Inside the studio.
Old K opened the safe and handed Claudio Belles a small, delicate metal box with an oil painting.
“Miss Claudio, President Eduardo guessed before he left for the western border that perhaps in his absence you would know what happened between you and him ten years ago. You were the one implicated and he said he had no right to hide it from you.”
“This box was also explained to me beforehand by President Eduardo and was given to you. Inside there must be something from ten years ago between you and President Eduardo. ”
Claudius Belles took the small, unassuming steel box and was slightly puzzled, “So, … why don’t I remember anything you’re talking about?”.
Old K said, “I was once sent by President Edward to investigate Miss Claudio’s memory, and what I discovered was that at that time, after Miss Claudio fell into the sea to save President Edward’s life, she was rescued by the men of the Ming organization and during her coma, the men of the Ming organization hypnotically sealed this memory of Miss Claudio’s mind with President Edward. ”
Claudio Belles frowned, “Hypnotic abduction?”
The only three people who have this medical ability in the Ming organization are Esteban Zaragosa, Tom Paul and Yanamaria Felix.
“But this memory, if Miss Claudio wants to meet him, President Eduardo has said that Aurelio can help Miss Claudio retrieve it.”
Claudio Belles gritted his teeth, that damned Eduardo Tercero, what was he doing telling her these things after he was gone?
If he hadn’t known these things, he would have left today for a life of luxury.
Was he now expecting her to run to the western border to ask him for clarification?
She is not going.
Claudius Belles said coldly, “No, I have things to do, I’ll leave you.”
Old K saw Claudius Belles about to leave with the box and asked sharply, “Where is Miss Claudius going?”.
“Get out of here, didn’t you say it was because of me that they sent Eduardo Tercero to the western frontier? I am in no condition to stay with Eduardo Tercero, and now that Eduardo Tercero is not here, no one will stop me from leaving. It is good for you, Sir. Eduardo, let me go”.
Old K: “…”
Shouldn’t one fly straight west to run to President Eduardo when one knows these things?
This woman, is she really hard-hearted?
…
Claudio Belles left the R’s.
Upon arrival in La Ciudad Santa, as soon as he landed, the first call was to Esteban Zaragosa.
“I’m at the airport in The Holy City, drive and pick me up.”
With these words, Claudio Belles simply hung up the phone.
Esteban Zaragosa would have absolutely flayed Dulcina Calvo if he had dedicated himself to hypnotizing her memory ten years ago.
…
In the morning, Dulcina Calvo is still sleeping like a little pig in Esteban Zaragosa’s arms.
Esteban Zaragosa receives a call from Claudio Belles and moves to get up, only to wake Dulcina Calvo.
Dulcina Calvo slips her arm around his waist and growls with her eyes closed, “What are you doing up so early, husband?”
“Claudio just called me and told me that the person is at the airport in La Ciudad Santa and asked me to come pick her up.”
Dulcina Calvo closed her eyes and went back to sleep, first with an “mmm” and then, after about three seconds, Dulcina Calvo suddenly sat up with a start.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at his little wife who was acting like a little crazy and couldn’t help but laugh, “Such a reaction to the mention of Claudio?”.
Dulcina Calvo scratched her disheveled hair, turned her head toward Esteban Zaragosa and asked anxiously, “Didn’t you say he was with Eduardo Tercero in R? Why has he come to La Ciudad Santa to see you again? Is he going to kidnap you again for something dangerous?
Esteban Zaragosa frowned and reassured Dulcina Calvo: “Not really, she may have come to La Ciudad Santa on vacation…”.
“I know her better as a person, it’s okay, she must be up to something!”
Esteban Zaragosa raised his hand to rub the little girl’s little head and said softly, “Aren’t you sleeping?”.
Dulcina Calvo got up, “No more sleeping, I’m going with you to see Claudio Belles and I’ll keep an eye on you, I can’t let him steal you.”
She got up with a quick movement, it’s the first time I’ve seen her get up so abruptly in the middle of the winter morning.
Esteban Zaragosa watched her small back as she searched for clothes in front of her closet, holding her forehead and smiling helplessly.
For the rest of her life, Mrs. Jiang feared that she would always live in the shadow of Claudio Belles’ domain.
Esteban Zaragosa could not understand, “Dulcina, you are not even afraid of me, why are you so afraid of Claudio Belles?”
“Of course I’m not afraid of you, you obey me in everything. That Claudio Belles woman is another story, I’ve had a heart attack every day I’ve spent with her, that woman, she pulls out a gun at the drop of a hat. She’s coming to our house later and I’m very afraid of scaring little Bo.”
Esteban Zaragosa: “…. But how do I see it, doesn’t little Bo love you as his real mother every time he sees her?”
Without looking back, Dulcina Calvo launched, “Po is a horny!”.
“…”
The corners of Esteban Zaragosa’s mouth twitched; what kind of mother would say that about her son.
