Before Tajo could get angry again this time, Saul, who had remained silent, snapped at her with a face full of anger: “Miss Delahoz, please watch your language.
Almost immediately, Allyce raised her head slightly to look at him, also in a stern voice: “Butler Betances, please take care of your position, and I am Severo’s lawful wife, please call me Mrs. Betances”.
She knew that in J, in the Solares family the hierarchy was very strong.
She was Severo’s wife, even if Saul did not recognise him, he was still half-master, and when he spoke to Tajo, Saul as a servant was not qualified to speak.
Although Tajo disliked Allyce, he had somewhat grudgingly accepted her status, but he was not happy about it, so he allowed Saul to call her “Miss Delahoz” without refusing to let Allyce call him grandfather.
Saul had always listened to Tajo, and it was only because he understood what Tajo was thinking that he kept calling Allyce that.
However, he did not regard Allyce as his master.
After all, in a family like the Solares family, where hierarchy is important, there are strict requirements for servants to obey their masters’ instructions, reasonable or not.
There was a moment when Allyce had inadvertently spoken to Severo about this and asked him specifically about it.
He was a little curious.
The rules were strict and so were the servants in those worldly nobles she had heard of before.
Saul had always been called “Miss Delahoz” by Tagus and had not treated her as his master, so he had only been polite and respectful on the surface, but had not taken her seriously.
But what Allyce had just said was like a slap in the face, and it embarrassed him greatly.
He frowned, ducked his head and didn’t say another word.
Tajo also felt humiliated and looked at Allyce with an angry expression on his face.
At that moment, the office door burst open.
Before Allyce could turn around to look, she heard Severo’s familiar voice: “By any chance, is grandfather here too?
At the sound of Severo’s voice, Allyce turned with a startled look and saw Severo striding towards her.
His gaze passed over the others before settling on Allyce’s face.
His gaze was deep and focused, and Allyce turned her face away uncomfortably.
In the morning, she had had an argument with him about the maid.
She still remembered how he had simply thrown up and walked away.
Tajo’s face was startled to see that it was Severo, and he looked at Allyce with more contempt.
Allyce was puzzled, she hadn’t asked Severo to come, why was he looking at her like that?
Besides, what if she had asked Severo to come?
In a marriage, if the wife and her husband’s family do not get along, isn’t Severo the best husband to intervene?
Oh, I had forgotten that Tajo’s goal was to control Severo, and he didn’t seem to care how Severo got along.
“Alonzo’s asleep?” Severo approached and wasn’t surprised to see Alonzo sleeping in Allyce’s arms, he said it matter-of-factly before sitting down next to her.
Allyce, however, got something more out of his simple words.
She had probably called home and the maid had told her that Allyce had taken Alonzo to the office and that she had come on purpose.
“Well, he probably got bored in the office.” Allyce explained weakly, only glancing at Severo for a second before looking away.
“And Grandpa? Was he too bored to stay at the hotel too, so he came to the office to fetch his grandson-in-law and great-grandson?” Severo raised his eyebrows slightly, with a hint of provocation in his gaze.
“I’ve come to see my great-grandson, what’s so strange about that? The look on Tajo’s face couldn’t have been more normal, the anger from before had long since disappeared.
When he finished, he turned his head to Allyce: “What do you think?
Allyce snapped out of her astonishment and tugged at the corner of her lips, “Of course, Grandpa came to see Alonzo because he liked him.”
He said it in a way that was unbelievable.
But when he turned his head to look at Severo, he found him frowning slightly, then relaxing, looking at Tajo thoughtfully, as if pondering the credibility of his words.
Allyce had a mixed feeling in her heart that Severo really had expectations of Tajo.
A glint of light shone under Tajo’s eyes as he looked at his watch before speaking, “Well, it’s almost noon, let’s go and eat together.
After saying that, he dropped his gaze to Allyce’s body.
Allyce didn’t know why she had to play along with Tajo in front of Severo.
He agreed stiffly: “Yes, I’m a bit hungry too, let’s eat together”.
Severo saw that Allyce was saying the same thing and had no objection, taking Alonzo in Allyce’s arms, he carried him.
When they arrived at the restaurant, he woke Alonzo.
Alonzo had just woken up and was still a little groggy.
He looked around the room blankly and finally settled on Allyce’s face, then “mmm” and struggled twice in Severo’s arms, obviously wanting to be hugged by Allyce.
Seeing this, Allyce hurried to catch up with him.
As a result, the waiter brought the child’s chair.
Severo lifted Alonzo with his long arms and placed him in the chair, his voice cold and clear: “Mummy wants to eat, how old are you?
As Allyce listened to Severo’s words, she couldn’t help but raise her eyebrows, what was wrong with Severo?
He remembered that when Alonzo first came back, he too was in pain, and now Alonzo just wanted him to hug him, and he would let him?
Sensing that Allyce was looking at him, Severo also looked at her: “What’s going on?
“Nothing.” Allyce froze for a moment and then lowered her head.
Tajo, Severo and Alonzo had their first dinner together and Allyce is Severo’s wife, so it was a sort of family dinner.
And it was a very successful dinner.
Even Alonzo, the youngest, didn’t make a fuss and just ate his food.
When the meal was over, Tajo left with Saul and his bodyguard, and Allyce breathed a sigh of relief.
Severo reached out and wiped some sauce from her lips before his pleasant voice sounded, “Why are you so nervous, you and grandfather seem to be getting along well.
