Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

Neto is a little tired from the morning’s journey, so he leans over Lucila’s body.

Lucila nudged him and whispered: “Go to bed when you are tired, don’t lean on me, Auntie is watching …”.

As if he hadn’t heard what she said, Neto simply stretched out his long legs and lay down, resting his head in her lap, and fell asleep.

Alanzo pulled a blanket from somewhere and handed it to Lucila.

Lucila took it with some embarrassment and covered it up for Neto.

Neto’s breathing soon stabilised.

Lucila looked up and smiled awkwardly at Alanzo.

What to do? The first time I met my mother-in-law, I showed love to her son in front of her …

Would her mother-in-law think she was too unrestrictive?

She picked up her cup of tea and took a sip, saying dryly, “You look so young, Auntie.”

Although the words are flattering, Alanzo looks younger than his real age.

Alanzo smiled and said, “I married Innocent when I was eighteen. At that time, marriage was based on parental consent and pairing, and I had been married to him since we were children, and when I reached adulthood, it was the logical thing to do, and the following year, I gave birth to Marco. ”

Lucila was a little apprehensive, she knew what Alanzo was going to say.

“I also thought I was going to live with Innocent for the rest of my life. “A look of excitement crossed his face as he said this.

“But it was only in my tenth year of marriage to him that I found out he had an ex-girlfriend whom he loved very much and a son who was only a year older than Neto and a year younger than Marco”.

Lucila picks up the teacup in front of her and is about to drink it when Alanzo takes it from her before she can.

He looked at Lucila and said: “This cup of tea is cold, pour a hot one”.

Then she poured the cold tea and gave Lucila a new cup.

Lucila took a sip of her hot tea, which put her mind at ease.

I couldn’t imagine what Alanzo was thinking at that moment.

In the past, women were relatively less independent than they are today.

And Alanzo must have been a very obedient and well-behaved girl when she was young, married to a husband who had been assigned to her since she was a child and thought that was it for life, only to have a change of heart that blew a hole in her world and poured a storm.

The curtain of peace and calm rises to reveal the rugged side of life.

A military and political family like the Pastrano family would not have made it easy for them to divorce, and Alanzo had to go through many trials and tribulations to lead the enviable life he has today.

There is no happiness in the world that comes empty-handed. Whatever you get, you have to give.

Alanzo’s face was kind: “I’m sorry to meet you for the first time and tell you about these old stories from the previous generation”.

Lucila shook her head, “Thank you very much for telling me that”.

Alanzo did not say much more about these things, but merely recounted them.

At the end, he looked at Lucila with a serious expression and said “Neto is the youngest son of The Pastrano family, but he is the one who has received the least care. Marco is the next member of The Pastrano family, so naturally everyone pays attention to him, and his second brother, who is also Innocent’s beloved wife, had given birth to him, so Innocent was very attached to him from an early age, while Neto, the youngest, on the other hand, had very little attention, otherwise he would not have been such an imbecile before.”

Lucila was slightly stunned and said: “He still has you, you take care of him”.

“Although I am still his mother, I am no longer Mrs. Pastrano, and although I can still care for him and love him, it is more than I can do ….”

He paused and looked fondly at Neto: “From now on, he will have you, you will be the closest of friends, together for life, and he will never be alone again.

Lucila’s heart was moved and she didn’t know what to say, but she nodded firmly.

He looked down, reached out and touched Neto’s head.

Being born into a prominent family is not always a blessing.

For a person, lack of affection can become a chasm in the heart that is difficult to fill. A ravine.

She had never wanted so much to marry Neto and form a happy little family with him.

There may be bumps and battles, but at least it is a warm home that we care for with all our hearts.

…

This time, Neto slept a little harder.

When I woke up, there was no one else in the tea room and it was early evening outside the window.

The tea table is lit with soothing and refreshing incense.

The heating was on and he lifted the blanket and sat down, reaching up to wipe the thin sweat from his brow before getting up and leaving.

“Mmm, this is delicious!”

“Try some of this one too to see …”

He followed the sound into the kitchen and from a distance saw Lucila tasting the food with chopsticks in her hand.

Alanzo is at the table setting the plates, her husband Tadeo has returned at some point and is cooking in the kitchen with a spatula in his apron, looking at Lucila as he stirs the food and asking, “How does it taste?”

Lucila cracked up, her eyes narrowed with a smile, “It’s super delicious!”

Alanzo looked up and saw Neto and spoke: “Wake up from your nap, go and wash your hands and soon you will be ready to eat”.

Lucila heard the sound and took another strip of chicken on her plate, followed it with her hand underneath and approached Neto: “Try this, it’s better than anything I’ve eaten in the restaurant”.

Neto looked at Lucila’s greasy mouth and was filled with disgust, but he ducked his head and ate the chicken strips she put in it.

When Lucila saw him eating, she was quick to ask, “How was he?

Neto pinched his nose and headed for the kitchen, approaching Tadeo and shouting, “Uncle Tadeo. ”

Tadeo is a real northern man, tall, with big eyebrows and a somewhat naïve look: “You didn’t tell me you were coming back, I didn’t even buy much food.

Neto lost his smile: “There’s enough for several meals, don’t get too busy, Lucila and I are leaving tomorrow and we suddenly wanted to come and see you and mum.

Every time he came, Thaddeus got like this and hated to have a whole banquet to entertain him, as he had done since he was a child.

Tadeo smiled back and said no more.

As we ate, Thaddeus continued to serve Lucila’s food and, seeing that she was eating happily, he said with some sadness: “Alaric doesn’t know when he’ll be back either.

Alanzo gave him an expressionless look, “Alaric only came back for two days a fortnight ago, and here she is reading about hair again, she’s on internship, of course she’s busy.”

Thaddeus’ brow furrowed: “And I wonder if he’s doing well at work.

Lucila knew it was, the Alaric they were talking about, was her daughter Alaric.

Neto gave Lucila a stick of chicken strips and said: “Alarico also likes Uncle Cheng’s fried chicken strips.

There was a subtle smile in his eyes as he said this, thinking that he liked this sister very much.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
