Chapter 97: Gala dinner (2)
The two entered arm in arm and were not too quiet.
Lucila from time to time deliberately stride, Neto kick, Neto more excessive, long arms reached to encircle Lucila’s waist, the side of the head do not know what to say, Lucila kicked his leg hard, the two almost fight.
Allyce laughed out loud at this.
Severo heard her laugh and looked back at her, “What’s so funny?”
Allyce took him by the arm, still wearing high heels, she looked at him with her head slightly raised “Don’t you think that’s funny?”.
Severo raised his eyebrows and walked towards the lift with her in his arms, without speaking again.
He was not amused to see people flirting.
……
The lift stopped on the 17th floor.
The group exited the lift and headed straight for the ballroom.
Neto and Lucila came in ahead, Allyce and Severo followed, and Xabat did not go up.
As they entered the ballroom, Allyce saw Senona and Enzo standing in the middle of the crowd.
Allyce looked sideways at Severo: “The party organised by the Aybar family?
Severo said nothing, silence meant acquiescence.
No wonder he said he only came to eat and drink.
But why did he come to the banquet organised by the Aybar family?
As soon as Neto and Lucila entered, they went to the other side and separated from them.
“What do you want to eat, I’ll get it for you?” Severo spoke as he took her to fetch the food.
He took the plate in his hand, turned his head and asked: “What do you want to eat?
“…” When you said eat and drink, were you really here just to eat and drink?Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
Severo looked at her with a face full of doubt, pursed his lips and smiled, chose a few things he liked to eat and took her to the other side to sit down.
When other people came in, they were all looking for people to exchange pleasantries with, to go up and make friends with powerful people.
Allyce and Severo, sitting to one side and eating in silence, looked a little out of place.
Severo sat down, found no drinks, got up and said: “I’ll get the drinks, you sit here and behave yourself.
Sit well …
She is not a child.
“If you’re going to leave, leave.” Allyce gave him a blank stare, not realising that she still had salad dressing on the corners of her mouth.
Severo watched her for a second and then suddenly moved down to kiss her, rolling the salad dressing off her lips and into his own mouth.
Allyce looked at him in surprise, turned her head to look around to make sure no one was watching, and then turned her head to glare at him with hatred.
Severo doesn’t bother, reaches out and pinches his face, turns around to get the juice.
Severo had just turned to leave when Enzo suddenly appeared.
“Allyce.
She called Allyce, and she was already in front of her.
Allyce looked at Enzo standing in front of her in a daze, remembering what had happened last time, and inexplicably turned her head in the direction Severo had gone to look over.
Luckily, where Severo was going, he couldn’t see his side.
“Something wrong?” Allyce turned her head to look at Enzo with a smile on her face, she just wanted to get rid of Enzo quickly.
Enzo’s face was somewhat condensed as he looked in the direction Severo had gone, “Are you still with him?”
The tone sounded a little strange.
“We’re a licensed legal couple, why can’t we be together?”. Allyce felt a little amused as to why Enzo always seemed to have to be in charge of her.
Enzo still had a glass of champagne in his hand, he put it down and frowned slightly, “Allyce, not everyone trusts you as much as I do, you’re too innocent to be fooled, does he know about you?”
Allyce: “…”
Enzo saw that she didn’t say anything, thought she was being scolded, walked over and sat down next to her, without making much noise: “He doesn’t know about your previous miscarriages, does he?”
“What do you mean?” Now, Allyce couldn’t keep the smile off her face, she really had to wonder how Enzo’s brain circuitry was growing.
“You don’t need to be so sensitive, I know it was because you were cheated on at the time because you were young, that doesn’t matter, so it’s totally unnecessary for you to give in and marry that man, he has nothing, he’s not capable of giving you happiness.”
In Enzo’s opinion, Severo’s type of person who is vice-president in a small company has no future and is not taken into account at all.
Allyce probably knew it was because of what he said to Enzo last time that made him misunderstand.
However, even if she explained it to him now, Enzo would not listen to her. He is a very stubborn person, and what he has decided is what he has decided.
I don’t know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but he chose to believe Allyce’s false accusation about abortion at the time, but he didn’t despise her for it.
In his opinion, Allyce just didn’t know what to do and did something out of the ordinary, no big deal, although her reputation was a little worse, and he wouldn’t marry her anyway.
Even so, she had to explain herself: “The kind of man I marry is my freedom, whether he has money or not, what kind of life I lead, that’s my business, you don’t need to care.
Enzo frowned, “Allyce! I’m going to be angry if you talk like that, you should marry a better man and live a better life”.
Allyce: “I’ve got a good life now too …”
He was unable to communicate with Enzo.
Enzo replies: “You will have a better life apart from him”.
“Could Mr. Ebba tell me, why would she be better off separated from me?”
Allyce stepped back and saw that Severo had returned at some point, his face dark and sullen, obviously angry.
Allyce shrank towards him shyly, not knowing how much she had heard.
Enzo didn’t seem to expect Severo to suddenly appear either, a trace of discomfort shone on his face.
But the pride of being the youngest in the Aybar family made him not back down and he stood up: “With all due respect, Mr. Betances and Allyce don’t deserve each other, and Allyce deserves a better man.
Severo lowered his cold face a few stitches, an outsider, too, ran up to him to say such things.
“And what kind of man does Mr. Aybar think is more worthy of my wife?” Severo spoke as he sat down, leaning back slightly.
As he sat down and Enzo stood up, Enzo felt strangely that he was shorter than Severo.
This realisation made Enzo’s face sink as he snorted, “At least not like you”.
“You don’t have to be so hypocritical now because you didn’t choose to trust me then, I don’t care.”
Allyce looked at Enzo with a cold face, there was no temperature in his eyes.
