Neto returned home depressed.
He had come home in a hurry because of something that had happened at home some time ago, and it had coincided with his grandfather’s serious illness, so he had not slept for more than a week, and Marco had returned with him.
It was only when he returned to Cloud Cit that he found out what had happened.
Severo’s attitude was inexplicable.
Marco had also returned, so naturally he went back to his own villa and stayed there.
If Severo did not come to him this time, neither would Neto.
Even as he was thinking this, his hand had already reached for his mobile phone and he dialled a number.
“Find out about Severo, in detail”.
He hung up the phone just as he finished his instructions, and another call came in.
He looked at the number and grimaced, Severo was calling him so soon?
It was not normal for Severo to call him.
Still, he picked up the phone.
“Come for dinner tonight.
“Good evening. …” Severo told him to go to dinner, so he had to go to dinner?
“Hmm.” Severo replied and simply hung up.
Neto’s eyes widened, if he hadn’t known him for more than ten years, he wouldn’t be this kind of person as a brother, as cold and hard as a piece of iron.
But what made Neto regret being Severo’s brother even more was the fact that he had not seen Severo in the village when he arrived in Cloudy Bay.
All he saw was Alonzo sitting at the dining room table, watching cartoons on his tablet.
The table was full of food, none of it had been touched, there was a maid waiting next to it, and everything was normal except for Severo’s absence.
But Neto sensed a hint of something unusual in this normality.
“Alonzo!” Neto called out to Alonzo as he approached him.
When Alonzo looked away from the tablet, his dark eyes flickered slightly and he exclaimed “Uncle Pastrano” before looking away.
“Where is your father?” asked Neto.
Alonzo’s little eyebrow twitched at the word “daddy” and he said, “He’s gone”.
“Where did he go?” Neto looked confused.
What was Severo trying to do? He had called him specifically to come to dinner, and then Severo himself had disappeared.
“Phone.” Alonzo looked at Neto for a moment, pulled a phone out of nowhere and handed it to Neto.
Neto picked it up suspiciously and saw that the phone had only Neto and Allyce’s numbers on it.
He realised that it was Severo’s phone for Alonzo.
Wait, Alonzo is so young, why did you give him a mobile phone?
He thought no more and picked up Alonzo’s phone and dialled Severo’s number.
The call was quickly answered.
Severo’s voice was deep and deep: “Hello?
Neto, angered by the sound of his voice, sat back in his chair, opened one leg, took a deep breath and said, “What the hell are you doing? Where are you when you let me come to your house for dinner? And leave Alonzo home alone waiting for me?”
Severo spoke calmly, “I didn’t say I was going to have dinner with you, let Alonzo have dinner with you and help look after him, I’m on a plane and he’s about to leave”.
He looked like he was about to hang up.
Neto had a lot of doubts in his mind, but finally he just asked: “Where are you going?
“A J”.
“What are you going to J for?”
“To find Allyce.
“…”
“Well, the plane is leaving, goodbye”.
“So, when are you coming back, hello …”
However, the caller answered with a busy tone.
Severo hung up the phone.
Neto shook his head breathlessly, what the fuck!
He thought Severo had really asked him to come to dinner, but it turned out he had dug a hole for him to crawl into!
Neto turned to Alonzo and looked at his Severo face and gave his head a squeeze: “Is your father trying to annoy me?
Alonzo looked at him with a puzzled expression: “I’m hungry”.
“Then let’s eat, there’s no need to look any more.” Neto said and took the tablet from in front of him.
He took the tablet from him and Alonzo did not cry, but sat obediently and waited for Neto to give him the food.
“Your dad and mum are gone, we’ll be the only ones left, see your dad has no heart, he only kicked you out to me when he said he’d kick you out, or else you and him would sever the father-son relationship …”
Neto said as he handed Alonzo a plate to eat.
Although he resented it, Severo had placed a lot of trust in him by leaving Alonzo.
Although he sometimes could not stand Severo’s eccentric character, he had been his brother for many years.
Alonzo was probably very hungry, so he buried his head in his mouth and ate his food, not understanding Neto’s ramblings.
Shortly afterwards, Neto received a text message from Severo: Alonzo is counting on you, this time it’s an emergency, I’ll talk to you later, thanks.
Neto read the text message and the hint of resentment in his heart disappeared.
Instead, his face became grave.
Severo rarely thanked him so solemnly, and this time it seemed that things were not easy.
…
Solares castle was large and full of people, to Allyce’s knowledge, full-blooded collateral people, probably a few hundred people lived in the castle, all of them related to the Solares family.
There are also other collateral relatives, not so close, who do not live in the castle.
She lives in a very secluded area, in a building that is rarely occupied and has swings in the small front yard.
She hadn’t seen Tajo since she arrived and wondered if he was really busy or if he was ignoring her on purpose.
However, Allyce had real anxiety on her mind.
He missed Alonzo, his son.
I had been following the news in China for the past few days, and the Severo case had gone almost unnoticed. Yesterday, the authorities even announced that Severo had been wrongly accused and that the real culprit had been brought to justice.
Allyce was surprised at how quickly it was done.
Severo was already out, so would he bring Alonzo to Solares castle?
“Excuse me, Miss Delahoz is resting …”
The maid’s voice came from outside and Allyce came to her senses and got up to go outside.
He pushed open the door and saw a young man standing in the doorway talking to a maid about something.
He was dressed in a smart suit, his features were deep and clear, his skin was fair, his hair was black, he was mixed race, and his brown eyes with a smile were unusually attractive.
Allyce withdrew her gaze and settled on one of the maids, asking: “What happened?
