He doesn’t like rainy days, fortunately, and leaves, except that … there is a depression deep in his heart that he can’t get rid of.
Following this call, Victorino had no desire to unpack his things; he was leaving anyway, leaving Severo to send someone to pack.
He went back to his room, took a shower and went out, packing his suitcase with the things he wanted to take with him, which he had already ordered.
Outside the half-open window, the sound of rain can be heard.
He went to the window and the rain hit his face.
It was very big and it hurt a bit.
He reached up to wipe away the single drop of rain and closed the window.
With more than four hours to go before his flight, he had planned to leave in two short hops, but hopefully this thunderstorm would cease by the time he left.
As for Dita …
I was so angry that I shouldn’t have gone back to him on impulse.
Besides, with all this rain, there was nothing I could do if I wanted to go back.
Victorino ran through all the scenarios in his head, but he never thought that Dita would find someone to stop him.
…
Allyce was sitting at the table with Severo, halfway through the meal, when it started to rain outside.
Through the floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see the ground outside, illuminated by street lamps, which is quickly becoming soggy.
The temperature suddenly dropped and the waitresses turned up the air conditioning a little.
He looks away and is about to offer Severo a plate when he realises that he is looking out of the window, his eyes dark with thought.
Allyce pushed the food into her bowl and asked in a worried voice: “What’s wrong?
Severo withdrew his eyes, lowered his gaze and fiddled with the chopsticks in his bowl before saying, “It’s nothing”.
Allyce felt he was a little depressed.
He stopped talking and Allyce stopped talking, and the only sound at the table was the faintest of voices as they ate.
At that moment, a servant rushed over with something in his hand.
It wasn’t until the maid approached that Allyce heard the familiar ring of her mobile phone and saw that the maid had her phone in her hand.
He just remembered that he had just finished cooking and had left his phone in the kitchen.
There was a hint of unease in the maid’s eyes.
As a rule, I was not supposed to interrupt Severo and Madame’s dinner, but Allyce’s phone kept ringing.
He doesn’t bring it and worries that it is a very important call.
If you bring it, you are afraid of upsetting them.
All in all, he thought Severo didn’t seem so grumpy today, and Allyce was always a bit nicer, so he cheered up and brought them in.
“Allyce, your phone keeps ringing …”
Seeing the maid’s cautious tone, Allyce just smiled at her and picked up the phone without saying what she should or shouldn’t do.
Allyce has never been one to put on a show, except that this is Solares Castle, where there is a very heavy hierarchy and rules, and she has to go with the flow even if she doesn’t put on a show.
The call is still from Dita.
A little surprised, Allyce looked at Severo and saw that he was looking at her sullenly, displeasure written in his eyes, she tugged at the corners of her lips and lifted a smile towards Severo, picking up her phone, “Dita’s on the phone, maybe it’s something important”.
Big Chief Qin, who had become more and more shy with words lately, spat out three words in a cold voice: “Don’t bother”.
Allyce pursed her lips and put her fork in her hand, also expressing her displeasure.
What’s wrong with wanting to take a call?
Can you control it at will because you are sick?
Control? Control is more like it.
She felt Severo couldn’t wait to put a chip in her head, set up a programme and walk around with a remote control in his hand, forcing her to do whatever he wanted.
Severo had taken the medicine Victorino had given him, his emotions were under control for the moment and he could differentiate between right and wrong.
When Allyce pursed her lips and said nothing, he knew she was not happy.
Forget it, let it be.
Allyce looked at Severo out of the corner of her eye and realised that he wasn’t even looking at her.
Does he say nothing? Suppose he is consenting.
Allyce’s face lit up with joy as she picked up the phone and got up to take the call.
Don’t ask why he had to go aside to answer Dita’s call, mainly because he didn’t want to disturb Severo.
“Ma’am, could you go and arrest Victorino for me, I’ll be back soon. As soon as the call was answered, Allyce was startled by Dita’s voice.
He must have had the public address system on, there was the sound of water on the other side and his voice was unusually hoarse, so it was clear he had cried earlier.
Allyce could hear something was wrong, “What’s wrong?”
“Victorino is definitely leaving tonight, he’s not answering my calls to let me know, he’s definitely leaving tonight …”
Dita said over and over again: “He’s definitely leaving tonight”.
Allyce quickly rationalised her words before realising that Dita meant that Victorino was not telling her that he was leaving, and that he would probably do so in the shortest possible time.
“Where are you now? Hang on, did Victorino himself tell you he was leaving tonight?” If I had guessed right, Dita would be back.
He didn’t know where Dita was travelling on business, but having left at noon and phoned Dita at dinner time, he had taken care of a few things, so he could guess that the trip was about three or four hours.
“I know him, no doubt he’ll be gone tonight, he’s desperately cold and determined, and there’s no need for him to prepare for anything that big, no doubt he’ll be gone as fast as he can …”
Dita said it so confidently that Allyce had to believe it too.
He hung up the phone and looked in Severo’s direction, his eyes sparkling in thought.
He approached Severo directly.
“Can we eat now?” Severo also looked at her, his expression clear and cold.
Allyce pursed her lips tightly and stared at him for a long moment: “Victorino is leaving tonight?
Severo’s pupils contracted violently at a rate visible to the naked eye.
Allyce, who was watching his behaviour closely, naturally saw it too.
He asked again: “Is this true?
“Why do you men always like to be like that? When it comes to making any decision, can’t you put yourselves in the other man’s shoes? If he Victorino wants to go, let him go, he won’t even see Dita one last time, he went to join Doctors Without Borders, who knows if he’ll come back alive, a doctor’s heart, I think he just has the most ruthless heart!”
Allyce is in a very emotional state.
Because Victorino’s behaviour reminded him of what Severo had done before.
When they make certain decisions, they only put themselves in their own shoes and never put themselves in the other person’s shoes.
If Victorino had left like that, it would have been a lifelong regret for Dita if something had happened and he had never returned.
