On the way home, Dulcina Calvo asked curiously, “Why did you just tell Professor Gilberto that you met him? How did you meet Professor Gilberto?”
“Ten years ago.”
Esteban Zaragosa has no intention of hiding it either.
Dulcina Calvo thought again and covered her mouth in surprised subconsciousness, her teary eyes wide: “Did you follow me silently…?”
Esteban Zaragosa stopped in his tracks, his dark eyes fixed on her, “I have not been part of your past, but your past is all I want to know, and I will not only be part of the present and the future, but I will spend it with you.”
Dulcina Calvo was touched that Esteban Zaragosa could say this, is that … so disconcerting that Esteban Zaragosa could look at the Dulcina Calvo of ten years ago.
“… But I didn’t look good at all back then, I was skinny, short and underdeveloped, so how could you like me like that?”
Esteban Zaragosa, whether jokingly or seriously, blurted out the phrase: “I just love green apples”.
“…”
Dulcina Calvo reacted by pushing Esteban Zaragosa out of the way: “You’re the pervert! You’re the green apple.”
Esteban Zaragosa put his arms around her as she fretted, and his hot breath rolled into her ear as he spoke slowly in a low, muffled voice: “Ten years, I have not waited in vain, and the little green apple is ripe.”
He said it in a very serious way, but Dulcina Calvo instantly took it badly: “Esteban Zaragosa why are you so horny!”.
The man, however, seemed cheerful, took her little hand and headed for home, “Come on, go home to bed.”
…
After a few days of rest in the City of Ronda, Mother Dulcina made a pile of food to put in Esteban Zaragosa’s car when he returned to the Holy City.
Before leaving, he also took care to explain many things to Dulcina Calvo.
After returning to La Ciudad Santa, Dulcina Calvo took a few days off before going to work and while she was on vacation, Esteban Zaragosa took her to a couture store to try on wedding dresses.
“The first time I came to a bridal store, I was still accompanying Estrella to try on wedding dresses.”
Esteban Zaragosa laughs lightly, “What’s the point of trying on wedding dresses with other people, it’s the fun of trying on your own dress.”
The bridal store manager approached with a polite smile, “Mr. Esteban, the wedding dress you ordered just arrived today, would Mrs. Esteban like to try it on now?”.
Mrs. Esteban…
The epithet made Dulcina Calvo blush.
Esteban Zaragosa nodded slightly, “Now try it.”
The sales clerk brought the dress and Dulcina Calvo’s eyes lit up. The dress was beautiful, but at first glance it was worth a lot of money.
Dulcina Calvo approached Esteban Zaragosa and asked in a whisper, “Is this wedding dress particularly expensive? It must cost at least five figures.”
The sales clerk and manager next to her naturally heard what Dulcina Calvo said and said with a smile, “Mrs. Esteban, this wedding dress is really …”
Before the manager could finish her words, Esteban Zaragosa suddenly took the floor and interrupted, “Actually, this wedding dress is under five figures, five thousand, a great deal, go try it on.”
“Really? So good value for money?”
Dulcina Calvo approached the wedding dress, looked at the few set diamonds and nervously asked, “Esteban Zaragosa, this is a real diamond, right?”.
If they were real diamonds, these little ones alone would cost more than $5, 000.
The manager awkwardly tried to explain himself again, “Mrs. Esteban, this is South Africa …”.
“Precious stones.” said Esteban Zaragosa directly.
The man came up behind the girl and said in a low, soft voice, “This wedding dress looks good on you, go and try it on, I can afford a five thousand dollar wedding dress, I want to see you in it, huh?”.
This reassured Dulcina Calvo, who narrowed her eyes and smiled like a kitten that has stolen something. “All right, I’ll try it then.”
The sales clerk pushed the wedding dress and gestured, “Mrs. Esteban, this way, please.”
Once Dulcina Calvo entered the interior fitting room, the manager couldn’t resist reminding her: “Mr. Esteban, this wedding dress of ours is haute couture, and the price is five million, not five thousand”.
