A week after Carlos and Micaela returned to Teladia, Alba welcomed her sister-in-law.
That’s right, Carlos hit the nail on the head and Mateo, the man who has been an uncle twice, finally became a groom.
The wedding was held in a hurry, but the face, should not be all, the bride is very beautiful, according to Mateo said, is his first love, high school classmates, back and forth finally come true!
Alba and Ernesto are delighted that Carlos has finally married, with the woman he loves, and he will no longer be alone, but will have a woman who loves him, who will take care of him, who will give him children, and who will make the family live…..
A Chinese wedding with a wedding banquet of five dozen tables, Carlos, Micaela, Ernesto, Ernesto, Tomas, Bianca, Leonardo, Olivia, Antonio, Katarina seated at a table, and oh, one more, Marcos.
He watched Mateo’s happy face as he led his bride to the toast, and remembered his own wedding, a very unpleasant one….
Antonio asked Marcos next to him as he served Katarina’s food.
-Marcos, any regrets?
Marcos smiled.
-There is nothing to regret. That woman went dry and didn’t show up again for more than half a year, and it saved me the effort of forcing her to divorce.
Antonio but smiled, clearly he had said nothing about regretting anything and yet Marcos was the first one to think of her?
Katarina asked.
-Marcos, since the divorce is over, isn’t it time to look for another one, the girl you brought from that meeting didn’t seem quite right?
-Thanks for your concern, I have no thoughts of remarrying at the moment, and as for the girl, I brought her home only so Adriana would give up and initiate the divorce alone….
Adriana saw him take the girl home and actually had the good sense to leave, and he never contacted the girl again….
Eight months had passed since the incident, and he had gone from once feeling relieved to have finally let the wicked woman go, to gradually feeling a little overwhelmed…..
It must be from living together for three years?
Marcos attributed this uneasiness…
In their conversation, which everyone heard clearly, Micaela remembered Adriana’s belly, eight months pregnant, and felt more and more sympathy for her….
Alba took a sip of soup, put down the spoon and looked at Marcos with indifference:
-Hey Marcos, let me tell you a story…..
After opening his mouth, Ernesto opened it in a matter of seconds and immediately resumed the conversation:
-I have a brother who has been harassed by a woman for four or five years now, I think, and he refuses to admit that he likes her…..
Then, purposely stopping his mouth, Tomas knew who had said it and continued:
-Then the woman felt discouraged and desisted of her own free will.
Leonardo said immediately:
-That brother of ours boasted that ‘he who goes backwards is a dog!’
Marcos became interested and watched them while you and I were talking and unconsciously asked:
-And then what?
Olivia put a hand around Leonardo’s neighbor and smiled:
-And then he went, ‘Woof woof woof woof’?
The table was amused.
Marcos smiled back and said.
-That means the woman is worth chasing him backwards.
Bianca asked, looking over there:
-And you?
What…
Marcos froze for a second, reacting to the fact that what they were trying to say was that he and Adriana?
Katarina intoned:
-Marcos, there’s nothing better than learning from mistakes, and besides, do you really not understand anything about how she feels about you?
Alba summarized:
-Everyone here can’t say how much they like Adriana, but after so many years, we can see her heart for you clearly, haven’t you noticed that she’s been creeping around in the modeling circle and the entertainment circle for so many years, and she’s never had a scandal with anyone of the opposite sex?
Marcos’ hand under the table tensed involuntarily….
Carlos peeled shrimp for the girl next to him without looking up for a moment, and said faintly:
-I met her with Micaela and she looked like she was 7 or 8 months pregnant?
Pregnant?
Seven or eight months?
The brothers understood each other and Ernesto answered immediately.
-She’s getting married soon too, isn’t she?
Tomas frowned deliberately and became serious:
-I wonder if that groom is the ‘baby daddy’!
Leonardo said with a big smile, looking at Marcos:
-Wouldn’t this be… in case the child called someone else’s father?
Marcos’ face hardened and he stood up abruptly, grabbing his suit jacket from the back of the chair.
-I’m going to get it…
Then he stepped away from the stool and turned to look at him again.
-Mr. Carlos, where did you meet her?
Carlos took out a handkerchief to wipe his hands, his movements unspeakably elegant and reserved, and told him where he was meeting Adriana, and Marcos immediately strutted towards the exit of the auditorium.
Ernesto looked at Antonio with a face of impotence.
-Hey Antonio look, we’re really worried about this brother of yours!
Antonio smiles.
-I’ll take them out to dinner sometime.
Micaela returned from Marina Bay and told her little sisters about her encounter with Adriana. Time is really the best medicine, what she did was so long ago, that the feeling of hating her is not so strong, as women, and as mothers, hearing about her current situation, we all can’t help but feel a little moved?
Bianca asked with a smile:
-Alba, you are the most cynical of all, how could you forgive that ‘scumbag couple’?
Alba shrugged her shoulders.
-You also said ‘scum man and woman’, it’s fair to make a couple, so don’t take the trouble from others. Besides, we’ve forgiven Natalia, what’s an Adriana? It’s good to reform.
Her words were met with approval, and there was an immediate discussion about Natalia calling back and apologizing to everyone one by one in the first place….
Micaela stayed out of the conversation, leaning close to Carlos and whispering:
-Carlos, Adriana clearly did not say she was getting married…..
Carlos came closer too, his head touched hers, kissing her like no one else, a serious endorsement:
-Well, fortunately it wasn’t me who said that…
