For so many years, Jorge Carlos ate alone.
Although Dylan accompanied him, after all, they were two old men, so there were not many topics to talk about between them. How bitter!
George was not born to be alone, he had enjoyed life with his wife and daughter, and many mistresses. Without his inner strength of heart, it was impossible to live life like that for such a long time.
Now his youngest daughter was with him.
Although the other daughter was not by his side, his grandson came with his relatives, it was a family of three. Oh no! It was already a family of four.
Zain also attended with Alice.
Those present contained eight people, including Dylan and Jorge.
How lively!
Jorge was smiling, it was a laughter that appeared in his eyes, heart and face, and Jack was sitting next to him, which pleased him more.
For Jack, Jorge had more sympathy for Alice than before.
In fact, he had hardly ever sympathized with Alice, with his pride, he could say never.
However, Jack’s company was like a brainwashing of Jorge, if he made an assessment of sympathy to Alice, it would be seventy out of a total of one hundred points.
But he was still proud, so he could not express his satisfaction for Alice, leaving his dignity.
Good thing he had greeted Zain, and then the two of them had talked for a while.
They were responsible for the same group, so they had a lot to talk about.
It didn’t take him long to rectify his opinion about Zain, Jorge considered him to be a reliable person.
During dinner, Jack spoke many times for Alice in front of Jorge.
However, Raquel Sanchez was distracted, looking at so many people, her thoughts were going through her mind, and she was reminded of the past.
At that time, she was very little, her older sister was the one who was the nicest to her.
Since she gave birth to Raquel, her mother had some health problems, she spent a few years in bed, even though she had used many expensive medications, she finally left the world behind.
When her mother passed away, Rosa Sanchez became the one who was most kind to Raquel.
She took care of Raquel as her daughter. Jorge was very sad for the death of that woman, in fact, it had been bad, and then, defeated by the longing, for that reason, many matters of the company were postponed.
Then, after putting his wife’s affairs in order, Jorge had many things to undo, and he ignored his daughters naturally.
At first, his daughters understood him, but gradually, the relationship between them became weaker and weaker.
For the children, the parents’ company was very important.
But the words that the two girls heard the most were that Jorge would have some work commitments, they would not have to wait for him to have dinner together.
Initially, they saw less of each other, and then, they had no time to be together.
Raquel scoffed in her heart at the thought of this.
-The only virtue of Jorge is that he fell in love with his wife sincerely, Mom passed away very early, his price was already astronomical, many women wanted to be with him, however, they did not pay attention to them.
-The widower does not marry anyone, nor flirts with anyone.
-The pity is that he wants to control everything in his hand.
-He forced Rosa to marry the son of his business associate, and he forced Rosa and I to abandon the family.
-If he hadn’t done it, Rosa wouldn’t die…” Raquel thought.
-Raquel! -shouted Jack.
When Raquel was lost in thought, an immature voice woke her up. She raised her eyes and met Jack’s innocent and curious looks, he asked, -Why are you crying, Raquel?
Hearing that, everyone present turned their heads to Rachel out of curiosity.
Raquel was stunned, touched her cheeks with her hand unconsciously, and tears wet her.
-Am I crying? I didn’t realize that,” Raquel exclaimed in her heart.
For her, it was unforeseen, what she had done was to remember the past, and then she was lost in thoughts.
She did not overcome the flood of memories, and cried.
-It’s a blunder.
-There are a lot of people here, besides, most of them are from the younger generation,” Rachel thought.
At that moment, Rachel stood up at once, and showed a laugh, though it was forced, and explained, -It would be because of the spicy dishes, I’m going to wash my face.
After the words, she turned around and went to the bathroom.
The phenomenon started to get weirder by that parenthesis. Although Rachel kept a laugh on her face, after her departure, everyone was no longer in the mood to talk.
Even Alice was worried about her. After a while of thinking, he put the chopsticks down on the table, and said, getting up, -I’m going to take a look at it.
No one held him back, Kennedy said in a low tone, “If you need me, let me know.
-Okay,” Alice replied.
Alice was also going to the bathroom, the Carlos family home is very large, with the help of the servants, finally, Alice managed to find the bathroom.
However, what she did not know was that, after her departure, Kennedy said to George, who was sitting in front of him, “Grandfather, I have something to tell you.
When Alice reached the bathroom, she thanked the servants. They replied that they were not needed with reverence and fear, and then went out.
Alice went into the bathroom, thinking she would have to look for him for a while, however, with only a glance, she managed to find that Rachel stood there transfixed, leaning against the sink. Tear tracks were still left on her cheeks. She seemed to be in no hurry to get out, that’s why she wasn’t washing, when she entered the bathroom.
Hearing the sound of footsteps, Rachel turned her eyes in the direction. When she realized it was Alice, she smiled to herself, and said, -you’re coming.
Alice stopped her footsteps, and looked at Raquel in confusion.
For she was Kennedy’s aunt, but, in reality, she was not very intimate with her. Now, seeing her laugh with tears, Alice was very sad.
-In fact, you didn’t have to come, I can control emotions well,” Raquel said at that moment.
Alice moved her lips slightly, and approached her and stood next to her, she gave her some napkins.
-Wipe them, Raquel,” Alice said.
She looked at the napkins for a while, and took it, Raquel took one of them to wipe the tears, sniffling, and said, -actually, I remembered the past, and I felt a lot of emotion, they were not for sadness.
-But the tears came spontaneously, if Jack didn’t remember me, I wouldn’t know,” Rachel thought.
-The past… -Murmured Alice.
-Yes, that man… It’s his fault, if he didn’t force us, we wouldn’t run away from the house. If we didn’t run away from the house, we wouldn’t… my older sister, Rosa, who is your mother-in-law, wouldn’t die.
