Chapter 1056: Micaela, don’t let me down.
“When I was little, I remember my father was not so indifferent to me, he would buy me candy canes and pretty little dresses, he would come home from business trips and pick me up to cheer me up, and he would bring me presents. But I don’t know when the smile gradually disappeared from my mother’s face, and my father seemed to start becoming indifferent and not coming home.”Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
“Although I was very young at the time, children are spiritual and I could sense their parents’ problems, but at the time I thought they had just had a fight and would make up.”
“But then my dad cheated on me, and not only did he have a woman outside, but he had a daughter, and Florence was only two years younger than me, and then as I got older I realized that all the love between mom and dad was a disguise.”
“My mom was so pretty that when she went to parent-teacher conferences for me as a kid, she was the center of attention, but for some reason, my dad was cheating on a woman of Camila Linares’ looks and character, so it probably makes sense that the flower of the family isn’t as good as the wildflower.”
Micaela choked back a sob and continued with reddened eyes, “This unhealthy relationship they had as a couple lasted until I was eight years old, when my mother was diagnosed with breast cancer, probably due to a long period of depression, and the doctor had said she could be cured after adjusting her mind and undergoing aggressive treatment with surgery.”
“But … one day Camila Linares came to the hospital with six-year-old Florencia and said she was going to visit my mother, but what kind of visit is that? I was standing in front of the ward door and heard everything.”
“After Camila Linares left with Florencia, I saw my mother covering her mouth and crying disconsolately, and it didn’t take long for the cancer to spread. From then on I hated my dad, more than Camila Linares and Florencia, I hated Beltran Matamoros. ”
“Because if it wasn’t for Beltran Matamoros, my mother wouldn’t have to suffer like this, Beltran Matamoros would have allowed people to harass my mother like this, and if he hadn’t cheated on her, my mother would still be alive and well, seeing me in college, seeing me with a boyfriend, seeing me in all the stages of my life. ”
Nico was silent and patient as he listened to her say so many things at once, taking her tearful face and pulling it against his chest. “And so?”
Micaela grabbed his shirt with both hands and buried her face in his arms, her voice hoarse with choking. “Soon after my mother left, barely six months apart, Beltran Matamoros couldn’t wait to take Camila Linares and Florencia into the house, and I became a complete scrub. Not only did they take my mother’s position as mistress, but they packed up and threw away all the things she had left, saying it was taboo.”
“I saw that Beltran Matamoros tacitly approved when Camila Linares did these outrages, and it was as if he feared that having his ex-wife’s things in the house would attract spirits, perhaps because he had guilt in his heart and so he feared reprisals.”
“When my mother first left, there was a period when I heard she was having trouble sleeping and Camila Linares brought in a feng shui master who said the acacia tree in the courtyard was taboo and attracted bad spirits.”
At this talk, Micaela cried and laughed derisively, curving her lips, “Don’t you think it’s ironic? Inviting evil spirits, he might as well have said that it was his weak heart that haunted him, fearing that my mother’s ghost would take his sleep away.”
Nico recalls that on his first visit to La familia Matamoros, the acacia tree on the grounds of La familia Matamoros was growing very strong and vigorous, with dense foliage and a fantastic summer bloom of acacia flowers.
Nico looked down, kissed her forehead and asked softly, “And what happened to the acacia that was left behind?”
“It was planted by my own mother when she married into The Matamoros family, because the acacia means eternal love and a good match. Even the name they gave me was the word joy, my mother said she hoped I would live a life of pure joy, free of worries, and meet someone who would make me happy in this life.”
“But the feng shui master said that the tree had to be uprooted and could not be left. Ostensibly, it was Camila Linares who urged Beltran Matamoros to cut down the tree, but I know that Beltran Matamoros himself wanted to get rid of the tree, he was genuinely afraid that my mother’s ghost would haunt him. ”
“But that is the most precious thing my mother left me, and there are also many, many good memories I have with her under that tree. I remember her hugging me under it in the coolness of summer and telling me bedtime stories, and I remember the countless times she was on her back under that tree, waiting for her husband who was late coming home.”
“Beltran Matamoros was scared and didn’t want to take another life, so he took the tree. ”
“After that, I understood why my mother gave me a knife before she left; she wanted me not to be weak like her and to learn to protect myself. My mother didn’t understand until she died that being weak and kind was cowardly, and she said the worst thing she ever did in her life was not learn to protect herself and me properly in this marriage.”
Her hot tears stained the fabric of Nico’s shirt on his chest and burned the tip of his heart.
He could resist the strong Micaela with all her armor, but he finds that this soft, genuine Micaela is so fragile that he can’t even hold her tightly.
Micaela sniffled, her eyes shining with tears of clarity, and she looked at Nico as she said firmly, word for word, “Mr. Nico, you say you can’t accept that the other person cheats and cheats on you, and I hate people who cheat just as much, and if you really want to be my boyfriend, then you have no freedom, and if Mr. Nico is just an attempt to play with the relationship, then let’s go back to the old days.”
Nico glared at her and asked in a deep voice, “What if I say I’m serious?”
Micaela still had a tear in the corner of her eye, but she quirked a smile on her lips and said, “Then I’ll be faithful to Mr. Nico too, I’ll try to make you fall in love, I’ll give you the feeling of being an equal in a relationship between a man and a woman.”
He wasn’t the only one who liked it that way.
She would also give him the feeling of being firmly chosen.
So would she, really.
She doesn’t play with emotions, ever.
Nico grabbed the back of her neck, lowered his head, and sealed it with a kiss, “Then be a good girlfriend to me.
Later, he will love her.
The warmth she wanted, he would give her too.
He is generous with his bride, not just stingy with money.
His heart, too, will give it.
Micaela, unlike the others, is different.
She was Nico’s first girlfriend and she was unique.
This is Nico’s first relationship and he will learn well how to be a kind and considerate boyfriend, even if he can’t always be.
But with Micaela, he tries to take care of her as gently as possible.
He brought his face close to his forehead, closed his eyes slightly and said, “Micaela, don’t fail me.”
He was not a man who could forgive after being let down, he was afraid and lost with her.
In this life, there are very few who know someone who can make their heart sing, she is the first and maybe … the last.
I was serious, I wasn’t playing around.
