Once she had said her words, Severo still clung to her tightly and would not let go.
Allyce’s chest already ached a little, and after patiently talking to her and seeing that she still had no intention of letting go, a hint of impatience appeared on her face.
He turned his head towards Severo: “You …”.
As the words came out, he didn’t know what to say when he saw Severo’s stubborn look.
He took a deep breath: “I’m going to look for Alonzo’s water bottle in the living room”.
That was the reason I was here and I would see Alonzo and Gabrio fighting.
She had left the room earlier and had not taken out Alonzo’s water bottle, and Lucila and Neto had never looked after small children, so naturally they had been a bit careless.
Alonzo was used to drinking from his own water bottle, and was not used to being fed from another glass.
Severo’s eyes lit up and he said: “I’ll ask Xabat to bring it to you.
Allyce shook her head, “No, I’ll get it myself, you’ve had a busy day”.
Severo’s face changed for a moment at her words, and his grip on Allyce’s arm loosened for a moment.
Allyce took the opportunity to let go of his hand and headed straight for the living room.
Perhaps his repeated refusals had had an effect and Severo did not continue his insistence on pulling her to see where he had hit her.
Allyce found Alonzo’s water bottle inside the room and was about to leave when she heard the door open.
He glanced at the door just in time to see Delfina enter the room and close the door with her back.
“Miss Natividad?” said Allyce, a little surprised.
It was obvious that Delfina had come to see her on purpose, but what did Delfina want with her?
Wasn’t it logical that Delfina would have been with Gabrio?
And since Gabrio and Severo were fighting earlier in the hallway and Delfina wasn’t there, she would have been in the ballroom and wouldn’t have known that Allyce was in the ballroom.
This could only mean that Delfina had followed Allyce into the living room.
Delfina said nothing, walking straight towards Allyce with a cold stare that Allyce had not seen before.
Allyce’s feelings for Delfina were neither good nor bad.
Because of her brother Adam, Allyce was suspicious of Delfina, although she seemed like an optimistic and kind girl.
Allyce watched as Delfina approached her step by step and stopped talking, waiting for Delfina to come closer.
Finally, when Delfina approached, she pursed her lips and said, “Mrs. Betances, I have come to see you for one thing.
Allyce smiled and raised her eyebrows slightly: “Go ahead”.
Delfina’s face glowed with surprise, as if she hadn’t expected Allyce to be so forthcoming.
Then she stared at Allyce and said, “Now that you are married, can you stay away from other men? Do you want Alonzo to grow up with a philandering mother?
Delfina got more and more excited as she spoke, turning up the volume all at once.
Allyce’s eyes narrowed slightly as she understood what Delfina meant.
She had no idea that, in the eyes of others, she was so good-natured that anyone could walk up to her and teach her a lesson.
To the point of mentioning Alonzo right off the bat.
Allyce blinked and her tone was light: “Miss Natividad, get to the point, which man are you telling me to stay away from?
“I saw what just happened in the hallway, don’t you think you’re disgusting? You’re married and you let two men fight over you, forget all that, why did you take that hit for Dr. Ortis, are you trying to curry favour with Dr. Ortis by making him more attracted to you?”
Delfina’s emotions were clearly in turmoil and her words were so full of condemnation of Allyce that her otherwise pale face flushed slightly.
A flash of anger shone under Allyce’s eyes.
When she first heard about Delfina, she had thought she was a really strong and optimistic girl, and in a sense she had admired Delfina.
But all the good impressions I had of Delfina had disappeared at that moment.
She was not a saintly mother who did not mind getting angry at all after being wronged.
“First of all, I have never felt disgusted with myself. Second, the fight between Severo and Gabrio, that was a misunderstanding between the two of them. Thirdly, why I received that blow from Gabrio is also our business. I’ve known Gabrio since he was born, we’re as close as brother and sister, our relationship is simple and clean, I don’t need to explain this to you. You, on the other hand, if you really like Gabrio, be faithful to him, or I won’t mind telling him what your brother does”.
Before, I had not been prejudiced against Delfina because of Adam.
But just now, Delfina had broken her cardinal sin.
Her and Gabrio’s relationship was not something that ordinary people could understand, and Delfina had no reason to question and doubt it.
What’s more, Delfina was throwing it back in Alonzo’s face.
Delfina’s face went white at Allyce’s words: “You’re despicable!
“If he was despicable, he would have simply told Gabrio to ignore you.
Allyce had a feeling that if she told Gabrio to stop dating Delfina, Gabrio would definitely say yes.
Only she didn’t mind doing that, it was too childish.
We are all adults, we all have our own pair of eyes and our own scales in our hearts, we should all look at things in a more mature way.
Delfina stopped talking, her light eyes misted over, she bit her lip and blushed slightly.
She knew it was unwise of her to come and say such things to Allyce, but she was jealous to the point of insanity.
Allyce noticed Delfina’s gaze.
He said, with a condescending look, “Miss Natividad, we may not see much of each other, including Alonzo, and you may not see much of him either, so I hope you have a good time at Alonzo’s birthday party today.
Delfina’s eyes widened: “What do you mean? My brother commissioned Severo to look after me and keep me safe.
She was actually afraid of death and was not as optimistic as she appeared, but it was only because that appearance was easier to make people feel good about her; she had not had many friends since she was a child, but she gave an optimistic and positive appearance and the servants, doctors and bodyguards around her would like her.
