Chapter 786: Gabrio Extra 1
Allyce thought Severo was becoming more and more humorous now.
But it was all cold humour too.
Alonzo lowered his head and grunted as he ate his bowl of rice, then took a tissue and wiped his own mouth and looked at Severo: “Dad, I want to go to the bathroom.
Severo put down the chopsticks and took Alonzo to the bathroom.
Before he went, he also instructed Allyce: “Don’t run around”.
There were other people at their table and Severo’s voice was not too loud, but that didn’t mean they couldn’t hear him.
Allyce pushed Severo uncomfortably: “Go away!
This man is getting more and more meddlesome!
Seeing Allyce glaring at him, Severo not only didn’t get angry, he even smiled.
Alonzo sighed, he was in a hurry.
Severo took Alonzo to the bathroom and met Marco in the corridor.
It was Neto’s wedding day and Marco, being the older brother, had to be busy entertaining the guests.
Severo looked at him, not wanting to talk to him.
However, Marco approached him and reached out to touch Alonzo’s head: “Alonzo”.
Alonzo covered his stomach and sounded especially anxious: “I need to go to the bathroom!
Marco: “…”
Severo put his hand to his lips to stifle the urge to laugh.
They were about to reach the bathroom, so they led the way and let Alonzo go in alone.
Alonzo ran to the bathroom on his short legs.
Marco watched Alonzo walk away before turning around.
When he turned around, he saw Severo staring at him.
He raised an eyebrow: “What’s wrong with looking at your son?
Severo put his hands in his pockets and bowed his head slightly: “It’s mine to look at again”.
Children!
Marco pursed his lips, looking at Severo’s frank face, he didn’t know what to say for a moment.
I have never seen such a mean man!
But what to do, he felt so angry!
Suddenly, he remembered something and gave Severo a wry smile: “Allyce’s old friend will also be here today, and by now, he’s probably already met.
He remained crestfallen and said no more.
Severo frowned, thinking, Allyce’s old friend from Sky City?
His face sank at the thought, and he turned to walk back into the hall.
Marco stopped him just in time: “Your son is still in there going to the toilet, don’t you want to go and check?
Oh.
What a son!
Severo, his face grim and sullen, went to the bathroom to look for Alonzo.
…
The food at the hotel banquet was good, but Allyce was a little picky about her pregnancy, so she ate slowly.
Their table was small, and Neto had reserved a table for them, with two seats next to it.
Severo and Alonzo did not return and she thought they were taking too long, wondering if she should call Severo, when she heard a very clear female voice.
“Cousin, what are you doing frozen, come here, we are sitting down, Barreda has reserved a seat just for us”.
Allyce looked up and found herself face to face with the girl who was talking, very young and very pretty.
Carmencita was stunned to see Allyce, she reached out and pointed at her, her mouth opened wide and she approached with an excited look, “You’re Allyce?”
“You’re …” Allyce could guess that this girl had a good relationship with The Pastrano family, but she didn’t really know this girl.
“I’m Carmencita, I live next door to Barreda and his family, this is my cousin …” Carmencita turned her head to look and saw her cousin limping outside.
He chased after him and pulled him: “Hey, cousin, where are you going?
Allyce looked in the direction Carmencita was running and was stunned to see the familiar back.
He was speechless for a moment before getting up and approaching.
Carmencita kept pulling her cousin, not letting her go.
Allyce turned directly to her cousin, choking back a sob and uttering a strange but familiar name.
“Mr. Gabrio”.
Earlier, Severo had told him that Marco knew about Gabrio, but that he had been kind to him and had let Gabrio into the National Institute.
After all that had happened, Allyce’s relationship with Gabrio was no longer as pure and innocent as it was at the beginning.
Even if we don’t see each other again, as long as he’s alive and well, as clean as ever, he’s fine.
He never thought he would see Gabrio today.
Gabrio’s head hung slightly, his figure was thin and frail, his face was white from long hours in the research lab, and he carried a cane in his hand.Content held by NôvelDrama.Org.
He stares at the ground and does not look up at Allyce.
Carmencita, standing to one side, sensing that something was wrong between the two men, said shyly: “They knew each other before, eh?
Allyce was the first to pull herself together.
He turned his head to Carmencita and smiled, “You haven’t had lunch yet, have you? Come and sit down”.
Carmencita froze at Allyce’s smile, it was really very pretty.
After a few seconds, he reacted and tugged Gabrio: “Cousin, let’s sit down.
“I have some business in my research room, so I won’t go there first.” Gabrio tugged Carmencita’s hand and walked around Allyce and headed outside.
Allyce raised her hand slightly and then withdrew it as if thinking about something.
Carmencita clearly perceived that Gabrio was not in a good mood and called out faintly: “Cousin …”.
Gabrio walked a little faster, obviously used to walking on crutches.
Allyce was unusually relieved in her heart that her Mr. Gabrio was back on his feet.
Carmencita looked into Allyce’s reddened eyes and was a little speechless: “Are you OK?
“Yes, come over and sit down first.” Allyce pulled her towards the table.
Carmencita sensed that something unusual must have happened between her cousin and Allyce, but she did not know Allyce well and was too embarrassed to ask.
In reality, Gabrio and his family were distant relatives, but his parents were still close, so the Carmencita family had always taken good care of Gabrio since he arrived in Sky City and joined the National Institute.
When Severo returned with Alonzo, he scanned the room and realised that he had not seen Gabrio and became a little suspicious.
Had Marco bluffed?
“Back.” Allyce saw the two men returning and smiled at her, then said to Carmencita: “This is my husband, Severo, and this is my son, Alonzo, call the aunt”.
Alonzo was very good and called: “Hello Auntie”.
Carmencita replied with a smile: “Hello, my name is Carmencita”.
Severo was a bit sensitive about the surname “Ortis” and gave Carmencita an extra look.
