Chapter 4 4
As Luz leaves the dining room with Charlize, Gerard grabs Dan’s tie and throws him into the office.
Was that proof enough for you? -she tells him entering with him and closing the door-
-Hey, how jealous... you should be proud of her, I’m sure that man who stole her heart is you.
-Do you believe? -he asks hopefully-
-But he practically yelled at me to stay with Charlize to see what happened to you – Gerard sits smiling like a silly boy and Dan
laughs -. That girl is special, she is not moved by the physical or the material, she is authentic, man. I would love to find one like
this.
– Get in line for decent singles, stop being so messy with your life.
-Hey, what’s the point of eating pancakes with...?
-Don’t say it, please – he interrupts Dan before he says the full name, because he feels that just hearing it again, he will run
away -. I have no idea, I just know that they looked appetizing, my mouth was watering to have them in front of me.
– Aren’t you pregnant? – Dan’s mockery makes him frown –
-You will not believe that my crime had consequences...
– Or maybe you connected so much with Luz that you are feeling the symptoms of her pregnancy – his friend tells him to
reassure him –
Do you believe in those things?
-I don’t know, I would have to get someone pregnant to find out... – and his memory takes him back six years, when he was
going to be a father and that unfortunate woman took away the opportunity to have a child to take care of – I think I’ll go You
need to rest and I need to sleep.

-Rest, is the only thing I get since that night, I have not been able to sleep a single full night.
-I promise I’ll help you, my friend, just be patient.

-I hope the truth doesn’t come when you’re happiest.
Dan looks at his friend and feels that he is willing to do many things for him, that is why he wants to continue with the drug
distribution investigation, because that way they will be able to show the girl that it was not intentional, besides that, in a way
twisted, the best thing that could happen is that it was Gerard and no other.
The two walk to the entrance and say goodbye, Gerard takes the opportunity to ask George if Darcy left the house.
-Yes sir. If I may add... – Gerard nods and the man continues -. He was ranting against everyone, including Miss Luz.
– She asked for it. By the way, about Luz... I want you to accompany her to all the places, in a couple of weeks I will go back to
work and she will have things to do, so I don’t want to be left alone – she looks at the night sky and smiles at the thought in
which I could invite Luz to walk in the garden –
“She’s pregnant, George, and we have to take care of her, because we don’t know who the father of that baby is or if it will upset
her.
-Very well sir, I’ll talk to Evangeline so she can keep an eye on her, for now, is the surprise for Princess Charlize still standing? –
Gerard smiles at the way they call his daughter and feels that at least the others did pay him that attention that he didn’t-
-Yes, in fact... you know, we are going to advance it. Since Luz is better and with us, we are going to go on a trip tomorrow.
-Muy bien señor, haré todos los preparativos.
-Gracias George... por todo.
Para George, Gerard es solo un hombre joven que ha perdido mucho, pero que desde que la chica llegó a casa, está
recuperando todo aquello que dejo ir por el duelo.
-Es un gusto, señor... es bueno verlo feliz otra vez.
Gerard entra a la casa y sube las escaleras para ir a ver como van sus mujeres. Al entrar, la escena lo deja petrificado de la

emoción.
Luz se ha quedado dormida con el cuento en la mano y rodeando a Charlize con el otro brazo, su pequeña tiene la manito en el
vientre de Luz y se le hace la escena más tierna del mundo. .
Se acerca a la chica, con las ganas de dejarla dormir allí, pero está en una mala posición y le preocupa que luego le duela todo.

-Luz... – le susurra para no despertar a Charlize -.
–Mmm...
-Luz, vamos a tu cuarto – la chica abre un ojo y se da cuenta dónde está, se incorpora con cuidado de n
a la princesa y en cuanto la ve libre, Gerard la toma entre sus brazos -. Te iba a invitar a pasear por le jardín, pero creo que
estás cansada, hoy fue muy ajetreado para ti.
ZOS
-Sí, eso creo – apoya su cabeza en el pecho del hombre y se deja llevar por Morfeo otra vez, entre esos brazos fuertes que le
encantan -.
Gerard la acuesta en su cama, le quita los zapatos y la tapa con las cobijas. Se queda observándola dormir unos minutos sin
dejar de pensar en lo afortunado que es de tener la oportunidad de conquistar a aquella chica.
Sale de allí para irse directo a su habitación, se cambia de ropa y se va al gimnasio, allí tratará de quemar energías y buscar el
cansancio suficiente para poder dormir.
Without stopping seeing those brown eyes that he loves.
If only I could find that woman, to end this now, without having to reach heaven and then fall to hell.
But fate is like that, cruel and miserable.
He reviews again the day that will start in a few more hours, thinking that the surprise for his daughter will serve to start fulfilling
his dreams and to get to know Luz better.
Suddenly, he feels like eating chocolate filled with truffles, so he leaves the exercise and goes to the kitchen where he hopes to
find something similar, but there he finds Luz eating that chocolate.
Seeing him smiles embarrassed and extends the chocolate.
=
-Do you want some?.

Gerard would eat whatever she gave him.
