Dulcina Calvo spent the whole day crying, her eyes red and swollen, and finally fell asleep crying in Esteban Zaragosa’s arms.
In the evening, Adam Rouco arrived at Esteban Zaragosa’s chalet.
The two men were standing on the terrace talking, and Esteban Zaragosa, who felt exhausted and irritated, took out a box of cigarettes.
“Do you want to smoke?”
Adam Rouco takes a cigarette with his long fingers, smiling and sneering, “You don’t smoke, do you, why are you smoking again now?”
Esteban Zaragosa is not a smoker and rarely smokes, but right now he is smoking a lot.
“I’m not in a good mood.”
Esteban Zaragosa lights up, Adam Rouco approaches and asks to borrow the fire, and the two men stand on the terrace, gulping.
“What, did you have a fight with Dulcina Calvo?”.
“No, it wouldn’t bother me so much if it was just a fight.”
Esteban Zaragosa didn’t say what it was about, and Adam Rouco didn’t ask, because after all it was a private matter between two people, and even between brothers, men don’t usually ask too many questions about family matters, especially when it comes to women.
This is also the difference between men and women.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at Adam Rouco and asked, “When are you planning to return?”
“I came tonight to say goodbye to you, my family is waiting for me, I have to go back quickly and I don’t think you will need my help with Orlondo Marta.”
Esteban Zaragosa curved his lips and said, “Yes we need you, but are you going to stay?”.
Adam Rouco, with a playful twinkle in his eye, had a cigarette in one hand and rested his hand nonchalantly on the balcony railing, watching the beautiful sunset in the distance. ”
Esteban Zaragosa shook his fist and wrapped it around his shoulder, “I know you have a full life now, and show. When’s the flight?”
“The plane tonight.”
…
It was night in Country Z.
Esteban Zaragosa hugged Dulcina Calvo, but she couldn’t sleep.
Esteban Zaragosa gently removed his arm from behind Dulcina Calvo’s head, cautiously got out of bed and left the bedroom.
So many things had accumulated in his mind during these days.
Orlondo Marta’s betrayal, the truth about her parents’ death, Dulcina Calvo’s miscarriage … they had piled on top of each other and had been thrust upon him.
Esteban Zaragosa is a man of steel, yes, but even an unshakable man can have his moments of anguish and distress.
Esteban Zaragosa was standing on the terrace, about to light a cigarette, when someone from the villa burst in.
“Esteban Zaragosa, come here! I have no problem with you saving Dulcina Calvo! You sold me out without batting an eye! I can’t live with this!”
“Esteban Zaragosa, come here!”
Esteban Zaragosa heard Claudio Belles’ “lion’s roar” and marched into the living room.
As soon as Claudio Belles saw Esteban Zaragosa, the fire in his heart burned even more: “I thought you were hiding from me! You sold me Ice Blade for Dulcina Calvo’s antidote!
Esteban Zaragosa unconsciously glanced toward the bedroom and in a level tone indicated, “Lower your voice, Dulcina is sleeping.”
“…”
Claudio Belles was about to vomit blood with rage!
“Heh, so you didn’t hear me when I’ve been talking for half a day, did you? You’ve gone too far with this and I’m pissed!”
She had been spouting expletives for a long time, she wasn’t kidding, she was really pissed off, and Esteban Zaragosa didn’t even bother to tell her to keep her yelling down.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her and said, “Go talk on the balcony.”
“…” Claudio Belles stubbornly planted himself in the living room, “I’m not going!”.
Esteban Zaragosa, however, ignored her completely and went straight to the balcony. Claudio Belles felt like exploding, stamped his foot and followed him with a firm step to the balcony.
“Esteban Zaragosa, you are not going to give me an explanation for this, get over it I tell you.”
Claudio Belles expected Esteban Zaragosa to give him a lot of explanations, but instead, without a word, Esteban Zaragosa pulled out a pistol and shoved it straight into Claudio Belles’ hand.
“If you can’t get over it and you feel bad, shoot me. You saved Dulcina’s life, and this one I’m giving back to you.”
“…”
Claudio Belles was so angry that he exploded in place.
The woman gritted her teeth and growled coldly, “You want to pay for your life, don’t you? I’ll give you an injection right now! But I’m not responsible for waking up your precious Dulcina Calvo.”
Esteban Zaragosa spoke lightly, “She’s silenced, she can’t hear you!
Damn it!
Claudio Belles was so angry that he took his gun and shot Esteban Zaragosa right in the side!
Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes didn’t move.
Claudio Belles slipped the gun into his hand and looked at him angrily, “You think because I have feelings for you, you can throw away my feelings for you?”.
The fact that Esteban Zaragosa had traded her so decisively for Dulcina Calvo’s antidote had hurt him a lot, not only in terms of heartbreak, but also in terms of pride.
Claudio Belles is usually a big-hearted girl, in the eyes of others, a ruthless and cold-blooded killer named Rosa Negra, some men are frightened by her name, but Claudio Belles is still a woman, she also has a vulnerable emotional side, even in unrequited love, she deserves to have dignity.
“I never wanted to spoil your feelings, take you out of the Ming organization, not because Ice Blade asked me to, even if Ice Blade would not have opened this mouth, I would have taken you out later, you are not only my comrade, my brother, but also my family, my sister, Claudio, I want you to live a normal life.”
“But you left me Ice Blade, I’d rather be an assassin in the Ming Organization!”
“Ice Blade is capable and strong enough to protect you, he’ll be your umbrella. If you really don’t want to go C with Ice Blade, I can also throw all of Ming’s forces against him.”
Claudio Belles bit his red lip and gave him a disgusted look, “Forget it, you’re not going to move a dog with those words, but even without Dulcina Calvo, I’m going back to C with Ice Blade.”
Esteban Zaragosa frowned a little, a little confused about what Claudio Belles meant, but the latter didn’t give him a chance to ask further, after all, how was he going to tell him something so humiliating?
Heh, for the sake of seeking cooperation with the Dark Organization, for the sake of the centuries-old friendship between Z and C, this little sacrifice of his seemed somewhat insignificant.
Such an alliance would save many lives, so why not.
Claudius Belles turned around and said in a stubborn and domineering manner, “I’ll sleep here tonight, you can’t throw me out.
There is a wolf living in his private villa, and a wolf like a tiger.
Thinking about Eduardo Tercero gives Claudio Belles a headache.
Esteban Zaragosa looks behind him and says, “Claudio, thank you.”
“It was Dulcina Calvo’s life I saved, if you want to thank me, let her thank me herself.”
