After sleeping until the next day, Esteban Zaragosa took Dulcina Calvo out to dinner and then to the bridal store to pick out her wedding dress.
This time, as Dulcina Calvo took her wedding dress to the fitting room, Esteban Zaragosa, with the shadow of the last time in his mind, got up and prepared to follow Dulcina Calvo to the fitting room.
The sales clerk smiled and warned, “Mr. Esteban, I will follow Ms. Dulcina, you can sit here and wait. It’s not good for men to go into the women’s fitting room.”
Dulcina Calvo blushed a little, also thinking that Esteban Zaragosa was playing dumb, and said, “Wait for me here then, if I meet strange people in there this time, whatever it is, I will scream immediately.”
Esteban Zaragosa was relieved, but ever since Dulcina Calvo had entered the fitting room, Esteban Zaragosa’s mind had been unable to relax.
Until –
A shout was heard from the fitting room.
Esteban Zaragosa’s brow furrowed as he stood up and ran quickly, “Dulcina! What’s going on?”
In the fitting room Dulcina Calvo’s embarrassed voice sounded again, “Esteban Zaragosa, I’m fine, sit back down, … I need to squeeze the back of this wedding dress, it’s strangling my breath.”
Esteban Zaragosa planted himself at the fitting room door and directly reprimanded the sales clerk, “Can you put it on, you’re strangling people, haven’t you been trained in your store?”
“…” the clerk’s face was bitter, what an injustice!
In the fitting room, came the quiet little voice of Dulcina Calvo: “Esteban Zaragosa, it’s really not your fault, I’ve never worn a dress with a bodice like this!”.
Esteban Zaragosa’s sullen face, which was a little better, lingered at the fitting room door, but didn’t go away.
The last time she was with Dulcina Calvo at her wedding dress fitting, she was captured by Orlondo Marta, who not only turned her into a puppet killer, but also lost her first child, an event that will forever haunt Esteban Zaragosa. It will always remain in Esteban Zaragosa’s mind.
By the time Dulcina Calvo managed to put on her wedding dress and came out of the fitting room carrying the hem, a bright smile appeared on her cute little face as she stood in front of Esteban Zaragosa and asked, with a smile on her lips, “Does it fit you?”
Dulcina Calvo, already pure in appearance, looked even whiter in her holy white wedding dress, like a spotless spirit.
Esteban Zaragosa looked at the girl with a gaze that deepened and, without mincing words, complimented her, “Preciosa.”
Dulcina Calvo lifted her skirt and murmured, “It’s just that this wedding dress seems too long to me…”
The salesgirl said, “Ms. Dulcina, the longer the hemline, the better. We’ve already had customers who have asked for hems that are three meters long.”
“Three meters long, wouldn’t that be a mop?”
The sales clerk was amused, “Mrs. Dulcina is very funny.”
Esteban Zaragosa gazed at his petite wife, white, tender and sweet, if only she had grown a little flesh.
“Esteban Zaragosa, shall we keep this outfit?”
Esteban Zaragosa narrowed his eyes slightly and stood with one hand in his pocket, staring at her, “Take a look.”
Dulcina Calvo mumbled slightly, “How are you going to turn it if it’s so long.”
Despite his words, she spun it around to show him, “How’s that?”.
“We’ll take it if you want.”
At first, Esteban Zaragosa wanted to take her advice and buy a ready-made wedding dress from the store so as not to be a spendthrift, but Esteban Zaragosa still thought that those ordinary wedding dresses were not worthy of his Dulcina Calvo, that if he saw it he would buy it for her first, but definitely not for the wedding, it was too casual.
Dulcina Calvo nodded, not bothering to try them on again, thinking this one was just as good. “Okay, we’ll take this one then!”.
As Esteban Zaragosa and Dulcina Calvo were leaving the bridal store after swiping their cards, Dulcina Calvo suddenly said, “We don’t have anything to do this afternoon anyway, why don’t you call Adam Rouco and ask him if he’s available now?”
Esteban Zaragosa: …
An hour later, in the VIP room of the first-class residence.
