When Estre Berrocal awoke the next morning, Pa Rouco was still awake, sleeping soundly with her little legs crossed over herp and one arm across her stomach.


    Estre Berrocalughed at her annoying sleeping posture, and said she was an adult and not a child, but what part of her sleeping posture was not childlike?


    Estre Berrocal cautiously turned away from her, got out of bed, and then went to the bathroom to wash.


    Thinking about it, it felt indefinably strange to go see Severo Laris now.


    After all, Paulita only has a rtionship with Severo Laris, not a marriage, so why meet the parents?


    Estre Berrocal would have approved of Severo Laris if she had really known him, and almost identally fell in love with Paulita and Severo Laris.


    You can’t see it.


    But Paulita’s affair with Severo Laris was something she had to tell Adam Rouco for it to be true.


    But there’s no hurry, it’s better to talk about it in person when we get home, otherwise Adam Rouco will get angry and fly straight to Imperial, which will be hard to deal with.


    His main mission this time was just toe to Imperial to catch up with udi and then go home with Paulita.


    …


    Without the task of meeting Severo Laris, Paulita was dragged behind Estre Berrocal and Tia udi for shopping and afternoon coffee.


    She had not contacted Severo Laris for two or three days in a row, and he seemed to be busy with something and had not contacted her.


    The day Estre Berrocal and Paulita left Imperial, they were taken to the airport by the Vasconcellos family car.


    Before leaving, udi said to her, “Why don’t you stay at Imperial for a few more days, it turns out Angelo ising back from winter vacation in a few days and he and Paulita haven’t seen each other in a while.”


    Estre Berrocal smiled and politely declined, “The tickets are all bought, I’ll catch up with you the next time Ie to see Paulita at the Imperial. ”


    udi smiled slightly, stroked Paulita’s little head and said, “Paulita, you’ve beening to Imperial almost all year and you don’te to Aunt udi’s for dinner. When youe to school next term, you cane to udi’s whenever you want on Saturdays and weekends. you know what?”


    Paulita nodded willingly, “Well, I will definitelye to Aunt udi’s for dinner next term. ”


    “You and Angelo, develop more of a rtionship…”


    At the mention of the subject, Estre Berrocal deliberately nced at the time on her watch and interrupted udi with a smile, “Spike, it’s almost time to check in.”


    udi said, “Then go, we’ll meet next time.”


    “Right.”


    When Estre Berrocal had dragged Paulita to the front door, she said, “Your Aunt udi would be devastated if she knew you had a boyfriend now and it wasn’t her son.”


    “Angelo and I have always been simply furry children, and it’s you adults who always put us together.”


    Estre Berrocalughed, “I didn’t put you together with Angelo, and your father even less so.”


    Paulita frowned a little and said, “But I feel a little guilty that Tia udi has been so good to me.”


    Estre Berrocal squealed and pinched her little nose, “You still feel guilty, little girl.”


    When I boarded the ne, it had not yet taken off.


    Pa Rouco was still fiddling with her phone.


    A flight attendant came over and reminded her, “Miss, the ne is taking off soon, please turn off your cell phone and any other electronicmunication devices.”


    “Oh, I’ll turn it off in a minute.”


    Estre Berrocal looked at her, “Contacting Severo?”.


    Pa Rouco texted Severo Laris: “I’ll let him know I’ming back to The Holy City. ”


    Estre Berrocal raised an eyebrow, “By the way, where is he from?”.


    “He’s also from La Ciudad Santa. ”


    Estre Berrocal recalled, “Ah, I remember, you went back with him on thest national holiday, didn’t you? He even called you then to tell you he was home, but I got that call.”


    After Pa Rouco sent the message, she waited for a while and the person did not answer, but the ne was about to take off again, so she had to turn off her phone.


    “Estre, aren’t I supposed to be with Severo?”


    Estre Berrocal was slightly bbergasted, “Why are you asking that all of a sudden, hadn’t you said you liked him?”


    Pa Rouco sighed, separated her small shoulders and said, “Estre, would it disappoint you and Daddy if I grew up to be different from what you adults expect me to be, in your eyes?”


    Estre Berrocal reached out, stroked his little head and said at length, “Why? Your father and I have never wanted to control your life or make you grow up qualitatively, even if you grow up differently than we expected, as long as it is not in a bad direction, even if it is different we will ept it because you are our daughter.”


    Pa Rouco looked at her with a ttened little mouth and said, “Daddy won’t let me fall in love, but just now I do, will Daddy be disappointed because of this, and will he be even more disappointed because the person I like is Severo Laris?”


    Estre Berrocal smiled softly, “Is your father that shallow in your eyes? You are the apple of his eye and he will forgive you no matter what you have done, let alone fall in love, and as long as you don’t do anything out of ce, your father won’t meddle.”


    “Because I grew up in the eyes of many uncles and aunts, Uncle Esteban, Aunt Dulcina, Uncle Montrelle, Aunt udi, and they all thought I would be with Angelo. ”


    Estre Berrocal curved her lips, “But things in this world never go as nned, life always goes wrong in that one in a million. There was a time when your father and I fell out of favor with a lot of people, but after going round and round, I still stand firm with your father. If you’re happy with yourself, what does it matter if others are unhappy?”


    “But I don’t want to bother you and dad.”


    “Your father and I won’t be unhappy as long as the person you like, who treats you well, is not one-tenth of a bad person and is a healthy, normal person. If your father and I don’t care, as far as Uncle Esteban, Aunt Dulcina, Uncle Montrelle and Aunt udi being unhappy with you, we have to care even less.”


    Pa Rouco, red-eyed, threw herself into the arms of Estre Berrocal, “Estre.”


    Estre Berrocal patted her on the back and said with a smile, “Why are you crying, Paulita? So these growing pains are not enough to affect your pursuit of life. You are luckier than the average person because you have more than enough opportunities and qualifications to pursue your dreams, the life you like to live, even the kind of person you want to be, even if you don’t try hard. A lot of people don’t get to go and choose, but you do.”Content rights belong to N?velDrama.Org.


    “I know, it’s the opportunity Dad created for me.”


    “All your father expects of you is that you live a happy and joyful life; in his realm of thought, no other trivial matter is as important as this one.”


    “Star, thank you, for putting yourself in my ce.”


    “I am your mother, of course I have to take care of you.”
