As they curled up in pairs and slept, a man stood in front of the king-size bed in the room, staring at the bed….
Taking up half of a six-foot bed, there are little pink dresses, little jackets, fluffy knitwear, soft, cute jeans and a gift box with all kinds of pretty headbands, hair cards, kittens, little hearts and bows….
He never knew that one day, like a shopaholic, he would buy all these things until he became an addict and still feel he hadn’t bought enough….
Yes, it was none other than Nilson, who thought he wasn’t crazy….
After Leila left that day, he went on a business trip to the neighboring city, not to avoid her, but to clear his mind of the confusing thoughts in his head.
As a result, instead of clearing the thoughts, they became more and more confused….
This afternoon, while inspecting the mall on behalf of the company, I walked past an upscale decorated family mall store and, after taking a peek, I couldn’t go….
Once inside, I couldn’t wait to get everything back into the store!
It literally took all my strength to control myself and pick out just these things….
Oh no, and some in the car, bought a bunch of diapers, the mom and pop store clerk said the poor quality diapers would make the baby O-legs if she used them, scared into buying a dozen packs of the brand she recommended….
She wants to give them all to Estela….
But the thought of the pile of money Lluvia had sent made Nilson’s teeth itch a little….
That wretch!
If you want to take Estela under your wing, you have to take care of that woman!
He thought about it, sat down on the other end of the bed and pulled out his cell phone to make a call.
The bedroom of Joe’s house, just a few miles away from him.
Ian has just finished his shower, in his gray pajamas, towel in hand to dry his hair and get ready for bed, with the Lord on his mind today at Mom and Dad’s store, going shopping….
The owner of the city is going to be a father, if he has a daughter, she’s sure to be a slave daughter….
No, she already is…
A pause to rub her hair and mixed emotions…
The cell phone on the bedside table rang and he reached for it, looked at the words “Sir” on it and immediately picked up the phone.
-Sir.
Nilson’s icy voice came out:
-How are you doing with what you were asked to investigate?
Ian’s grip on the towel tightened…..
-I’m sorry, Sir, still no progress….
A slightly annoyed sigh was heard from the other end and Ian could imagine that the Lord must have reached up and ruffled his hair….
Halfway through, Ian took the initiative and asked:
-Sir, what is Miss Rain thinking about is not related to you, and with your attitude, Miss Rain will not be amused to learn of this move…..
Nilson, however, suddenly interrupted his words:
-Ian, what would be the reason for a woman to reject such a perfect man who would do her no harm?
Ian almost vomited blood when he heard this question….
Who is this childish person?
Where is the wise and prudent Lord?
Is he going to say later…
Nilson’s voice came out pretentious.
-Don’t get carried away, it’s not me I’m talking about, I’m just asking!
Ah…
You’re really saying that…
It’s a very obvious way of hiding your virtue.
You really know the Lord well…
A series of insights that left Ian increasingly breathless….
Of course, he couldn’t bring himself to say it, dropped the towel and sat on the edge of the bed, frowning thoughtfully.
-Er, perhaps, the woman’s heart is in the right place?
There was silence on the other end of the phone….
Ian’s heart raced and he dared not breathe as the Lord’s face, absorbed in thought, appeared in his mind….
In fact, he was surprised how Lluvia could refuse the Lord’s kindness, who is indeed quite good, has no bad habits, is not a man of good looks and abilities, is emotionally devoted, fell in love with Miss Moya when she was a teenager, and has been in love for so long without being reciprocated….
He’s not bragging, if the Lord twists his finger, the women he wants to give him can be lined up from Pesla City to Dragon City!
And it’s clear that Doctor Rain doesn’t hate the Lord, even….
Ian’s hand on his knee clenched into a fist, and without further thought, his mind suddenly recalled what Doctor Rain had said to Lord that time, outside the hotel room, in person:
-You can’t have Moya, so you don’t have any illusions about love anymore, right? But I’m sorry, I do!
I’m going to take Estela and marry a man I love and who loves me, just like Carlos was looking at Moya, and you? You’re not!
Ian sucked in a breath of cold air, so, so she had made it so clear and understandable that the Lord was the one with the authority and he hadn’t grasped the crux….
No wonder Lord has zero experience in relationships, not to mention he doesn’t even have a single friend of the opposite sex, only co-workers, and all his female admirers have been “frozen out”, oh no, it’s a case of him ignoring nothing and giving up, even though Sonia has liked Lord for so many years, she dares not approach him easily…!….
Only Leila is the woman he has approached the most over the years, but maybe the Lord doesn’t see her as a woman at all….
-No! -No way. I’m sure she wouldn’t have the guts to do that, even if she had the heart, she’s Moya’s friend, how could she…..
Nilson’s voice came through the phone and Ian was taken aback, having no idea what the Lord was talking about, with a firm tone at first, followed by a few moments of hesitation….
-Ian, what else could it be?
Nilson continued the question.
Ian, who had always been subordinate to Nilson, immediately reflected on the matter and came to another conclusion:
-Then it must be that woman who means nothing to this perfect man!
Nilson on the other end of the phone was silent….
He doesn’t want Lluvia to be interested in him, he loves Moya in his heart, he only wants Estela, even if Estela doesn’t solve his current urgent need for an heir….
It was someone else after Moya that occupied his sight, occupied his heart and made him think of her from time to time as a demon….
But still, Ian’s response gave her a little twinge of irritation.
How could he be so unattractive to her?
Half-heartedly, she concludes into the phone:
-What a shitty answer! I must be crazy to ask that question to someone who has zero relationship experience!
He spoke as if he wasn’t the one with zero relationship experience and then just hung up the phone!
Nilson gets up, turns around and drops his phone on the bed.
He must have asked the wrong person.
So what if the woman meant nothing to him, he didn’t care!
He’s got eyes in the back of his head, he’s not even a man of quality!
I’ll die alone for the rest of my life!
He didn’t want to know why on earth Rain couldn’t see him anymore, he just needed to know what to do next that would get him where he wanted to be!
But Nilson still felt suffocated, looking at the pile of clothes on the bed, and his mind went back to the paper when Lluvia had given him the money:
Please don’t do such things in the future, pay back this money let me shed my family, please don’t let our mother and daughter drink the northwest wind….
Get rid of your family and drink the northwest?
Will the child have no formula to eat and no diapers to wear?
The thought sent a shiver down her spine – why hadn’t it occurred to her before?
Immediately, she picked up the phone again and called Ian, and when it was picked up, she gave a blunt explanation:
-Get Rain’s details to me as fast as you can, the more detailed the better, then call his account at…. immediately.
Nilson paused and frowned a little, if he gave it to her, she would again refuse him properly!
The conversation turned and he commanded:
-Deal with Rain’s hospital right away and give him a big bonus!
