In the moonlight, the two figures entwine in an embrace, the small, soft body of the girl tightly enveloping the taller figure of the man.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the teary-eyed person in his arms and could not help but feel anguished, “I have returned safe and sound, why are you crying?”
Dulcina Calvo gritted her little teeth and said a little angrily, “Why didn’t you come back to see me sooner, I thought you were really dead, do you know how long I’ve been crying? Esteban Zaragosa, I won’t allow you to … disappear like this again! It’s been seventeen days, seventeen whole days, didn’t you ever think I would miss you?”.
The man’s dark eyes stared at her, a hint of hidden compassion creeping under them, “Of course I knew you would miss me, and I wanted to get back to you soon. I also know that you must not have eaten well or slept well these days.”
“Then why have you come back to me now? I went to Rowan Island with Claudius to look for you, the rescuers said you were dead, but I didn’t believe them, the candy cane you left me, there was still one last piece of candy left, I couldn’t let go of it, I just wanted to wait for you to come back …”
Outside the house, the wind is cold and damp as Esteban Zaragosa, with the little girl in his arms, strides toward the house.
After walking towards the bedroom, with Esteban Zaragosa sitting on the edge of the bed and Dulcina Calvo on his lap, Esteban Zaragosa let out a slight sigh and leaned gently on her small forehead and said, “How dare I die, I haven’t married you yet, I still owe you a child. If I die, who will marry you and who will have children with you?”.
“It is good for you to know. So if you dare to die, I will marry another man and have children!”
Esteban Zaragosa knew she was making a threatening remark, and when he pinched her waist with his big hand, he felt her thinner in his hand and frowned slightly, “What did Claudio Belles cook you to eat while I was gone, why have you lost weight?”
Dulcina Calvo blew out her beard and glared at him, muttering, “It’s none of Claudio’s business! I thought you had died and I missed you so much that I lost weight…”
Esteban Zaragosa stared at her serious little face for a long moment, then let out a laugh, “So that’s it.”
When she’d had a miscarriage before, he’d put a lot of effort into her feeding and had managed to get some flesh off her, but when he’d left, the girl had lost weight again.
Esteban Zaragosa looked down and rubbed her little nose gently, saying sweetly, “Then I’ll stay with you every day from now on, so you’ll see me every day and I’ll never leave you again, so you’ll get fat?”
“Liar, before you went off to war you told me it was the last time you’d be apart, but … I thought I would never see you again! Who knows what you’ll do next time, your credit with me is, for the moment, reduced.”
“That’s why I left you so long this time and made you think I was dead so I could be with you forever. Sweetheart, I promise you this will never happen again, just this once.”
At that moment, he was so determined to make this decision that he feared Dulcina Calvo would not be able to bear the news of his death.
Dulcina Calvo was a little confused, “What do you mean?”.
“If I come back safe and sound, I’m afraid the president won’t let me go so easily; people in high places have unpredictable minds and there’s no guarantee he’ll threaten me with you. And I’ve thought about it, even if I leave the Ming organization, I’ve made too many enemies before to leave altogether.”
“So … you’re deliberately faking your death to try to fool the guys?”
“As of now, White Wolf is dead, and the only living person in this world is Esteban Zaragosa of Dulcina Calvo. He doesn’t belong to any country, he doesn’t have to work for any organization or any country. He only has to work for Dulcina Calvo. ”
Dulcina Calvo, deep down, vibrating deeply, looked at him with red eyes and said in a sulky voice, “I don’t want you to work for me, I want you to live for me!”
Esteban Zaragosa’s frown widened with a faint smile, “Yes, I will grant Mrs. Dulcina that request.”
“Who is Mrs. Dulcina, I have not yet agreed to marry you, I am still angry, you had better think seriously about how to cajole me!”
The man’s big hands encircled the girl’s slender back, and he lowered his head to kiss her, “How about convincing you for life?”
After kissing for a while, Dulcina Calvo blushed and suddenly thought, “Esteban Zaragosa, didn’t you cheat death, so the president’s people will find out if you suddenly return to Country Z to look for me? Should we hurry back to La Ciudad Santa?”
Esteban Zaragosa looked down at her stony, serious little face and her thin lips curved slightly as she gathered her little body in her big hands and headed for the door. “I’m coming to get you tonight.”
Dulcina Calvo kicked her legs, “But I haven’t even picked up my things yet!”
“I don’t want it.”
“No! I can’t! There’s something more important I didn’t bring with me.”
Dulcina Calvo slipped out of Esteban Zaragosa’s arms and slid away as the small figure turned and ran back into the house.
Esteban Zaragosa thought she was shedding some clothes and followed her back into the house, where there were no lights on, but luckily the moon was shining bright enough for Dulcina Calvo to run unhindered into the bedroom and take the tin box with her.
Esteban Zaragosa followed, “Don’t pack those clothes or anything, I’ll buy them for you when you get back to La Ciudad Santa. ”
“No, Esteban Zaragosa, I’m taking this!”
The girl held up the metal box, her dark, watery eyes staring at him, “This is your treasure, aren’t you taking it?”
Esteban Zaragosa froze and couldn’t help losing his smile, “How did you find this metal box?”.
“I was bored and I went to your study to look for some books and … then I found a safe and I got curious so I entered the code and it turned out it was my birthday and I found this. Esteban Zaragosa, would you blame me for going through your things and snooping around?”
“You’re Mrs. Dulcina, you can see whatever you want from me, and besides it’s supposed to be something you care about, sooner or later you’re going to find out. I never told you before because I was afraid it would scare you.”
After all, the idea of a stranger being in love with her, or even following her silently, is a little scary when you think about it.
Dulcina Calvo rushed over, grabbed Esteban Zaragosa’s big hand, hugged the metal box and said, “The important thing is taken, let’s go!”.
Esteban Zaragosa let the little Claud girl’s small hand drag him to the helicopter.
Under the moonlight, Esteban Zaragosa piloted the helicopter while Dulcina Calvo sat with her chin in her hand looking at her man fondly.
“Keep looking at me, aren’t you sleepy?”
Dulcina Calvo sighed and said, “Hey … what kind of fairy boyfriend do I have who not only flies airplanes but also fights to protect me?”
More importantly, Esteban Zaragosa was too devoted to her.
It’s a pleasure to think that such a good cabbage, like this one, goes to her.
“Esteban Zaragosa, don’t we want to say hello to Claudio before we go? Claudio is worried about you too.”
“She already knows, she’s coming when we get married and I’ve given her the invitation.”
Dulcina Calvo’s watery eyes widened, “A wedding invitation, what have you prepared, why didn’t she know?”
Esteban Zaragosa said with a faint smile, “Before I went to the border.”
“I still haven’t agreed to marry you, you haven’t even proposed to me, you’re forcing the marriage.”
Not to mention the proposal, not even a ring! It’s too much of a ritual to just get married!
“And Miss Dulcina, please, will you accept Mr. Esteban Zaragosa as your wife? The kind that never separates.”
Dulcina Calvo’s face crumpled: “No, no, no, no, no! What kind of proposal is that? I want 999 roses! And a diamond ring! A candlelight dinner”.
Well, Esteban Zaragosa took note of them all.
Nine hundred and ninety-nine roses are nothing, too vulgar to be up to her standards, he sent her a whole field of roses.
As for the diamond ring, it has several shafts, what is the difference between a diamond ring and a diamond ring?
Thousands of pounds of diamonds are available whenever she wants them.
