Hearing that voice on the other end of the line surprised Marcos a little, even though he was sure that Esteban's companies would end up calling him sooner or later, he didn't think it would be so soon, not even his own grandmother who would do it, especially because she was a proud woman, who didn't like to give her arm to twist. However, when he heard the financial news, he knew that the fall of his family's companies was imminent and although apparently that should not matter to him, although it did worry him, perhaps because it was the family patrimony or because throughout his life he grew up and was trained to take charge of them, he had a special attachment, because he saw how his grandfather left everything for that company and his health, just as his father sacrificed his dreams for it. ”Mrs. Estebans, the last time we spoke you threw me out of your family, telling me that I was not part of it, why should I give in to your request now? “she asked, unable to contain the tone
Everyone present was shocked, when they saw Marcos take the doctor by the arm and walk with him towards the door, to the doctor's protests.“How dare you take me out of my own office? This is an outrage! “the man exclaimed indignantly.“Atropello? Atropello for me is you taking advantage of your condition as a doctor, you want to stick your wand in my wife... “the doctor looked at him as if he were a freak or as if they had gone crazy, but Marcos remained calm”, that's why the doctor will take care of it, because I am categorically opposed to you doing it." Now sit over there in the anteroom and wait for the doctor to attend to my wife “ and without letting him add any additional words, he slammed the door in the doctor's face, shook off his hands and turned to face his wife and the doctor who were staring at him in disbelief.“Oh, don't look at me like that, one should take good care of one's own. Lia, tell me, would you like me to go to a urologist to get checked? asked Marcos, fur
Lia left the room when she heard the doorbell ring, when she got to the living room Marcos had already opened it and her mother was there asking her to return to the company, the man instead of answering her extended his gaze towards her, as if with that look alone, he was wordlessly asking her opinion about her mother's request.Mrs. Eugenia followed her son's gaze and rested it on Lia, she couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable to be asking her to return to Esteban's companies, even knowing how her mother-in-law treated the girl, she was worried about the idea that the young woman would think her selfish, she didn't want to give a bad impression of her.“Please Lía, forgive me for this selfish act, I am just desperate, I love my old man, I know how much stress and sadness he feels taking over Esteban's companies, he is willing to take it on no matter what the consequences for the love of his son."However, she does not have the strength or the ability to confront Doña Emilia
Forty minutes later his grandmother appeared, she had sent Lia to the room with her mother for two reasons, one, she didn't want him to see her and realize she was pregnant, two, she was dozing off, the pregnancy was making her tired, she looked like a baby just eating and sleeping, he was thankful his wife didn't read his thoughts, otherwise he would be a dead man.“Grandma, come in, please sit down," he asked.The woman wiped away a couple of tears, which started to come out of her eyes, that situation bothered Marcos, because that was not, but an attempt of manipulation on her part, he took a deep breath and let her know.“Grandma, why are you crying? You should be happy because I'm going back to Esteban's companies, wasn't that what you wanted? Although if I am honest you should thank my wife and my mother, because of them I am doing it, in fact in spite of your bad behavior towards Lía, she convinced me to come back.The woman looked at him in surprise, yet remained silent.“Now
While the two younger women looked at each other without speaking, Doña Emilia continued her interrogation.“How far along are you in your pregnancy? Are you sure my grandson is the father? Why wasn't I told? That explains...At that moment Marcos entered and saw the pallor of his grandmother and the worried faces of Lia and her mother.“What are you doing, Grandma? You're bullying Lia and we haven't even signed the contract? “he asked annoyed.The grandmother repeatedly shook her head, and immediately tried to defend herself.“I'm not intimidating her, I just realized that she is pregnant and I'm asking her why they have hidden it from me, don't they trust me? “she asked offended.“Why do you think Lia is pregnant? She's not! She just has... an eating disorder, but everything is under control. Now come on, come and sign that contract, didn't you want that? “he said and took her out of the room by the arm.Lia and Eugenia stayed in the room, although the former with an angry gesture.
Halley, not only ticked off the pilot, but also Emilia, as he sketched a half”smile.“Hello, Mrs. Emilia.“Halley dear, how are you? Still working? My grandson is definitely an exploiter," said the woman, smiling pleasantly.“That doesn't bother me, I love working and even more when it's with a man as brilliant and handsome as him," she said coquettishly.It's a pity he's married to that good”for”nothing, apparently she only knows how to sleep and eat like a sloth," he uttered with obvious anger.“He doesn't spend much time with her, nor have they been intimate.“How do you know? “asked the surprised woman.“I am a brilliant woman, Mrs. Emilia, I have my methods, for now I inform you that in less than an hour we leave for the company's hangar, I am traveling to Houston with your grandson, I leave everything in your hands.“And I am pleased to be able to help you, I don't want that woman in my grandson's life.In less than an hour later, they were at the hangar walking to get on the pl
Marcos knew her well enough to know that she was pretending to be afraid, she just wanted to get back at him, and try to sink Esteban's companies, because she believed him to be unfaithful, he couldn't help but smile.“Ay mi Lía you are a crazy goat, and I even more so because I'm going to make one up in your own style, but I love you and for nothing in the world am I going to lose you.”Journalists immediately surrounded him with questions.“What can you say about your wife's statements?"“Are her statements true? He used her to have children and now he is with the public relations manager of Esteban's Companies?"“Have you come to take her away the hard way "“Are you going to lock her up?"“Are you going to marry your public relations person?"The journalists' questions came pouring out, they didn't even let Marcos answer and he let them know it.“If they won't let me speak, how do they think I'm going to answer them? “He saw Lia walking slowly to escape and directed his words to h
The doctor saw them and covered her mouth and then gave her opinion.“I'm sorry, apparently they are not twins, let me check it out.“A baby disappeared? “asked Marcos sadly, while tears fell from his eyes.“The other baby... It evaporated because of me,” she sobbed with so much feeling that even Doña Emilia could not help but feel moved.“Don't cry! That hurts the other three children... No one is guilty of that, that's life, sometimes you lose, sometimes you win,” the woman tried to console her, because it hurt her to see them like that.“Who told you that one baby is missing and there are three left? “asked the doctor, raising her eyebrows.“No? Then why did he frown? “Marcos asked.“Because they are lucky, they are quadruplets, each pair is of one sex, they are two girls and two boys, at first I thought I saw penis in one of the girls, but when I checked her twin was female and that was strange because the twins are of the same sex and these are in the same bag, I checked again an
