Micaela was moved, she did not dare to look at Carlos, the affection in his eyes almost overwhelmed her….
Yerma was also a little moved, she clearly didn’t remember Moya, but she could recognize her at a glance, and firmly expressed that she only wanted her.
But she still looked at Carlos and asked aggressively:
-Mr. Aguayo, love is sometimes an impulse. You like our Moya with a sudden heartbeat, but do you really know her? Do you know her personality and hobbies, do you know her past? You’ve seen her too, she’s very big -I’m pregnant, I’m going to give birth soon, can you accept this?
from Carlos, he hated himself for not coming forward sooner, for not protecting her under his wings sooner and letting other men go ahead….
Micaela immediately felt distressed and looked at her mother.
-Mom…
Yerma continued saying without hesitation:
-You said you love her, are you sure Moya loves you? Did you ask her if she would? She is my only daughter, Mr. Aguayo, you are from Anlandana, do you think I would marry her so far away? I don’t want to, my Moya can only live in Salamonsa!
Speaking of the latter, Yerma’s tone was a little unconsciously excited.
Micaela was startled and stood up trying to stop her mother from continuing, Carlos also stood up, took the girl in his arms, hugged her tightly and looked at Yerma with deep eyes.
-If her daughter doesn’t love me, she won’t let me live in this house, she won’t let me have the chance to be near her, she won’t be sorry that she is alone and she will call me immediately. I regret not coming to Salamonsa sooner, but it is not too late now, she and the child in her womb will be mine. I cannot participate in the past, but her future can only be mine!
Joy, touch and sadness struck Micaela’s heart, she looked away, Carlos, my past and my future has always been you….
Yerma was completely shocked by the powerful aura emanating from him. Everything he said poured into her brain, which shocked her. He didn’t know the child was his, but he used it so firmly. The way he expressed it, he wanted Moya, and he wanted this child….
Carlos wasn’t finished yet.
-As for your reluctance to marry the girl so far away, it doesn’t matter. I can come here. I promise you, I won’t make her suffer a bit.
Micaela’s eyes were still red at last, the bracelet was on her slender waist, her feelings were so turbulent, so direct, so simple, so unhesitating….
Yerma was completely shocked. The image of Moya standing with him was so beautiful, and Carlos was surrounding her so naturally, protecting her in his arms. Natalia’s so-called hypnosis really had no effect on him. Such a deep love cannot be elaborated in more than ten hours, but he doesn’t know it yet….
He did not know what to say for a while, he could not agree with Moya’s departure from Salamonsa knowing that Moya was in danger, but he could not just watch Patricia’s son die in Salamonsa, it was anxiety, the phone in her purse rang.
Yerma quickly pulled out her cell phone and went to the balcony to pick it up.
Carlos rubbed the girl’s head.
-Are you afraid?
Micaela looked at him and he lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead naturally.
-I’m sorry, I can’t control my feelings for you, child, every word I said is true. There must be resistance in the future that will prevent us from being together, can you let me know a little more about your surroundings?
Right now?
He wanted too much to bring her into his sphere of influence, and he had to know the surrounding situation as soon as possible to deal with all emergencies.
Micaela was sorting out her thoughts in her mind and was about to speak when she saw her mother enter with a nervous expression.
-Moya, Jeronimo Echave is holding a board meeting, forcing me to fill the financing hole immediately or hand over the capital stock, I must go to the company right away…..
Micaela immediately stepped forward.
-I will be with you.
Yerma looked at her daughter’s belly, nodded and shook her head.
-You go back to the design department, don’t come to participate, they talk so badly….
Micaela turned around and went into the room to get her purse and cell phone, then she put on her coat, as she turned around she saw that Carlos was also coming in, she picked up the suit jacket that was on the back of the chair and put it on elegantly….
She took a step forward and was about to speak when Carlos took her by the hand.
-Come on, I’ll walk you there.
The discretion in the tone made Micaela feel very relieved, without thinking of refusing.
Yerma hesitated when she saw that Carlos was also going there together.
Jeronimo spoke so badly, Moya brought a man there, I don’t know how they would be attacked by her father and daughter….
Carlos saw Yerma’s hesitation and frowned slightly.
I’ll go take a look.
The simple five words, revealing the irresistible pressure of the one giving the orders, made Yerma commit herself by accident.
She didn’t have time to think about it, she was full of thoughts about what to do if she didn’t get the mayoral position, what to do if she didn’t get the Echave Group, how to fill that position. big funding gap….
When she got to the parking lot downstairs, her hands were shaking as she pulled out her keys, she shook her head and dropped the car on the ground, bent down to pick it up and Carlos picked it up.
-Let me drive.
Micaela took his hand feeling very anxious, but still comforting her mother:
-Mom, don’t be nervous, there will always be a way…..
A limited edition Lamborghini?
Carlos raised his eyebrows and looked at the car keys, it seemed the girl had a good family background, but why did she live in a lower-middle class community?
I pressed to unlock and saw the taillights of the white car flashing not far away.
Carlos climbed into the driver’s cab and backed the car up all at once. The mother and daughter sat in the back seat. Micaela gave the general direction first. Carlos nodded and set off immediately.
Looking in the rearview mirror, the mother and daughter looked anxious and he said calmly:
-Girl, tell me the general situation.
His deep voice had a powerful and soothing meaning, Micaela also calmed down, looked at her mother and said slowly:
-I have only been back in Salamonsa for a year now. Before, in other countries, my father was originally the city lord of Echave City, but he passed away five years ago. My uncle’s family wanted to take over the position of city lord from our Echave family, and they also wanted to take away El Grupo Echave run by my dad, my uncle Jeronimo and his daughter Sonia own a big part of the company, and now I am forcing my mother to solve the financial crisis, otherwise my mother will make him leave El Grupo Echave….
Carlos digested the news and asked:
-Who is the city lord’s position now?
Yerma struggled to bear the pain of hearing again the news of her husband’s death, saying:
-The city lord adopts a hereditary system. Originally, we, Moya, should be the lord of the city, but Moya just returned and….
Yerma hesitated to speak, she looked in the front rearview mirror, only collided with Carlos’ gaze, his deep eyes exuded a light of wisdom, which made her suddenly feel like telling, she looked at her daughter and said :
-Moya is pregnant again, and now I’m acting like the lord of the city. Jerome prompted everyone to cancel Moya’s inheritance titles. Now, Salamonsa’s gem resources are getting scarce and there is a crisis of unity. If I don’t do it, to protect Echave City, Echave City is going to disappear in Salamonsa….
Carlos landed on the girl’s face for a second, seeing that her face was also in pain, which made his heart contract, he looked forward and said slowly:
-So, now it is a situation of internal and external problems.
Yerma nods.
-Yes, the most urgent at the moment is the financial gap. I mortgaged all the assets of the Echave family, trying to fill the financing gap, but with little success, the financing chain is broken, as difficult as it is for Grupo Echave. to operate, Jeronimo has money, but they are impotent and want me to give them the company!.
Yerma said was extraordinarily angry, and clenched her fists tightly.
Carlos observed the road conditions, followed the route they were saying, looked at the girl through the rearview mirror and said calmly:
-Aunt, don’t worry, I will help you solve this financial crisis.
