The next morning, unlike usual, Macos was up very early.
He dressed up quickly, as he was in the same house as Ariana and wanted to make a good impression on her.
After washing up, he checked that Umberto was also well. The two looked at each other and both headed together to the kitchen.
-You seem to be in a good mood,” Umberto said.
Macos smiled shyly:
一It’s the first time I live so close to a girl I like, and I’m a little excited.
Umberto had never seen someone who looked as naive as he did, but he didn’t know how to be embarrassed.
He ignored Macos, otherwise he would have wanted to punch him when he saw his smug look.
Macos was quite talented in the kitchen, and although he was not skilled, Umberto tasted it and found it tasted unexpectedly good.
Santiago had lost again in this area.
Umberto knew him, who was only good at gambling and knew nothing about cooking.
By this time, Macos had already prepared breakfast. Ariana and Albina got up and ordered.
Seeing him leave, Ariana rushed to help:
-Let me help you.
-It’s not necessary, be careful with the heat.
Macos behaved like a gentleman. The sunlight is projected, as if giving him a circle of light.
Umberto stood behind him and thought silently:
“How could he have burned his hand on this plate, this guy is so shameless!”
-Wow, you made breakfast so fast. I was ready to help you,” Albina said embarrassed.
Macos smiled and waved his hand:
-Although my skills are a little rusty right now, I’ve tasted it and it tastes pretty good. I’m sure it will improve in the future.
Umberto did not embarrass him and poured Albina hers.
Noticing this scene, Macos also followed suit and very conscientiously helped Ariana prepare it.
Suddenly, he felt that there was also a lot to learn from Mr. Santangel.
Back then, when his relationship with Albina was so bad, they could still get back together, so it was clear that Mr. Santangel was always worth it.
As soon as Umberto raised his head, he saw Macos looking at him with burning eyes:
-Macos, why are you looking at me?
His gaze was full of adoration.
Macos hastened to avert his eyes and looked at Ariana:
-Ariana, how is the breakfast I made?
His tone was intimate, making her feel a little uncomfortable. But he was animated and good-humored, so in a little less than a day, Ariana gradually got used to him.
She swallowed what was in her mouth and replied with a smile:
-It’s delicious, I like it very much.
-Thanks for the compliment, I’m very happy.
Macos smiled with joy. Since he was wearing home clothes, even though he was two years older than Ariana, he still looked as innocent as a boy, which made people remove their defenses involuntarily.
Umberto just wanted to eat in silence.
Fortunately, Macos didn’t like Albina. If Miguel was also like Macos, he feared that Albina would really be attracted to him.
After breakfast, Umberto accompanied Albina to work. In principle, Macos was supposed to follow him, but since Ariana was home alone, he deliberately delayed for a while. Anyway, he was the boss and didn’t care about being late.
Although Ariana worked at the art academy, she had plenty of time freedom. When she had changed her clothes and was ready to leave with her drawing board in tow, she saw that Macos had not come out and froze for a moment:
-Are you not going to work?
Macos smiled shyly and looked into her beautiful eyes, his heart beating faster.
She was wearing a long dress, her long hair was draped, her skin was fair and her features were beautiful. She looked very attractive.
Macos didn’t even dare to look at her, and replied:
-There is nothing in the morning. Where are you going, I’ll take you there.
He had put on a suit and, compared to a moment ago, it showed a little more masculine maturity.
Ariana said a place and Macos’ eyes lit up:
-That’s nice! It’s not far from my company, and I can walk you there. Let me know when you want to go home, and I can come back with you. It’s convenient that way.
After thinking about it for a while, Ariana didn’t refuse and nodded.
Macos immediately jumped up and followed her.
Macos walked beside her, and with a slight sidelong glance he could see the pretty face of the woman beside him.
Macos began to blush. He knew that if he kept looking at her, it would be easy for him to discover his love, but he couldn’t look away.
He liked this kind of girl, not to mention that Ariana was also his benefactor.
It was as if there was a magic about her that he couldn’t help but be attracted to and he wanted to keep looking at her until the end of his life.
-Where is your car parked?
As he stared in fascination, when Ariana turned her head to speak to him, Macos met her eyes, so he hurried to look away, startled:
-Here -he hurriedly ran over and opened the passenger side, letting Ariana get in.
He turned his gaze too quickly, so Ariana didn’t notice his fascination with her.
Macos quickly adjusted his mood and drove Ariana to her destination. He chatted with her along the way, repressing his fondness without doing anything else.
Santiago headed for the hospital looking tired. Last night he got home and remembered that Ariana had gone to stay with Albina.
He called Ariana on video and checked that she was ready for bed, so he hung up after a few hurried words.
Throughout the night, she didn’t sleep well, tossing and turning.
Several times before, when he had gone out at night without Ariana’s company, he was able to fall asleep. But this time he didn’t feel the least bit sleepy and kept thinking about her.
Santiago was no fool, and after thinking about it all night, he discovered the reason.
The previous times, it was because he knew clearly that Ariana was waiting for him at home.
Other than Albina, he had no friends in Sogen City, so he was able to fall asleep at ease.
But this time, he always felt that she was out of his control, leaving his heart in turmoil.
But then again, he couldn’t understand what it was all about. And he didn’t even have the courage to go to her.
Santiago moved on, annoyed. With a casual glance, he suddenly saw a car brushing past him.
He saw the face of the girl on the passenger side, who looked like Ariana. But since it was only for a moment, he wasn’t sure if it was her.
The girl was talking to the man in the driver’s seat. He didn’t know what the man had said to make her laugh and, for a moment, that smile made a deep impression on Santiago.
His heart fluttered and he shook his head, chasing the irritation from his mind.
“It definitely can’t be Ariana.”
Ariana was cold in nature and rarely smiled. Even when she was with him, she smiled in a particularly perfunctory way, and even during the time when they were most intimate, she had never smiled so brightly.
