“Did I get it wrong again?”
Alba removed the large hand on her head and said:
-I’ve been lucky.
Ernesto asked as he drove:
-Where is your house?
Alba answered immediately:
-I don’t want to go back. You go back to your house first.
“Back to Barrio Fanslan?”
“No, Carlos is there. I haven’t figured out how to deal with him yet.”
-Sure you still dare to drive now?
Alba still needed to calm down a bit.
“What should I do then?”
“I don’t want to go home alone. If I go back to Barrio Fanslan, Carlos will force me to ask questions.”
-Alba, you’ve offended Carlos, haven’t you?
Alba looked at him with surprise. Looking at him seriously for the first time, she discovered that his sideways face was very beautiful…..
-We never got along before, how could you possibly agree to take me home? But you didn’t refuse and dodged his gaze, how strange!
Alba looked out the car window and thought she had guessed correctly.
-You like Carlos, don’t you?
Oh, my God!
Ernesto looked at her reaction and felt like he was relieved.
“I’m crazy. She and Micaela are best friends, how could she like him?”
Alba said seriously:
-Don’t joke!
Ernesto nodded:
-Since you don’t want to go home, let’s go to a place to relax.
And Alba didn’t refuse.
In fact, he didn’t know that she was surprised that he had told her his hidden secret.
The car stopped in front of Moontime.
***
It was almost ten o’clock, Micaela finished showering, dried her hair and sat down cross-legged. “I have to give an answer to Mr. Eric tomorrow. He just sent me the electronic version of the contract and told me to make sure I convince Carlos…”
Thinking about the solution Eric taught himself today, she felt she could only try.
She picked up her phone and opened the door to see Carlos, dressed in a robe, standing in the doorway of her room.
Micaela greeted unconsciously:
-Hello, what a coincidence!
Carlos entered with large steps:
-I came looking for you on purpose.
Micaela closed the door and followed behind him, answering:
-I was also ready to find you!
Carlos stopped. As Micaela followed him closely, she suddenly hit him against his back….
Carlos hurried to turn around, and saw her tears coming out because her nose hurt.
Carlos was heartbroken, holding her little face and seeing the red nose….
-I’m sorry, are you okay?
Suddenly an idea occurred to him and he pretended to cry:
-So painful…
Carlos was anxious:
-Hold on, I’m going to call the doctor!
With that, he was about to leave, but was stopped by Micaela’s hand:
-I don’t want to see a doctor, just promise me one thing and it won’t hurt anymore!
-Honey…
-Promise me first!
Carlos immediately sensed the difference, but still agreed:
-Well, I promise you anything you want.
And then he lifted her in his arms.
Micaela wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a jerk:
-I want to take the endorsement of the Davalos family watch, you could not break your word!
Carlos stopped and looked carefully at her nose and the marks of tears on her face….
She was doing it on purpose, but knowing that, he still couldn’t refuse. She was so pretty, he wanted to take a bite….
No matter what she did, whatever expression she had, lively, shy or angry, it all looked pretty to him.
“Such a lovely woman, if she had been in Alba’s car today, would she have been in a car accident right now?”
He had just watched the surveillance video. The speed of the car that crashed was so fast, even though he had always arranged for people to secretly protect Micaela, in that situation, there was nothing he could do. How scary!
He was holding her in his arms, staring at her, without saying a word. She couldn’t help but feel nervous, but the words had been said, how could she back out!
After all, it was her own plan. Micaela lowered her head somewhat embarrassed, and said in a low voice:
-My nose doesn’t hurt anymore, and I don’t need to see a doctor. But you just promised me…..
-Well.
-How?
Micaela stared in disbelief. “What did you just say?”
Carlos led her to the bed and then sat down next to her, saying:
-Well, you can do as you wish, although I don’t want you to come in contact with her.
Carlos lifted a lock of her long hair:
-Honey, you are unique, and no one can compare with you. You mustn’t feel inferior in front of her, okay?
Micaela was so moved that the tears rolled down one by one….
Carlos approached her and kissed her tears away.
-Honey, don’t cry. I’m yours forever.
Micaela put her arms around his neck and Carlos turned off the light so they could lie down.
Feeling his body temperature too high, Micaela spoke nervously:
-Carlos, I, I….
Carlos knew what she meant.
-Honey, I can wait until we are married to have sex with you.
He didn’t want to force her, he just wanted to wait for her trust. He didn’t want her to remember the bad memories. She needed to face them, and so did he….
The first thing he did when he left on his business trip was to go to that hypnotist, who didn’t say anything about it, only that her good friend knew the situation.
She didn’t expect Alba to lie to her.
However, he was in no hurry, since she knew, he naturally had a way to make her talk, so he deliberately brought Micaela back to Nyisrenda today, so that Alba could breathe a sigh of relief first.
In fact, she went to a famous psychiatrist and talked to her about Micaela’s situation. This one told him that he had to let Micaela remember that incident by herself, otherwise, he and Micaela, might never get to this point and that nightmare would haunt her for the rest of her life…..
However, it was too cruel for her….
And the culprit who made her like this, she still hasn’t found him!
Hearing his forceful words, Micaela blushed and whispered
-Then, can I marry you?
Carlos frowned and asked:
-Who do you want to marry if you won’t marry me? Honey, do you want me to take you to get your license right away?
Micaela shook her head in her arms:
-I mean, will I have your family’s approval?
She had a lot to worry about, so Carlos rubbed her head and replied calmly:
-Of course.
“The person I love, it’s not up to them.”
When Micaela heard his answer, she felt much calmer, thinking that Tomas even recognized her as his sister-in-law, so it must be that their family members got along well, right?
Maybe that concept of a family being suitable for each other is not present in her family?
Micaela suddenly felt relief and asked with some shyness:
-So, Carlos, when my contract with Brillantella expires, can we get married?
“There are still two years left on the contract.”
“No, that can’t be; when I find the man, she would be my wife!”
But he could not go back on his word, so Carlos agreed:
-All right.
She felt too happy.
Only then she wondered if Alba had returned to Barrio Fanslan and hurried to call her.
After several times, no one answered, and Micaela felt a little strange, so Carlos picked up his phone and dialed Ernesto’s number.
The call quickly went off the hook, and the sound of loud music came from inside. Carlos pushed it away a little and asked:
-Ernesto, is Alba with you?
Ernesto immediately recognized it as Carlos’ voice. He looked at Alba, who was on the dance floor and answered:
-Yes, we are at Moontime.
-Then take care of her, goodbye.
With those words, he hung up the phone and left it on the bedside table.
Amazed, Micaela said:
-That’s the bar Alba took me to that time, isn’t it? When did Alba and Ernesto get along so well? Did they even meet for a drink?
Carlos took her in his arms again and kissed her on the forehead:
-Maybe they could be a couple.
Micaela giggled:
-How is that possible? Alba wouldn’t like a man like him.
Carlos asked rhetorically:
-Then which guy would she like?
Micaela thought it over and answered:
-A guy like you!
