Micaela couldn’t help but shed tears watching the video.
“They are so in love and have experienced so many things and had so many good memories together, but still you can’t get over that face blindness?”
Arriving at Barrio Fanslan, Carlos parked the car, got out and opened the door for Micaela, took her in his arms and comforted her:
-Honey, don’t cry anymore. How many tears have you shed today? Don’t you know how it distresses me when I see you cry?
Micaela blushed slightly and tried to hold back her tears.
After being with Carlos, Micaela was becoming more and more sentimental, probably because she knew she had this man she loved close to her, so she gave free rein to her emotions.
Alba also got out of the car, somewhat stunned.
She really loved that man, but in the end she had forgotten him completely without a trace of memory of him.
Alba glanced at Carlos, who was holding Micaela in his arms, and said to herself mentally:
“At first, Ernesto must have been a way for me to forget Carlos, but unexpectedly, I fell in love with him and then forgot about him…”
The three of them went upstairs with their own thoughts.
Micaela sat Alba on the couch and began to tell her about the moments she had had with Ernesto, especially the dangerous experience of the Catyblaca Nation bombing.
Alba did remember that explosion, but only Carlos, and his handsome side face as he defused the bomb.
After a long narration, Micaela was a bit crestfallen that Alba still had no memory of Ernesto at all and wondered how Ernesto was doing now.
While she was meditating, Carlos came out of the studio and told them:
-Come with me and take a look.
Micaela, a little confused, took Alba with her and entered the man’s study.
Carlos bent down slightly and clicked on his computer, then stood next to Micaela.
Alba immediately recognized that it was her and the Ernesto that had been bothering her at the airport, no, it was two Ernestos. The one she had just seen in the photo was walking beside her, but suddenly some slick men in black suits appeared and one of them covered Ernesto’s mouth and nose from behind with a handkerchief, and two others dragged him away.
There were no people in the airport and those passing by saw the scene and ran away for fear of getting into trouble, so Ernesto was dragged away by those men by force.
Carlos paused the video, enlarged the image, and replayed it slowed down. In the video, Ernesto tried to struggle out of the men’s grasp, his eyes full of rage and unease, worried that Alba would be fooled by the man disguised as him. However, due to the drug effect on the handkerchief, he gradually lost his strength and disappeared from surveillance.
Micaela covered her mouth and the urge to cry came again.
“Ernesto loves Alba so much, to such a degree that he still thought of her, even though he himself was in danger…”
Carlos took Micaela in his arms and carried her outside.
Alba looked at the image and felt a sharp, inexplicable pang in her heart. It hurt like hell and she felt something was about to burst, but something was still missing….
Outside the studio, Carlos looked at Micaela, kissed her on the forehead and said:
-Mica, go arrange a room for Alba. I’m going to talk to her.
Micaela nodded and turned to go upstairs.
Carlos came in, sat down in the reclining chair by the window and said:
-Alba, I really want to talk to you.
Alba’s heart skipped a beat at the man’s words. She took a deep breath, turned around and sat down at the round glass table. Meeting his gaze, she hurriedly averted her eyes.
-Ernesto and I…. -Alba spoke first, thinking the man should talk about his relationship with Ernesto, but Carlos interrupted her.
-Alba, I didn’t want to tell you, but the look on your face is more and more evident, and if it goes on like this, I’m sure Mica will notice, and I don’t want to see a day like this.
Carlos would go crazy just thinking about that scene of Micaela withdrawing from the relationship after finding out that Alba’s true love was him! He would never let that happen!
If Micaela knew how Alba felt about him and would not forget, Carlos didn’t know how she would think and what choice she would make. After all, his sweetheart had such a deep friendship with Alba.
He didn’t want to give his sweetheart a choice. Her only choice was to be by his side. It couldn’t even occur to her to push him towards another woman!
Alba looked up, a little stunned, and scoffed to herself inwardly. “In his heart, Mica always occupies the most important place and he only cares about her. Alba, if he’s already told you so directly without considering your feelings one bit, why are you still obsessing over him so much? Wake up and stop making more ridiculous illusions.”
Carlos’ next words, even colder and more direct, stabbed into Alba’s heart like a sharp knife:
-Please find a suitable reason not to present yourself in front of Mica anymore.
Alba’s blood ran cold when she heard Carlos’ request and looked at him with eyes full of disbelief. It turned out that he had unilaterally decided to ask her to stay out of his life while she herself was willing to be quietly by his side without disturbing his relationship with Micaela.
After a good while, she let out a sigh and tried to convince the man:
-For my part, I won’t cause you and Mica any discomfort….
-Your presence, your looks and your damned face-blindness, are inconveniences to me!
Carlos deliberately lowered his voice so that Micaela could hear him, but even so, the anger in his tone was noticeable.
At this moment, Carlos heard Micaela’s footsteps coming down the stairs, he instantly got up and, without looking at Alba, went straight out and approached Micaela, who was looking towards the study.
-Mica, let’s go back to Nyisrenda first. Grandfather must grumble tomorrow if he doesn’t see us.
With that, Carlos took his wife by the hand to leave, but she withdrew her hand, turned to the study and said:
-Wait, I want to talk to Alba again?
Carlos looked at his own empty hand, stunned. It was the first time Micaela took the initiative to get rid of her palm….
Without a second thought, he took a step to reach her, hugged her directly from behind and said in his deep voice:
-No need. Ernesto is on his way and he will take care of it.
Micaela looked at him with some surprise.
In turn, Carlos kissed her gently on the cheek and explained:
-He was taken away by his father, but now he is free and almost here. Well, let’s leave a few moments for them, okay?
Micaela nodded then. And before she could say goodbye to Alba, the man took her outside holding her hand.
