Angelo Herrán’s face, too, slipped into the video.
“Hello, Tia Estrella, Paulita.”
Estrella Berrocal returned Ángelo Herrán’s greeting and smiled, “Hello Ángelo, Paulita, why do you ignore people Ángelo?”.
Paulita, determined to play with the train, had her eyes fixed on the little train in her arms and brought it close to Angelo Herrán. “Look, Angelo Herrán, this is the little train that daddy bought me!”.
Angelo Herrán said with special disdain: “A little train is nothing, my dad gave me a model car today!
“I only like little trains, I don’t like model cars!”. Paulita said with a little pout.
Angelo Herran proudly said, “I have a Transformer! I’m going to bring it to you!”.
Angelo Herrán ran to his room to get his toys.
Claudio Belles talks to Estrella Berrocal: “By the way, what’s your due date? When the baby is born, Montrelle and I will take Angelo to La Ciudad Santa to see you”.
“Felipa says it’s best not to wash your hair when you’re in labor, so I won’t be able to wash my hair for at least a month…”. If I’d had a C-section, I wouldn’t have been able to shower for the first ten days, I would have stunk.”
Claudio Belles joked: “It doesn’t matter that you stink, Adán Rouco doesn’t care, you can stink all you want”.
As soon as Claudio Belles said that, Estrella Berrocal’s deep voice came over the video call.
“What stinks or doesn’t stink?”. It was the voice of Adán Rouco.
Estrella Berrocal smiled and said to Adán Rouco with a crooked little face, “I said it would be summer and I wouldn’t be able to bathe for ten days and half a month and it would stink, so I was afraid you would hate it.”
Adán Rouco: “I don’t think you’d like not bathing for ten days and a half month, so we should sleep in separate beds.”
Estrella Berrocal: “…”
Adán Rouco: How could this guy do this! Where is the pampered bride-to-be! This is what I should say! A blatant disregard!
Estrella Berrocal spat, “A man’s mouth, a deceitful ghost…. Claudio, did you dislike Montrelle Herran for not washing your hair or showering while you were in labor?”
“No, Montrelle Herran washed my hair. He was so nasty, he kissed me several times on my fried hair that could be oiled with a shave. I couldn’t stand the urge to roll my eyes.”
Estrella Berrocal turned her head and glared at Adán Rouco, who had not entered the country. “Adán Rouco, look at Montrelle Herran!
Claudio Belles was listening to Adán Rouco and Estrella Berrocal’s brawl and was in a better mood when Ángelo Herran came running from the next room with his Transformer in his arms, holding him and showing him to Paulita on camera, “Ha, Paula! Look how handsome my Transformer is!”.
Paulita, a little girl who naturally didn’t like Transformers, pouted and said, “Hmph, my Barbie is the pretty one! I’ll get her and show her to you.”
Paulita ran off to get her toys too, and the two girls were comparing who had more toys and who had more fun!
After an hour of video, the two children had not finished comparing toys, so Claudio Belles pulled his son back, “Stop grabbing the toys, don’t you have something to say to Paulita?”
Angelo Herrán suddenly blushed: “Who said I have anything to say to Paula Rouco?”.
“Ah, then there’s nothing to say, so I’m hanging up now.”
“Easy, Mom!”
Angelo Herrán, anxious for a moment, blocked Claudio Belles’ hand to turn off the video and spoke hurriedly, “Paulita, from now on I’m going to study in La Capital Imperial and I can’t accompany you in La Ciudad Santa.”
Paulita blinked innocently and asked, “Aren’t you going back to La Ciudad Santa with Tío Montrelle and Tía Claudio?”
“Of course we can! But we won’t be able to see you every day like we used to.”
Paulita furrowed her little white eyebrow and said, “It’s okay, my daddy has money and I can fly to The Imperial Capital to play with you.”
Angelo Herrán’s little face filled with a sweet smile at those words.
Paulita still had it in mind!
Paulita added: “But Angelo Herrán, I can’t visit you very often because dad told me to study hard and not to play every day”.
Angelo Herrán nodded his little head, “Yes! We all have to study hard!”.
Angelo Herrán thought that, when he grew up, he would go to the Holy City and study with Paulita at the university!
Or maybe Paulita should come to the Imperial Capital to study at the university!
Angelo Herrán told her: “Paulita, take care of yourself when I am not with you, and if someone intimidates you, you must tell me!
Paulita didn’t think so, “I can tell my dad, my dad will teach them a lesson, it’s useless for me to tell you!”
Angelo Herran: “…”
Hearts were broken.
When the two children finished getting in touch, Claudio Belles tucked Angelo Herran into bed in the next room, while Montrelle Herran returned to the bedroom after attending to some business from the study.
He saw Claudio Belles, freshly showered, drying his hair and touching the small velvet box in his trouser pocket.
Montrelle Herran hugged her from behind, but Claudio Belles pushed him away with a slight frown, “Wow, it’s so hot, don’t hug, go take a shower, you’ve been tired all day, haven’t you?”.
“…”
Of course I’m not tired, I can still get some exercise!
But apparently, Claudio Belles had no such idea and Montrelle Herran was pushed into the bathroom by the little woman.
When Montrelle Herran came out of the shower, he was holding the velvet box and was about to fall asleep on the bed when Claudio Belles lifted his foot and placed it against his chest.
“Hey? What are you doing?” Claudius Belles stared at him with a defensive expression.
Montrelle Herran felt a bit aggrieved: “Honey, I’m going to bed”.
Claudius Belles curved his lips, “Tonight you will go to bed!”.
Montrelle Herran looked confused, his eyes looked at her accusingly, “Why?”
Had he done something wrong? How could he not remember?
Hadn’t it been good when they were eating?
What kind of creature was this woman, how could she change at the drop of a hat?
Claudius Belles looked at him with teary eyes, “Think about what you have done wrong.”
How dare you send Truth Jesus a diamond ring of that size? And what’s more, Montrelle Herran bought it for Verdad Jesus with the money he earned from his own work! That’s even more significant!
Claudio Belles had always felt a little uncomfortable, even though it was all in the past, but what woman could really let go of it?
It was not Montrelle Herran’s fault, but Claudio Belles was jealous.
“Mrs. Montrelle, say it clearly, you give no clue and I couldn’t think of any reason even if I thought of tomorrow morning.”
“Well then, I’m going to be frank, that diamond ring that Verdad Jesus is wearing on his hand, did you buy it for him?”.
Montrelle Herran’s eyes twitched, after all this, it was all about this …
“Is it or isn’t it?” Claudio Belles kicked him in the chest.
“Yes.”
Claudius Belles was also dry as a fiend, “All right, don’t talk to me from now on, get on the floor tonight.”
“…”
Is that all?
The old adage that only women and villains are hard to feed really doesn’t lie to me.
I should have known that a creature like a woman, who bleeds for seven days without dying, discharges a ball through the belly and recovers after a month in bed, how can she be a normal creature!
