The tossing and turning lasted more than two hours.
He put everything he had messed up back in its place, one by one, and as soon as he went downstairs, he saw Severo coming through the door.
Allyce greeted her with a smile: “You’re back!
“Yes.” Severus replied indifferently, taking her hand in his and looking deeply into her lacquered eyes.
Allyce thought about the fact that she had just rummaged through his bedroom and study and asked him a little embarrassed: “What’s wrong?
Her flickering gaze did not escape Severo’s eyes.
Severo suddenly smiled: “I think you’re pretty”.
Allyce flinched, blushed slightly and slapped him, “What …?”
The maid kept looking sideways.
Severo just laughed and said nothing.
…
After dinner, Severo had to go to his study to attend to his business, and Allyce followed him.
He sat down at his desk to attend to his business, while Allyce picked up a book and lay down on the sofa to read it.
Probably because the room was so nice, Allyce fell asleep after reading for a while.
When Severo looked up, he saw that Allyce had leaned back on the couch’s guard with her head cocked to one side, her book slid to her waist and her slender hands slid to her sides.
He stared at Allyce for a few seconds before getting up and approaching her, ready to take her back to bed.
As he approached, he watched her serene, sleeping face for a moment before something else caught his attention.
It was Alonzo.
He was sure he had not touched another woman, but where had this child come from?
She even suspected that Victorino had brought her a false report – after all, when Allyce was pregnant, Oliveria Betances had concealed the real situation.
Except that after finding Delfina and Alonzo, he had taken Alonzo for a ride and had another DNA test done by another doctor, and the child was indeed related to him.
It was perverse.
Severo’s gaze returned to Allyce, his eyes went to her hair and, after a pause, he reached out and brushed her hair, and when he withdrew his hand again, there was a hair in his hand.
She got up and grabbed a plastic bag to put her hair in before taking Allyce back to the bedroom.
Allyce had been a light sleeper and woke up as soon as he picked her up.
Confused, she felt herself being lifted into the air and unconsciously shouted: “Severo?
Severo looked at her, “Hmm? Why are you awake?”
“If you put me down, I’ll walk alone.” She had intended to close her eyes to recover and think, but she hadn’t expected to fall asleep.
Severo smiled: “It’s OK, it’s not far, I’ll take you.
Maybe if I took it once, it would be one less time?
At that thought, he tightened his arms and walked more slowly.
Allyce looked a little uncomfortable, it was because she was so close that she had to walk alone!
Allyce couldn’t help but look at Severo and see that his lips were curved in good humour, so she stopped talking and put her hand on his shoulder and leaned into his arms.
It was only when she was hugged again that she realised how much she had missed him.
Back in the bedroom, the two lay together on the bed, ready for sleep.
Allyce asked him: “Aren’t you going to mind your own business?
It was still very early.
Severo got up and turned off the light before taking her back into his arms, his voice low and muffled: “No, I’m not leaving, I’ll do the same tomorrow.
As soon as the words were out of his mouth, there was the sound of long, even breathing.
Did you fall asleep so early?
Allyce whispered, “Severo?
Severo did not answer him, he seemed to be asleep.
On the other hand, Allyce could no longer sleep.
I don’t know if it was because what Severo had done before was so wicked, but when she looked at Severo now, she always felt that whatever he did, she felt wicked.
Within days, she felt that he was wicked everywhere.
His character was inexplicably better than before. Not that he was bad before, but he used to be a bit more temperamental in front of her, cold-faced and angry at all times.
On the other hand …
As it was dark and in the bedroom, she covered her face in shame.
Severo had not touched her in the last few days since he had reconciled in Ciudad del Cielo and returned.
A couple of times he had felt it on the edge of his seat, but had gone no further, but had slept with her in his arms.
The old Severus had been more unbridled and forceful in this regard …
After a long period of ruminating, Allyce fell asleep.
…
The next morning, Allyce woke up with Severo by her side, also newly awake.
Allyce looked at the time and said, “It’s almost eight o’clock, why aren’t you up?”.
“Who says I have to get up early? Severo’s voice was muffled by the sound of wakefulness.
Allyce blinked lazily: “Aren’t you going to the office?
“Do I pay for all these people to be here for nothing? You don’t have to work so hard to be the boss”.
Severo said and pinched her face, his voice was soft, “Get up, you’re not sleeping anymore, let’s go out and play”.
“Play?” the word came out of Severo’s mouth, it was a bit subtle.
Severo looked at her, “Hmm.
“Play what?” She couldn’t understand why she suddenly wanted to go out and “play”.
Severo paused slightly: “Just the two of us.
Words came to Allyce’s mind: “A date?
Severo raised an eyebrow, “Sort of.”
…
Allyce was still a bit confused until she was dragged into the car by Severo.
Severo wasn’t working and taking her out for a walk?
“But I have to work!” She had her job!
Severo leaned over to fasten her seatbelt and, once fastened, rested a hand on the back of the seat behind her, with his sensual gaze, “You don’t need to leave, Desiderio will come to the door soon and probably won’t be able to settle things peacefully”.
Did that mean that when Desiderio arrived at the door it would be a clean break?
Seeing Allyce’s look of understanding, Severo spoke again: “So go out and have fun while you have time.
He was very worried that he would not have time afterwards.
Allyce was with him and had not yet given him a big wedding, nor had they gone on a date together as normal lovers would …
There are still a lot of things he wants to do, but there is a chance he won’t make it in time …
Allyce always felt that Severo had a deeper meaning in that statement.
But seeing how excited Severo was, he could say no more.
Allyce smiled and nodded, “Of course I do.
It didn’t seem so bad to him to leave everything behind and go out as he pleased.
