Allyce smiled and shook her head, it wasn’t hard to guess at all.
Neither Neto nor Lucila were of a dull nature and it was common for them to argue together.
And Neto always liked to tease Lucila, what he had just said was clearly a deliberate attempt to get Lucila’s attention, something so obvious that Allyce could see without a doubt.
“It’s not much, let’s not talk about me.” Neto waved his hand with some annoyance and looked seriously at Severo, “Severo, have you really regained your health?”
“Or what?” Severo gave him a sidelong glance, his face cold.
Neto was a little unsure, but when he saw Severo’s face, he felt that it must really be OK.
Severo said nothing more, and Neto and Allyce talked for a while, then agreed to have dinner together at Kimdis in the evening.
Before leaving Neto’s office, Alonzo had to go to the bathroom, so Severo took him there.
It was then that Neto approached Allyce with a mysterious look and said: “Haven’t you ever felt that Severo is colder than before?
Old Severo was distant, but at least he would interject a few words from time to time.
Allyce was stunned and asked uncomprehendingly, “Did he?
The way Severo treated Xabat when he returned yesterday made Allyce feel the same way, but when she got home, Severo didn’t seem any less enthusiastic about her, just more brazen than before ….
Neto saw this look on Allyce’s face, scratched his head and said, “Maybe it’s just me”.
Allyce frowned slightly and said nothing.
…
Severo’s car had a child seat and when we returned Allyce put Alonzo in the child seat and sat next to him.
Alonzo sat in the car and started wiggling his fingers and playing with them.
Allyce unconsciously set her eyes on Severo, even though she didn’t agree with what Neto had said earlier, she unconsciously thought of Severo’s behaviour in the last few days in her mind.
It appeared that Severo had been acting out of character for the past two days, but on closer examination, it seemed reasonable to attribute his behaviour to his personality.
It wasn’t until she got home that Severo barricaded her in the door and asked her: “You’ve been watching me all the way.
“Yes.” Allyce hadn’t expected him to realise she’d been watching him all the way when he’d been driving seriously all the way.
“Why?”
“Nothing, I just thought you were cute.” That was always the right thing to say.
Severo narrowed his eyes at her until Allyce felt weak from the look she was giving him, then he spoke softly, “Don’t try to trick me, what did Neto say?
Allyce blinked and muttered, “He didn’t say anything.
He was surprised by Severo’s insight.
Severo’s eyes narrowed slightly at her words and he stared at her, as if he wanted to see right through her, his gaze so sharp and terrifying that Allyce took a small step back.
The two were facing each other when a servant suddenly shouted from the hall.
“Young master!”
Allyce reacted quickly, pushing Severo away and heading straight inside.
Before he could get close enough, he saw several servants surrounding Alonzo and couldn’t help but ask aloud, “What’s going on?
When the carriage stopped, she entered with Alonzo in her arms and was pulled to the door by Severo. She assumed he had something to tell her and let the maids take Alonzo inside first.
The maid looked up and saw Allyce approaching and called out to her in fright: “Madam”.
Alonzo turned his head, tears glistening in his dark eyes, and his little lips were swollen, as if he was about to cry, but for some reason, he did not.
Allyce frowned at the maid and knelt down in front of Alonzo, “What’s the matter, honey?
Alonzo blinked, tears welled up in his eyes, and finally he began to sob.
As she cried, she reached her hand out to Allyce and sniffled, “It hurts …”.
Only then did Allyce see that Alonzo’s delicate hand, which had a large red stain on it, was obviously burnt.
Allyce was startled, turned her head towards the maid and shouted, “What are you waiting for, go and get the medicine!
She was generally very gentle with the servants of the house, she had neither the temperament of a lady nor the coldness of a Severus, and all the servants of the house thought her good-natured.
Her sudden outburst of anger had startled the maids, who had jumped up and rushed for the scalded medicine.
Allyce sat on the couch with Alonzo in her arms, stroked his back and coaxed him gently, “Baby, don’t cry anymore, mommy will rub the medicine on you later and it won’t hurt anymore”.
Alonzo was not a crybaby and soon stopped crying. When the maid brought the ointment, Allyce dipped her finger in it and rubbed it gently over his finger, asking him as she did so, “Does it hurt …?”
Alonzo glanced at the ointment he was spreading on his hand and the next moment, as if he had found something interesting, his eyes lit up and he shook his head hastily: “No”.
“Does it really not hurt anymore?” asked Allyce in amusement.
The ointment felt cool on the burns and Alonzo, probably because it felt new, stared at his hand as Allyce applied the ointment and then smiled.
After Allyce carefully applied the medicine, he asked her, “Are you OK?
Alonzo nodded emphatically: “Yes, it’s cold”.
He didn’t say the word “cold” very clearly, but Allyce understood.
“Is he injured?”
Severo’s voice came, and Allyce remembered that Severo was here.
Before Allyce could say anything, Alonzo was already raising his ointment-covered hand, bowing his head to Severo with an offering face and saying, “Dad, it’s OK.
Severo bent down and looked at his hand, which was very red.
Severo narrowed his eyes and gently prompted him to blow: “Papa will blow and it won’t hurt any more.
He blew on Alonzo twice very carefully, and Alonzo thought it was funny and kept smiling.
Then Severo said to Allyce: “Why don’t you go up to Alonzo and rest?
Allyce intended to take Alonzo up as well, so she responded and took Alonzo up.
Severo watched them go upstairs and then heard the door close again before turning to look at the three maids.
They had stood still, each afraid to make a noise, what were the servants going to do when Alonzo, the youngest of the family, was injured?
