In the dining room, Allyce watches the hamster crawling across the table and takes a moment to recover from the shock.
When he calmed down, he turned to the servant who had thrown the hamster: “What have you done!
The maids replied at the time that what Severo had said was not true at all and that Allyce did not like hamsters at all.
But he could not tell the truth, so he had to bow his head and keep silent, saying nothing.
Allyce probably guessed what was going on, so without another word, she turned and headed down the corridor.
She left the restaurant in a huff and was about to go upstairs when, without turning her head, she found Severo sitting on the sofa in the lobby with a leisurely look on his face, reading a magazine.
Allyce walked up to him and snorted, taking the magazine from his hand, and said without smiling, “Are you bored?
Severo looked at her and got up to go back upstairs.
Allyce approached him and held out her hands to stop him: “If you’re bored, go about your business, go read the paperwork, what are you going to give me a hard time for!
Severo was stopped by her and was no longer in a hurry to leave.
He spoke quickly and with some urgency, with a hint of anger tinginging his cheeks, but his whole person seemed a little more delicate.
Severo was silent for a long moment before he said, unhurriedly, “It’s not really a great skill, but it’s quite interesting”.
He finished and raised an eyebrow at her provocatively.
Allyce held her breath in her throat, unable to get up or down, and could only watch as it rose.
He sat on his arse on the sofa and muttered with hatred: “Shame on you!
At that moment, a servant approached carefully, “Madam …”.
“If you have something to say, don’t mess with me, I’m in a bad mood now.” He didn’t promise not to get angry with them now, temper wasn’t something he could control just by trying.
The maid bowed her head slightly and said respectfully, “Lorenzo is here …”.
Allyce said in an impatient tone, “When it comes, it comes”.
In any case, Lorenzo was approaching, probably looking for Severo, and he had nothing to do with her.
His words had just fallen when Lorenzo’s voice rang from far and near, “I’m still sad that I haven’t seen Allyce for so long and that she doesn’t even miss me and says such heartless things …”
“Severo is in the study. Allyce was in no mood to be near him at the moment, and said only that coolly, with no intention of paying any further attention to him.
Lorenzo knows how to read faces and, naturally, he sees that she is in a bad mood and no longer throws herself into the ring.
Allyce looked furious, and it wouldn’t look good for him if she fell flat on her face.
There are few people in Solares Castle he can’t afford to mess with, but Allyce is one of them.
He used to be a gangster and was a hard, ruthless, bad-hearted man who was despised by the rest of the Solares family.
However, Tajo could not be pressed to like it.
Growing up in the market, all the edges of his body were rounded, and it was easy to please people. Besides, even if he was an illegitimate son, he was still Tajo’s youngest son, and for Tajo, who had a part of the Z tradition in his thinking, the youngest son would be more painful in the end.
He has a deep-seated fear of Severo, and anyone can see how much Severo cares for Allyce; he doesn’t want to antagonise Severo, so he wouldn’t dare mess with her again.
“Okay, I’ve got it, now …” said Lorenzo and paused as his eyes landed on the ground, not far from Allyce, “What is my hamster doing here! ”
“Yours?” Allyce didn’t really expect the hamster to be Lorenzo’s.
Lorenzo nodded and Allyce waved, “If it’s yours, take it”.
The truth is that the hamster looks very nice and it used to be because the maid would suddenly throw it out and it would get scared.
However, because he hates rats so much, he can’t like hamsters, no matter how cute they are.
Lorenzo instructed the maid to retrieve the hamster and put it in its cage, and went upstairs to fetch Severo.
Severo was reading a file when he came in, but was clearly a little distracted.
Severo heard the door open and looked up at the door, his brow immediately furrowed as he saw that the visitor was Lorenzo: “What are you doing here?”
The unpleasant tone of his voice suggests that he does not appreciate Lorenzo’s presence.
“I haven’t visited you since you moved in, but we’re friends and family anyway, so for good reason I should come and see you.”
Lorenzo spoke as he took a seat in the chair opposite with an air of self-sufficiency.
Severo looked at him with a face that didn’t look depressed.
Suddenly, he scoffed and said, “Grandpa sent you”.
He spoke in declarative sentences; he was not asking Lorenzo, but had already stated what was on his mind.
Lorenzo’s gaze suddenly stiffened, and only after a moment he recovered and said with a dry smile: “What are you talking about, how could I have come because dad asked me to, it’s actually because I haven’t seen you for a long time and I came to see …”.
Severo kept a cold gaze on him as he spoke, which led directly to his heart dropping out of his mouth when he reached the end of his sentence and did not continue.
Severo saw this and growled: “Go and tell grandfather that he has to rest and take care of his health at his age and not to keep bothering him with too many things, I will come to see him tomorrow”.
“Oh, you’re right, I think so too, my father may look tough but he’s not young after all, he should rest more …” Lorenzo wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and, to disguise his discomfort, continued chattering as he spoke.
Severo was sick of hearing this and was about to lie down when Allyce walked in.
He was carrying a tray with two cups of tea.
The tea is still sent to him by Neto from China.
As soon as she entered, Severo and Lorenzo set their eyes on her.
Allyce approached him quietly and smiled as she took the initiative and placed a cup of tea in front of Lorenzo: “Have some tea, brother-in-law.
“Huh?” Lorenzo almost looked dumbfounded by his “brother-in-law”.
Which brother-in-law?
Severo never called him uncle and had forgotten that he was still considered Severo’s eldest.
Although he had always wanted Severo to call him uncle so that he could enjoy being his eldest, it was only a thought and he never dared to tell Severo.
And Allyce’s “brother-in-law” is the right word, but she dares not respond!
He turned his head with difficulty to look at Severo and saw that his face had changed and that his hand on the table was tapping one by one with his index finger, the sound tiny but like a sledgehammer in his heart.
She didn’t even dare to drink her tea, and ran out in panic with the words “I remembered I hadn’t had a bath”.
