One day Estrella Berrocal took Dulcina Calvo shopping and when the evening came, Estrella Berrocal proposed going to dinner at a restaurant, but Dulcina Calvo thought it was too expensive.
Estrella Berrocal smiled and said, “Ms. Dulcina, you are already a little rich, don’t be so stingy…”.
“All that money from my family, Esteban Zaragosa, is hard-earned money, and I can’t spend it just like that.”
“You have to have it, the virtue of thrift is good, but tonight I’m paying for it.”
Dulcina Calvo smiled with her little white teeth and said, “Suddenly you’re offering, tell me, do you want my help?”
Estrella Berrocal gave her a contemptuous look, “Aren’t you happy I’m inviting you to dinner? Little boy, today I’m treating you to a first-class meal!”.
“Really? As expected of a capitalist’s wife, she’s a generous spender.”
The two men got into a cab while talking and laughing.
The cab kept going for a long time and Dulcina Calvo was confused, “Estrella, what hotel are we going to anyway, I don’t see how this car is going to the middle of nowhere?”.
Estrella Berrocal lied without moving, “The hotel is a cortijo, so it’s on the outskirts.”
But when it got dark and the cab pulled away, Dulcina Calvo approached Estrella Berrocal and whispered, “Estrella, is this driver going to kidnap us, it looks like a strange road?”
Estrella Berrocal opened her phone to show her the driving directions, “It’s okay, he just followed my route, no detours.”
Besides, how could that chauffeur arranged by Adam Rouco kidnap them!
Dulcina Calvo is still a bit worried, with her little arm around Estrella Berrocal and her dark, watery eyes looking warily around her.
Estrella Berrocal stifled her laughter; it would be a surprise to be seen doing the whole thing.
The cab drove for an hour or so before it reached its destination.
Dulcina Calvo looked around at the deserted surroundings and the dark farmhouse, her face went white and she pulled Estrella Berrocal who was about to get in, “Estrella, this isn’t a haunted house, is it? I think we should go back! We can eat anywhere downtown, it feels weird here!”
Estrella Berrocal smiled and said, “Okay, what are you afraid of, you’re a medical student and you’re still afraid of ghosts, didn’t you say you spent time with dead bodies in the morgue when you were in college?”
Dulcina Calvo frowned a little, “I’ve been with dead bodies in the morgue, and that was with my classmates, and dead bodies are really nothing to be afraid of, but this place always seems to reveal a creepy aura … Let’s get out of here!”
In the gloom, Estrella Berrocal suddenly let go of her hand and before Dulcina Calvo could react, Estrella Berrocal had already disappeared.
Dulcina Calvo was anxious and scared: “Estrella! Where are you?”
Shit, she’s afraid of the dark!
Dulcina Calvo was about to pull out her cell phone and turn on her flashlight when there was a sudden “click” in the dark and the whole farmhouse lit up!
Dulcina Calvo grabs her phone and stares at the translucent sky, a little stunned …
The whole farm was covered in brightly colored rose petals. Dulcina Calvo looked down and there were signs on the ground, and unconsciously followed the arrows.
After walking for about five minutes, a huge field of roses came into view.
In the middle of the flower field, a white rectangular European table was set up with candles, champagne and chops, all looking “spooky” and romantic!
Dulcina Calvo gasped, was this, was this the last dinner the bullies had invited her to?
Could she refuse?
Dulcina Calvo turned to run, but behind her was the sound of a beautiful violin.
Dulcina Calvo’s feet went … to hell, this thug had a bit of a strange fetish, was he a legendary homicidal maniac with an artistic approach to killing?
Dulcina Calvo’s heart was beating like a drum, a pounding, tingling scalp.
But just as she was about to run, a pair of long, strong male arms wrapped around her from behind.
“Ah…!”
Dulcina Calvo shouted.
“Does it scare you?”
Huh? It’s Esteban Zaragosa’s voice!
As soon as Dulcina Calvo turned her head, she saw Esteban Zaragosa’s face and excitedly threw her arms around his neck, but soon realized it was Esteban Zaragosa’s disposition.
Before she could react to what Esteban Zaragosa intended, Adam Rouco’s voice came from not too far away, “Esteban Zaragosa, hurry up and get to the point!”
It was then that Dulcina Calvo realized that the three of the Adam Rouco family had arrived.
