It is nighttime.
Micaela is sitting in front of the computer, chatting with her little sisters in the button group. It’s after nine o’clock at night here, and after eight o’clock during the day in Anlandana. Some good friends have started recording a group video together, and they have been meeting online for three days at this time to chat.
During these three days of chatting, Micaela learned that Alba’s face blindness had greatly improved and that she had no longer forgotten Ernesto;
Knowing that Katarina, Olivia and her mother-in-law were so close that she was like a mother-in-law, and Antonio’s mother even went to Fracimon Nation to bring Katarina’s mother herself;
Knowing that she had just left Anlandana, Alba went to the airport in disguise to beat up Natalia and found out about Natalia and Carlos’ posh wedding;
She also found out that Javier is still missing and I wonder where Natalia has hidden him, Natalia controls most of the power in Grupo Aguayo…
Olivia’s voice came:
-Micaela, isn’t it a very imposing thing to be the Lord of the City?
Micaela came back to herself, thought about what her mother normally had to do and answered:
-It is quite tiring to be the Lord of the City with many things to take care of, but it is very much loved by the inhabitants of the city.
Actually there are very few people like Gerard who want to usurp the throne and don’t discriminate against the ladies of the city….
Alba has a flirtatious look.
-Don’t be afraid, Carlos is there, you are just the titular master of the city, he must be doing all the big and small things, he is so Sweetheart you, how can he let you get tired!
Olivia smiled and immediately said meaningfully:
-That’s right, it’s good to tire you out in bed!
Micaela blushed instantly when a waspish Olivia discovered the hickey on her neck during a video with them last night and was collectively teased by them for half an hour….
Bianca saw Micaela blushing again and immediately changed the subject:
-So looking forward to your return, eh, how about our kids doing the week together?
In a week’s time it will be a week and Alba is looking forward to it at once:
-What a good suggestion! We have three children, but we have the same year and the same month, within a few hours of the same day, so we can all spend our birthdays together in the future!
-Hey, I’m so envious!
Olivia’s and Katarina’s voices sounded at the same time.
Bianca, who said she would have another one next year, immediately got excited and said:
-Don’t be jealous, go out together with your second child!
Alba immediately refused:
-No, I will not have a second child! It hurts so much that I am determined not to have a second child.
Micaela is a little distracted and looks at Mike who sleeps in the stroller next to her….
During the week, she didn’t dare to fantasize about something so far away….
Both Tomas and Ernesto knew of Micaela’s inability to leave Salamonsa, but neither spoke to their wives.
They were both so happy that Micaela was not dead and that Carlos could not stay in Salamonsa for more than three months to definitely bring her back, they did not want to leave their wives in that state of grief, not knowing what to do, so they could be happy one more day, besides, everything was still an unknown, maybe Carlos could solve the problem?
Micaela also did not say anything about her situation with Carlos like that in that email, she wanted to write it at the time but did not because Carlos was sitting next to her and she was afraid he would see her….
In retrospect, it was wise not to say it, or else my friends would have had to follow the sadness of new….
-Micaela, are you having a second child?
Katarina’s question brought Micaela back to herself, who paused for a second, looked down slightly to hide the dejection on her face and, after a long moment, looking up and smiling, said:
-More than two children, I would not like to have three!
He would love to have more children to keep him company while he has free time Carlos?
-Wow, Micaela is so brave!
-A role model!
-Haha, Alba, let’s see if you have a baby then!
The friends burst out, Micaela heard the sound of a car downstairs and was glad Carlos was back:
-Friends, we’ll see each other again tomorrow.
They had been told earlier that they could not stay online for long, as the international network was hacked so as not to be discovered.
They were all a little dismayed at the same time.
-I just woke up and I’m about to say good night to you.
-When you own a city, you don’t need to hack into people’s networks, so everyone can talk from morning to night.
-And, in two months, we can hold our own baby in our arms and go out for a chat!
-Wow, when Micaela appears on Teladia, it’s going to be news again, isn’t it?
Even after we said we would see each other again tomorrow and one person said goodbye, there was a delay of a few minutes and Carlos pushed open the door and went inside.
The first thing he did when he got back was to go upstairs to see the girl.
Just so you know she must be in the studio recording her friends.
-Carlos, you’re back!
Micaela finally hangs up the video, gets up cheerfully and walks towards him, unconsciously goes to his arms, but Carlos frowns slightly, crosses towards her, walks to the window, draws the curtains and, indeed, one of the windows is open, the curtains drawn and the cold is even worse….
He immediately closed the glass window, before drawing the curtains, turned around, reached out and took the woman in front of him in his arms, his large hands ran down her back, feeling if she would be cold, not a hint of accusation in his low voice.
-I wonder if she left the window open? Is it cold? Don’t catch a cold….
Micaela’s heart shrank and she reached out to hug him too. She had deliberately opened the window just to hear the commotion downstairs.
When I woke up from my nap, Carlos was gone, so I kept thinking about him, called him and got even more nervous when I found out he had gone to Pesla City to look for Nilson….
-It’s not cold, I have the heater on, Carlos, have you eaten yet?
-Well, it’s with Nilson.
Micaela was a little surprised that they were already friends enough to eat at the same table?
Carlos hugged her tightly, smelling her fragrance and whispering in her ear:
-Micaela, you’re wearing extra perfume.
-What?
Micaela is a bit disconcerted, she has taken a shower….
Carlos’ voice was a few shades darker, his thin lips licking her earlobe.
-Mike must have smelled you and known there was food, that’s why he stopped crying every time he put himself in your arms…..
Micaela reacted to the fragrance he was talking about and, embarrassed, tried to push him away, but Carlos hugged her tighter.
-Good girl, let me hug you, it’s been half a day since I’ve seen you.
Micaela stopped and stayed in his arms, his small arms encircled her back once again….
She misses him too when she doesn’t see him for half a day….
After holding her for a while, Carlos let go of her, pushing the stroller with one hand and grabbing her by the shoulders with the other as he headed for the door, asking:
-Is Mike behaving well?
Micaela gave him a somewhat exasperated look.
-I behaved very well, I ate and slept, Sara watched over me, she did everything but feed me and hug me, she wouldn’t even let me go downstairs, she said I couldn’t use the stairs for the month.
Carlos nodded, more than satisfied with the nanny, whom he had hired in the first place, and said:
-Everything revolves around the wife and children.
She seems to have understood perfectly.
Micaela pushed open the bedroom door, turned on the light and asked curiously:
-Carlos, what did you talk about with Nilson when you were in Ciudad Pesla for so long? To plan together more programs to revitalize the new economy of Ciudad Echave?
Carlos pushed the stroller straight to the couch and sat down. Micaela closed the door and followed him, and was immediately drawn into his arms and sat down.
-No, it was a discussion about how to break Salamonsa’s ‘curse’.
