He… he didn’t reply, and there was a slight smile at the corner of his mouth? wasn’t that an attitude of acquiescence?
Nicolas was immediately overwhelmed and filled with joy, saying good night to her several times before leaving with Evangelina….
Carlos took Mike inside, closed the door, put his son to bed and turned around, his eyes resting on the bouquet of lilies on the small table….
Micaela hung her purse on the coat rack and unconsciously followed Carlos’ line of sight.
Carlos is allergic to perfume….
Micaela hurried to pull out the flowers, the closer she got, the stronger the scent of flowers, but she wasn’t sure if there was perfume….
Carlos knew what the girl had thought and followed her, taking her hand.
-Girl, it’s okay, it’s the normal smell of flowers.
Micaela looked at Carlos again, a little uneasy.
-Really? You can’t smell it? Efraim and Caesar might want to turn against us, it’s up here….
Seeing her anxious look, a wave of satisfaction rose in Carlos’ heart and, with a push, he wrapped her in his arms and hugged her.
-Little idiot, they don’t know I’m allergic to perfume.
Micaela froze for a second…..
Yes oh, she was confused, not many people knew about Carlos’ allergy to perfume, let alone Salamonsa’s….
Half-heartedly, still somewhat puzzled, she looked at him and asked:
-But the way you looked at the flower a moment ago, it was clearly different?
Carlos rubbed his head, his heart was soft….
The girl was really his nemesis, with a look she knew everything and explained it to him softly:
-Well, just now I was wondering if the flowers would have Natalia’s special fragrance.
Micaela’s eyes snapped open.
If Efraim and Cesar are in cahoots with Natalia, this move is entirely possible!
She broke away from him hastily to go throw the flower again, thought of something, and stopped fiercely, with a few moments of horror in her eyes….
-Carlos, do you suspect that Natalia has come to Salamonsa?
And then immediately had to go and push Carlos out of the way and go to leave the flowers….
It is abominable!
After several delusions of hypnosis Carlos had not even returned to settle accounts with her and she was still chasing Salamonsa!
Carlos pulled the man back with a firm grip, the light in his eyes flickered, replaced by the familiar intensity of Micaela’s love….
-No, you fool, she came to Salamonsa, how could Nilson not know about it? Don’t forget that one of her rights is to control the entry and exit of foreign populations, and I’ve smelled several times the incense she developed, and I’m impressed, I’m sure, it’s not in this flower.
The seriousness written in Carlos’ deep eyes made Micaela’s hanging heart drop little by little…..
-Yes oh, Nilson would have talked to us if he had seen Natalia’s check-in log….
Besides, it’s not like she doesn’t know how strict the controls are for entering and leaving Salamonsa, she should be more than worried….
Micaela exhaled a sigh and looked at Carlos.
-With the wedding date around the corner, I just want my wedding with you to end successfully….
Carlos kissed her on the forehead, with a tone full of discretion.
-I will.
Micaela looked at the bouquet, felt some shadows and decided to go hide it in the closet!
But she couldn’t take a step, because she was hugging Carlos, and at the moment she was about to push him away, she was hugged a little tighter by him….
Micaela was a little speechless.
-Carlos, let go….
It’s almost as if he wanted to stick to her at the slightest opportunity and wrap her in his arms….
Carlos tightened his arms more and more and pressed his forehead against hers.
-I won’t let go, I want to stick to you twenty four hours a day….
he said, about to kiss her on the lips….
-What…?
Mike suddenly burst into tears and Micaela, startled, managed to push Carlos away this time and moved anxiously towards the bed.
-Mike is crying…
Carlos looked at the empty arms and thought that if the girl was summoned by Mike like that on their wedding night, he would probably go crazy and would have to find a way….
Her eyes moved to the bouquet of flowers and Carlos’ brow furrowed again, taking advantage of the girl feeding Mike, he grabbed his phone and walked over to the floor to ceiling window with a small balcony beyond the glass door, pushed it and went outside to call….
…
In the study of the Borranio family’s villa at that moment, Nilson is thinking hard with his chin in his hand….
Moving Lluvia to Pesla City was easy, but how to get the mother and daughter to live at home?
The cell phone on her desk rings and she picks it up: it’s her mother.
Before she could speak, her mother’s exasperated voice was heard:
-Nilson, what’s wrong with you! Why didn’t you tell mom about something so big! Leila is such a good girl and she gave you her innocence, how could you not be responsible!
Nilson frowned.
Only he, Ian and Leila know about this?
Nilson’s mother burst out like a firecracker:
-Nilson, Mom knows you can’t let Moya go yet, but Moya already has a man she likes, the baby is born, you don’t stand a chance, you should set your eyes on other women, like Leila….
-Mom, I’m not going to marry….
-Who else would you marry if not her? What other woman could marry you and accept that you love another woman in your heart? Leila is so sensitive, she loves you so much, she doesn’t care about anything, and she saved your life with her innocence, she is already yours, and you are so desperate that you want to throw her out of the company and deny her access to your villa there?
His mother’s comments confirmed his suspicions, and his heart rose with a smoky fury, his hand on the table unconsciously clenched into a fist, his voice cold and hard.
-Mom, I tell you again, I will not marry her, I would do her a disservice by marrying her, Leila is still young enough to go and choose a man who will love her for that night, and I can give her any compensation she wants, let alone marry her!
In the past, when he had spoken thus forcefully, his mother would have compromised, or would not have pressed him again to marry, since he had settled it once and for all.
But this time, however, the mother screamed in hysterical rage:
-Nilson! Instead of marrying Leila, you are going to marry that wild-seeded woman! I forbid you! Not even your father, who has been dead for ten years!
Wild seed…
These two words set Nilson on fire and he immediately stood up, about to slap the table, his voice as cold and stern as ever:
-I forbid you to say that about Estela!
Nilson’s mother, on the other end of the line, seemed stunned by the sound of his voice for a moment before muttering in disbelief:
-Nilson, are you crazy? You can have a child with Leila, that woman I’ve asked around, her private life is absolutely chaotic, otherwise she wouldn’t even know who the child’s father is, and, don’t forget who you are, you marry a woman like that?
-Heh… -Nilson sputtered, interrupting his mother’s words.
-Don’t think about it too much, I’m worthless, she doesn’t see it in her eyes, I begged her to marry me and she still wouldn’t!
What…
Nilson’s mother froze for a second and then, with a slight detour to protect her son, said in an exasperated voice:
-That woman has eyes in the back of her head? How can she not see you? Who is she to say she doesn’t believe you? She has gold in her…
It was only after a good while that he realized he had strayed from the subject, as if he couldn’t wait for the woman to read his excellent son, and immediately changed his tone: -I’m sorry:
-That, Nilson, don’t see him forget it, we….
-Mom, I’m telling you again, no matter what Leila says around you, my decision will not change.
Then he hung up right away and immediately dialed Leila.
It was a while before the phone was picked up and Leila’s shy voice was heard:
-Hello, Nilson….
-Leila, did you go to see Lluvia?
