The girl has her arms around Esteban Zaragosa’s neck, and as her legs wrap around his waist, the petite girl is half a head taller than the man.
The little girl’s soft white face crinkled slightly as she glared at him, “If you knew me so long ago, why didn’t you come to me sooner?”
If she had come to her years before, how could she have wasted those three years with Lazaro Morejon when he was such a handsome and dedicated man?
Dulcina Calvo remembers her former student self, who was really stupid.
Lazaro Morejon has never cared for her at all and many times she has fallen back on him, especially today, when what little good feeling she had left for Lazaro Morejon turned to disgust after he denigrated Esteban Zaragosa.
Esteban Zaragosa took her to sit at the kitchen table and rested his arms on both sides of her, “A long time ago, I thought of coming to see you early many times, but I have a special status and job, on the other hand, a few years ago you were too small and I was afraid of scaring you.”
Dulcina Calvo asked curiously, “But aren’t you afraid I’ll leave with someone else first?”
“Run with who, a bastard like Lazaro Morejon?”
The corner of Dulcina Calvo’s eye twitched: “What if?”.
“Then I will break your legs, lock you up and become the only person in your world until you fall in love with me.”
As the man joked earnestly, Dulcina Calvo’s ears reddened and her watery eyes sparkled with stars as she took the man’s handsome face between her two small hands, sat down at the kitchen table and kissed him on his thin lips.
“Esteban Zaragosa, thank you for loving me”.
Ten years, it must have been lonely.
Those moments when she didn’t know him, when he watched her in silence, must have been lonely.
Before she graduated from college, he had been planning how to enter her life in a way that seemed less abrupt and facilitated her acceptance.
It’s not that I didn’t think of the simple and brutal way.
Even if at first you resist it, complain about it or even hate it, sooner or later you will fall in love with it if you pamper it and love it well, but it is only a matter of time.
Esteban Zaragosa is confident, but not afraid to take the risk.
This method, the quickest way to get her, would hurt her, and he preferred to let her get used to it and trust it without delay.
…
After dinner, Dulcina Calvo lay in bed after the bath, counting on her fingers, her little face full of pride.
“Esteban Zaragosa, you’ve had a crush on me for ten years! You’re the first person to have a crush on me! I never thought … I would have a loyal crush!”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her askance, “Who’s your fanboy, I’m your man.”
Dulcina Calvo was picked up by him and sat on his lap.
Esteban Zaragosa took the blow dryer and blew her hair, rubbing that little head with his big, thin hands, messing up her hair like a little maniac.
“Ah … I don’t want you to dry my hair, look at the chicken nest you’ve made out of it.”
“Then you’ll do it, I won’t.”
Esteban Zaragosa handed her the hair dryer and Dulcina Calvo took the comb from one side and smoothed her hair before reaching in to dry it.
When her hair had dried and Dulcina Calvo was lying down again in great shape, she looked at the invitation in her hand and asked, “The wedding of Lazaro Morejon and Hermina Najarro, it’s this weekend, are we really going?”
Esteban Zaragosa lay down on the bed and lifted the girl, lightly sniffing the fresh scent of her long hair. “Don’t you want to go?”
“It’s not that I don’t want to go, it’s just that I don’t feel like it so much, I can go or not, but I thought, Hermina Najarro is at least your cousin, so let’s go.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s dark eyes bore into hers, “Lazaro Morejon is your ex-boyfriend after all, and you’re not upset?”
The tone of his voice was full of temptation.
Dulcina Calvo looked at him as if she had caught him in a ponytail and pointed at him with her triumphant little hand, “Esteban Zaragosa, are you jealous?”.
“I didn’t.” The man pursed his thin lips.
“If you’ve got it, you’ve got it.”
Dulcina Calvo mounted it in one go.
Esteban Zaragosa’s mouth twitched, this mare doesn’t really know what she’s doing.
“Dulcina, come down.”
Dulcina Calvo didn’t even feel the darkness in the man’s eyes, “Not me.”
“…”
Esteban Zaragosa grabbed her by the back of the neck and rolled over, pinning her down, his voice low and muffled: “Do you know I’m going to mistreat you?”.
The girl’s hands immediately covered her small scarlet face as she reacted.
But the man had already pulled his small hand away so that she had to look directly at him, and the man spoke in a deep voice: “I’m just jealous. So I’ll tell you what, Lazaro Morejon is getting married, are you in or out? If you don’t answer right, there’s no guarantee what I’ll do tonight.”
The corner of Dulcina Calvo’s mouth twitched and she muttered under her breath: “… So you let me talk to my heart? It’s clear you’re ducking…”.
“I just want to hear what I want to hear.”
Dulcina Calvo had the courage, out of nowhere, to push Esteban Zaragosa, who was crouching over her, from underneath with a violent shove of her small hands.
Dulcina Calvo reappeared at the top, looked at him and said earnestly, “It is true that at first I was a little sad when I broke up with Lázaro Morejón, because after all I had been pursuing him in ignorance for three years, but then I realized that it was not a girl’s fondness for a man, and that with Lázaro Morejón I kept to myself and never wavered in my heart even though he asked me to do so many times.”
Esteban Zaragosa allowed her to press herself against him, a dark gleam in the man’s dark eyes as he said these words.
“Then why are you giving it to me?”
