Katarina was dragged into the room by Antonio and before she had a chance to see what was in the room she was pulled into a familiar embrace….
-Are you tired of seeing your husband at home and plan to get a better looking one?
-That’s right, get a better one!
-Katarina, your husband doesn’t satisfy you and you need a new one?
Just walking upstairs and listening to Katarina’s conversation with them made Antonio’s heart clench? For a more handsome one?
Feeling a blow to his masculine dignity, he grabbed her chin and reached up to aggressively capture her lips, full of rage, acidity and bitterness….
Rage and jealousy burned in his senses, thinking he would give in and bind her to him, even if he hated it later!
Change to something higher?
It couldn’t be, it couldn’t be!
Thinking of the look of disgust she would give him if she knew the truth filled him with guilt, and the valley of screams made him hope she was going to lose control….
Katarina catches the tail end of sanity and, indeed, she shouldn’t be here.
-Antonio, no, this is Olivia’s house…..
Antonio stopped, panting, turned over, lay on his side and closed his eyes, thinking bitterly: are you really going to take the woman you love the most to hell?
Katarina opened her eyes in a daze and looked up at the unfamiliar ceiling, half-heartedly, sat up, smoothed out her messy clothes and then looked at Antonio.
-Antonio, I’m just joking with them, don’t worry if I do?
Antonio opened his eyes and looked at the woman sitting next to him.
Katarina wondered how much of what they had just said he had heard, and had to take a stand once again.
-Antonio, I love you and I’m willing to keep waiting?
Look at the understanding look in her eyes, it’s obvious she loves him very much….
Antonio realized once again how bad it was, but, by not telling her the truth, he didn’t want her to suffer as much as he did, and he wanted to find a place to start over with her when it was all over….
That sour feeling still came over him, his Katarina must have fantasized about being possessed by him too….
Katarina reached out to straighten his clothes, but Antonio suddenly grabbed her by the hand and hugged her, his hoarse voice echoing in her ear.
-Katarina, come to hell with me….
Katarina raised her head from in front of him and looked into his deep eyes with some surprise for a long moment before saying.
-Antonio, just to be with you is heaven….
Antonio’s heart flips and he stirs with her in his arms.
-Katarina, if you regret it later, don’t tell me.
I wouldn’t be able to bear it, it would definitely be worse than letting him die…..
Katarina looked over her to Antonio and shook her head seriously.
-I won’t regret it….
Antonio kissed her hard, a dominating take….
After a long while, Antonio released her red lips and Katarina spoke hurriedly.
-No, Antonio, wait to go back to…..
Antonio paused, yes, he couldn’t make things difficult for the woman he loved the most, this was someone’s house, even if his friends didn’t say anything, in the end the girl had thin skin.
-Okay, let’s go home.
He quickly straightened his own clothes and then hers, got up and pulled them on, opened the door and went out.
Outside, a flurry of people were sitting on the sofas drinking tea and, seeing them leave, were about to ask when Anthony said directly.
-Guys, Katarina and I are going to go back and meet up another time.
Then, taking Katarina’s hand, he headed straight for the door.
Ernesto watched with some surprise as her back disappeared.
-Are you in a hurry to get back to the baby?
Alba was drinking tea and it slipped out when she heard him, do you want to be so precise?
Micaela and Bianca also have red cheeks, as they just saw, clearly, Katarina’s swollen lips and the marks clearly visible on her neck?
Ernesto, who was sitting next to her, found himself in distress, but his first reaction was to give Alba a piece of paper and wipe the water off her body, while asking her mockingly.
-Friend, it’s a baptism of love for me?
Bianca and Micaela laugh, Ernesto is very funny….
Alba choked, coughed for a while and changed the subject.
-What brings you here all of a sudden?
Ernesto patted her back to soothe her and asked in turn.
-You come to see your best friend, can’t I come to see your best friend’s husband?
As he spoke, Leonardo came down the stairs with Olivia in his arms and, hearing Ernesto’s comment, replied.
-It’s false to look at me, it’s obvious that you intend to cling to your girlfriend.
Olivia buried her face in her husband’s arms, afraid to see anyone.
I don’t know where she got the idea that you can’t go downstairs even on your birthday, that you can’t even take a step down the stairs and you have to carry her in your arms!
Too embarrassing, so many people staring….
Ernesto looked at Carlos and spoke.
-Carlos, what do you think about Leonardo telling us to stay with our girlfriends?
Carlos handed the peeled orange to the girl next to him, and then answered indifferently.
-I didn’t see much, actually.
It was because Micaela was here that he came on purpose.
Micaela blushes slightly as she eats an orange….
Leonardo was in a good mood, his lovely wife kissed him upstairs and fed him soup, a good sign that his wife was coming out a little from the loss of their son, and he was too happy to bother talking badly to them.
Olivia’s mother, who was helping to distribute the dishes in the dining room, came out to say hello.
-Leonardo, bring your friends to the table for dinner, the kitchen is ready.
They were all seated when Olivia’s father suddenly asked.
-Are there not two more? Clearly I just saw Katarina and her husband?
Ernesto raised an eyebrow and said.
-They have something better to eat, go back and eat.
Olivia’s father is a bit puzzled, Leonardo and Olivia know it by heart and must have double-checked….
Something like jealousy is the best solution there is….
Olivia’s father and Olivia’s mother were very happy to see Leonardo and Carlos and Ernesto speaking so eloquently as they continued to care for Olivia, but why should they have a mother who doesn’t know right from wrong?
Olivia’s father’s feelings become more and more mixed….
Carlos, Ernesto and Antonio, who just left, are exceptional talents and Leonardo is in a circle that is doing very well and will only get better in the future.
His affair with Mrs. Nunez did hit the Pinto family hard, but Leonardo pulled himself up by his bootstraps, and his ability is not to be outdone, something Olivia’s father appreciates, and in contrast to his own family….
Olivia’s mother also watched her daughter sitting next to Leonardo, the two interacting so sweetly and happily….
Just now, in the garden, Micaela’s words echoed in her ears.
-Aunt, the pain may fade in three or five years, but has it occurred to you that Olivia’s happiness may be something that only Leonardo can give? Some people go through life without meeting the other half of their love, they just live with the right person, do you want that for Olivia?
Sighing inwardly, Olivia’s mother was very embarrassed, not knowing how to help her only daughter.
A female voice suddenly sounded from the door of the restaurant, with a tone full of mockery.
-I, do you really consider me Pinto family as your own family? Are all the people in your family so shameless?
