Jonathan Tasis sat in the house and looked through the floor-to-ceiling windows at the two women, looking out at the flowers in the yard, amazingly talking and laughing, and the picture was damned harmonious.
The relationship between Jonathan Tasis and Perla Prats, although it did not end and was not really a relationship, it was not a real relationship, but we all have a bad conscience, after all Perla Prats was his girlfriend, even if nothing happened between them, but in the eyes of Eleanora Lozada, Perla Prats was also Jonathan Tasis’ serious ex.
Jonathan Tasis is sitting on the sofa, tweeting to Adan Rouco.
“Discipline your niece well, the older one is no longer young and it’s time for you, as an uncle, to worry about her marriage.”
No sooner had he sent the message than Adam Rouco replied, “If it’s about your marriage, I can help boost it.”
“…”
Jonathan Tasis had no time to joke with him and looked out the floor-to-ceiling window where Perla Prats and Eleanora Lozada were gossiping as if they were friends, and although he couldn’t hear what they were saying, the occasional winning smile Perla Prats threw him was a good indication that he must be in the presence of Eleanora Lozada.
This Perla Prats, in all likelihood, is here for revenge.
Jonathan Tasis cut to the chase and told Adam Rouco, “You call Perla Prats directly now and ask her to come to your house for dinner.”
On the other end of the phone, Adam Rouco was old and calm, “Benefits.”
“Give a price.”
So, in The Villas of Repulse Bay.
Paulita pushed open the studio door with her tablet in her arms, “Dad, do you have time now? Play with me.”
Paulita ran to Adam Rouco in her little yellow duck shoes and, as she climbed up to sit on his lap, her little hand touched the screen of Adam Rouco’s cell phone and tapped the number “5” to send it.
There, Jonathan Tasis thought that Adam Rouco wanted five million: “You ask for a lot of money.”
Adam Rouco blackmails him with a phone call and extorts $5 million from him!
Adam Rouco hugged Paulita, his dark eyes scanned the phone, frowned slightly and growled softly.
Five million is still too much, so he’s being polite.
“Sorry, I was asking for $50 million.”
Jonathan Tasis: “…”
Adam Rouco is so blatantly old!
Next, Adam Rouco sent another tweet, “You have three minutes to think about it.”
“…”
What a bully!
Paulita, sitting on Adam Rouco’s lap, was unloading the game and complained to Adam Rouco: “Dad, this is so slow, it takes three minutes!”
Adam Rouco stroked his daughter’s little head, “Good girl.”
Adam Rouco added: “My daughter’s game starts in three minutes, so if you don’t hurry, I won’t have time to call you back.”
Jonathan Tasis: “… Call me now and I’ll have my assistant wire you the money later”.
Adam Rouco returned the “OK” gesture within seconds.
Jonathan Tasis looked at this “OK” and felt the urge to punch Adam Rouco in the face through the screen.
What a way to confront a brother.
Here in the studio, Adam Rouco has just finished playing a game with Paulita when Estrella Berrocal, who is painting downstairs, receives a text message on her mobile bank.
She has this bank card, which is Adam Rouco’s secondary card, but it is linked to his mobile number for convenience.
She looked at the message and received 50 million, frowning slightly, thinking that a customer of Adam Rouco’s business had the wrong card number.
Estrella Berrocal took the cell phone up to the studio to find Adam Rouco and asked, “I just received 50 million on my card, did I get the wrong amount?”
Adam Rouco scanned the text message on the phone handed to him by Estrella Berrocal and smiled faintly, “There is no mistake in the remittance, here you go as pocket money.”
“… That’s a lot of money, I can’t use up my allowance.”
“Here is the extra dollar I earned, spend it as you like, no need to get overwhelmed.”
Estrella Berrocal asked no questions, but she was convinced that it was too easy for capitalists to make money, and that you could make $50 million at one time with a dollar from outside….
She could never have made that much money in her life from her regular job.