Esteban Zaragosa’s dark eyes shot a cold look at the director, “I know.”
“That was now…”
“My wife is frugal and doesn’t like to splurge, so when you shop later, tell her the wedding dress costs $5, 000 and is 20% off.”
Manager: “… good, good.”
A man who can afford to buy a $5 million wedding dress must be rich and famous.
But the bride-to-be now, what a silly fufu, seemed to have no idea of Mr. Esteban’s height.
…
Here, the sales clerk removes the wedding dress and hands it to Dulcina Calvo.
“Mrs. Esteban, this wedding dress is a little difficult to put on, do you need my help?”
Dulcina Calvo made a small hand gesture, “No, I’ll call you if I need you.”
She wasn’t used to having someone she didn’t know well help her get dressed.
“Okay, Mrs. Esteban.”
When the sales clerk left, Dulcina Calvo was about to go inside to put on her wedding dress when a familiar voice suddenly called out to her.
“Dulcina girl”.
Dulcina Calvo turned her head and saw Orlondo Marta suddenly appear, “Old man? What are you doing here, Esteban Zaragosa is outside, he will be glad to see you here”.
Orlondo Marta approached, “I’m not here to see Esteban. ”
Dulcina Calvo was a little confused, “Huh? So you…”
“I’m here to see you, boy.”
…
Esteban Zaragosa sat outside on the sofa, read a magazine for a while and waited a while without seeing Dulcina Calvo come out.
Seeing this, the saleswoman said, “Maybe Mrs. Esteban is not very good with wedding dresses, Mr. Esteban please wait a moment, I will check.”
Esteban Zaragosa had an inexplicable sense of foreboding: “No, I’ll go see for myself”.
The man gets up and goes to the fitting room, but sees that the wedding dress is still in the fitting room and Dulcina Calvo is nowhere to be seen.
Esteban Zaragosa’s heart skipped a beat as he jumped up and down.
“Dulcina!”
The employee and manager outside heard Esteban Zaragosa’s voice and rushed in: “Mr. Esteban, what’s wrong?
“My wife is missing, do you have surveillance here? I want to see the surveillance.”
“Mr. Esteban take it easy for a while, Mrs. Esteban is a great hustler, we didn’t even see her leave, I’m sure she went to the bathroom, Angela, you go to the bathroom quickly.”
“Yes, I’ll go now.”
However, the sales clerk went to the bathroom and looked for Dulcina Calvo, but did not find her.
Esteban Zaragosa picked up one of Dulcina Calvo’s usual bracelets on the floor: “Don’t look for it, they must have taken my wife, I have to pull the surveillance”.
The director and the employee blushed.
Realizing the seriousness of the matter, the director immediately ordered, “Get the surveillance here immediately!”.
Esteban Zaragosa followed the personnel directly to the surveillance area and discovered that it had been hacked.
Esteban Zaragosa didn’t even stop and walked straight out of the bridal store.
The manager and the clerk looked at each other, “Don’t we have to call the `police’?”.
“A great living person disappeared out of the blue …. Won’t this Mr. Esteban be looking for trouble with our store?”
“Could it be that Mrs. Esteban has run off on her own and is trying to extort money from our store?”
…
Esteban Zaragosa left the bridal store, got into his car and was about to contact Ming’s organization when Orlondo Marta’s call came in.
“Esteban, I’m very disappointed that I took that girl of yours right under your nose and you didn’t notice.”
Esteban Zaragosa gritted his teeth: “Father Justo, you promised me you wouldn’t touch Dulcina Calvo!”.
“I have worked hard to train you to be the best assassin, soon you will be my only rival, but this is the time when you want to leave the Ming Organization, Esteban, I will only grow up if I destroy your favorite.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s chest choked violently and his voice was as cold as that of an infernal monk: “I forbid you to harm Dulcina Calvo! If you touch her, I will kill you.”
