Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

Savanna was also shocked that Nico, who loved Micaela so much, could do such a terrible thing to her.

Savanna looked at the limp Micaela and couldn’t help but look into her red eyes and said comfortingly, “Miss Micaela, I know my brother has hurt you so much now, but he really loves you and I have never seen him so out of control and so irrational. But don’t worry, I will do everything I can to convince my brother to let you out of here. Miss Micaela, no matter what happens with you and my brother in the end, you will always be the sister-in-law I identify with, I identified with you when you gave me the parent conference, I don’t want you to be separated from my brother.”

Micaela tugged at the corners of her pale lips, looked tenderly at Savanna and said, “Savanna, I don’t blame your brother, and I don’t … I know what will happen to your brother and me in the future, before, maybe I could have, but now, really, I can’t even look straight at him, I don’t even have the courage to look at him.”

Once upon a time, Micaela did not believe in destiny, but now she has to leave everything she feels with Nico to the wheel of fate.

In the future, it’s up to fate.

Pastora and Savanna were silent with Micaela for a while longer. When a person like Micaela is desperate and sad, it is superfluous for others to say anything more, Pastora said nothing more, knowing it was useless to talk more.

As she was leaving, Pastora hugged Micaela and said, “Micaela, you have to hold on, living well is more important than anything else.”

Pastora fears that Micaela will not be able to think clearly and will do something out of the ordinary.

Micaela has a mood much like that of a sick person.

After Pastora and Savanna left the penthouse, Pastora did not immediately leave Villa Luna Bay, but went directly to the master bedroom on the second floor of the villa.

Pastora burst into the room red-eyed and furious, snatching Nico’s hand and smashing it against the floor anyway.

Even Nico was caught off guard.

Pastora grabbed Nico’s shirt collar and scolded him, “Nico! You’ve been violent with her! You’re a man! You raped her in marriage, didn’t you? You’re an asshole.”

Pastora raised her hand and slapped Nico hard across the face.Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Punching Nico in the face, all the way.

Nico’s expressionless face was unmistakably clouded, and Pastora’s hand hung trembling next to his leg.

It wasn’t that she wasn’t afraid of Nico, she was terrified of him, and that slap now was nothing more than an impulsive act.

But now she was afraid Nico would chop her up and feed her to the fish.

But what’s done is done, Pastora thought she had justified the slap and looked at Nico with a forced air: “What, what do you want, I tell you that if you hurt Micaela again, I, I’ll call the police!”.

Nico was indifferent, he didn’t even look at her in the same way, he just pushed her arm away, keeping his eyes on the pieces of paper scattered on the floor as he frowned slightly and said, “This is my puzzle with Micaela, that you broke.”

Her voice was only slightly displeased, calm to the point where no emotion could be heard, quiet and self-conscious.

Then she knelt down to pick up the pieces of puzzle paper that were scattered on the floor.

Pastora froze, looking at Nico with a wooden stare, sensing that something was wrong, but what was wrong, she couldn’t say.

Only that, going in the direction she foresaw, Nico should have descended upon her with a thunderous fury, even if it wasn’t impossible to shoot her dead.

Therefore, she had kept her hand in. She had asked Savanna to accompany her because she feared Nico would cut her down in a fit of rage.

But from the time she came to see Micaela, until now when she slapped Nico, Nico not only didn’t try to kill her, he didn’t even punch her.

From start to finish, Nico didn’t even bother her like an emotionless machine.

Pastora stiffened there.

Until, Nico bent down and came to her feet, casually reminding, “Take your foot off, you’re stepping on my puzzle.”

Pastora was so startled that she pulled her feet away, looking at Nico as if he were a monster, “That … you, you … what’s the use of your explaining it now, do you know how miserable Micaela is because of you? Do you know how pitiful Micaela is locked up in that little attic because of you, it’s been so long since we’ve seen her, she was already so thin, now she’s even thinner! There’s no heating in that shitty attic, La Ciudad Santa is very cold in winter, you’ll freeze her to death!

Pastora’s words, before she could finish, Nico said while looking down and concentrating on the puzzle, “I’ve asked the workers to put the heating and fresh air system, it won’t be cold for her.”

“…” Pastora was, for a moment, surprisingly speechless.

Seeing that Nico was not angry, Pastora was emboldened and coughed slightly, asking, “What about the food, Micaela has lost a lot of weight lately, she must not have eaten well, didn’t you have a good meal to go over?”

Nico was still not looking up, busy with the puzzle he was holding, but he turned to Pastora again, “I had the maids bring a regular number of five meals a day, all her favorite dishes and desserts.”

“…” Pastora gaped even more dumbfounded and said, in a moment of irony, “If that’s so, why do you keep her locked up?”

Nico’s long, slender, puzzle fingers, gave a slight tug, and after a moment of silence, he said without emotion, “Anything short of leaving me is not allowed, it’s up to her.”

“But, but why do you want me to … do that when everything is left between you?”

“Get out.” Nico ordered in a cold, menacing voice.

“…”

Pastora, now out of anger, did not dare to fight Nico, whose patience was clearly running out, and left, trembling and gritting her teeth.

Pastora left the villa, not feeling well, and asked Savanna, “Savanna, do you think your brother really loves Micaela?”

Savanna mused, “I’m not sure, I don’t know much about my brother’s relationship with Miss Micaela because whenever I ask him, my brother says that children should stay out of the affairs of adults. However, I feel that my brother really cares about Miss Micaela, and in the past seven years, my brother has only had one girlfriend, Miss Micaela, and my brother had never dated any girlfriend for that long.”

“And … my brother’s character is irrepressible, in fact, few women can subdue him, Miss Micaela in these seven years, he always let my brother wait, although my brother is reluctant, but in the end he did not wait for her, and also with her he got his license. ”

“Ah, yes, my brother was a non-matrimonialist, a non-matrimonialist with a very firm attitude, exactly why he was a non-matrimonialist and what encouragement he got, I don’t know, but you see, in the end my brother still got licensed with Miss Micaela. So my brother would have been miserably in love with Miss Micaela, otherwise my brother would not have slept in the marriage grave.”

Pastora nodded thoughtfully, only to sense that Micaela wasn’t the only one who was sick, Nico seemed to be sick too.

Right now, Nico was acting like an indifferent lunatic, she slapped him and he went to pick the puzzle off the soles of her feet without any reaction.

The puzzle was still being put together with such concentration, as if it was more important than everything else around it.

Pastora said, “It’s not easy for your brother either, Savanna, you can enlighten your brother more if you don’t mind, I’m afraid he’s dragging Micaela down with him.”

Savanna: “…”
