Carlos kissed her forehead and said slowly.
-Antonio did go to the woman’s house and the pictures on the internet of the two of them sleeping in the same bed are true, as to whether the two of them had sex, I didn’t ask.
Micaela’s heart shrank and she felt her brain go blank as she said, half-heartedly and faintly.
-Katarina is right, whatever means Adriana used to force Antonio, he didn’t trust Katarina, he gave Adriana the opportunity to force him, that’s a fact, if Antonio had talked to Katarina before and made it clear to her what was making him repeatedly give in to Adriana commit and not hide it, it wouldn’t have come to this point…..
Carlos wanted to say something, that, how to tell her, that it wasn’t simply a matter of believing it or not?
Micaela looked at Carlos and asked.
-Did Antonio ask you for help with the heat?
Carlos nodded his head.
-This matter, it is absolutely necessary that Mr. Carballo does not know, his condition is getting worse and worse, he may not last even half a month, do not make him suffer more when you leave, it is said that Mrs. Carballo’s health is also very bad, she cannot accept one blow after another, for Mr. Carballo’s sake, I must also help him to keep the matter a secret.
Micaela felt overwhelmed by mixed feelings.
Carlos rubbed her head.
-Micaela, from what I know about Antonio, I shouldn’t do anything bad to Katarina…..
Micaela shook her head.
-It’s all useless Carlos, Katarina’s heart has been broken and she’s afraid not to trust him anymore, how terrible to see what you see, Antonio has, drained all Katarina’s confidence…..
Any other woman would have been frightened by such graphic evidence time and time again, but Katarina has repeatedly believed him and tolerated him, and this time she would not have felt so devastated if she had not seen it with her own eyes.
Whether Antonio had a thing for Adriana or not, for Katarina, she had been literally hurt….
Micaela reached out and hugged Carlos tightly, her little face buried in his arms.
-The more I see this and that happening around me, the more I want to love you, Carlos, and I’m so glad this mess isn’t happening to us….
Carlos lifted the corners of his lips and tightened his arms, whispering in her ear.
-Well, it’s never going to happen to us.
He’ll try to help them if he can, but he can’t do anything about his feelings. Thinking of Antonio’s pained look a moment ago and of Leonardo, who was in love but didn’t make it, Carlos, just like Micaela, only wants to love the person in front of him and keep his girl safe….
-Carlos, shall we tell Antonio that Katarina is here? I just saw that Katarina turned off her phone… she’s so broken up that she doesn’t want to hear his explanation, right?
Carlos rubbed his head.
-Well, then, as she wishes, don’t tell her.
When he finished, he bent down, picked Micaela up, walked to the bed, settled her in, covered her with the thin blankets, kissed her forehead again and went to the bathroom to wash up.
When he came out, Micaela was still awake and full of thoughts about Katarina.
Carlos sat up, pulled up the thin blankets and then the nightgown, and Micaela reddened slightly.
Carlos prescribed a new ointment and continued to apply it to the wound.
Micaela was curious, as the scars were rumored to be inextricable, but the scars were becoming clearer, so she asked.
-How much did you pay for this ointment? It works very well.
Carlos applied the ointment, put it back on the table and said casually.
-One hundred and eighty thousand.
Micaela turned around and stood up with a start.
Carlos took her in his arms.
-Where to?
Micaela wrenched his hand away, got out of bed and went to get the ointment she had thrown in the trash this morning.
-This can be squeezed again, an ointment costs 180. 000, only ten grams!
Carlos let out a light laugh, reached out and again clasped the lovely Micaela in his arms, took the crushed ointment out of her hand, took aim and, with a perfect toss, returned it to the wastebasket, saying cockily.
-Little fool, ten more for you coming tomorrow, feel free to apply them, they’re nothing as long as they remove your scars.
Micaela was inwardly thrilled, but couldn’t help giving him a blank stare and muttering.
-Corruption!
Carlos turned off the light and lay down with a perfumed Micaela in his arms.
-Good girl, it’s time to sleep, it’s late.
Micaela obediently closed her eyes and, as soon as she lay still, she immediately thought of Katarina, the neighbor, and became extraordinarily anxious again….
-Can’t you sleep?
-Well, I wonder what Katarina should do now that all the Carballo family patrimony is Antonio’s? Well!
Carlos blocked her lips directly and kissed her so hard that she forgot to say anything….
Micaela suddenly remembered that Katarina was sleeping next to him and hurried to push him away, lowering her voice and saying anxiously.
-No Carlos, Katarina is next door…..
Carlos’ voice was low and muffled as he caressed her delicate neck.
-Well, then, lower your voice….
After tossing and turning many times in bed, Micaela felt tired and sleepy and finally fell into a deep sleep….
At that moment Antonio, anxious to return to the Carballo family villa.
He went to the hospital and also to his house, but Katarina was not there.
With his parents asleep, Antonio didn’t stay much longer and left immediately, incredibly upset at being caught by his mother reading all sorts of things again.
Whatever happened, he wouldn’t let go of Katarina!
The phone was switched off and, unable to find her, he had to go back to the Carballo family villa to have another look.
The doorman opened the door and was surprised to see his aunt back. Even seeing the doorman’s look of surprise, he guessed that Katarina probably hadn’t come back this way either, but he still entered the villa undeterred and reached the door to Katarina’s room. With a single force, he pushed the door open, how he wanted her to sleep in the bed, he wanted to see her, let her beat him, scold him, whatever….
The room dark and cold, not a trace of her scent, yes, she hasn’t lived here again either for a long, long time….
She turned on the light and sat on the edge of the bed with a disheveled air….
Adriana that damned woman!
-If you don’t find a way to get Marcos to marry me, I’ll make your life miserable! Today he’s only seen us sleeping together, next time I’ll tell him myself the secret you’ve been so careful to keep!
The woman’s words echoed in his ears and his fists clenched so tightly that he could kill her!
How the hell did she know?
No, the priority now is to find Katarina so he can rip out her heart and show her that his heart is only for her….
The phone rings with a message alert and Antonio rushes to pick it up to look at it.
It was not Katarina, it was Mr. Aguayo who sent it.
-Your wife doesn’t want to see you for now. Take care of things and calmly figure out how to fix it.
Relieved to know that Katarina had gone to see Micaela, Antonio became a little calmer, responded with a good word and turned to lie down on his pillow with Katarina’s faint breath on it….
Everything is fixed by the time Papa….
He’ll take Katarina away from here when he’s done with the father-in-law!
