Allyce’s smile deepened a little at Lucila’s emotions, “Yes, really back, but …”.
He paused before continuing: “I left in such a hurry that I didn’t have time to buy anything, not even a decent present.
“What’s the point of saying something so awkward between us!” Lucila bristled and sat down opposite her, looking around the room before asking with some surprise, “Why are you alone again, where is Severo?”
“He’s still in J. I went back first.” At the mention of Severo, Allyce’s eyes darkened.
At that moment, Neto also entered, his eyes fell on Allyce and he said in a half-joking tone, “Are you really back?”
Allyce smiled back, “It’s been a long time, thank you for taking such good care of Alonzo. ”
For Neto, she is truly grateful.
Neto waved his hand, copied it into the pocket of his suit trousers and said: “See you!
Allyce’s smile widened a little more.
It is a bit of an exaggeration to say so, but a well-deserved thank you is in order.
Neto looked at the time again and said, “You haven’t eaten yet, at this hour? Kimdis?”
“Yes, it’s on me.” Allyce replied.
Then, a group went to Kimdis.
During the meeting, Neto spoke only of harmless anecdotes and did not mention Severo.
Perhaps it was because of his previous stay in the country, when he and Neto had not seen each other, and perhaps because of his birth and reputation, that Allyce was more or less prejudiced against him.
Only on this return did he get the impression that Neto was actually a very quiet man.
He asks nothing, but his heart knows everything like a clear mirror.
We were all old friends, and with Neto to keep up the pace, the meal was quite enjoyable.
On the way back, Allyce stopped to do some shopping and Neto and Lucila followed her to Villa in the Bay of Clouds.
After all, no one has lived in the villa for so long, and although there are servants to watch over it, so you can ask for anything you need, it is not as personal as a friend.
Back at the Villa in the Bay of Clouds, while Lucila was taking Alonzo for a juice, Neto asked Allyce: “Did Severo say when he was coming back?”
Allyce just shakes her head.
Seeing this, Neto confirmed the suspicion in his mind, with a few words of certainty in his tone: “He specifically chose the first day of the presidential election convention to send you back.
“Yeah, he’s going to bring me back, where am I going to fight him?” Allyce sighed, sounding a little helpless.
Neto had probably guessed what was going on. Severo would not have let Allyce know he was sending her back, would have let his guard down and then sent her back without her knowing.
If Severo had told Allyce in advance that he was going to send her back, Allyce would have been reluctant and would have picked on him, and at that point, could he have been ruthless?
To put it bluntly, Severo has a soft spot in his heart for the few people around him.
“Don’t get angry with him, he was like that more than ten years ago, he doesn’t say anything when something worries him, he only knows how to do what he thinks is right, sometimes I feel like hitting him”.
Neto had a smile plastered on his face, obviously relieved.
Allyce laughs a little at the thought of Severo’s situation.
She shook her head, “At first I was a bit angry, but now I’m just worried, Severo has been very busy, I thought he was busy with work or something to do with the presidential elections, but now that I think about it, I always thought it was something more than that”.
Neto sensed the concern in his tone and looked a little serious: “My older brother tracked down the Grizzi matter earlier, after the trail was broken here in Cloud Cit, all the information went abroad, but it is not so easy to do things abroad, a lot of paperwork is required, the process is very complicated and exhausting, so, the matter was put on hold for the time being. ”
After all, Grizzi is the largest mafia organisation in the international arena, and it is only natural that if they commit a crime in Z, the state sends agents to deal with it.
However, once these people are out of the country again, it is much more difficult to deal with them.
The Pastrano family, although not of low status and Marco’s status in the army, most of the time required taking care of the big picture.
Allyce frowned, “Your big brother?”
He thought for a moment before remembering Marco as a person.
He does not have a good impression of Marco as a person and does not contact him when he can.
Neto sensed the antipathy in his tone and smiled, without saying much.
…
Lucila and Neto left soon after, as Allyce had just returned and needed to rest.
It turns out that Alonzo is also taking a nap.
After Allyce put him to sleep, he carefully removed his hand from Alonzo’s small grip.
Every child clings to its mother.
Even after Allyce has been away for so many months, Alonzo still loves her and even pulls her hand when she sleeps.
Allyce reached out, touched his face and gave him another kiss on the cheek before getting up and leaving.
I was tired after such a long flight, but I didn’t want to sleep.
When he went to draw the curtains, he saw Xabat standing in the courtyard, smoking.
Xabat had wanted to return, but Allyce had asked him to stay, she had something to tell him.
She stepped out of the lobby with a hint of coolness in the wind that greeted her.
Xabat sensed someone behind him, turned his head to see it was Allyce and hurried to put out the cigarette in his hand and say respectfully, “Ma’am”.
“Let’s go talk in the lounge.” Allyce said, and turned to lead the way back.
The two men sat down in the hallway and Allyce spoke immediately: “Go back to J. He needs you.
She could see that Xabat was really worried about Severo, and so was she.
The Xabat brothers are Severo’s right-hand men, his right-hand men, and due to the influence of the LK Group, the Xabat brothers are so well known in the sector that they were once offered a high price to be taken away from Severo.
Of course, that didn’t work either.
To be honest, the Xabat brothers and Severo, who had a lifelong friendship and, to be conservative, a debt of gratitude to them, would not betray Severo.
Now, Severo has been fleeced by Xabat, the more capable of the two brothers.
Cloud Cit, a place I knew all too well.
After all those years in the Delahoz family with no one to love her or look after her father when she was nine years old, she is now a full-fledged woman, mother and business owner, and she is really able to support herself.
Only, as Severo is always close by, he will lean on him more.
It is a bad part of human nature.
