It was already two o’clock in the afternoon and she was indeed hungry, Micaela nodded and Carlos rubbed her head in satisfaction and led her downstairs.
Sofia had already brought the food to the table.
After a late lunch, Carlos returned to take the girl down for a nap, and when he turned around with the curtains drawn, she was already lying down, making a big space on her side and pulling up the blanket, as if she was waiting for him to come upstairs.
Carlos was ready to go downstairs to work, but seeing this silent invitation from the girl, he felt too soft inside to refuse.
Lying down beside him, his little girl moved into Carlos’ arms and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Last night, at Olivia’s house, the three girls had slept in the same bed and chatted happily until the end of the night, not realizing that today Leonardo’s mother would do something like this….
Although I know it won’t do any good if I worry about it, I can’t help but think about it, it’s a pity that the baby is more than 3 months old….
Micaela is really sleepy, but she can’t sleep thinking about Olivia’s rocky road….
Carlos kissed her forehead, smelling the fragrance of her body, and hugged her a little tighter, a little more distracted.
-Can’t you sleep?
-Mmm.
Thin lips brushed her cheek, his voice a little muffled.
-Do you want me to help you? A little exercise and a little tiredness will help you sleep?
Carlos was teasing her, not waiting for the girl to whisper in response.
-Yes…
Carlos was stunned, the girl was extraordinarily reserved and shy and had never taken the initiative….
Before he could finish his thought, Micaela had already raised her head and moved closer to him, planting her lips on his and caressing his lower lip. Carlos grunted and, without hesitation, rolled over and took control of the girl….
…
It was dark when Micaela woke up and the room was even brighter because the curtains were drawn.
Actually, Carlos did not leave and slept beside her, on his side, facing her, with his big arms around her waist, Micaela looked at his handsome face and again her heart beat faster unfailingly….
Looking at his bare arms, Micaela blushed slightly, it was true that she slept better after exercising, she didn’t even dream, she woke up to see him, and she felt even more overwhelmingly happy, overwhelmingly grateful that there was nothing standing between her and Carlos….
Seeming to sense that the person next to her was awake, Carlos slowly opened his eyes and his first reaction was to take her further in his arms and move closer to kiss her on the cheek.
Micaela’s heart warmed and she asked.
-Why have you been sleeping with me all afternoon?
Carlos said bluntly.
-I didn’t sleep much last night when you were out.
His voice had the tone of a man who has just woken up.
Micaela felt even more that her heart was going to melt; it was a blessing to have him….
-Micaela, you make me not want to go anywhere, I just want to stick to you…..
Micaela blushed slightly and her small hands pressed against his chest.
-That, I’m hungry…
Carlos raised an eyebrow and his big hands roamed her body.
-Didn’t he just feed you?
Micaela grabbed his hand, but in vain, blushing more and more.
-No….
Carlos’s smile intensified, and his thin lips pressed deeper into the nest of her neck.
-But I’m not full…
The girl was exasperated.
-Carlos, you, you can’t be bad….
The man breathed deeply into the nest of her neck and released her, withdrawing his hand, how could he afford to starve her and, Carlos knew, the girl was anxious to get to the hospital to see Olivia.
Without Carlos’ grip, Micaela hurriedly turned away and went to wash up in the bathroom.
Carlos’ mouth twisted into a smile as he watched the girl’s back as she fled.
After dinner, Carlos took Micaela straight to the hospital.
At the hospital entrance, he met Alba and Ernesto.
The two women walked arm in arm in front of each other and the two men walked behind them.
Ernesto looked at Alba’s back, frowning slightly.
It was clear that everything was fine before, that even if she didn’t think about him, she wouldn’t resist him either, but since he had left here in the morning, there seemed to be a slight sense of detachment in her.
Let’s hope she’s overthinking it….
In the living room, Olivia was already seated, her face still pale. Leonardo was holding a bowl of soup, feeding Olivia spoonful after spoonful, his eyes watching Olivia with affection, his movements careful, each spoonful carefully blowing cold before bringing it to his lips.