Jiang Jingzhan this is for …
The man in front of her, holding her small hand, knelt down on one knee, his dark eyes fixed on her, his eyes full of deep love.
“Miss Dulcina, will you marry me? No betrayal, no separation, for a lifetime together?”
“…”
Dulcina Calvo was speechless with emotion, a small hand covering her mouth and tears in her eyes from emotion.
Paulita patted her side and jumped for joy, “Aunt Dulcina! Say yes!”
The brightly lit farmhouse filled with the scent of roses, very sweet and gourmand.
Esteban Zaragosa took out of his pocket a little black velvet box, opened it, took out the diamond ring inside and put it in front of her: “Dulcina, meeting you has been the greatest blessing of my life. But I will be responsible for your luck and happiness for the rest of your life, so now, will you marry me?”.
Dulcina Calvo’s hot tears, came to her eyes and she nodded her little head vigorously, “Yes, Esteban Zaragosa, yes…”
The diamond ring, fitting securely on Dulcina Calvo’s ring finger, is just right and fits surprisingly well.
What was a shock turned into a surprise!
Once Adam Rouco’s family finished their task, he had the good sense to leave the estate without disturbing them again.
Esteban Zaragosa and Dulcina Calvo sat at opposite ends of the table in the middle of a field of roses, Dulcina Calvo ate her steak, which was already cold from the wind, and said jokingly, “Next time you want to surprise me, you can give me a hint beforehand, tonight I got a good scare, I thought this was the last thing the thugs had prepared for dinner.”
Esteban Zaragosa got up and approached her, taking her little hand, “Come on, don’t eat, it’s getting cold, it’s a stupid idea of Adam Rouco.”
“This steak tastes good cold too.”
Esteban Zaragosa knelt down in front of her, grabbed her little hand and said, “Did you get scared tonight?”.
“A little, but I really didn’t expect you to propose and have such a big field of roses for me.”
Esteban Zaragosa’s frown tinged with a slight smile, “Do you like it?”.
“I love it, it’s just that this field of flowers would be great to take home and be able to enjoy every day.”
Esteban Zaragosa looked at his little wife’s white face and said, “Then next time we’ll recreate the backyard at home.”
Dulcina Calvo asked curiously, “How can we have a patio when our house is so small?”
Newlyweds, of course they will have to move house, they will have children in the future and this little apartment is too small now, sooner or later they will have to move house.
Esteban Zaragosa stands up and grabs the girl horizontally.
Dulcina Calvo’s stomach growled twice, she rubbed her belly and said with a little red face, “I’m hungry, I haven’t eaten tonight.”
“Let’s eat something delicious now.”
Dulcina Calvo nuzzled his neck, her little face facing the table behind her, “What about these steaks?”
“Someone will come to clean it up.”
Esteban Zaragosa took her straight to the farmhouse, which was huge and had a large restaurant where, in addition to a chef, there was a waiter.
Dulcina Calvo was sitting at the table waiting for her meal, her little hand on her chin looking out the window at night: “What a view, tomorrow it will look great in the daytime.”
“Then we’ll stay here tonight and play here all day tomorrow before we go home.”
“Still a place to stay here, eh?”
Esteban Zaragosa nodded, “Yes, there is, I’ve seen the hotel, it’s not bad, it’s a B&B.”
Soon the hot food was served. Although all the dishes were homemade, they were made with the freshest ingredients of the season, so they tasted even better than in many star restaurants.
Esteban Zaragosa served a bowl of carp soup to Dulcina Calvo: “This carp is wild-raised and fresh, try it and if you like it, we’ll come here for dinner more often.”
Dulcina Calvo took a sip and the taste was truly exceptional. She drank two small bowls and her stomach warmed instantly, she took a teaspoon and passed it to Esteban Zaragosa’s mouth, who took a sip and the two of them ate their fill.
On the way to the B&B, Esteban Zaragosa grabbed Dulcina Calvo’s little hand and laced their fingers together.
Dulcina Calvo raised her little hand, looked at the translucent diamond ring she wore on her ring finger and said, “This ring is expensive, isn’t it?”
“Mrs. Dulcina, don’t always bother about my money, your husband is really very rich so there is no need to bother.”
Dulcina Calvo said with a little smile, “I’m used to living like a commoner, and it always seems to me that people who are well fed die early.”
Esteban Zaragosa: …
