Dulcina Calvo just stared in amazement at the man in front of her until she opened her mouth to answer Esteban Zaragosa when the phone rang.
The caller ID showed that it was Mom.
She picked it up and could guess with her toes that her mother must have come to question her about a blind date with Guido Escobar.
“Dulcina Calvo, what did you do to people on a blind date? As soon as Guido Escobar came back, he told his aunt that you had a messed up life and that you were with a gangster! How dare you hit him?”
Dulcina Calvo frowned and bit her little lip as she said, “Obviously, he’s the one with the problem.”
“If he’s in trouble, you shouldn’t hit him!”
Naturally, Esteban Zaragosa heard the voice on the other end of the line, took the phone out of her hand and said to the interlocutor, “Tia, I called the man, it has nothing to do with Dulcina. ”
Mother Dulcina, on the other end of the line, froze: “Are you Lazarus?”.
But it wasn’t right, she had spoken to Lazarus on the phone only a few days earlier and Lazarus’ voice seemed a little different than this one.
What is the situation?
Dulcina Calvo sat up in bed, picked up the phone again and said on the other end of the line: “Mom, I’ll talk to you when I get back!
After saying this, he simply hung up the phone.
Dulcina Calvo stood up on the bed and looked at him with exasperation, “My business, none of your business.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her, “Do you have to talk to me like that?”.
What more needs to be said?
Now, they have broken up, haven’t they?
Dulcina Calvo swallowed hard and said, “I beg you, don’t come back to me in the future, I really don’t want to be a third party to break up people’s marriages.”
“What if I said that I would definitely divorce Claudio Belles, that it was just a matter of sooner rather than later?”
She doesn’t know, she really doesn’t know.
Esteban Zaragosa reached out and took the girl, who was standing on the bed, in his arms, sat her on his lap, touched the wound on the sole of her foot with his large hands and asked in a mute voice, “Does it hurt?”
Dulcina Calvo shakes her head.
Esteban Zaragosa kissed her forehead downward, his thin lips pressed against her delicate skin, and opened his voice warmly, “Give me a little more time, my dear, and I’ll be sure to break off this ridiculous relationship with Claudio Belles. ”
“If you didn’t love her, why did you marry her in the first place?”
Dulcina Calvo asked half-heartedly, now it always seemed to her that Esteban Zaragosa was a very bad man, how could a good man want to divorce his wife for an outside woman?
Moreover, according to Dulcina Calvo’s perception, good men never have affairs.
“My work is of a very specific nature and, believe it or not, I have to make it clear for myself. When I graduated with Claudio Belles, it was simply to avoid looks, from time to time I would do commissions with her, she was simply my co-worker and, in private, I treated her only as a sister.”
Dulcina Calvo was confused, “But he likes you, and what kind of a mission is that for you that requires pretending to be a couple?”
It’s not like the kids are playing house, and they still have to pretend to be a couple for the sake of the mission, so will they have to sleep together in the future for the sake of the mission?
She puffed up, pouted and curled her long eyelashes, and Esteban Zaragosa looked down, a soft smile in his eyes.
His girl, it seems, is jealous.
It was the first time Dulcina felt jealous of another woman in front of him.
Esteban Zaragosa’s heart was hard, but at this moment, he felt it had not been for nothing.
“If Claudio Belles comes to see you again, be sure to let me know.”
The girl’s white frown, still deeply furrowed, looked at him uncertainly and asked hesitantly, “Are you really just pretending to be husband and wife?”
“Yes, I’ve never thought about her.”
“But I still don’t believe it.” muttered Dulcina Calvo with a droopy little face.
Esteban Zaragosa, seeing her like this, actually thought it was cute and, for a moment, the desire grew even more.
But it was not appropriate for him to do so now, when he had not opened his heart to her.
