Only a handful of times had Allyce offered to kiss him, and each time he could not control the pleasure in his heart.
The large hand that had been dangling at her side couldn’t help but grip Allyce’s waist, and with the other hand he cupped the back of her head, deepening the kiss.
Sensing Severo’s movement, Allyce’s eyes unexpectedly widened with a look of surprise and joy that could not be hidden.
He almost wept with joy.
Severo’s kiss was intense.
His kisses were heavy and domineering, and his arms wrapped around her waist with unrelenting force.
Allyce felt strangled, but her heart was overflowing with joy.
He closed his eyes again.
After an unknown amount of time, Severo realised that his strength might have been excessive and finally relaxed, lifting his head slightly and leaving Allyce’s lips.
Allyce was already flaccid and could only hold herself up with her strength, leaning on her arms and panting uncontrollably, her red lips already slightly swollen.
Severo rested his hand on her forehead and reached out to caress her lips compassionately, his dark pupils filled with tenderness.
Allyce’s face flushed and she ducked her head, not daring to look at him.
Severo hugged her a little tighter and kissed her gently on the forehead, then moved down to her forehead and then to her lips ….
This time he kissed gently.
Allyce felt like she was going to drown.
I really had a love/hate relationship with Severo.
When he was gentle, he made her want to die for him, but when he was cruel, he made her feel worse than death.
Severo savoured her tears before he stopped kissing her and whispered: “Why are you crying again?
Allyce just shook her head, not daring to ask why he had said those vicious words in the first place, why he had forced her to accept the divorce.
But she knew it shouldn’t be because he no longer loved her.
Suddenly it was all clear to me.
When she had decided to separate from Severo for a while because of Alonzo, he had been cold and reluctant.
Then his attitude had begun to change.
And the things she did during that time were not at all in keeping with her temperament, and now that she thinks about it, she was full of holes, but she was so upset about Alonzo that she didn’t think about it at all.
Laurinda, the captivity, her coercion of the last night …
Everything he did against her nature had one ultimate goal, to get her to agree to a divorce voluntarily.
Allyce didn’t know exactly why Severo was doing this, but she didn’t dare ask, she felt it was precious for both of them to stay together now.
He shook his head evenly, raised his hand to wipe the tears from his face carelessly and asked aloud, “Have you come to Sky City for me?”
His eyes were watery and a little puffy from his earlier tears, his voice was a little hoarse, and at that moment he wore a wary look, his whole face looking pitiful.
Severo’s heart suddenly clenched and he pulled her to the couch and sat down before wrapping his arms around her and responding weakly, “Mmm.”
Allyce’s eyes lit up at his affirmative answer and her fingers fumbled with the buttons on his collar as she asked, “And how did you know I was in Sky City?
Severo’s face paled slightly.
After a moment’s silence, he said: “The key to the box I gave you had a locator.
All that work for so long had been for nothing.
This was much more difficult than talking business.
Talking business at least allowed you to predict profits and losses and triumphs in advance.
But Allyce, the woman, was the biggest variable of all, and no matter how much preparation she had done beforehand, no matter how many possible variables she had foreseen, she would end up making mistakes.
Allyce looked at him in surprise: “Then how can you be sure I’ll have it with me at all times?
Severo held his hands and said nothing.
Of course she knew she would carry it with her at all times, because she was stupid.
In fact, he had always felt that Allyce did not have very deep feelings for him.
He knew how sensitive she was inside, he knew she had always held back with him.
But after he had hurt her like that, she couldn’t help but worry about him, tell him not to smoke, and was unable to resist approaching him …, which was a bit different from her.
He was heartily glad of it, and at the same time felt that he was too mean for such thoughts.
It was clearly his own determination to divorce her, to separate himself from her, to make her forget herself, but he couldn’t help wanting her to think of him all the time, to have only him in her eyes.
One has selfish desires, and can become greedy and vile because of them.
Only after a long while, Severo said: “Guess”.
Allyce smiled brightly and leaned into his arms, wrapping her arms around his neck without speaking again.
She felt like she was alive again, and leaning into Severo’s arms felt very real.
…
Allyce left her room and went straight to Severo’s part of the house.
After a shower, he lay down on the bed and continued to feel no more real.
Severo brought a glass of hot milk from somewhere and gave it to Allyce.
“Thank you!” Allyce was briefly surprised and then took it with a smile.
Severo’s face was not very expressive, but his eyebrows were drawn up to show that he too was in a good mood.
Allyce sat with a glass of milk while he turned on his computer and worked on his business.
When Allyce finished her milk, she looked up to see Severo with his glasses on and his computer in his hands, hard at work.
He had never seen Severo wearing glasses before and found it a bit strange.
He approached and asked curiously, “Are these glasses anti-radiation?”
She knew there was nothing wrong with Severo’s eyes.
Severo didn’t look up, “Hmm”.
Then he added: “Go and brush your teeth”.
When Allyce came out, Severo had already put the computer away, put his glasses in the drawer and gone to the bathroom to take a shower.
Allyce thought Severo’s glasses were quite nice, so she took them out to try them on, maybe she could buy a couple of pairs?
But she felt a little dizzy when she put them on.
These were clearly myopic glasses, but why did Severo only admit that they were anti-glare?
Allyce glanced in the direction of the bathroom before putting her glasses away, putting them back in their original position and lying back on the bed with a heavy heart.
Although she and Severo had reconciled, she didn’t feel safe at all. She always felt that Severo could leave her again at any moment.
What was wrong with Severo?
Was it physical?
But he didn’t look bad.
She trusted those around Severo, someone would always know what was wrong with him.
When she returned to Cloud Cit, she would ask Xabat about it and keep an eye out for anything strange from Severo.