Dulcina Calvo pulled out five thousand dollars in cash and boldly said, “I’m going to win the money for my wedding dress today!”
Estrella Berrocal smiled and asked, “Have you bought your wedding dress yet?”.
“Yes, I just went to a trial and it cost me more than 10. 000, it hurts”.
Dulcina Calvo puffed up her little mouth and continued, “I see everyone is renting a wedding dress to get married and Esteban Zaragosa doesn’t want to, otherwise I would rent one too.”
Estrella Berrocal scoffed, “Dulcina, how stingy you are, all the other girls are eager to wear their own wedding dresses for their weddings, but you’re still mad because Dr. Esteban won’t let you rent a wedding dress.”
Dulcina Calvo spat her tongue, “I’m getting my wedding money back today anyway! President Adam, shuffle the deck!”
Estrella Berrocal and Adam Rouco exchanged a glance, and Adam Rouco curved his thin lips playfully, “At home practicing your skills?”
“That must be it, after many nights of hard practice!”
Esteban Zaragosa covered his thin lips with his clenched fist and coughed lightly, for he had indeed practiced hard for several nights, beating the bad guy without even hitching a finger!
“Adam, let’s go to the bathroom first.”
Dulcina Calvo frowned in disgust, “Esteban Zaragosa, you’re not a girl, do you have to hold hands to go to the bathroom?”.
It seems likely that Adam Rouco probably … knew that Esteban Zaragosa was going to tell him some little secret.
So Adam Rouco got up and said, “Come on, together, you guys shuffle the cards first. We’ll come later.
Before the perplexed look of the two women, the two men went together to the bathroom.
Estrella Berrocal and Dulcina Calvo both tensed their heads – “Estrella, do you think I’m going to shuffle the cards first?
“Estrella, do you think there’s anything suspicious about these two?”
“Both of them … shouldn’t be bent, should they?”
Dulcina Calvo’s heart skipped a beat at the thought, and her watery eyes widened as she looked at Estrella Berrocal. “Adam Rouco must have seduced Esteban Zaragosa first!”
Estrella Berrocal: “…. What the fuck, it was your doctor Esteban who just asked our Adam Rouco to accompany him to the bathroom, okay? I can also attest that Adam Rouco is heterosexual, otherwise how else would he have Paulita and Lucio?”
“…” seems to make a lot of sense.
In the washroom, two men are standing by the sink, relieving themselves and chatting….
“Then you let our Dulcina Calvo win.”
Adam Rouco looked at Esteban Zaragosa: “What’s in it for me?”.
“Five million.”
Adam Rouco thought for a moment: “Ten million”.
Esteban Zaragosa: “…. Adam Rouco, let’s not be too human”.
“If not now, when? Thank God I didn’t ask you for another mine”.
Shit! What an asshole! 10 million for Dulcina Calvo to earn 10, 000! Esteban Zaragosa must be crazy to accept so easily!
…
Two hours later, the sound of Dulcina Calvo’s maniacal laughter came from inside the booth.
“Ha, ha, ha, ha. 11. 000, President Adam! I told you beforehand that I had been working on my technique! You didn’t take it seriously, and now you’ve lost!”
Adam Rouco looked at Dulcina Calvo’s smug little face and the corners of his lips twitched slightly, from under the table, Esteban Zaragosa kicked Adam Rouco, who was quick to congratulate him without moving, “Yes, I didn’t expect you to improve so much after a few days of practice, I was very gullible. Ms. Dulcina is very good at hitting bad guys, I’m not as good as you.”
Dulcina Calvo’s tail was in the air as she received the compliment, holding the small wad of bills in her hand, and becoming increasingly smug, “Now you know how good I am! You didn’t believe me when I said I was good at beating up bad guys! Those years in college playing at being a badass with the cell phone in the dorm were not in vain.”
Dulcina Calvo took her winnings and bragged to Esteban Zaragosa like a little girl, “Esteban Zaragosa, I’m amazing! Not only did I get back the money we lost, but I got back the money for the wedding dress! The wedding dress was a gift.”
