People like them have time to spend on things that make sense.


    Little things, like doing homework, are done for them from an early age.


    And the message in Marco’s critical eye is that she is not good enough for Neto.


    It is clear that Marco and Neto care about each other, despite their seemingly awkward rtionship.


    In Marco’s opinion, perhaps sensing that Luc was special in Neto’s heart, nothing was ever said to her.


    It was precisely this indifferent attitude that provoked Luc’s first feelings of inferiority, and she realised that the gap between them was like a chasm.


    But what is the problem here?


    He loves Neto as a person.


    A te of noodles and a tray of vegetables, which Neto washed in a jiffy.


    Turning his head, he saw Luc staring at him.


    His hand was clenched into a fist and he coughed dryly against his lips before he began to roll down his rolled-up sleeves.


    But because he was too nervous, he didn’t leave it half the time.


    Luc approached him, pped his hand away, helped him pull down his sleeve and asked in a light tone: “Why haven’t you been back for six months?


    Neto didn’t expect her to ask him this and froze for a moment, his face sagging slightly, but he didn’t know how to speak.


    “Are you sure you don’t want to talk about it?” Luc straightened his cuffs and her fingertips tickled his arm a little.


    Neto pursed his lips, noting her downcast but stubborn look, knowing he was giving her an advantage.


    But, I really couldn’t say it.


    Was he to be told that he had been threatened by the old man to stay one step away from Ciudad del Cielo and that the old man would take action against Luc?


    His silence chilled Luc’s spirits.


    Luc put her arms around him and asked: “Did it feel good to be out of the loop all this time?


    During this time, she refused to answer Neto’s calls, half because she was very angry and half because there was an element of gambling in her.


    But, in the end, it didn’tst that long.


    Neto lowers his eyes and puts his hand in his pocket.


    He touched the cigarette case and, after two seconds of hesitation, took it out and said: “I’m going to smoke a couple of cigarettes.


    With that, he turned on his heel and walked out with his cigarette.


    The two started a cold war.


    …


    When Allyce got married, Luc took a few days off work and then suddenly returned after calling her boss for permission.


    He thought the stereotypical supervisor would disagree, but to his surprise, the supervisor agreed without saying anything.


    It’s Monday and Luc has to go to work.


    After breakfast, he took Alonzo outside.


    Neto came to the door just in time and got out of the car and looked at Luc: “Get in”.


    Luc was silent as she led Alonzo to the car, and as she passed the bus stop, she spoke: “Stop the car.


    “What’s wrong?” Neto looked back at him in disbelief.


    Luc opened the car door immediately and got out: “Take Alonzo to the nursery, I’ll take the bus to the office.


    That said, he headed for the bus stop.


    There was a bus passing by the office, so he flipped the coin and got on.Belonging ? N?velDram/a.Org.


    Neto’s grip on the steering wheel tightened and tightened, his face grew grim.


    Alonzo sat in the child safety seat in the back and blinked, thinking how bad Uncle Pastrano looked now.


    …


    Luc arrived at the office, cancelled her leave and went to work.


    During the lunch break, he wrote his resignation and handed it to his boss.


    As in the case of his leave of absence, the supervisor obliged him without saying anything.


    Luc realised that this superior, who had taken over after Neto’s departure, had actually been sent by the Pastrano family.


    People from the Pastrano family began to intervene and their rtionship with Neto.


    Only now they’re only going after Neto, not her yet, probably because they don’t think it’s necessary to go after her.


    Although his family was considered wealthy in that small county back home, in the eyes of the people of the Pastrano family, he was a small and insignificant actor, no big deal.


    He had packed his things and left when Neto’s call came.


    There was a touch of anger in his tone: “Luc, where are you? Why have you resigned?”


    “Because with a new life n, of course I have to take action. Luc replied in a forceful tone.


    “Send me the address and I’lle and see you right away”.


    Neto finished, not even wanting to listen to Luc’s answer, and hung up the phone in a domineering manner.


    Luc wrinkled her nose, now aware of the tantrum towards her.


    She thought that perhaps being friends with Allyce for too long had caused her to be a wimp too.


    So he sent the address to Neto anyway.


    I was in a coffee shop not far from the office and Neto arrived quickly.


    As soon as Neto approached her and threw the car keys on the table, he asked her loudly: “Why did you leave it?


    “I already told you the answer once on the phone, I have a new life n, so I don’t want to work at thepany”. She looked at him with a look of indifference.


    Netoughed angrily, “A new life n? Is it to go back to your home county and inherit the department store your parents owned?”


    Luc raised her chin and tapped it on the table: “Yes, not only will I return home to inherit my parents’ department store, I will find a man to marry!


    “Luc!”


    “Although our family only has a few department stores and does a small business, our family is not soplicated.


    Neto looked back and heard the deeper meaning of her words.


    He asked: “What do you know?


    “What do I know? I don’t know anything. But he seemed to be saying: “I know everything, but I’m holding back”.


    However, Neto’s expression changed abruptly: “Has anyone approached you?


    “Who is it, no one is looking for me.


    The more Luc denied it, the more Neto felt that the old man had sent for Luc.


    He stared at Luc, his face tense, “What did they say to you? Did they do something to you?”


    Luc stared at Neto for a long moment before speaking: “Your family forced you to break up with me, didn’t they?


    Then Neto realised that he had been set up by Luc.


    As the deadline given by the old man is about to expire, he is a bit scaredtely and the slightest breeze can make him nervous for half a day.


    So when he hears that Luc has resigned and hears her say, in a parting shot, that her family is not soplicated, he naturally thinks of the old man.


    After all, the old man had given his word that if he did not separate himself from Luc, the old man himself would take action.


    Luc has put it that way, and Neto has nothing to hide.


    He nodded, picked up his ss of water and drank it, pursed his lips before saying, “This time, he’s going to send me back to Cloud Cit so I can break up with you.”


    Lucughed: “So you never went back to Cloud Cit because your family wouldn’t let you?


    Neto’s eyes turned angry and he pouted, “Are you so happy that I can’te to Cloud Cit?


    “Stupid.” Luc gave him a nk stare.


    Neto reached out to rub her hair: “Luc, you’re all over me after a few days of ignoring you!


    Luc taunted him: “If I climb on top of you, will your family skin me alive?


    Who knows, Neto’s face suddenly sank and he said in a deep voice: “Don’t talk nonsense!


    Luc asked rhetorically: “What, your family can skin me alive?
