Lucughed a little and said, “What’s he going to do to me, he just says I’m not good enough for you and won’t let me marry into the Pastrano family, it’s not like he’s going to do anything to me”.


    Neto’s voice was a little gritty: “You think I’m going to congratte you on your optimism?


    Luc scoffed and reassured him, “Okay, there’s no rush for this, anyway I can’t like your family all of a sudden, I’m calling you for something else, your second brother he … doesn’t hit women, right?”


    Neto’s voice sank for a moment: “What’s wrong? What happened? I’ll be right back.


    When he finished, there was a moment of silence on the other end of the line, and Luc could hear him talking to someone else, so quietly that she didn’t really hear what he was saying.


    Then he said into the phone: “I’ll be right back, are you OK?


    “I’m fine.” It wasn’t clear whether he was so nervous for her, or for Julio.


    After listening to Julio, he realised that Neto and Julio had a past.


    It also saved Neto’s life.


    …


    Neto has returned quickly.


    Lucy back on the sofa and had barely finished a game when Neto pushed open the door and rushed in.


    He ran straight to Luc and grabbed her by the shoulders, watching her closely, and was relieved to see that she was indeed fine.


    Luc immediately spoke up, “Don’t talk yet, don’t bother me in the game or I’ll lose!”


    Neto rubbed his head in disgust, tossing his hair: “The game is more important than me!


    Luc, with both hands clenching her phone to y a game, had no time for him, so she cajoled: “You’re important, you’re the most important”.


    Although he knew Luc was just saying that to cajole him, Neto was d.


    Patiently, she went back to brushing Luc’s hair with her own hands.


    By the time he had finished with Luc’s hair, she had finished the game.


    Neto picked up his phone and put it aside: “Tell me, what’s wrong with my second brother, what did he say? What did he say?”


    “Your second sister-inw said something not very nice, he’s probably angry, I saw him look quite pale.” Luc frowned slightly at the mention.


    Neto sniffed, his whole body rxed and he leaned back, his long arms stretched out and hooked Luc between his, kissing her before saying, “You called me just for that, you’re a couple, whatever you do, what’s it got to do with us?”


    Luc reached up and fiddled with the buttons on her cor and said absently, “You want to know what your second sister-inw said to upset your second brother?”


    Neto’s body stiffened for a moment before he said in a tone of indifference: “What’s there to say about that, there are usually many reasons why you piss me off.


    Sensing the evasiveness in Neto’s tone, Luc smiled tenderly at him, tilted her head and kissed him on the chin.


    Neto ducked his head to kiss her back, but Luc stopped him from kissing her with a finger on his lips.


    Neto looked puzzled as Luc whispered, “Julio,” she said, “would you marry me if you wouldn’t even marry her?


    Neto’s gaze fell as quickly as his words.


    “Luc, you …”


    Luc got up from his arms and smoothed her clothes, her voice calm, “She said this and Barreda heard it, you’d better go and see if they’re all right now”.


    When he finished, he sat to one side and continued to y with his phone.Content is property of N?velDrama.Org.


    What he said earlier to Conrado was not really a talk.


    She was the only daughter in the family, and her father was quite unproductive before he got married, and only after he got married and had a daughter did he start working hard to earn money, and in his words, he could not let his daughter suffer.


    She is totally spoilt at home.


    Although she had told her parents that she had a boyfriend, she had not dared to mention Neto in detail.


    Once Neto’s name is known, her father, who loves his daughter to death, will undoubtedly try to discover Neto.


    When the timees, Neto’s old pink past will surely be too much to hide.


    His parents would really dislike Neto.


    He could not have known his parents better.


    Luc had barely finished a game when she heard Neto’s voice sounding outside.


    “Aneneas, call the doctor!”


    As soon as she heard this, Luc didn’t bother to y along, switched off her phone and got up to leave.


    When Neto saw her leave, he approached her, slightly relieving her tense face: “Stay in your room and don’t worry about anything else.


    Luc nodded, still asking: “What is it, who is hurt?


    “It’s Barreda who’s hurt, I’m going to go and check first, I’ll be back soon,e in”. Neto didn’t have time to exin anything, so he pushed her into the room.


    Luc had to return to her room.


    There was a lot of noise outside for a while, but it soon died down.


    Luc looked out of the window and saw two cars driving away.


    Did it hurt a lot?


    He thought Barreda would hit Julio, but it was Barreda who was injured.


    …


    Neto said he would be back soon, but when he returned it was already dark.


    The Pastrano family is no more than Aeneas apart from her.


    Aeneas prepared dinner for him and kept his eyes on the door.


    Luc, alone and with little appetite, ate casually and also headed for the door, still without Neto outside.


    He advised Aeneas: “Aeneas, go and sit down for a while, aren’t you tired of pacing up and down like this?


    “Unfortunately, the second young master is so badly injured and is said to be in aa, that boy’s character is a bit extreme, but his heart is not bad … I used to, ah, actually, be a bit biased against him too …”


    Aeneas said this, as if he realised what he had said wrong, and immediately fell silent.


    Luc deliberated and asked timidly: “It seems to me that Neto has a deeper bond with his older brother…”.


    Aeneas hesitated and sighed: “That’s for sure, the third master and the first master are brothers of the same mother, the second master and they don’t share the same mother”.


    Luc said thoughtfully: “So that’s what happened”.


    No wonder, Marco and Neto are a bit more affectionate and Barreda and Marco don’t look much alike.


    This would exin a lot.


    There is no doubt that of the three brothers of the Pastrano family, Marco was groomed as the heir, and must have been born to Innocent’s wife.


    Marco and Neto are brothers, and Barreda is older than Neto, which means that Inocencio cheated on her in the marriage. Cheating?


    I can’t believe that even such a strict person can have an affair.


    And now the Pastrano family has no lover, and what has happened in between, Luc is certainly curious, but she knows that Aeneas won’t tell her.


    After all, this should be considered the secret of the Pastrano family.


    Luc was deep in thought when the sound of a car started up in front of the door.
