After lunch, Claudio Belles lies down on the deck chair and reads for a while.
Dulcina Calvo was surprised to learn that Claudio Belles was reading a book. … It doesn’t really fit the picture.
Claudio Belles had some desserts delivered to the villa for Dulcina Calvo to pick up and when Dulcina Calvo saw the delicate and beautiful cupcakes, her eyes lit up.
“You like desserts too, I thought a guy like you would look down on us sweet-toothed girls and think it’s girly!”
Claudio Belles answered directly, “I’m already a woman, I’m already a woman, okay?”.
Dulcina Calvo had a shudder, and that was about as unconventional as it could be coming from her!
After a brief afternoon coffee, Dulcina Calvo saw that Claudio Belles was still reading and hurried herself to the bedroom with the intention of taking a nap.
But, awake, Dulcina Calvo clutched her cell phone and tried to reach Esteban Zaragosa, but did not know how to do it.
She wanted to ask Claudio Belles, but her intuition told her that Claudio Belles would not tell her.
Claudio Belles must only feel that his contact with Esteban Zaragosa now would only increase the problem and affect Esteban Zaragosa’s status.
Dulcina Calvo gave up the idea of contacting Esteban Zaragosa at that moment, and the corners of the girl’s lips curved involuntarily as she looked at the jar of candy in the cupboard next to her bed.
Holding the clear candy jar in her small hands, she looked at the colorful candies inside, reached out and removed the lid, touched a favorite color with her small hands, unwrapped the candy wrapper and tasted one.
This brand of fruit candy is really tasty and not too greasy.
When Claudio Belles finished his book, he went to the bedroom and found Dulcina Calvo sprawled cross-legged on the bed, clutching a fruit candy and eating it.
Claudio Belles stood in the bedroom doorway like a father, looking at her with his arms crossed, “So you’ve been hiding candy behind my back.”
Dulcina Calvo heard his voice and hurried to bury the candy cane under the sheets, “My sugar is low, so I need to take sugar.”
“What kind of candy are you eating, it looks like it tastes good, bring it over here and I’ll take a look at it.”
Dulcina Calvo clutched the jar of sugar in her arms as if it were a treasure, “No, you can share other things, not this one.
This is the candy Esteban Zaragosa left her to count the days, and it would be a mess if Claudio Belles ate it!
Claudio Belles, a wise and fine minded man, raised an eyebrow at seeing her so precious, “So precious that Esteban Zaragosa gave it to you?”.
The girl said with a bit of arrogance, “That’s the deal I made with him.”
“Then I … I’d like it even more!”
Claudio Belles rushed over and threw his hand on him, and Dulcina Calvo became as fierce and milky as a newborn.
“It’s all right, I don’t care about your candy, I don’t even want it, only an innocent girl like you would believe in those tricks of men, especially used to trick you.”
Dulcina Calvo growled, “I’m happy to be lied to! Like you, no one wants to lie to you!”
Claudio Belles raised an eyebrow and looked at her in amusement, “You know a lot, don’t you?”
“I can’t say I know much, but I certainly know more than you when it comes to relationships.”
“Heh, where do you get the confidence, do you know the people who pursue me…”
Before Claudio Belles could finish his sentence, Dulcina Calvo continued, “I know, I know, there are more than enough people after you to go around the world!”
“Hm, good to know.”
In the next sentence, Dulcina Calvo added: “But just because you have a lot of jokes doesn’t mean you have a lot of relationships, Esteban Zaragosa told me you’ve never had a real relationship until now!”
Claudio Belles’ face, always calm and composed, was exposed, but the emotion was short-lived and he quickly hid it. “Not that I would tell Esteban Zaragosa who I’m in love with! He does it as if he knew my love life!”.
With those words, Claudio Belles sheepishly turned away and went straight to the living room, never to speak to Dulcina Calvo again.
Dulcina Calvo growled softly as she sat down on the bed, “And she’s still bent on denying it.”
…
On the third day after Esteban Zaragosa’s departure, Dulcina Calvo’s whole being withered.
Although she found many things to do, she could not help but think of him whenever she had free time.
If this had been La Ciudad Santa, maybe she could have found Estrella Berrocal to hang out and let off steam, in La Ciudad Santa she would have her work and not as much time to spare as in this village.
Besides, Esteban Zaragosa’s personal objects are seen in every corner of this enormous villa, and whenever one is idle, thoughts are like vines with innumerable hands, twisting and strangling the heart.
Dulcina Calvo also tried to get Claudio Belles to accompany her through country Z, but Claudio Belles is especially upright in some respects. For example, most girls like shopping, but Claudio Belles doesn’t like it and finds it a waste of time and has to be on the lookout for suspicious people.
Living as vigilant and defensive as Claudio Belles, Dulcina Calvo couldn’t do it and found it exhausting.
She simply lay in big-boy form on the bed and ate and slept and slept and slept and ate.
But after lying there for a long time, Dulcina Calvo felt the need to do something to distract herself, so she ran to Esteban Zaragosa’s studio to look for a comic book or something fun.
She rummaged around Esteban Zaragosa’s studio for a long time before her curiosity finally landed on a safe with a combination lock.
Dulcina Calvo is a kid at heart and gets even more curious when she sees how hidden and coded the safe is.
But these things are usually of a private nature, so before trying to enter her password, Dulcina Calvo hesitated for a moment, muttering in her mind.
“Esteban Zaragosa, I didn’t mean to go through your stuff, I just… I was bored, and anyway we’re going to be a couple from now on.”
Hmmm! Couples should be honest with each other and not have big secrets!
So Dulcina Calvo sat down on the carpet in her studio and started racking her brain over the code.
As a rule of thumb, a bank card is temporarily frozen if you enter the wrong withdrawal code three times, so with a fancy safe like this, you should also enter it three times, and if the codes are all wrong, you probably won’t be allowed to re-enter them.
For the first time, Dulcina Calvo set out to enter Esteban Zaragosa’s birthday time, but discovered to her sorrow that, damn it, she had been in love with Esteban Zaragosa for so long that she didn’t know what month Esteban Zaragosa’s birthday was.
It seems that she is a bit too much of a failure as a girlfriend …
However, Esteban Zaragosa loves her so much that there’s no chance he’ll use her birthday as a password, a narcissistic idea Dulcina Calvo puts into practice.
He loses it with his hand and the safe is really opened.
Dulcina Calvo, repentant, decides that when Esteban Zaragosa returns, she will be doubly kind to him and remember his birthday next time!
In the dark safe, Dulcina Calvo pulled out an iron box of some antiquity, which was square and covered with European-style paintings of a girl in a puffy white dress with a pair of transparent wings on her back, surrounded by swings and butterflies, exquisitely styled, but nothing special.
With some effort, Dulcina Calvo opened the lid of the metal box.
Hidden inside was a diary, and next to it …
Dulcina Calvo took the thing with her fingers and looked confused … It was a small white cotton camisole worn by the girls.
I can’t believe that Esteban Zaragosa, who is usually so abstinent, has such a fetish!
