Micaela looked at Tomas and Bianca, who were kissing, and blushed a little as she looked away, seeing Katarina not far away, who looked dejected, standing next to her, Antonio was answering the phone and walking away, Katarina was looking at his departing back with an even more unnatural expression….
The wedding day was not a pleasant experience for Katarina.
Antonio had taken good care of her, was attentive and made her feel full of love, but the guests who had come today, many of whom had attended her wedding, had come up to greet them with smiles and all.
-When are you having twins, Mrs. Franco?
Questions like these left Katarina unsure of how to answer.
Antonio took her by the shoulders and smiled, a picture of lightness.
-Katarina and I would like to spend more time as a couple, not parents.
Katarina could only smile back, trying to maintain a smile….
Looking at Antonio’s back, Katarina sighed inwardly, filled with bitterness.
How could there be children if they were always only at the forehead kissing stage?
-Katarina, are you all right?
Katarina looked back and saw Micaela standing next to her with a worried look on her face.
-Micaela.
Katarina unconsciously looked over to where she had just been, Carlos was chatting with a friend, it was no wonder he had spared Micaela.
Carlos had been holding Micaela’s hand, not moving an inch, and it was enviable to see.
There were plenty of pretty girls around who were drooling over Carlos, but they didn’t dare get close.
As for Micaela, who in the crowd would dare to think of Mr. Aguayo’s wife?
The attention paid to Carlos and Micaela was probably second only to Tomas and Bianca, the day’s protagonists.
Although there were many journalists on site, and although they all wanted to interview Micaela, she has always kept a low profile, not accepting any interviews, and with Carlos’s “stay out of it” vibe, the journalists had to give up this exclusive, and could only take some pictures and write about the periphery….
Micaela was a bit unable to open her mouth, asking:
-you and your husband, how are things going?
Katarina took her to a table and sat down, smiled and said:
-Micaela, I haven’t seen you for a long time, you are getting prettier and prettier, Mr. Aguayo is very good at taking care of people, he has made you very beautiful, I tell you, you can’t let Mr. Aguayo refuse a business from my family.
It’s an obvious answer.
Micaela asked cautiously:
-Do you go on like this?
Katarina lowered her head and nodded.
Micaela was a little surprised.
-I’ve seen on the news that he’s started taking over your family’s business, no, he’s supposed to be a family too…..
Micaela was so upset at this point that she couldn’t speak.
Katarina smiled and explained:
-Nothing, it’s true, Antonio started to take over the Carballo family business, the weight of the Franco family started to fall on Marcos little by little, to say the least, Marcos has indeed changed drastically, now he’s not at all the same playboy, my all the in-laws think it’s because of that Adriana.
Micaela didn’t react much, she just nodded slightly and asked:
-Your father is very happy with Antonio, isn’t he?
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to hand over the family business to him.
Katarina admitted.
-Yes, my father was very calm with him and said he felt at ease leaving me in Antonio’s hands, and now that the power of the company is in Antonio’s hands, I am quite free, so I can come and play with you more often from now on.
Micaela looked at Katarina seriously, knowing she wasn’t finished.
Katarina gave a half-smile.
-Micaela, the look in your eyes makes me feel warm and confident.
She picked up a bottle of mineral water from the table, took a sip and spoke slowly:
-The burden of the Carballo family, naturally, is very heavy, and when he carries it alone, there is a lot to do, very, very busy, so much so that, for months now, he has not gone near the master bedroom to sleep, he is busy in the study until late at night, and he sleeps there.
Micaela covered her mouth….
“It’s only been a few months since they got married, the relationship has been the same as before…”
-Has he confessed to you or not? -asked Micaela, lowering her voice.
It was approaching noon and the guests at the table were already looking for seats and the waiters were preparing to serve the food.
Katarina shook her head, her eyes drooping lower and lower.
-My father holds him in high esteem, my mother is very fond of him, and he treats me well, in everything but touching me.
Micaela was really surprised and did not know how to console her….
Someone sat down in the seat next to her and Micaela turned to see that it was Carlos.
As soon as he sat down, he took Micaela’s small hand in his palm.
Micaela, long accustomed to this and no longer blushing at the small gesture, looked toward Katarina to see Antonio approaching as well, taking his position next to Katarina and reaching out to take the bottle of water from Katarina’s hand, his voice low.
-How can you drink cold water at this hour, I’ll pour you a glass of warmer water.
Micaela hurriedly averted her eyes and looked at Carlos next to her.
Katarina could not drink cold water, so naturally it was physiological. Half a minute later, Micaela was surprised to realize that Antonio was indeed considerate, only how did he know Katarina was on her period?
Carlos’ hand tightened and his lips came closer.
-Tontita, there’s no need to ask that question.
Micaela blushed a little, and yes, it really wasn’t a good question, and besides, the table was getting crowded.
She couldn’t resist checking it out with Carlos, getting close to his ear and asking him:
-Do you see that Antonio loves Katarina?
Carlos didn’t raise his eyes to look at them, only at the girl in front of him:
-Yes, very much.
Micaela was convinced by Carlos’ words, but she couldn’t help but wonder even more, what was the problem that two people who liked each other and were married, didn’t sleep once with the woman they loved?
-Carlos, you and Micaela are in love and all TELADIA knows it, so leave the bachelors alone.
A flirtatious voice sounded and Micaela looked to see Natalia.
She took Leonardo’s hand and they sat down together.
Leonardo didn’t move and withdrew his arm.
Carlos looked at her suspiciously and said:
-Would Mrs. Nunez be single?
With that, he looked at Javier with intent, and then said casually and directly.
-At this table, there are two of your exes.
Leonardo didn’t make the slightest face at Natalia either.
-Carlos, you misunderstand me, Mrs. Nunez and I are just friends.
Antonio approached with a glass of boiled water and brought two others, Marcos and Adriana, whom he regretted bringing when he heard the word “ex”.
Katarina, who had been in a somewhat heavy mood, could not help but look at Micaela with a certain jocularity.
Ex and current, together again.
