Arrived?
So fast?
Rain hurried to look out the car window, it was an unfamiliar place, the car was parked in a yard and she didn’t feel like looking closely, she turned to Nilson and said with some urgency.
-I told you, I don’t want to come, why didn’t you let me out earlier! Nilson frowned, even though she had just replied that she wasn’t coming back to be with her husband, maybe something else was going on, and it really wasn’t right that he had brought her here by force, bargaining so to speak:
-So, shall I have the driver take you back then?
Rain sighed and looked at him blankly.
Moya would be pissed if she knew he wasn’t coming in when he got to her door, and besides, she lied to him herself….
She spoke uncharitably:
-Forget it, it’s all here. Moya will be very happy to see it….
Nilson turned to pick up the umbrella behind him and said politely:
-Get ready.
Nilson finished, pushed open the car door, opened the umbrella and got out, closing the door.
Estela also happened to be full of drink, the dream of the afternoon, this will not be the dream, began to smile at Mom, Rain, but want to cry, long time, reassure themselves, will not be found by him, no….
Gathering his clothes, he was about to open the car door when there was a knock on the door, followed by Nilson’s voice:
-Are you ready?
Rain raises an eyebrow, Mr. Nilson is quite the gentleman….
He opened the door of his own accord and the umbrella came immediately.
Rain got out of the car with Estela in his arms, Nilson holding the umbrella by his side, he closed the car door and the two walked towards the villa, the night was still raining, but it didn’t affect him at all to see the outside of the house, the lawn was surrounded by colored lights, which were also turned on at that moment, decorating the luxurious villa in front of him, giving it an increasingly golden flavor, and he couldn’t help but sigh:
-I remember when Moya didn’t live in Villa Echave, she lived in a condominium, I didn’t realize there was such a great asset …
Nilson kept the proper distance without touching Lluvia and was worried about getting the baby wet, so he had to try to cover her side with the umbrella ….
The first time he came here was when he had to take Moya, and also then he was shocked by the villa in front of him.
It is very well located and quiet in the middle of the city. The villas here were built for five years and were not sold because the price was too high. Carlos bought the villa the day after he came here, and was in shock and disbelief….
Although neither Mr. nor Mrs. Carlos returned last night, the maids prepared the dishes as instructed.
Micaela and Carlos go downstairs.
As soon as she returned, Carlos took her upstairs to wash her hair and shower, put on her robe and dry her hair before going downstairs. She looked around the living room, where the only people were the shuttle maids and Mrs. Echave and Yerma, who were sitting on the couch hugging Mike.
-Why aren’t Lluvia and Nilson here yet?
Micaela muttered and sent a message to Lluvia before leaving the hospital, telling her to be sure to come for dinner tonight and also sending her the address….
Micaela pulled out her phone and saw that Lluvia had responded to her message and rushed to tap on it to see….
-Girl, your best friend is here.
Carlos’ voice rang out, a hand around her shoulders as he led her towards the front door.
Micaela was looking at the messages on her phone, not paying attention to what Carlos was saying, and was a little lost in thought when he said:
-Luvia says she’s not available, Estela….
Carlos came over and gave her a kiss on the cheek.
-Micaela unconsciously looked toward the grass walkway outside the door, the lights outside were on and it was clear to see the tall Nilson holding a black umbrella and next to him walked Lluvia with the baby in her arms!
Nilson held the umbrella above Lluvia’s head, with half of his own shoulders out, he didn’t care, his eyes still rested on the child in Lluvia’s arms, and only when he got closer did he hear Estela actually laugh….
Why is this image so touching?
Carlos raised an eyebrow at the scene and asked quietly to the person in his arms:
-Mr. Nilson wonders if there is any intention of being a -stepfather-.
Huh?
Micaela was a little shocked that Nilson had led Lluvia under the eaves and up the steps. Lluvia looked up, saw Micaela waiting by the door and immediately broke into a smile.
-Moya, are you surprised to see us, mother and daughter? Surprised?
Micaela’s eyes fell instead on Estela, who was in her arms, welcoming her.
-Rain, how is Estela? Still feverish?
Says the hand on Estela’s forehead, the temperature seems normal?
Uh…
A flash of embarrassment crosses Rain’s face….
That was an excuse for her to refuse to come….
Nilson also reacted and gave the umbrella to the maid while looking at the child in Lluvia’s arms, where was the fever?
-Haha, Moya I lied to you, just to surprise you!
Lluvia rounded it off with ease.
Yerma approached and greeted:
-Dr. Lluvia, Nilson, you’re finally here, come in and sit down. The group sat down on the living room sofa, Lluvia sat next to Mrs. Echave and greeted Mike, who was awake in her arms:
-Hello, son-in-law, happy full moon! Your mother-in-law and I have prepared a gift set for you!
She was about to take off her backpack, but with Estela in her hands, Yerma was getting up to say I’ll take it when Nilson, who was about to sit on the single sofa, stepped forward first.
-I’ll hold him. Then, in an unnatural move, he picked up Estela….
Micaela, who was sitting on the other side of Dona Echave, watched his actions and the words Carlos had just said flashed through her mind:
-Mr. Nilson wonders if there is any intention of being a ‘stepfather’.
What happened next was more of a shock to everyone….
When it was time to eat, he sat down next to Lluvia and offered to carry Estela so that Lluvia could eat first, evidently there was a cot at home, a maid, and even Yerma could have taken over and carried her….
Lluvia resisted a bit and politely refused, even so he insisted on carrying her, Estela was actually delighted and didn’t know how well she behaved while being carried….
After dinner, Carlos and Nilson went to the study to talk about things, and Carlos, in a rare nosy moment, asked about things other than business.
-Interested in that mother and her daughter?
While at the hospital, Carlos did see Nilson at the door, must have heard him and assumed, as did the girl, that something had probably happened to Dr. Rain’s husband….
Nilson has been coming to this study a lot in the last month and, familiar with the place, he sat down in the reclining chair in front of his desk, smiled and answered directly:
-No, just quite interested in the boy.
Carlos, somewhat surprised, sat down across from him.
Nilson bent his legs and talked to Carlos about the Elders’ call to marriage.
Carlos reacted, rightly said this afternoon, after arranging….
-I can’t say I’m very attached to the position of City Lord, but the only way to continue with our plans is to hold that position, so I must marry and have children. After hugging Mike today, it suddenly dawned on me that, while I’m not interested in getting married, I am quite interested in having a child of my own.
