It seemed that Mr. Victor had heard the news and was excited to come to Teladia.
Rubbing the corner of his forehead with a slight headache, Carlos said he would bring her right over and hung up.
Then the phone rang again, and it was Tomas.
Micaela was still awake, and when she saw Carlos sitting on the bed, she moved into his arms and lay on his chest.
Carlos felt softened by her catlike behavior and rubbed her head and kissed her forehead gently before answering the phone.
Tomas’ voice came with a warm, flirtatious tone.
-Brother, you’re so damn fast! Do you know that today Grandpa scolded me for not trying so hard, Micaela is pregnant and my Bianca is not yet!!!!
Carlos sighed and asked.
-How many other people in Salamentro know about this?
Tomas said triumphantly:
-Everyone knows, I just announced it in the family group and everyone is clamoring for me to send red packages to celebrate, I sent a huge one, you’ll have to reimburse me, bro!
Carlos felt an even bigger headache.
Looking down at the innocent woman lying in his arms, she looked up at him with loving eyes, and all the fire in Carlos’ heart dissipated.
Of course it wasn’t his girl’s fault, his darling was innocent, it was Diego’s fault!
She was going to go to the office and kill him!
-I’ll reimburse you, you just have to wait.
With that, Carlos hung up the phone again.
Tomas looked puzzled, why didn’t his older brother seem very happy?
He’s an iceberg, no one but Micaela can put him in the mood, right? Not even his own son!
Anyway, he couldn’t stop thinking about picking Bianca up for New Year’s Eve in a couple of days, and today he was so busy he could call her now.
Bianca answered quickly, with sweetness in her soft voice.
-Tomas.
-Call me sweetheart! -Thomas corrected her gravely.
There was the sound of walking on the phone, as if Bianca had gone to a more convenient place to talk, and then Tomas heard what he wanted to hear, as he had expected.
-Honey…
Tomas’ voice grew a little excited as he thought more and more of his wife.
-Baby, did you miss me?
The person on the other end of the line was a little embarrassed, but admitted.
-Well, I miss you a lot…..
Halfway through, Bianca remembered what she had to tell him and said excitedly.
-By the way, Tomas, I have some good news for you. My mother is pregnant and if she gives me a brother, I will be able to live permanently in Salamentro and be by your side all the time.
Tomas was very surprised. What a coincidence, he was about to tell his wife that Micaela was also pregnant, when he heard Bianca say with a smile he couldn’t resist:
-Tomas, today a very interesting thing happened, Micaela came to see me this morning, she saw the mother’s test stick in my room, she thought it was mine. She took a picture of it and sent it to Carlos, only for him to think that Micaela was pregnant and come to the mall with great enthusiasm to take Micaela, only to find out that Micaela was not pregnant. I’ve known Carlos for more than ten years, but this is the first time I’ve seen that expression on his face!
Saying that, Bianca couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
How much she loved Micaela, to be in such a hurry to come and take her home without asking any questions….
Tomas, however, was dumbfounded….
What an incredible coincidence!
I’ll be damned!
Mr. Victor was very excited about going to Teladia and threatened to spend New Year’s Eve with his great-grandson at Teladia.
…
At Nyisrenda, Carlos and Micaela were sitting on the couch across from Victor.
Diego stood up with a pained look on his face and explained what had happened.
Mr. Victor, after listening to the whole story, looked at Micaela with a regretful expression and looked at her flat belly….
Carlos took Micaela in his arms and Mr. Victor looked away. He had a huge red envelope for his precious granddaughter-in-law and great grandson….
In the middle of the day, Micaela spoke apologetically, full of remorse:
-Grandfather, I’m sorry, it’s all my fault…..
Carlos put his arm around her and emphasized.
-It’s not your fault!
Diego was quick to take the blame.
-Yes, Miss Micaela, it’s not your fault, it’s my fault, I didn’t understand the situation and I quickly told Mr. Victor, it’s all my fault.
While Carlos was slightly satisfied, Micaela was feeling more and more guilty and was rushing to try to explain herself, without wanting to, Mr. Victor said excitedly
-Yes! Diego, how old you are to make such a low mistake! No wonder you are still single at that age.
Carlos is not to blame, and his precious granddaughter-in-law even less, so it was Diego’s fault!
Diego felt a million blows to the heart and swallowed his teeth, suddenly realizing the true meaning of the saying.
Accompanying the king is like accompanying a tiger.
From now on, when he is with Carlos, he will have to add another skill to his repertoire: taking the blame!
Carlos did not tell Micaela that Tomas had announced it in the family group, otherwise she would not have had the courage to return to Salamentro with him for New Year’s Eve….
They all had dinner at Nyisrenda, she accompanied Mr. Victor downstairs to watch TV while Carlos and Diego went to the studio. It was after nine o’clock, after settling Mr. Victor in with the maids, when Micaela was relieved to see Diego, who had come down from upstairs, ready to leave, and she went upstairs with some embarrassment.
-Diego, I’m sorry…..
Diego smiled and shook his head.
-Miss Micaela, it’s not necessary to blame yourself, it’s a minor matter, it’s true that I didn’t understand it well.
Micaela was even more embarrassed, there was no sense to continue insisting on the subject, suddenly remembering something, she asked.
-Paula and you, how are things going?
Diego was a little surprised that Micaela was concerned about his personal affairs, and only after a long while he said.
-She and I, we have started dating.
After the Catyblaca Nation attack, he let go of Alba and began to look seriously at the woman who had always been around him, and found that Paula really hit it off with him, and he couldn’t help but be attracted to her….
Micaela looked at the hint of tenderness in his face and was sincerely happy for him….
Carlos came out of the study, thinking why the girl hadn’t come up yet, so he went downstairs to look for her. And seeing her and Diego by the door, chatting and laughing, he took a big step down and dragged Micaela into his arms.
-Let’s go upstairs and rest.
Diego hurried out.
Micaela went back to her room with Carlos and suddenly thought that Alba had returned today, but that girl had not contacted her, and she hurried to call her.
The phone was quickly picked up.
-Micaela, still no break?
Micaela was about to answer when the soft voice of a strange man came on the phone:
-Alba, who are you answering the phone for?
Micaela frowned, it wasn’t Ernesto’s voice!
As far as she remembered, Alba was her only name, Ernesto called her by her first name in public, and nena in private.
It was almost ten o’clock at night, and Alba couldn’t be with another man.
Micaela unconsciously clutched her breast and cautiously asked.
-Alba, who is the man next to you?
-She says it’s Ernesto.
