Chapter 69 : As if they were originally like this
Seeing his deep eyes, Micaela lowered her head whose heart was beating very fast. Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
Carlos took her hand to walk out together.
Red-faced, Micaela thought that it seemed more and more natural for Carlos rightly to hold hands.
In the mese there were already several dishes, but Carlos was not there, so no one took chopsticks.
-Wow, they were even going to wash their hands in pairs.
Ernesto looked envious and jealous.
-Of course, I see that tonight I'm not eating the food but the conjugal love shared by my brother.
Tomas put his hand on Ernesto's shoulder as they were companions in misfortune.
Micaela did not know if she was going to laugh or cry while Carlos ignored them keeping intoned.
Leonardo became proud.
-Come on, look over here, enjoy our love as you like!
Then he took Olivia in his arms and gave her a kiss on her cheek, which made her so shy and angry
that she punched him a few times.
Tomas and Ernesto went back to teasing Leonardo, with a rather lively atmosphere.
As soon as Carlos and Micaela were seated in their original position, the manager poured the wine for
them.
After pouring the wine for Carlos, the manager was going to serve Micaela. Just as she was about to
refuse, she heard Carlos' words.
-They drink juice.
Immediately the manager replaced the wine with juice for the two ladies.
Although Carlos missed Micaela's drunkenness and tenderness from that night, he understood that she
definitely did not want to drink alcohol again.
Carlos reached out his hands to serve Micaela the soup in the bowl and the others began to pick up
their chopsticks for dinner.
The plates were served quickly, set out as a full circle on the turntable.
The food was very tasty, quite exquisitely decorated, like a work of art.
As they were all acquaintances, they naturally had endless topics to talk about, some of which were
very eloquent. Dinner was also very lively.
However, as they ate, they couldn't help but glance towards Carlos and Micaela.
They saw that Carlos put one hand on the back of Micaela's seat, with the other hand he served her
food and soup from time to time, sometimes he would ask her how it tasted. And Micaela would answer
him as she ate.
That image was indescribably harmonious and pleasant, as if they were originally like that.
The aura that emanated throughout Carlos' body was no longer cold and distant, but warm and
comfortable like a good man at home.
It turned out that Carlos was so considerate and took great care of people.
It was no wonder he wanted to sit to Micaela's right so he could serve her dishes!
The sudden silence throughout the box caused Carlos and Micaela to raise their heads inexplicably.
Carlos spoke very matter-of-factly.
-Tomas, go on. What did the Italian businessman do next?
Tomas continued chatting on the subject at this point.
Everyone seemed cheerful again.
But the image at that moment was already stored in the heart. Was the image of getting along with the
loved one so beautiful?
Tomas looked towards the other couple, Leonardo and Olivia.
Although they did not show as charming a feeling as Carlos and Micaela, one could see that they knew
each other well enough and had a very unspoken understanding.
Suddenly, Leonardo put down the chopsticks and asked for the excuse to go to the bathroom.
He closed the door, took out his phone and texted someone.
-Don't come here, you don't have the chance anymore!
The other person replied with several messages quickly.
-What do you mean?
-No, I have to come!
-Leonardo, don't worry, I'll never let Mr. Aguayo know that it's you who informs me that he's here!
-I have to see him!
Leonardo regretted having told him the box number and clicked on the screen.
-Carlos is already in love with someone and has brought her to dinner. Among our friends, a woman he
doesn't recognize as a better half will not be brought out in the open.
Leonardo received no more information from the other person for a long time and then he guessed that
she should have given up.
"That's good, to avoid implicating me if the secret is not out."
When Leonardo came out, he saw Micaela opened the door to the private room and left taking her cell
phone in her hand.
Micaela walked to the hallway outside where it was empty and then answered the call.
-Hello, Mom.
The call came from the director of the orphanage where Micaela lived for two years when she was still
a child.
-Micaela, have you had dinner?
The kind voice of the president came in the middle of the phone and still made Micaela feel happy.
-Yes, I had dinner, and you?
-Me too. Micaela, I received the money you transferred me last time. The message came on the phone,
but I couldn't read it clearly, so I didn't pay much attention. Today I went to withdraw money and I didn't
know until I saw that the remaining money was overdrawn. It must have been made by you. Thank you
so much for continuing to think of the children here.
Director Mom spoke very slowly and pronounced each word clearly, because some children in the
orphanage were congenitally hearing-impaired, which made her cultivate especially excellent patience.
-You are welcome. This is what I must do. If you had not taken me in at the orphanage at that time, I
would not be like this today.
-Micaela, you are very kind. I am calling you today to ask you a favor.
Then he paused for a while, as if he found it difficult to put something on the table.
-No, don't say this. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you.
-Well, can you talk to your cousin, to ask him to sympathize with the children and not to take back the
land?
"What, is the Elvira Family going to take back the land from the orphanage?"
-Or ask her to give me a few months and let me find a suitable place to move. Miss Elvira came today
and told us that we would have to move immediately. Really, I have no idea for a while. You are her
younger cousin, can you help me talk to her?
The president felt that talking to Micaela was hard, because she knew that the members of the Elvira
Family were not attached to Micaela, which Micaela mentioned to her before but then told her less and
less.
The president understood that Micaela did not want her concern.
If she had no other choice really, the president would not call her.
Micaela knew that the land was bought by the Elvira Family a few years ago.
"Nevertheless, why isn't the orphanage allowed to stay open there all of a sudden?"
"Is there a problem in the Elvira Group's funds, so she needs to sell the land again?"
"Or is Adriana simply trying to take advantage of this issue so that I will beg her?"
"If it's the latter, then she has achieved her goal - in fact, I need to pay her a visit!"
Micaela agreed to his request with promises that she would talk to Adriana, so that the president would
calm down without thinking too much, then warned her to pay attention to health and hung up the
phone.
With the cell phone in her hand, Micaela took a deep breath and prepared to turn around and head
back to the box.
She was talking on the phone as she walked slowly, and at this point she had reached the window at
the end of the hallway.
It was only then that she remembered that she had forgotten the number of the private room.
As she came, Carlos directed her directly and she didn't fix her attention on the box at all. Did she need
to find it room by room?
Or could she simply phone Carlos.
Before Micaela could raise her hand, suddenly, another male hand reached out from the hallway to the
left, covered her mouth and nose, and pulled her into the bathroom.