Adam Rouco pulled Paulita off his lap and she grabbed the hem of Estrella Berrocal’s skirt and said, “Estar, I want money too!”.
Estrella Berrocal stroked her daughter’s little head, smiled, and asked, “Yes, how much does Paulita want?”
Paulita extended a little slap, “Five dollars! I want to buy candy.”
Adam Rouco also patted his daughter’s head and said, “Paulita, Daddy doesn’t have five dollars.”
Paulita’s little eyebrow furrowed, “Why are you so poor, Daddy, do you have any money left to buy milk for my brother and me to drink? Milk costs ten dollars.”
Adam Rouco: “Papa doesn’t have five dollars, but he has many hundreds.”
Paulita: “…”
Estrella Berrocal: “…”
This man, he is so showy, he is heavenly showy.
As Estrella Berrocal was leading Paulita down the stairs, Adam Rouco suddenly remembered: “By the way, Perla Prats is coming home for dinner later”.
Estrella Berrocal was stunned, “Why is Perla Prats suddenly coming home for dinner?”.
After Estrella Berrocal’s marriage to Adam Rouco, Perla Prats continued with her, but Estrella Berrocal was married and had a second child, so she had less contact with Perla Prats, who did not usually come to dinner at her uncle’s house, except for New Year’s Eve parties.
She is a rare visitor these days.
“Eleanora Lozada is back and Perla Prats went to Jonathan Tasis’ house today to mess up and of course Jonathan Tasis had to kick her out.”
Estrella Berrocal: “No way, Perla hasn’t left Jonathan Tasis yet? Don’t you have someone out there to introduce Perla to? ”
Adam Rouco looked at her and scoffed, “That, of all the friends I’ve played with, Matthew Galvez is the only one who’s not a famous pasture.”
Estrella Berrocal shook her head at the thought of Matthew Galvez’s puppy dog look, “Forget about that Matthew Galvez, he doesn’t look like he’s had enough fun.”
Adam Rouco: “Perla Prats is really a girl at heart, Matthew Galvez doesn’t see Perla either, and I heard that Matthew Galvez’s family recently got him a fiance, a fat girl, and Matthew Galvez is having fun. ”
Estrella Berrocal raised an eyebrow, certain that Matthew Galvez wasn’t distracted enough to be amused.
Adam Rouco took Estrella Berrocal’s hand and squeezed it in his palm, saying amused, “Besides, if I were to introduce a friend of my generation to Perla Prats, and if I did, wouldn’t it spoil my relationship with Perla, and I’m her uncle?”
“So I’m still Perla’s best friend, should I call you brother-in-law along with Perla?”
A deep, dark glint shone under the man’s dark eyes as he lowered his gaze and spoke playfully into her ear, “I don’t mind if you want to scream, but only in bed.”
Estrella Berrocal: “…”
What wicked things go through this man’s mind!
“And you’re not afraid of people saying you’re old and young!”
Adam Rouco returned without blushing: “Only a battle-hardened bull can eat young grass.”
Estrella Berrocal turned red at once at the man’s words and dragged Paulita up the stairs in a hurry.
…
Villas del Condado Azul.
Jonathan Tasis was finally relieved when Perla Prats was called on Adam Rouco’s phone.
During dinner, Jonathan Tasis looked at Eleanora Lozada several times and finally couldn’t resist asking her, “What did you and Perla Prats talk about this evening that was so pleasant?”
Eleanora Lozada took a sip of her rib soup, “Girl talk wouldn’t interest you.”
Jonathan Tasis didn’t think Perla Prats was so innocent and asked directly, “Didn’t Perla Prats poke me in the back?”
However, Eleanora Lozada left her dishes, “Mr. Jonathan, is there an old relationship you haven’t cleared with me?”.
An old love affair? His affair with Analena Lozada was known to Eleanora Lozada all along, and it certainly wasn’t Analena Lozada who was being talked about.
