Nicolas takes a deep breath and looks at Evangelina.
-Evangelina, you disappoint me, you know how Patricia was, why insult her when she is dead, and, Carlos is my son, even though he did not grow up with me, you insult me by insulting him. Evangelina looked into Nicolas’ cold eyes, stunned by the surprise that Carlos was not dead, and suddenly burst into tears and laughter.
-Nicolas, how can you do this to us, mother and son, when we are the ones with you, not that woman who no longer exists, and when Efraim is still in bed after his operation, how many times have you looked at him? How do you make Efraim and me feel when you are here when they wouldn’t even let you in the door? His heart was swollen from 30 years of grievance, anger, resentment?
Have you been watching this?
Carlos and Micaela were a little surprised….
Nicolas sniffed, but suddenly remembered something or other, and instead of the small reaction of regret that Evangelina wanted, he stepped forward, wrapped his arms around her neck and forced her back, pinning her against the opposite wall!
-Evangelina, don’t tell me you don’t know what Efraim has done! Why did they shoot him? How is it possible that Mr. Nilson and my aunt could not contact me without you being behind the scenes, taking the phone from me, and how is it possible that Mr. Nilson’s men were trapped at the bottom of Bamboo Mountain, unable to come up to help, leaving Carlos almost dead? What did Carlos do to Efraim to be treated like that? And what did he teach his children? Did he help him kill Carlos? Evangelina, good for you!
Nicolas’ words were word for word, full of anger, and the force of his hands was so strong that Evangelina’s face instantly turned red and she could not say a word….
Micaela could not help feeling a little nervous at seeing him move and looked at Carlos, seeing the slightest hint of movement in his face….
Mrs. Echave, anxious, stepped forward and reached out her hand to snatch it from Nicolas.
-Nicolas, calm down, look what you look like!
Although this is a VIP pavilion and is not as crowded as the normal pavilions, the commotion has caused the families staying here to poke their heads out, and the owners of Ciudad de los Dragones who don’t know it, speak in hushed tones….
Dona Echave’s words made Nicolas withdraw the slightest hint of sanity and he finally let her go, Evangelina immediately crouched down, covering her chest and coughing dryly, her eyes full of tears and resignation.
The family scandal was not to be revealed, and Mrs. Echave, looking around at the growing number of people talking, looked at Nicolas and said in a commanding tone:
-Nicolas, go back to see Efraim. Nicolas exhaled and turned to look at Carlos, apologies welling up in his eyes.
-Carlos, I will give you justice for this matter of Efraim hurting you…..
Carlos tightened his arms around the girl, looked at her and asked the question that mattered most to him:
-At that time, did you force yourself on my mother?
Nicolas shook his head, a touch of tenderness arose in his eyes, and his mind returned to the memory of the person, before he said for a long time:
-No, Patricia and I, we are two lovers. Yerma’s eyes snapped open, in her mind were still fresh the distant memories of Patricia and Nicolas facing each other when they met, how, how could it be that she was in love with him?
But Nicolas’s face doesn’t look fake…
Carlos looked at Nicolas, and Nicolas looked at Carlos without flinching, his eyes full of frankness and his mouth full of a little depth of affection and embarrassment.
-As you remember it, your mother was gentle, generous and sensible, she did not seduce me, I bothered her… it was me, I’m sorry?
Apparently also thinking about Evangelina’s state of mind, Nicolas did not continue, but the remorse on his face remained undisguised….
Carlos looked away, not asking any more questions, not being able to ask any more questions in this situation, and swept the girl away and turned back towards the living room.
He found it easier to accept the idea of “two lovers” than that his mother had been forced, and as for the woman’s statement….
Nicolas looks at Carlos’ back and then looks at Mrs. Echave.
-Aunt…
He had already told her what happened then, and she would explain it to Carlos, wouldn’t she?
Mrs. Echave understands what he means and nods.
-I know, I’ll talk to Carlos….
Micaela was still mentally remembering that Evangelina had not apologized to Gu Mo, but then she stopped suddenly and her heart skipped a beat because of her grandmother’s conversation with Nicolas….
What did Nicolas call the grandmother?
Aunt?
Grandma is Nicolas’ aunt?
So, wouldn’t one be related to Carlos too?
