Severo was suddenly in a bad mood: “I need to go to the toilet!
Allyce snorted and had to get dressed and leave.
As soon as he opened the bathroom door, he saw Severo standing in the doorway.
He stepped to the side: “You can go in and use the bathroom.
Severo looked at her deeply, and after a long moment, he sighed inaudibly and said, “What is it, tell me if there is something wrong? Don’t keep it to yourself and get angry”.
He said, reaching out to rub her hair, his expression relieved.
Allyce was stunned for a moment and stepped back, avoiding his hand and walking around the side of his bed.
As she got into bed, she realised that Severo was still watching her.
He pulled back the sheets, closed his eyes and said: “It’s OK, I’m going to bed, don’t wake me up.
Severo stood in front of the bathroom door without moving, but his gaze sank a little.