Esteban Zaragosa patted the little head of one of them and affectionately congratulated him, “Well, our Dulcina is great. She’s making money.
Adam Rouco couldn’t help it and his face almost burst into laughter.
Dulcina Calvo will make money and Adam Rouco, whichever way you look at it, thinks Dulcina Calvo is a loser.
Estrella Berrocal, naturally, didn’t know the truth, but she always thought Adam Rouco had a strange expression on his face: “What are you laughing at?”.
“Nothing, today I met a big fool who traded me a watermelon for a small sesame seed.”
At the end of his sentence, Adam Rouco gave Esteban Zaragosa a meaningful look, especially intriguing.
From under the table, Esteban Zaragosa kicks Adam Rouco again.
Adam Rouco is not upset or angry, $10 million is worth a couple of random kicks like that.
Dulcina Calvo laughed like a fool as Esteban Zaragosa complimented his petite wife while her heart bled and vowed never to let Dulcina Calvo touch any spoiled eggs again.
It’s too expensive.
…
Once Adam Rouco and Estrella Berrocal got out of the One Piece and got into the car, Estrella Berrocal muttered while buckling her seat belt, “You always seemed weird to me today, did you lose to Dulcina on purpose? Today you always give me the boot in everything I do, I don’t seem to be on the same wavelength as you.”
Adam Rouco said with a slight smile, “Dulcina Calvo won 11. 000 today, but I got 10 million from Esteban Zaragosa. ”
Estrella Berrocal’s watery eyes widened in disbelief as she asked, “Really?”
“Of course it’s true, Esteban Zaragosa paid 10 million for me to lose to Dulcina Calvo. ”
Estrella Berrocal: “…. Dulcina is really too stupid to be fooled.”
Adam Rouco laughed lightly and joked: “I don’t think Dulcina Calvo is the stupid one, I think Esteban Zaragosa is more stupid”.
And yes, who spends 10 million dollars to earn 10, 000? You’re crazy!
After a moment, Adam Rouco glanced at the small woman in the passenger seat and added, “But it would cost me ten million dollars to get a laugh out of you, and I’d be happy to do it.”
Estrella Berrocal’s mouth twitched, “No, that smile is too expensive too, I’m too overwhelmed to laugh.”
Adam Rouco: …
…
In the evening, Esteban Zaragosa took his petite wife to bed and caught up with her to undress her on the way.
Dulcina Calvo’s small hand stopped quickly, “Esteban Zaragosa, there’s something I want to talk to you about.”
“Hey, I’m listening.”
Esteban Zaragosa wanted nothing to do with her at that moment and responded perfunctorily, ducking his head and doing what he wanted.
Dulcina Calvo blinked twice with her big black eyes and argued with Esteban Zaragosa with particular excitement: “Esteban Zaragosa, look how good I am at poker, why don’t you ask Adam Rouco out every week and we’ll make them $10, 000 every week, so we could make $40, 000 a month? That’s much more than what I was making! Forty thousand dollars is a few months’ food for us.”
Esteban Zaragosa: … He’s almost vomiting blood!
“Well Dulcina, it’s not good to indulge in gambling, we play once in a while to relax, you come every week and that’s gambling money.” taught Esteban Zaragosa patiently.
But Dulcina Calvo didn’t eat his words, with little stars in her eyes and a look of expectation, “But my mother plays mahjong almost every day, I only play once a week, and I’m trying to earn some money for our family.”
“So what if you lose?”
“No, I don’t have much to do at home right now anyway, I can play badass with the cell phone a lot and I’m sure I’ll play better than Adam Rouco. ”
Jesus, Esteban Zaragosa is going crazy.
When Esteban Zaragosa didn’t answer, Dulcina Calvo puffed up her little face, “How about Esteban Zaragosa?”.
“No good! Go to bed in peace and don’t play with any more bad phones from now on! Go back to playing and I will confiscate all your phones.”
Dulcina Calvo: …
Oooh, you poor thing!
