Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

He crossed the corridor to the kitchen.

Severo wore an apron, a spatula in one hand and a hood in the other.

His back was to Allyce and he was tall and confident.

As if sensing someone behind him, he looks back at Allyce, turns his head towards the fire and asks: “How about a lighter supper?

It was as natural as if the two had lived together as a couple for a long time.

Allyce pursed her lips and tried to say something before turning back towards the corridor.

He kicked off his slippers and sat on the sofa with his knees propped up on his arms, pressing and squeezing the remote control with one hand, finally stopping on a movie channel.

The pompous expressions and exaggerated voices of cartoon characters did not enter his eyes or ears.

After a while, the voices in the kitchen stopped.

“Dinner is ready.

Severo’s voice came from behind her, followed by the subtle but distinct clink of a plate falling on the table.

Allyce got up and walked over, sitting down at the table and hesitating to make a move.

She didn’t move, and neither did Severo.

Severo raised his eyes and looked at Allyce: “Not to your liking?

I knew she used to have a slightly stronger taste, and today’s dish was in fact a little lighter.

Allyce leaned back and spoke casually, “Go ahead, I’m not hungry, go home when you’re done”.

Severo’s face twitched, then relaxed: “Xabat called me that night because it was very important.

Allyce looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Severo took the floor to explain: “The night of the village at the top of Cloud Bay”.

It was better that he didn’t say anything, but when he did, his whole body shot up.

“I’m going to go out and get something to eat and then I’ll be on my own. Allyce finished and then remembered the car she had returned in earlier that day.

Rising, he handed her the keys to the Rolls Royce: “Your car”.

Severo looked at her suspiciously, didn’t reach for her, just looked her in the eye and said, “Allyce, give an answer”.

Allyce froze, not expecting him to ask her so openly.

Severo’s eyes sharpened and he looked at Allyce as if he were facing a sure prey.

“What makes you think that if you ask me, I’ll give you an answer?”

Allyce gave a charming smile, “Well, Mr. Betances, if you tell me what you want to get me for, I might consider it, after all, there aren’t many people as rich as you who have eyes for me.

The confidence and assurance on Severo’s face bothered Allyce slightly.

He was asking her directly for an answer, so she wanted to ask him for one too.

He wanted everything to go his way, he wanted her not to ask too many questions and he wanted her to follow him willingly.Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Severo was not bothered by his words, on the contrary, he said: “There are things I will explain to you when the time comes to tell you”.

Allyce snorted, the smile disappearing from her face, “Then, when the time comes that you can explain, we’ll talk.

“I think it’s two things.” Severo frowned slightly, “Regardless of the previous agenda, I meant it when I married you, and I’m sure that’s something you can feel.”

“How nice it would be if you wanted a dog and bought it with the same sincerity, and besides, I wouldn’t be looking for explanations or so much trouble”.

Allyce taunted him: “It’s nice to have a dog, as long as you’re nice to him, he’ll be devoted to you and nothing else.

Severo, who had not been in the mood at all, seemed to have finally got angry with her and called her name in a cold voice: “Allyce!”

“I can hear you, don’t shout so loud.” Allyce’s expression was lazy and impassive.

When Severo saw her disinterested look, his expression turned colder and his eyes glowed with a strange light: “Do you really think I have to have you?”

“No, I don’t think so, you have all kinds of women you want, you just slept with me one night and got interested, I know.”

Allyce lifted her chin and glanced at him before turning her head to look away.

“Very well.” Severo stared at her, “Very good, Allyce.”

He said two “very good” in a row.

That sent a shiver down Allyce’s spine.

Without waiting for Allyce to say anything else, Severo grabbed the keys to the Rolls Royce, got up and walked out.

Allyce sat still in her chair, in fact she was tempted to remind Severo that she was wearing her pyjamas.

…

Severo came out with the car keys and didn’t even take the lift, he went straight down the stairs to the bottom.

He had slept all night and all day and his fever had barely broken, and he was already a little weak, and when he came down, his whole body was panting.

He drove the car to the village of Cloudy Bay, and only when he got out of the car did he realise that he had run back in his pyjamas.

Severo’s face darkened and he slammed the car door shut with a loud bang.

He looked at the car and his eyes sank a little deeper.

This was the same car the woman had driven!

Severus entered the village and called Xabat.

Xabat was making fun of one of the new interns when he received a call from Severo.

A little surprised that the boss had called him so soon, had he brought Miss Delahoz out so quickly?

If that’s the case, the boss should be in a good mood right now….

In that case, could you get him a few days off?

As soon as the call was answered, Severo’s words, “Get your ass to Cloudy Bay right now”. Severo’s words, “Get your ass to Cloudy Bay right now,” immediately dashed their hopes.

Life is not a fairy tale.

…

When Xabat arrived at the villa, Severo had already changed his clothes, a well-tailored black suit that fitted his large frame, making him increasingly unapproachable.

“Boss?” Xabat watched Severo’s face carefully.

He was so pale that his plan had failed and he had not managed to convince Miss Delahoz to come back.

Severo straightened his cufflinks and handed him the car key.

Xabat took the keys, what did the boss want?

Severo gave him a cold look: “Take it away now, I don’t want this car in sight any more.

“Xabat blinked, so he could drive the car himself?

It was a limited edition Rolls-Royce that he liked, but he hadn’t saved enough money at the time, and now the owner was generously giving it to him.

You must have made peace with Mrs Delahoz, right?

“Boss, you and Miss Delahoz she …”

Xabat was mid-sentence when he felt the temperature in the room plummet, and the words that followed stuck in his throat.

Severo sneered, his voice eerily cold: “If you mention Allyce again, I’ll send you to work in South Africa.”
