Half an hour later, the two of them got into the car together and left for the hotel Mrs. Echave had said they were going to.
Carlos had finished his task of reviving the economy of Ciudad Echave and was free to go to the office, he arranged for Diego to deliver the job to her and did a little follow-up.
He held the steering wheel with one hand and Micaela’s hand with the other. Seeing how quiet the girl had become, and looking at her to see that she was frowning and looking worried, Carlos let out a light laugh, his muzzle full of laughter.
-Dear, you don’t have to worry about anything, Mr. Nicolas won’t do anything to us, leave everything to me, you just have to wait to be my girlfriend. Micaela’s cheeks slightly reddened….
She wondered if Nicolas would be looking for Carlos and if he would have another purpose….
The woman, a little embarrassed to ask, asked
-Are you putting a bug in my head? Do you know everything I think?
Carlos smiled even more smugly.
-I also know you’re wondering when you’re going to show up at the Echave City Council House. Micaela was even more surprised when Carlos explained it to her.
-I’ll be with you after our wedding to get used to it, no need to think about that now, huh? The council tube is the place where the lord of the city has his office, and every city has one of these places.
Yerma called him first thing in the morning and told him that Moya was home for a few more days and that she would continue as acting mayor for a few more days.
After the wedding…
Micaela chews on these two words, marriage means separation….
She nodded vigorously so that her sadness would not show…
Waiting for the red light, the car stopped and Carlos looked and said suddenly:
-Girl, today I talked to our mother about the wedding. Micaela was startled, yes oh, she had not talked to her mother about this, she bit her lip, obviously it was the nail in the coffin, but there was still the slightest hint of nervousness left and asked:
-My mother, what did she say, did she give you a hard time?
The smile on Carlos’ lips intensified.
-There, she said, let you go back to Villa Echave to live, you must marry from Villa Echave. She also said that it is the custom around here that the double release are not allowed to see each other half a month before the wedding and that I should send you and Mike back today?
-No! I don’t want to, I want to be with you!
Micaela squeezed Carlos’ hand tightly and said it without hesitation, decisively and quite loudly.
Her reaction, to Carlos’ satisfaction, she brought his hand to her lips and kissed the back of it, her eyes full of love.
-Well, I told him that Micaela couldn’t be a minute without me and that I couldn’t send her back today, the day before the wedding. Micaela now completely blushing looked away without daring to look at the love in his deep eyes…..
Carlos looked at her flushed face and felt more and more tempted to come closer, but bound and tied, the girl leaned back in her seat.
-Micaela, come here a little….
The woman blushed even more instantly, naturally she knew what was in her mind….
Before the thought of resistance could arise in her head, or maybe there was no thought of resistance in the first place, she didn’t want to refuse, straightening up and moving slightly closer, Carlos kissed her on the lips, still holding the steering wheel with one hand and holding her hand with the other….
The traffic light is green, the car in front starts to move forward, Carlos here doesn’t move….
Only when the car behind honked the horn with impatience and fury, Carlos let go of the woman and saw how the girl slowly opened her eyes, dense with warm love, which made him peck her lips twice more uncontrollably before releasing the brakes to follow the traffic….
Micaela timidly pulls out her phone to distract herself, she turns on the screen and sees the push news on her desk, her heart instantly racing.
-Husband of the Lord of the City of Echave, identity revealed in a blaze of glory!
-Carlos is actually the Obregon family of Dragon City! -Carlos’ father was Nicolas, Lord of Dragon City!
-The next owner of Ciudad de los Dragones, a mystery?
Micaela’s heart hung in the air as she quickly opened one of them and leafed through it, seeing that the accompanying photos had been taken yesterday afternoon in the hospital corridor, a little far away, but clear enough to show Nicolas, Carlos and herself in his arms. No one can doubt that they are not father and son….
-Carlos, what to do, you’re on the edge….
Micaela anxiously grabbed his hand in return, not daring to pass him the phone because he was driving, Carlos looked at her and his lips curved.
-Girl, it’s us who are on the tightrope.
