Chapter 750: Not afraid of things
At the words, Lucila heard muffled footsteps, and by the sound of them, they were coming towards her.C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
He hastily pushed the door gently shut and locked it, turning back to the bed and pretending he had just woken up.
It didn’t take long for Neto to arrive.
There was no hint of anger on his face and he smiled at Lucila when he saw her sitting on the bed.
With that, he walked over to her and sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out and stroking her messy hair, “Are you just waking up?”
“Hmm.” Lucila nodded and asked him, “Where have you been and why haven’t you called me?”
“I didn’t call you because I saw that you were sleeping a lot, and it wasn’t too late”.
Lucila watched Neto’s facial expression closely and could see nothing unusual.
Based on these conversations, he did not believe that there was not something going on between Neto and Julio.
A woman’s intuition is always frighteningly accurate.
When I was with Neto, I knew he had a lot of pink pasts.
However, none had passed under their noses.
For the first time a woman appears who could have had an affair with Neto, without expecting it to be in La familia Pastrano.
Lucila pushed the question out of her mind and asked: “So, …, is everyone back yet?
“Except for my sister-in-law, no one else has come back yet”. There was no hint of abnormality in his face when he mentioned the “second sister-in-law”.
…
By dinner time, the Pastrano family was back.
Men from military and political families, one more imposing and majestic than the other.
Apart from Marco, Lucila does not know any of the other members of the Pastrano family.
One of the young men, from the moment he entered, kept sizing Lucila up as if he were comparing something.
He bore a resemblance to Neto and was about the same age, and she assumed that he was Neto’s second brother, Barreda.
After listening to the conversation between Neto and his “second sister-in-law”, he had memorised the key words.
Women are naturally sensitive and are already inventing a doggy love-hate relationship in their heads.
But one of the people involved was her boyfriend.
Lucila looked askance at Barreda and averted her gaze.
Neto began to introduce her to the members of the Pastrano family, and she remembered them all, opening her mouth to shout.
Neto’s father and grandfather, it is clear that neither of them treat Lucila well.
Neto’s grandfather was more visible, with his anger hanging on his face.
“OK, OK, eat!” said Conrad, before picking up his chopsticks and starting to eat.
The atmosphere at the table was subdued, with only the faint sounds of eating and chewing.
Earlier, Neto had told him that the Pastrano family had a rule not to talk about food at the table.
The good thing is that this is not difficult for her.
After lunch, Conrado called Neto to the studio, and Neto’s father, Inocencio, followed him.
The only people left in the room are Marco, the older brother, Barreda, the second song, and his wife Julio.
Several people were not talking, sitting on the sofa, each doing their own thing.
Just then, Aeneas approached with the fruit.
“Here, have some fruit.” Aeneas put the fruit down and turned his head back to Lucila with a smile, “Miss Floria, eat the fruit, just like at home, don’t be polite”.
Julio, who had been changing the channel with the remote control, suddenly stood up and approached Lucila: “Aeneas, don’t bother, it’s too late for Miss Floria to eat anything.
Only after these words did she turn her head towards Lucila, “Miss Floria, would you mind going for a walk with me?”
Lucila replied with a smile: “Of course I don’t mind.
Is this second sister-in-law coming to your door to kick the bucket?
Julio smiles softly and reaches over to take Lucila’s hand.
Lucila stood up and pretended to dodge it without thinking. Julio’s face didn’t change and he withdrew his hand naturally, with a smile on his face that didn’t reach his eyes.
The two were heading outside when Marco, who had been fiddling with his phone, said: “What are you doing out in the middle of the night?
His comment was clearly directed at Julio.
Julio’s face fell a little and she turned to her husband, Barreda, hoping he would say something for her.
Who would have thought that Barreda would sweep her off her feet, grimace and lower his head.
Lucila notices the unsettling atmosphere and looks down and pretends not to know anything.
Marco looked back at Lucila as if he hadn’t noticed the couple’s abnormality, “Neto should be down soon, aren’t you going to wait for him here?”
Lucila realised that Marco was speaking for her.
It is noticeable that Marco and Neto have a better bond, from their looks to their personalities, both are more alike.
Barreda, on the other hand, bears no resemblance to Marco, except for a slight resemblance to Neto, and is a bit feminine, lacking a little masculinity.
Lucila smiled: “It’s OK, I’m just going for a walk, I’ll be back soon, if Neto comes down, please ask big brother to let him know I’m going out.
A surprised look appeared in Marco’s eyes; Neto had spoken to him in advance and asked him to help Lucila more.
It seems that her fool of a brother was worrying blindly, as his little girl is not afraid of anything at all.
Marco nodded, “Hmm.
When he finished, he looked down, continued fiddling with his phone and, not knowing what he was seeing, frowned slightly and began typing on the screen with a look of annoyance on his face.
Lucila and Julio went out together.
The complex is full of detached villas and is well secured.
The two women left the courtyard and walked outside.
There were not many people on the road because the weather had turned cold.
Neither of the two women spoke first, as if whoever spoke first was detached from her status.
Lucila scratches her head, wanting to know what happened between Neto and Julio.
But, it has to be constant.
Although he had never fought a woman, he had seen Senona’s white lotus once and still had that experience.
The two walked to a shaded area and Julio finally gave in.
“Miss Floria, I know you love Neto very much, but just because he took you into his house doesn’t mean you’re going to marry into the Pastrano family, you know?” Her voice was still warm and soft, as if she were gently admonishing Lucila.
“Although as the saying goes, a sister-in-law is like a mother, but second sister-in-law you should say those things to Neto, whatever the others think or think, it has nothing to do with me, it is Neto and only Neto who has to do with me. ”
I had already heard the conversation between Neto and Julio, and Neto had then said that Julio had no business in his business.
Whatever Neto and Julio’s past, Neto is to be congratulated for his steadfastness, at least for now.
Julio was silent for a few seconds before he spoke: “Miss Floria, you misunderstand me, I’m just …”.
“Lucila!”
At that moment, Neto’s voice came from behind.
Lucila interrupted Julio immediately: “Neto is coming for me, let’s go back”.
Julio was in the shadows, his face slightly changed, but Lucila was still sensitive to the change in his breathing.
Julio is angry.
