Eleanora Lozada turned to Tulio Moralez and said in a polite, subdued voice, “Mr. Tulio, thank you for the ride back, you come back.”
Tulio Moralez nodded, looked at Tomas Salcedo and blurted out, “Be careful, ma’am.”
With those words, Tulio Moralez turned around, opened the door and got into the car.
Eleanora Lozada watched the black Bentley drive away, slightly dazed.
Tomas Salcedo heard Tulio Moralez’s “ma’am” matter-of-factly and asked, “Eleanora, why is that Mr. Tulio calling you ma’am?”
Eleanora Lozada casually changed the subject: “He called him at random, by the way, it’s getting late, let’s go back”.
But Tomas Salcedo was not fooled and kept asking, “Eleanora, what’s wrong with you today, why haven’t you answered the phone and why did you suddenly leave the hospital, I’ve been worried about you all day.”
Eleanora Lozada, knowing that Tomas Salcedo would push her that way, took a deep breath and said, “I’m sorry, Tomas Salcedo, I know it was wrong for me to suddenly leave the hospital today and not say hello to you. But I’m sorry, I don’t know how to explain it to you.”
“Eleanora, tell me honestly, did that ex-boyfriend of yours come looking for you?”
Eleanora Lozada’s eyelashes fluttered, and she had no intention of hiding it from Tomas Salcedo, dropping her watery eyes and nodding silently.
Tomas Salcedo asked with concern, “Has he stalked you? Tell me where he is and I’ll go get him to settle the score for you.”
“Tomas Salcedo, this matter, can you stay out of it? I want to settle it myself.”
With Jonathan Tasis’ personality and tactics, if Tomas Salcedo intervened, Tomas Salcedo would be afraid to suffer.
Tomas Salcedo had nothing to do with it from start to finish, and Eleanora Lozada would feel sorry for Tomas Salcedo if Jonathan Tasis had really turned against him.
“Eleanora…”
Eleanora Lozada turned at once and spoke, “I’m tired and would like to go rest first.”
Tomas Salcedo had to desist and went on, but he couldn’t resist asking, “That man, did he know you were pregnant?”
Eleanora Lozada gave a “hmmm,” “He knew, but he didn’t know the baby was his.”
“What’s the point of that kind of scum bothering you when you’ve been abandoned!”
Eleanora Lozada wanted to say that she had provoked Jonathan Tasis first and that it wasn’t all Jonathan Tasis’ fault, but she was too tired and didn’t really want to explain herself to Tomas Salcedo, so she said no more.
…
Back in the bedroom, Eleanora Lozada took a shower and lay down on the narrow, hard cot in the bedroom, somewhat sleepless.
She picked up her cell phone and looked at the WeChat dialog box with Mr. J. She clicked and clicked out of it several times before Eleanora Lozada finally made up her mind and deleted Mr. J as a friend.
But after deleting him, Eleanora Lozada couldn’t sleep anymore.
…
Here at the hotel, Tulio Moralez returned to resume his duties after dropping Eleanora Lozada off at school.
Jonathan Tasis said, “I’m going to the Alquezar School tomorrow morning as a donor, you do the paperwork.”
Tulio Moralez: “Okay, boss.”
He would like to meet with the father of Eleanora Lozada’s son to see what kind of man he is, who has made Eleanora Lozada so devoted to him that she doesn’t even want him.
Tulio Moralez looked at Jonathan Tasis standing by the window with a shrinking heart and couldn’t help but say, “Boss, there’s something I don’t know if I should say.”
“Say.”
“With Miss Analena’s personality, if she really decides to abort the child she is carrying in her womb, I’m afraid Miss Analena will hate her for the rest of her life.”
Jonathan Tasis clenched his fist and his gaze showed a hint of cruelty, “I have to raise her child with another man?”
The baby, as proof that Eleanora Lozada had betrayed him, and the mere sight of Eleanora Lozada’s slightly bulging belly made Jonathan Tasis feel hatred and pain.
Even he did not think he would hate Eleanora Lozada’s betrayal so much.
Maybe it’s true love, so there’s no room for half a sand.
Tulio Moralez swallowed saliva, thinking that yes, in a man of Jonathan Tasis’s stature he could stand for his wife to be by his side pregnant by another man.