Olivia’s eyes were slightly downcast as she cooperated with the soup….
The group walked in and saw that Leonardo hadn’t even changed his clothes, the same white shirt stained red….
Micaela and Alba were very excited, they were really here all the way….
The visit was very depressing, Olivia tried to be strong and said she was fine, Leonardo didn’t say much either.
-That, Micaela, I’m sorry I gave you the makeup artist job…..
Leonardo, who was sitting on the couch with Carlos and Ernesto, immediately peeked out.
Micaela volunteered.
-It doesn’t matter, the make-up artist you introduced me to before is also quite good, and as we agreed before, she can come whenever she wants, and if she is not available, Brillantella also has a make-up artist, so you don’t have to worry, rest and recover.
Alba nodded and said seriously.
-It’s important that your body recovers, don’t worry about the rest.
Olivia nodded and was relieved to see Leonardo…..
Ernesto lowered his voice and asked.
-Leonardo, what are your plans?
Carlos also looked at him with a crooked look.
Leonardo looked back at Olivia, who was talking to Micaela and Alba, who were sitting next to her, left and right, before saying firmly, half-heartedly.
-Face my mother to the end.
Ernesto nodded.
-Good for you, the other day I was talking to my father about changing to using my wife’s last name.
Leonardo’s heart seized with pain when he thought of what Olivia had told him when he woke up, when he had refused without hesitation and Olivia had said nothing else, but he knew that she had really moved to that idea of divorcing him….
She wouldn’t have agreed to it, no matter what.
Carlos raised his eyebrows slightly, remembering something, and asked.
-Talking to you, have you heard?
Ernesto looked at Alba and lowered his voice to say.
-Someone did approach my father on purpose, he addressed him specifically because of it, the assistant next to my father said it was a woman, the person was wearing a mask and sunglasses as if he knew we were going to be suspicious, he didn’t recognize exactly who it was, he checked the surveillance and didn’t see him either.
He got ready…
Some people stayed until after 9 pm, when Micaela and Alba explained a thousand times not to get carried away and to rest, before getting up and leaving, during which time Leonardo’s assistant brought him clothes.
Olivia’s parents, who had been installed by Leonardo in the evening, returned to their and Olivia’s villa to rest and the place was left in their care.
Olivia’s father and mother did not refuse, as if in thought.
After dismissing his friends, Leonardo quickly returned to the living room.
Olivia was about to lie down when Leonardo hurried a large step forward and carefully propped her up.
Smelling the blood on him, Olivia felt her nose tingle.
-Leonardo, go take a shower and change your clothes, I can’t go anywhere right now.
Leonardo caught the gap in her statement.
-If you can’t go now, you’ll have to drop me off later when you can go, won’t you?
Olivia looked at him without speaking, her insides churning a hundred times….
She knew what he was doing by not moving an inch from her all afternoon….
She couldn’t afford to love anymore, she couldn’t fight her mother, she didn’t even think of fighting her and she paid a terrible price, what she lost today was the baby in her womb, from now on, what she would lose….
That Leonardo loses his career, his family, his parents, his peace of mind….
This is not what she wants, it’s too heavy, she really, really can’t face him anymore….
Leonardo looked at Olivia’s helpless expression and his heart clenched, Olivia’s mother had asked him several times in the afternoon to go back to change, but he just didn’t want to, he was afraid that by the time he got back, his father-in-law would have taken Olivia, Olivia was now weak, he knew Olivia’s father wouldn’t do that, but he just didn’t want to take that 0, 01 risk, that fear of not finding The fear of not finding her, he didn’t want to try again….
Leonardo sat down on the stool and took the hand she hadn’t put the needle in, his eyes full of determination.
-Olivia, just look at me and I’ll show you that I’m as determined as you are.
Olivia’s eyes reddened slightly and she whispered.
-Leonardo, I love you.
I really love you, but when two people are together, it’s not enough to have love…
