Only then Dulcina Calvo looked up as a witticism and saw several men on the second floor with their backs to them, whispering and laughing!
Dulcina Calvo unconsciously looked what she was wearing … directly into her face and ran into the bedroom.
Ah, ah, ah! It’s so humiliating!
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the small figure, put his hand to his forehead and ordered the men on the second floor, coldly and seriously: “Now get downstairs and run ten laps outside! Don’t come in here for less than one lap.”
“Yes!”
After the order, Esteban Zaragosa carried the breakfast into the room.
Dulcina Calvo buried herself under the sheets, clenching her fists and letting out a timid sob.
Esteban Zaragosa placed the breakfast on the small round wooden table in the bedroom, walked over and sat on the edge of the bed, reached over and took Dulcina Calvo in his arms.
“I thought you said you were hungry, I brought it for you.”
Dulcina Calvo blew out her beard and said with a little red face, “Why are you working at home? I didn’t even know anyone was coming home and it’s a shame to run out dressed like that.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at her amused, “Or do I gouge their eyes out then?”.
“That’s atrocious too.”
Dulcina Calvo muttered, then crawled from the bed, sat down at the round table, picked up her glass of water and took a long, hard drink before starting breakfast.
Dulcina Calvo, hearing the running around outside, squinted her eyes and asked, “What are they doing?”
“I punished them for running outside.”
Dulcina Calvo: “…”
Esteban Zaragosa picked up a soft camisole and wrapped it around Dulcina Calvo’s slender shoulders. “It’s not cold in the house, but dressed like this, you tend to catch cold.”
Dulcina Calvo sipping chicken soup with goji berries in a delicate ceramic bowl.
Esteban Zaragosa asks, “How’s the chicken broth today?”
“It’s good, but when you go to the border in a few days, there will be no one to make chicken soup for me.”
Dulcina Calvo said miserably, “I’m going to be alone in this big house and it’s lonely to think about it.”
When she finished, the girl reached out and wrapped her arms around his waist.
Esteban Zaragosa reached out and stroked her little head, “I’ll be back soon.”
Dulcina Calvo tilted her little face to one side and asked, “Did you just have a meeting to discuss when you’re going to the border?”
“Yes.”
“So, have you decided on a day to leave?”
“I have to go to the president’s side this afternoon to finalize it with him.”
“When you return, will you be able to leave your job? Will the president of Z Nation agree?”
Esteban Zaragosa looked into the girl’s pure, watery eyes and smiled slightly. “All previous presidents have tried to take power away from the leader of the Ming organization’s cabinet, so if I hand it over to him automatically, there’s little reason for him to refuse, is there?”
Dulcina Calvo smiled a small white smile with red lips, “How nice, then we can go home and open a fish and sauerkraut store.”
Esteban Zaragosa hugged her, “When we get back, you can do whatever you want, I’ll be with you in whatever you do.”
Dulcina Calvo asked, deliberately and jokingly, “Will you join me in murder and fire?”
Esteban Zaragosa kissed her forehead and said with a soft smile, “How about if I pass you the knife and set the fire?”
Dulcina Calvo rubbed against the back of his neck like a kitten, “Esteban Zaragosa you are very nice.”
…
Esteban Zaragosa returned in the afternoon from the Council Chamber with a grave look on his face.
Dulcina Calvo ran up to him and asked anxiously, “Esteban Zaragosa, when did the president say he wanted you to leave?”
“Tomorrow.”
“Huh? Just like that, how come this president won’t let people rest?”
Dulcina Calvo mumbled something and then reassured him, “But it’s a good thing you’re leaving tomorrow so you’ll be back sooner!”
As he watched her explain, Esteban Zaragosa’s eyes filled with pain and he raised his hand to touch the little girl’s face.
Dulcina Calvo grabbed his hand and said with a smile, “I didn’t want to let you go, but you said you came back this time thinking you wouldn’t do this job again, so I’m looking forward to you doing this last job now, so I’m not too sorry to part with you.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s thin lips curved, and although he knew her words were half-truths, mostly to reassure and reassure him, Esteban Zaragosa didn’t want to tear her down.
“It’s a good thing you’re not upset.”
Dulcina Calvo wrapped her arms around him, her small body sinking into the man’s wide, warm embrace, and commanded, “Then you must take care of yourself, don’t let them hurt you.”
With such a dangerous border, it would be a lie to say he was not worried.
Esteban Zaragosa also hugged her tightly and said, “I will protect myself and come back to you alive. After all…”
“After all what?”
The man lowered his gaze, his thin lips pressed against her ear, and spoke in a muffled voice: “After all, I still owe you a son.”
Dulcina Calvo suddenly blushed and shoved him away, “Esteban Zaragosa!
“I tell you serious things, too.”
“You’re being an idiot!”
With that said, Dulcina Calvo ran off.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the little girl’s small figure and gave a soft sigh.
She was gone for a while and needed to pester Claudio Belles to keep an eye on her.
Esteban Zaragosa called Claudio Belles on the phone.
“It’s me.”
Over there, Claudio Belles threw a somber voice: “Tell me, Grand Master, what is it? You don’t want to dismiss me and ask me to accompany you to the border to fight, do you?”
“You are not allowed to fight, and you are not ready to go to the border. I just wanted to ask you one thing.”
“Leave it, Esteban Zaragosa, why do you take me now that you are so solicitous when you have something to do and nothing to do?”.
Esteban Zaragosa: “I didn’t make a pass at you either”.
Claudio Belles is about to vomit blood: “…”
“Ok, you’re tough, what do you want to ask me, let’s see if I’m in a good mood, I might say yes if I’m in a good mood”.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the girl playing with her phone in the bedroom and said, “I’m going to the border for a while and I don’t know when I’ll be back, Dulcina doesn’t know anyone in Z. Once I’m gone, she won’t have anyone to protect her safety. So I want to ask you, please, to take care of Dulcina for me.”
Claudius Belles, not in the mood, said, “…. This is something you hire a bodyguard for, I’m not in the mood.”
“Claudio, I haven’t asked you for anything, this, please help me.”
Claudio Belles, on the other end of the phone, was a bit stunned to see that Esteban Zaragosa, who had never begged anyone or asked for anything over the years, was now ducking his head for Dulcina Calvo.
Esteban Zaragosa added, “Claudio, you are the person I trust the most and I can only trust you with Dulcina.”
“No, I feel no warmth until I have your dear Dulcina Calvo in my hands, and if anything happens, you will be to blame, and then I will not be able to escape.”
Esteban Zaragosa returned to the charge with, “Now you have Ice Blade and you’re afraid of me?”
Claudio Belles growled coldly, “I’m not afraid of you without Ice Blade, okay!”.
I knew it was provocative, but it worked.
“Then it’s a deal, I’ll wait for you to come in the morning before I leave.”
Claudio Belles asked again, “But when I go, will Dulcina Calvo cook for me, or will I cook for her?”
“Dulcina has had an abortion recently as you know, why don’t you delegate and cook?”
“Esteban Zaragosa, fuck off!” . Wait, I will order takeout every day and torture your dear Dulcina.”
“…”
