Meeting Allyce’s hopeful face, Dita hesitated imperceptibly for a moment before saying, “Hmm”.
Allyce sniffed and a hint of joy appeared on her face.
Fortunately, Gabrio is still alive.
Allyce was in a slightly better mood thanks to Dita’s words.
So much had happened during the day that she thought she wouldn’t be able to sleep, but as soon as she went to bed she suddenly fell asleep.
In the middle of the night, she was awakened by the commotion of Severo’s return.
He had left a bedside lamp on when he went to bed, so as soon as he opened his eyes he could see that the tall figure standing in front of his bed was Severo.
Woken by the cold, she sat up and stared at him for a few seconds before reacting.
Severo is soaked in water, his hair is wet on his forehead, but his whole body is in no way dishevelled.
He stared at Allyce, his facial expression a blur in the gloom.
Allyce also looked at him, and in the end, it was she who lost the battle first.
“Is it raining outside?” He asked her quietly.
Severo raised his face a little and there also seemed to be a cold wetness in his voice: “I didn’t come back and you didn’t know how to call me?
The air conditioning in the room was a little low, and Allyce pulled the blankets over her head, and at his words, though she was a little taken aback, she said in a light voice, “I don’t have a phone.
I had already taken the phone away from him, why call?
Severo continued: “There is a telephone in the room”.
“It’s broken.” Earlier, he had tried to call Alonzo from his room, only for Severo to think he was calling Gabrio, and had abruptly yanked the line.
“You can have the maid call me.”
For some reason, Severo seems to be particularly obsessed with this issue.
A stubborn tone, like that of an inexperienced child.
Allyce looked at the lingering look on his face and shifted weakly, frowning Microsoft, “Go take a shower.”
Severo stared at her for a moment before turning to go into the bathroom.
She watched him enter the bathroom before Allyce stepped back and leaned on the bed, slightly lost in thought.
It wasn’t until the sound of the water in the bath stopped that Allyce turned her attention back.
Severo came out with his towel on and saw that Allyce was still sitting on the bed, looking like she was waiting for him to come out.
The frown on his face softened slightly.
Allyce didn’t expect Severo to come out so soon and looked back slightly, and before she could lie down again, Severo had ripped off the only covering he had on his body and started changing straight into his pyjamas.
Allyce’s eyes widened slightly, her face turned slightly red, and she fell back under the covers as soon as her head fell back.
This shameless.
Severo heard a movement behind him and turned his head to see that the woman who had been sitting against the bed had fallen asleep, and the corners of his lips curved inexorably.
Allyce was covered with a thin blanket and could still feel her cheeks burning slightly.
Half an hour passed before footsteps approached the bed.
He soon heard Severo’s voice: “Get up”.
Allyce didn’t know what he was going to do and had no intention of moving even if he had heard him.
Pretend to sleep.
But forget that Severo is a man without patience.
He called out to Allyce, and when she didn’t move, he ripped off the sheets and tugged at her clothes again.
Allyce’s eyes snapped open and a wary look appeared on her face: “What are you going to do!
Severo looked at the heavy caution on his face and his face sank, looking like it was about to explode into a volcano.
Allyce said in a soft voice: “It’s late, I’m sleepy, can we go to bed first?
Indeed, Severo’s face looked a little better, except that he kept saying: “Get undressed”.
Allyce blanched.
Was he still not going to leave her alone?
When Severo saw that she was dawdling and not moving, and no longer expected him to undress, he moved to do it himself.
Allyce, knowing she was no match for him, did not resist and turned her head to one side, her eyes filled with tears.
However, she felt Severo undressing her and then, instead of going too far, he touched something and rubbed it on her body.
She turned in surprise to see Severo expressionlessly holding a small bottle of medicine in one hand and applying the contents to her body with the other.
He smeared the places on his body that he had stirred, slightly tingling, but somehow refreshing.
Allyce looked at him in bewilderment; she hadn’t thought he was going to anoint her.
She thought he was going to …
Because of the way Severo had treated her in the last few days, and because of Gabrio’s death, she unconsciously felt that Severo would hurt her.
She even forgets that he would care about her too.
Severo looked up to see Allyce looking at him with tears in her eyes and, with a frown, said: “Does it hurt that much?
As he spoke, his fingers lifted slightly, as if he was a little afraid to touch her.
Allyce knew she had misunderstood and tugged at the corners of her mouth to give him a smile, wanting to say something, but when she opened her mouth and felt a bit of sourness in her throat, she just shook her head.
When Allyce seemed to want to say something, Severo’s face turned a little colder before he resumed his medication.
Allyce raised her eyes slightly to look at him.
He was gentle in his movements as he administered the medicine.
Today, however, he had just killed Gabrio.
At this thought, Allyce lowered her eyes to hide the sadness in them.
Severo applied it very carefully.
So much so that Allyce wanted to say no to something too allergic and sensual, but could not master Severo’s forcefulness.
I had to obey.
When Severo had finished cleaning her, he dressed her and lay down with her in his arms, looking as if he would not touch her.
Allyce lay in his arms, still a little surreal.
As it was, it would make you think that the old Severo was back.
Only now Severo is not something I can speculate about.
Where do they both go from here?
…
When Allyce woke up the next morning, Severo was no longer with her.
She didn’t sleep very well tonight, sleeping and waking up groggy, unable to sleep soundly or wake up.
After breakfast, drowsiness took over.
It rained last night and the courtyard was wet.
Severo and Xabat, both brothers, are not at home, only with a group of servants and bodyguards.
She still could not get out, except that the bodyguards had withdrawn to guard the main gate and were not keeping her out of the villa.
Shouldn’t he be glad that at least he could still walk in the courtyard?
With nothing else to do, he called Alonzo.
The landline telephone in the lobby is used.
“Mummy.” The toddler’s catchy voice came through the phone.
Allyce almost screamed.
He misses Alonzo.
Now, however, he cannot return.
“Did you hear Uncle White?”
“Yes, mum, when are you coming back?”
It really hadn’t been that long since she and Severo had been in J, and yet it felt like she hadn’t seen Alonzo in years.
