Chapter 762: Things that work
Innocent’s whole body reeled at Marco’s words.
He looked at Marcus in disbelief, not expecting his eldest son, whom he had always held in high esteem, to speak to him in such a way.
Not caring what the others might think, Marco finished and headed straight upstairs.
Barreda already regretted Neto when he sided with Inocencio over the marriage of Barreda and Julio.
From a very young age, Innocent was very strict with him.
As the eldest son of the Pastrano family, he was to carry the future prosperity of the Pastrano family, and in every respect Marco demanded the best of him.
He remembers being badly wounded on his first mission and waking up to see his mother Alanzo at his bedside, while Innocent was too busy working and did not visit him.
Innocent did not appear until he had fully recovered from his injuries.
Of the three brothers, Innocent only seems like a real father when it comes to Barreda.
Over the years, he has gone a little into debt to Neto in order to be a worthy heir, and this time, come what may, he will not face Neto again.
…
Lucila followed Neto to the door of the Pastrano family before asking him in a daze: “Are you breaking up with Tio Pastrano?
“The Pastrano family is the same with or without me anyway, so what’s the point of keeping it?”
Neto seems unconcerned, but Lucila knows he really cares.
Lucila paused.
Neto turned his head to look at her: “Why don’t you leave?
“Go back, go back and apologise to your father, he will forgive you.” Lucila took his hand with a serious look on her face.
Neto froze for a moment, then reached out with both hands and squeezed his face.
Lucila shrugged her shoulders impatiently and he laughed, stretching his arm around her shoulders, “What nonsense! Come on.
Lucila frowned at him with a hint of annoyance in her tone: “Neto!”
“I don’t need his forgiveness. Neto’s face sank as he took a deep breath and said, “Even if I went back and asked him for forgiveness, he would only think he was right and would be even more determined to get me to divorce you.”
At Neto’s words, Lucila was stunned and said nothing more.
“All right, let’s go.”
Lucila nodded and asked, with some curiosity: “Where are we going?
“City of Heaven is so big, what’s the fear of not having a place to stay?”
…
Neto is a native of Ciudad del Cielo and although he has spent very little time in Ciudad del Cielo over the years, that does not mean he has no contacts in Ciudad del Cielo.
The two men drove to a luxury apartment complex in the city.
At the entrance to the block, a young man in a burgundy suit stood under a lamppost, cigarette in hand, smoking.
As soon as the man saw Neto and Lucila arrive, he immediately greeted them: “San, when did you come back without telling the kids …”.
Before he could finish waiting, his gaze fell on Lucila with a note of excitement in his tone, “This is the sister-in-law, isn’t it? She’s very young.
Too young?
Neto sounded offended, making it sound like he was very old, when he was only four years older than Lucila.
Neto kicked him: “Toli, you’ve gone too far, haven’t you?
Toli laughed and put the half-smoked cigarette in her mouth, and before she could take a puff, Neto kicked her.
Neto glared at him: “Put out your cigarette!
Toli jumped on one foot and shouted, “Fuck! Sango, everyone said you were going to improve your temper when you got married, but I didn’t expect it to get worse, can my third wife love you like this?”
Lucila thought for a moment before realising that Toli’s “third wife” was referring to her.
Seeing Neto’s eyes narrow and about to turn the other cheek, Toli hurriedly put out the cigarette in her hand and extended her hand to Lucila with a flattering smile: “Third sister-in-law, I’m Toli, I used to live in the same compound as the third brother, but my old man threw me out.
Lucila said: “Hello”.
Toli looks like a joker and unreliable, but he’s quite handsome.
After all, they also live in the same courtyard as Neto, and they are all tall cadres, so they couldn’t be worse.
Suddenly, he remembered again that the Pastrano family’s neighbour’s surname was Lu.
Toli and Neto had a couple of bad words and took them upstairs.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Toli’s house is very nice, everything is available and the rooms are clean.
“Now I’m staying with my friends inside the bar, it’s too far to come back here, so I didn’t stay here.” With that, he pulled out another key from his pocket, “San, this is the room key, stay as long as you want!”
Neto made a disgusted face: “All right, all right, get lost, don’t be an eyesore here”.
Toli didn’t get angry, but gave a bitchy smile, grabbed Neto by the shoulders and pulled him away, “Third brother, are you and your sister-in-law thinking of having a baby now? If not, I have things in my wardrobe you can use, several boxes of them, even if you use ten a night, you can still use them for half a year”.
Without a word, Neto grabbed Toli by the back of the neck and dragged him towards the door.
Toli struggled as she continued politely, “Sango, that’s what I had someone get me especially, I hear it works well …”
The words that followed were blocked by the door.
Lucila pretended not to understand what they were saying.
Neto turned to Lucila with a smile in his eyes: “If you’re still happy with the house, we’ll stay here for a few days and come back to Cloud Cit in a few days. ”
Lucila nodded: “It’s quite nice, it has everything and the location is good.
When he finished, he replied: “You said you were coming back to Cloud Cit in a few days?
“Well, anyway, I’ve met the people I needed to see and done the things I needed to do here in Sky City, so I might be back in Cloud Cit soon.”
Neto took off his jacket and threw it on the sofa, pulled Lucila into his arms, kissed her on the forehead and caressed her head: “I won’t let you suffer.
Lucila pursed her lips and laughed, “You were kicked out of La familia Pastrano because of me, so of course I trust you won’t leave me aggrieved?
“So you said earlier that I should go and apologise to my father?”
“What else? You can’t really not come back to The Pastrano family for the rest of your life, and while Uncle Pastrano certainly has his faults, in the end he is your father, and you are of The Pastrano family, and blood cannot be erased.”
Neto remained silent for a while, cupping her face and kissing her again and again, while his breathing became a little heavier.
“Forget about them for now, we’re still newlyweds anyway, we’re going to do something important first …”
“What is it?”
“You tell me.
As soon as the words were out of her mouth, Lucila felt her body lighten and was lifted by Neto and carried into the bedroom.
