Chapter 43
Dan believes that Luz has fallen for his gallantry, but he does not count on the girl’s frontal character, who after the smile, becomes serious and abruptly takes his hand away.
-I know very well who he is, I’ve seen him in the photographs of the house and I’m going to ask him not to take that trust with me again, because we barely know each other.
Gerard looks at her proudly, Dan turns to look at him as Luz goes to the dining room.
-I told you.
-That doesn’t count, you were with us.
Do you want more humiliation? – Gerard arrives at the dining room and sees Charlize – Daughter, let’s wash our hands.
-Yes Daddy.
The girl shakes his hand and tells him how many pancakes have come out for each one, Dan approaches Luz and she sees him with the face of sending him flying.
-Excuse me, miss, we started badly, I didn’t want to give the impression of being a stalker, but the truth is that her beauty dazzled me.
– Please, I’m sure he’s used to going out with more beautiful women than me, you can tell he’s a top- notch womanizer – Luz finishes placing the cutlery and puts the food in the middle –
-You are very difficult to approach.
-Only when a man tries to do it with his intentions.
-According to you, what are my idiots?
-Seduce me, fall for your exploited sympathy and take me to bed, but I tell you from now on, my heart belongs to someone else, one very different from you.
Gerard, who hid behind the door for a few seconds, smiles excited to hear those words, enters with Charlize in his arms and sits her down. Luz takes her chair next to Charlize and he stops her.
-Please, Luz, here – she points to the position next to her and that Darcy previously occupied -.
– But, I must help the princess…
-I can do it, sit next to me. They serve dinner, which is mashed potatoes and lemon chicken, with a Greek salad. Charlize has no problem eating, because her dessert is in front of her and she feels quite motivated.
Meanwhile , Gerard sees the pancakes with dulce de leche and his mouth waters, something he can’t explain, because he clearly doesn’t like dulce de leche.
When finished, Evangeline removes the plates and each one serves two pancakes, Gerard takes two with dulce de leche, because he feels that if he doesn’t try them, he won’t be able to stop thinking about them.
Luz helps herself to four and eats them with such relish that the men are shocked, but Dan is even more surprised when he sees Gerard eating with the same enthusiasm. They’ve been friends for years and she knows he doesn’t like them with that padding.
-This is strange, you don’t like it,
-I also feel strange, but I can’t stop eating them – takes out two more and Charlize laughs – C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
– My daddy discovered another world, Uncle Dan.
– So it seems.
But when he is finishing the third, he feels bad and has to run to the bathroom, where he expels all the dinner.
Luz arrives with him and attends to him as she did before, helps him to his feet, even though he is taller, rinses his mouth and takes a deep breath.
– I can’t believe it, the same thing happened to me yesterday. In the morning I had a hankering for bacon and eggs but ended up throwing it all out.
-What a coincidence, yesterday I also wanted the same thing and it was my breakfast.
Gerard doesn’t understand anything, but he thinks that he’s so connected to Luz that he’s feeling her symptoms… although that doesn’t make sense and he dismisses the idea.
They return to the table, talking about various things. Charlize yawns a couple and Luz tells her to say goodbye to her father and her uncle, then she says good night and they leave her.
They go upstairs singing one of Charlize’s favorite songs and get to her room for the usual routine: bath, dry hair, story and sleep.
When Charlie closes her eyes, Luz feels that her heart is complete. The girl’s hand rests on her belly and she imagines what it would be like if her baby were Gerard’s.
-Surely he would already have his own room full of things and would not detach himself from me.
