Chapter 25: Severo is afraid of the dark
“Hmm?” Severo replied vaguely, his mouth full of noodles.
Sitting across from him, Allyce’s face turned red.
This was what he had eaten. He had eaten the same thing from the same bowl and it had not been bad for him.
Severo looked up and saw her, with an expression of disgust on his face: “What does that look mean? I’m not disgusted by your saliva, why are you behaving like that?
“I’m not.” Allyce stood up with a start and hurried to the bathroom: “I’m going to take a shower.
Standing under the shower, Allyce was still in a daze.
Severo…
Did he really like it?
Suddenly, there was a “pop” as the bathroom light went out and the hot water in the shower gradually lost its temperature and turned cold.
Even though it was summer, Allyce was still shivering from the cold and the soapy water still covered her body. She had no choice but to rinse her body with the cold water in the dark.
“Allyce!”
Severo’s loud voice came from outside the bathroom.
Allyce sped up and rinsed her body, wrapping the bath towel around her out of habit.
“As she spoke, Allyce groped for the door in the dark.
Without waiting for Severo to answer, he opened the bathroom door and was surprised to see a tall, black shadow on the other side of the door. He asked timidly, “Severo?
The dark shadow moved and suddenly moved to embrace her.
Allyce had only a bath towel tied around her; it threatened to fall off as Severo wrapped his arms around her.
“Wait, let go.” Allyce tapped him gently on the shoulder.
Suddenly, Severo lowered his head, sought her lips and kissed her hard.
Allyce was too busy thinking about whether it was okay or not and was surprised by the sudden kiss. She freezes for a moment before she reacts and struggles to break the kiss.
However, he could not match Severo’s strength.
“Severo, what’s wrong with you!” Allyce turned her head to the side and found the opportunity to shout his name.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Severo was stunned for a moment and then suddenly released her.
Before Allyce could breathe a sigh of relief, Severo lifted her horizontally. In the dim white light coming through the window, the bed was vaguely visible.
Severo suddenly threw her on the bed. It didn’t hurt, but she was frightened. She sat up and said fiercely, “Severo Betances, what’s wrong with you? Tell me.
Severo finally spoke in a cold, hoarse voice: “Do your duty”.
“You said you wouldn’t make me.” Allyce groped back towards the corner.
She felt Severo approaching her in the darkness. Soon you will be initiated.
Allyce suddenly thought of something and bit her lower lip: “Are you afraid of the dark?
The air was suddenly silent.
After a long while, Severo finally said calmly: “No”.
Fuck it! It wasn’t so bad before.
“Come here, I’ll hold you and you can sleep. Don’t be afraid. Allyce breathed a sigh of relief. She had hesitated for a long time. It was obvious that she was only acting this way because she was afraid of the dark.
“No, go to sleep.” Severo’s breathing calmed, his voice no longer trembled, as if what had just happened had been Allyce’s hallucination.
Allyce was not foolish enough to believe that it was really her hallucination.
He fumbled with his phone on the bedside table, got out of bed, found the torch by its light and switched it on, placing it on the bedside table. He went back into the bathroom, put on his pyjamas and came out.
He checked that he had turned off the light and that Severo was sleeping.
Allyce was now even more convinced that Severo was afraid of the dark.
He had switched off the torch without waiting for her to come out, just to show that he was not afraid of the dark. stern was alert and thoughtful; normally he would have left the light on for alicia until she came out.
Did he want to keep up appearances, was that why he wouldn’t admit it?
Allyce cautiously climbs onto the bed and slowly approaches Severo, placing a hand on his waist.
Severo pretends to be asleep, not waiting for her to embrace him. He stands there for a moment and then rolls to one side, away from her.
Allyce couldn’t help whispering a laugh. Severo Betances, who was always calm, strong and liked to reason, was afraid of the dark! It puzzled him.
He must have been afraid of being humiliated if he found out, so he did not admit it until the end.
The more Allyce thought about it, the more interesting he found it. He did what he had promised … hugged him and went to sleep.
Nervous, Severo finally said angrily: “Allyce, do you really think I won’t do anything to you?
“No! You are afraid of the dark. If I hold you and you sleep, you won’t be afraid.” Allyce’s tone was mocking.
Severo gritted his teeth and pulled her into his arms, “Now, in this moment, whatever happens, it’s legal. What do you think I’m thinking right now?”
Allyce was silent, not daring to speak again.
…
First thing in the morning, Allyce was woken up by her alarm clock.
The space next to him was cold and empty. Severo was not in the room. He must have left early.
Allyce washed her face and went to look in the kitchen. There was no breakfast.
In the few days she had been living with Severo, she had grown accustomed to him making her breakfast.
These habits were frightening.
After some thought, he knew why Severo had not prepared breakfast for him.
He was still angry because last night she had teased him about being afraid of the dark.
Allyce reflected on her behaviour last night. She shouldn’t have made fun of Severo’s fear of the dark.
However, it was a bit ridiculous for a big man to be afraid of the dark.
You should have invited him to dinner tonight and apologised to him.
Allyce made up her mind and set to work.
He had just sat down at his desk when the director approached him: “Have you read all the files?
Allyce points to one file, separates it from the others and says: “I haven’t read this one. I’ve read all the others.
“In these two days, get to know the company better. In two days, there will be a party. I will take you with me. You must behave well. And he left.
Megan’s heart sank at the thought of what Senona had said earlier; the Nuncio Group had business ties with the Delahoz Group.
She wouldn’t let Richie off easy, and Richie wouldn’t let her off easy.
Let’s think about what happens next.
Allyce pulled out her phone and typed a message: Let’s have dinner tonight.
He then sent it to Severo.
After a long while, Severo answered and Allyce opened it to see the words: I don’t have time.