“Because … Esteban Zaragosa is not the same. While you love me, I love you. I’m sure I love you more than I thought I did.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s eyebrows slowly reddened with laughter: “But you know that when you say that, it will make me want to intimidate you even more”.
…
On the weekend Esteban Zaragosa and Dulcina Calvo attended the wedding of Lázaro Morejón and Hermina Najarro.
But halfway through the wedding, Esteban Zaragosa and Dulcina Calvo left because Dulcina Calvo thought the food at the hotel where they got married was horrible, and Esteban Zaragosa took Dulcina Calvo to get food.
Therefore, they met the Adán Rouco family at the Ichiban residence.
Nico Amengual is the owner of this unique restaurant, and from the moment he met him, Adán Rouco called Nico Amengual and Matthew Gálvez right away.
Between men and men, the way to foster friendship, apart from shooting, is probably friendship at the gaming table.
Adán Rouco and Esteban Zaragosa have always had something to talk about, but have never found the right opportunity, as Esteban Zaragosa has been on vacation during this period and Adán Rouco has been spending a lot of time with his wife and children, leaving many things behind.
So, after dinner, a large private room was opened upstairs where four men were playing cards.
Paulita, clutching a slice of watermelon in one small hand, stands next to the poker table, her big eyes looking up.
Nico Amengual smiled, reached out and stroked Paulita’s little head and said, “Paulita, you’re not here to show the cards to your father, are you? That is not acceptable to my uncle.
Paulita took a bite of the watermelon and puckered her little mouth with good humor: “Uncle Nico, I won’t tell my father that you have a big ghost on your hands!”.
Nico Amengual: “…”
Paulita blinked her big, innocent eyes at Nico Amengual.
Nico Amengual was stretched out on the gaming table with a face of despair: “Adán Rouco, look what a good daughter you’ve had!
Adán Rouco’s eyes were full of smugness: “Don’t always envy me, you could have a daughter like that and you would have someone to watch your cards”.
At the mention of the child, Nico Amengual’s eyes darkened without realizing it.
Estrella Berrocal and Dulcina Calvo were chatting and eating snacks on a sofa not far away when Nico Amengual suddenly shouted like this: “Paulita his mother, drag your Paulita, if you don’t I’m going to lose everything tonight”.
Adam Rouco grunted slightly and gave him a sidelong glance, “Abandoning your family’s money? How far does that go? I keep thinking about that mine south of you.”
Esteban Zaragosa: “In the second half of the year, Ming’s organization needs a shipment. Who among you is free to do it?”
Matthew Galvez: “I have already made plans to take a long vacation for the second half of the year. Such a strenuous job does not fit into my plans for the second half of the year.”
Nico Amengual: “I have other plans for the second half of the year”.
Adán Rouco pulled out a letter: “I will do it”.
Esteban Zaragosa raised an eyebrow, “Rarely.”
Adán Rouco: “After all, unlike you who are alone, I have to earn money to support my wife and children. Or two children. You don’t understand that.
The remaining three: “…”
It’s a bit of bragging, rather than bitterness.
Paulita said surprisingly, “Guys, my dad is delivering dog food again, so you have to get a wife soon.”
Nico Amengual bitterly said, “Great to have a wife?”
Adán Rouco threw down his cards and won again: “Mmmmm, having a wife just makes your hand better at the poker table”.
Nico Amengual secretly holds a grudge and will be back when he chases after Micaela to get his fill of dog food at once!
Matthew Galvez: “Mr. Adam, you want to do this, you’ve been manually spreading dog food on almost every card since we’ve been playing, next time you’re around, don’t call me.”
Esteban Zaragosa said calmly: “Guys, I have good news for you, in a few days I am going to get married on leave. I hope you are willing to pay your share”.
Matthew Galvez took a sip of coffee and choked and coughed, “… cough cough cough cough.”
Nico Amengual slumped back down on the gaming table, “Mr. Matthew, are these two toxic?”.
Hearing this, Paulita clapped her hands and ran to Estrella Berrocal and Dulcina Calvo.
“Aunt Dulcina, Uncle Esteban says, wants to marry you!”
Dulcina Calvo suddenly blushed.
When Paulita came running up to her, Dulcina Calvo covered the little girl’s mouth: “Who did you hear that from?
Paulita blinked her big watery eyes, “Uncle Esteban himself said so!”.
Estrella Berrocal looked at Dulcina Calvo with a meaningful look: “Dulcina, congratulations, it seems that the happy occasion is near”.
Dulcina Calvo pouted: “Who, who agreed to marry him? He hasn’t even proposed to her.
“Star, Aunt Dulcina is shy, let’s not talk about it.”
Estrella Berrocal smiled and wiped the watermelon juice from Paulita’s mouth with a tissue. “Okay, we’ll leave it at that.”
Paulita opened her small hands and grabbed a roll of yuan.
“Paulita, where did the money come from?”
Paulita smiled cheekily, “Daddy and the uncles play cards and the one who loses has to give Paulita money!”.
Estrella Berrocal counted the money, several thousand at least, and wondered, “Who lost the most?”
Paulita smiled with her little white teeth: “It’s not Daddy, it’s Uncle Nico, Daddy made a lot of money, Estrella, let Daddy take us to the KFC tomorrow!”.
Estrella Berrocal shouted and pinched Paulita’s little nose: “Good”.
