“You …”
Severus hadn’t touched her in a while, and surprised that he would hold her like that, Allyce’s heart was beating fast.
I was a bit nervous.
Halfway through, he lightly kissed her soft earlobe, his voice low and husky: “The heart is beating too fast”.
Allyce felt a little tickled, shrugged her neck and whispered, “Alonzo is still sleeping …”.
So if you really wanted to …
having to move too, in case Alonzo woke up would be bad.
At her words, Severo laughed softly, his voice already husky with an indescribable sensuality: “What’s wrong with Alonzo sleeping, he sleeps his own, what do you think I’m going to do?
His tone couldn’t have been more normal, and if his hand hadn’t still been on her, I would have thought Severo hadn’t thought about it.
He had said it on purpose, just to make fun of her!
Allyce struggled a little and said softly, “It’s nothing, I just wanted to say that I want to change for bed too, I’m a bit tired after a busy night”.
I didn’t think she was afraid to change in front of him! What’s so hard about that?
Feeling Severo’s body stiffen for a moment, Allyce quickly pulled away and walked into the bathroom with her clothes in her arms.
He didn’t hear Severo’s voice until he had finished changing.
Curious, she opened the door and Severo, who had been watching the door, jumped in.
“Ah!”
Allyce cried out in surprise at his sudden movement.
Severo closed the door behind him and pinned her against the bathroom wall.
The summer pyjamas were thin and baggy, and Severo ripped them off in a matter of seconds.
Without giving Allyce a chance to say anything …
He bit his lip to keep from screaming, but in the back of his mind he thought Severo’s shamelessness might have increased with age.
…
Allyce changed out of her pyjamas and went over to the bed to watch Severo change Alonzo’s sleeping position.
Once she approached, Severo patted the spot between him and Alonzo: “Sleep here.
Allyce looked at him: “What if Alonzo fell under the bed in the middle of the night?
“No.” Severo said, and bent down and lifted her up to lie down.
No matter, he could do whatever he wanted.
After the lights went out, Allyce finally managed to get the words she wanted to say out of her mouth.
She hesitated and whispered: “I think we could have another baby.
The idea had not really come out of the blue.
It would be nice to have siblings.
She had no siblings, only a cousin, and even though she and Senona had fought all those years ago, when they had reconciled, she still felt close to Senona when she thought of her again – they were family after all.
If Alonzo had grown up to be a real loner, it would have been different to have a brother or sister.
Allyce’s heart sank at the thought.
Victorino’s words were clear; Alonzo’s body would not necessarily grow up healthy.
I don’t know if his voice was too low or if Severo slept too fast, but he didn’t hear Severo’s voice for half a day.
It wasn’t until he was about to call Severo that Severo suddenly spoke up: “Do you really want to have another child?”
“Well, think about it, wouldn’t it be nice if Alonzo could have siblings? Like Delfina and Adam. Even though Adam is not a nice guy, they are very loving and can take care of each other.
Allyce felt a little envious of Adam and Delfina.
Adam was not a nice guy, but he really loved his sister.
Severo did not immediately make a sound.
Allyce couldn’t see his expression in the darkness, but she felt Severo’s breathing change.
It was a moment before I heard Severo say, “There’s no rush to have children for now, not until Alonzo is older.
The firmness of her words made Allyce lose her way a little.
Severo seemed to sense the change in her mood and added in approval: “Agreed?
“Well, it’s your call, who makes you the man of the house.” Allyce’s voice was tinged with laughter at the thought of the ledger she had retrieved today.
Severo also let out a low chuckle.
Allyce put his arms around Alonzo and Severo put his arms around Allyce, and the three of them fell asleep cuddled together.
Severo grabbed Allyce’s hand and wrapped it tightly around his own.
It’s not that I didn’t want to have another child, but I wasn’t sure I would survive in the end.
If he left, he could not bear the thought of leaving her alone to carry and bear a child, for her mother had died in childbirth, and though she seemed unafraid now, her heart must still be afraid.
As I was not sure I could be by his side, I was afraid of having another child.
…
The next day, Victorino and Xabat left after breakfast, they had a lot to do.
Only Neto stayed in the village, and Lucila left in Xabat’s car.
Allyce left Lucila and went to the kitchen to cut fruit.
When he came out, he saw that there was no one in the living room, so he went out into the courtyard.
As soon as he came out, he heard Neto’s excited voice: “I’m faster than you, come and get me!
This was followed by Alonzo’s “chuckle” and the sound of wheels rolling on the ground.
Curious, Allyce stepped forward and saw Neto and Alonzo each in a toy car ….
Severo stood under a tree with a disgruntled look on his face, as if someone owed him something.
Allyce couldn’t help but smile too as she watched the two of them ride around the playground in little toy cars.
Neto was a bit of a child.
Allyce approached Severo: “What’s going on?
