Love Comes To Me

"Dad, Mom!"

Sweety threw herself into Paulina's arms.

Sweety, who had just finished her bath, carried the scent of Sweety's milk.

"Did Sweety finish her food today?" asked Paulina as she helped her out of her pajamas.

"Yes, Sweety even had two bowls of soup." Sweety made a two with her fingers.

Paulina smiled softly, "Really? That's great."

Next, she looked at Esteban, "How about you, did you finish your homework?"

"All done. I also finished the book I hadn't finished before."

She didn't need to ask Esteban, but she knew he was a good boy and would do his own work. "Then we'll play for a while and then go to bed."

"Okay."

The two little ones said in unison and turned back to the play area.

Looking at the two of them, Paulina's eyes were so soft it looked like water was dripping from them.

"I wish the days could go on like this." Paulina couldn't help but wail.

Marcos slipped his arm around her shoulders, "Me too."

Paulina rested her head on his shoulder as they stood watching the two little ones playing in the play area, the yellowish light enveloped the room in a warm atmosphere.

...

The day passed peacefully for a few days before it was interrupted by an invitation that came unexpectedly.

"Brother, Blythe is hosting a dinner party this weekend and has delivered the invitation to me." Alvaro read the invitation and looked at Marcos.

Marcos looked as unperturbed as ever, "Is it just me who's invited?"

"No, it's me, and the invitation says you can bring a plus one."

Alvaro frowned and voiced his concern, "Brother, this isn't going to be a Hong Kong banquet, is it?"

"It's not like we're going to be the only ones, there will be others, Blythe and the others won't dare do anything."

When Marcos said that, Alvaro's eyes widened in surprise, "Brother, are you going?"

"Or what?" Marcos folded his arms, a small smile pulling at the corners of his lips, "No, it would look too arrogant for us."

"What's wrong with being arrogant?" Alvaro snorted, "You have to be condescending to someone who doesn't mean well."

"But too condescending and we won't know what the other party has in mind." Marcos lowered his hand and his thin lips parted, "I want to meet Blythe myself and find out what JR's intentions are." As he said this, Marcos' expression sank slightly, a coldness surfacing under his eyes.

"Very well, then I'll go too.

Even if it is a Hongmen's Banquet, he Alvaro is not afraid.

...

When Paulina heard that Mark was going to the dinner, she immediately said, "I'm going too."

"No way." Marcos refused without thinking.

"Why?" Paulina didn't understand why he wouldn't let himself go.

"There are a lot of people there and I'm worried you're not used to it."

If it had been any other reason, Paulina might have accepted it.

But this reason ...

was a little funny.

"How many parties have I been to, how could I not be used to it?" Paulina narrowed her eyes and glared at him, "Or is it that you want to spend time alone with Blythe? Afraid it'll be inconvenient with me around?" Marcos' sword scowled, "Are you serious?"

Paulina looked at him innocently, her voice softening, "Not at all. But I want to accompany you."

Marcos sighed helplessly, "Okay, we'll go together."

Seeing him agree, Paulina immediately smiled, "That's very kind of you."

"But I have conditions."

"You say so."

As long as he was willing to let her go, she would accept any conditions.

"When we arrive, you must stay with me at all times, don't wander away."

There were too many people going to dinner and he feared that if he didn't pay attention to her, something would happen to her again.

Paulina laughed out loud, "I'm not a girl ...".

As soon as she said that, she saw his face sink.

She spat out her tongue and changed her tone, "Okay, I'll follow you closely. Even to the bathroom."

He worried a little too much, but so as not to unsettle him, she did as she told him.

On the day of the dinner, Paulina put on the dress that Ms. Gloria had prepared for her and put on her makeup with care.

Her dark hair was tied back and a few strands fell over her cheeks, making her pretty face look even smaller.

Marcos pushed open the door and, seeing no one, headed for the checkroom.

Just as he reached the door, he saw Paulina standing in front of the dressing room mirror.

At the sound of footsteps, Paulina turned her head, a bright smile on her delicate face, "Mark, look, does this dress Mommy picked out look good on you?"

In the light, her skin was as white as snow and her eyes were white.

He walked over to her and stood in front of her, his eyes riveted on her expectant face, the corners of his mouth curved into a smile, "It looks good, it looks great." Paulina smiled wider and wider, "That's good."

"But suddenly I don't want you to go with me." Marcos reached out and wrapped his arms around her waist.

Paulina thought he was really letting her go and became anxious, "You still promised me, you can't go back on your word! If you don't, I'll get angry."

The smile on Mark's lips deepened a little and he whispered, "You're so pretty, I don't want anyone else to see you."

The natural possessiveness of a man.

Paulina couldn't help but laugh, her eyes twinkled and she instantly curbed her smile and replaced it with a serious expression, "Then I don't want you to leave either, my husband is so handsome that there will be many women with red eyes for you then."

"I'm already married." Marcos said with a straight face.

Paulina raised her eyebrows, "Being married doesn't stop them from swooning over you. After all, no one can resist a handsome man."

"Then let's not even go if you say so."

"No!" Paulina shook her head, "Yes, I want to meet Blythe in person too."

Marcos smiled, "Then let's go."

He took her by the hand and headed for the exit.

Alvaro was waiting downstairs and shook his head derisively when he saw them go down together. "Sister-in-law, you look great in that outfit too!".

"It's Blythe's first party since she came home, you always have to do someone a favor." said Paulina.

Alvaro smiled, "That's true, and sister-in-law is naturally pretty, she looks good in everything."

Paulina let out a laugh and said, "I love that".

"Although she still doesn't look as good as Bonita."

Paulina heard this as she passed by him and couldn't help but lose her smile.
