Chapter 74
Chapter 7 4
Everything was going well, far away the witches, there was only love in that mansion.
The weeks had passed slowly but happily. Luz’s belly was already a little bulge and Gerard was more
than excited because that night was the engagement party, after that they had agreed on three more
weeks for the wedding.
Matías had confirmed that he would arrive with his parents, because they did not want to miss that event,
they were willing to talk to Luz to apologize and make themselves avable for whatever was necessary,
including taking care of their grandchildren so that she could study.
And with grandchildren they talked about the baby on the way and about Charlize.
Apparently Matías had told them wonders about the little princess, although he had only seen her a
couple of times.
-Highly strung? -asks Dan entering Gerard’s office when he is about to go home
-Yes, especially because we are nowhere near finishing our investigation… -he looks at that photo on the
desk where the three of them appear smiling and the other one where he goes out alone with Margaret-,
I still don’t understand where my mother got that she had a lover, but I think that doesn’t matter anymore.
-Only someone who had information could tell him, I’ve already told you… and the only one who can
have it is Darcy.
Gerard leaves that portrait on the desk with a tired sigh, especially since he knows he’s right.
But is it true that his wife had a lover?
Perhaps that information, after so long, is no longer useful. But more than five years ago it might mean
that he wouldn’t have mourned his loss to such an extent.
-Anyway, I’m not going to ask. Now Luz is my present and my future, I don’t want to think about the
past… not today.
Dan nods and walks his friend to the elevator, both of themughing at Dan’s quips and who he’s going
with. -I swear I wear it just because I want to bother you.
-Did you seriously invite Alpha? Can you imagine a mobster in my house?
-No one would know. Only the men he trusts are supposed to know his face… and you.
-Are you crazy!
– Anyway, the girl is not bad and she told me that she would look for the most demure dress for tonight.
-I want to see that, see you in a few hours.
Gerard leaves the building and drives to his house, his home, that refuge that Luz has transformed it
into. He can’t help but stop smiling, knowing that all his friends and the circle in which he moves will
already know that he will marry again makes him feel nervous, but he knows that it is a way to protect
the family from he.
Because in this way they will know that nobody touches Luz Méndez and neither do their children .
When he crosses the door, he can see the transformation that his wife has made in the house, she has
had the furniture removed from the living room, which has been reced by a U-shaped table with a long
white tablecloth and a path of pink colour.
The ssware already rests on another table, and although there are only about fifty guests, the sses
easily serve two hundred. She sees Evangeline walk by with one of the boys, as she gives them
instructions, when she sees him she smiles at him and walks over to him.
-Good afternoon sir. The queen and princess are getting pretty in Luz’s old room.
-Thank you, Evangeline.
He heads into the room with that smile that disarms even the seams of a jean. He knocks on the door
and Luz tells him toe in, when she peeks through the door she stays…lelo.
Luz wears a gray dress with pink flowers, the yoke is silk and the skirt is tulle, it reaches her knees in the
front part, but in the back it falls a few centimeters lower. She has tied her long hair in a simple, loose
braid, which falls down the side.
Charlize, she’s wearing the same dress, the same hairstyle, and they both look just gorgeous.
“I can’t believe it,” he says, approaching them. I must call God, because two angels escaped him and
they are in front of me.
He kisses Charlize on the forehead, who takes the opportunity to give her a huge hug, then goes up to
kiss Luz with all the love he has for her, which is infinite.
-Do you really like?
-They look beautiful… it was worth skipping lunch at home, because this surprise is… you left me
speechless.
-Now, you must go to get ready, because in two hours the guests begin to arrive.
-Of course, although I’m going to feel like a beggar by his side. Charlizeughs at Gerard and hugs him.
-Daddy, you’re very handsome, you’re going to look cute… although not as much as my Matías .
-Uncle Matías – he tells him -. He is Luz’s brother.
From N?velDrama.Org.
-Mmm… – she says pouting, which is funny to Luz and almost to Gerard’s sleep -,
He leaves there to get ready, locks himself in the shower and lets the water wash away everything in his
head, from the desire to kill a certain police officer to the fear that things will not turn out as expected.
When he goes out, he takes his new suit for the asion, now he understands why Luz gave him that
gray tie with pink lines. He looks at himself in the mirror, sighs a little and walks out, ready to finish the
preparations for the evening.
Luz and Charlize are downstairs, he finds his wife, scolding Evangeline because she hasn’t changed,
since she will be at the party as a guest, both Luz and Rafael gave her that category for tonight, although
Rafael wants to give her a higher category in her life, rather than apanying her friend’s
engagement.
One that is closer to his left pectoral.
The couple hold hands, looking at how beautiful everything has turned out, while Charlize asks
one of the waiters if you can give him a piece of brownie.
An hourter, the first guests begin to arrive, the first surprise is Dan walking arm in arm with Alpha…
Gerard knows because he knows her, but she makes a gesture with her index finger to her lips so that
he does n’t say nothing. Heughs, because he has immediately realized what is happening, Dan does
not know who he has arrived with. And so, the engagement party begins with the first surprise. We will
have many more, several happy, emotional andical, but only one will be a real disaster, the one that
will mark the lives of a few people in the ce.
