Carlos finally got a slight look of astonishment in his eyes….
-And you’re not sure, is there such a thing?
That’s a little ridiculous…
As far as Carlos knows about Nilson, such a devoted man, since he only has girls in his heart, he would never touch another woman, let alone the one he treats like a sister….
Nilson put the water down on the glass table and leaned his back against the back of the rattan armchair, with a slight note of helplessness in his tone:
-No, it really was that. To be precise, that happened eleven months ago. Ian told me it was her that night.
He paused for a few seconds, seeming to gather his thoughts, and spoke in a half-voice:
-A year ago, Gerardo was running amok in Pesla City, and I led my men to capture him….
What the drug is, Carlos understands naturally in seconds.
-The drug was fierce, Ian got a woman, I was beside myself, I didn’t even see who the woman was, when I woke up, the woman didn’t know if she had left on her own or if Ian had taken her out, I didn’t ask much, I just indicated to give the woman a sum of money, only to find out a few days ago that Ian had brought, it was actually Leila.
Carlos’s brow furrowed even more as he speculated:
-Did Leila ask for it?
Nilson nodded and sighed.
-That’s right, we were on a field trip, where conditions were very backward in every way, and time was of the essence, and Ian couldn’t find the right person for a while, and Leila, who was with us, went ahead and told Ian that she would never bother me? Originally, it didn’t matter who I married, but Leila, I just can’t do it…..
Nilson’s thoughts drifted a little, remembering Leila’s tearful words:
-Nilson, I know you only have Moya in your heart, I don’t care, you just need to get married and you need a son to succeed the Lord, I can help you, I volunteered, and since you are crossed to marry a woman you don’t love, I must be the best person for the job, I will never cause you trouble….
Nilson ruffled his hair, annoyed, and whispered:
-What doesn’t bother me, your decision, what you gave that night, is what bothers me. I’d rather marry another woman than ruin Leila’s life…..
Carlos was also silent, it was clear that Nilson only saw Leila as a sister and had no other emotions, but after a night like that and Leila opening up, he did have a hard time….
Nilson exhaled, feeling a little more relaxed about it all, and looked at Carlos, a bitter smile curving the corners of his lips.
-Carlos, I never dreamed that one day I would be discussing this with you.
He had his own circle, his brothers, but in front of them he had no idea what to say, in front of Carlos he said “How’s the wedding going?” and he said it all….
Carlos frowned slightly and said.
-I’m sorry, I can’t help you much.
As the words came out of his mouth, Carlos suddenly remembered the image of Nilson walking in from outside with an umbrella over the mother and daughter on Mike’s full moon day, and with a tentative thought, he said:
-By the way, what’s the name of that doctor’s daughter?
