Devoted Love, Mr. Hayes’ Darling Wife

On Christmas Eve, Micaela and Malia prepared a board of meatballs filled with sauerkraut, cabbage and mushrooms and meat.

Malia smiled and said, “Nico loves the meatballs I make and says the stuffing I make is especially aromatic, Micaela, go and call him to come to dinner with us on New Year’s Eve.”

Micaela went to call and when she got through, it was not Nico himself who answered, but Campoverde.

“Mr. Campoverde, how are you?”

Campoverde said, “Ma’am, Mr. Nico has something to do right now and would like to see you there.”

“Were you looking for me for something?” Micaela was a little puzzled, “But it’s almost time for New Year’s Eve dinner.”

“There’s no hurry, ma’am, I’m driving right below you now, so please come down and I’ll take you to meet Mr. Nico. ”

Micaela smiled and said, “What the hell are you selling that’s so mysterious?”

Campoverde said, “Mr. Nico wanted to surprise his wife.”

“Then I’ll change my clothes and pester Mr. Campoverde to wait.”

“Yes, ma’am.”

After hanging up the phone, Micaela said, “Abuela, I’m going out and I don’t know when I’ll be back, so if you and Hud are hungry, eat first and I’ll be back later to have a drink with you.”

“Is it to see Nico?” Malia’s eyes glazed over.

Micaela replied and headed for the checkroom to change.

Malia laughed, “Come on, it’s okay to be late for New Year’s Eve dinner.”

…

It was cold outside and Micaela was very dressed up, in a white down jacket and a thick cream-colored wool skirt with a thick scarf around her neck.

Face, plain, with just a hint of lipstick on her lips.

Long hair tied casually around the head on a pillow.

Dress not like you were going on a date, very lazy and casual.

Campoverde stood frozen by the car as Micaela walked out of the building.

He had no idea Micaela dressed so casually.

As Micaela made her way to the car, Campoverde made a point of asking, “Ma’am, are you sure you … it’s not more formal?”

“Is it for dinner at some fancy restaurant?” asked Micaela.

Campoverde shook his head with a slight smile and opened the door to the back seat, “Not really, get in, anyway, a person as good looking as the lady would look good even in a jacket, you’d like her anyway Mr. Nico, it wouldn’t hurt.”

Micaela didn’t mind, she always went out to direct scenes after she stopped being an actress, sitting in front of the camera, dressed casually, usually with a big cotton coat over her body to protect her from the cold and got to work.

There is little time or energy to pay attention to dress issues at work.

As for the day-to-day, it is even less advisable to spend too much time on it.

Micaela prefers to spend her time reading and studying.

I don’t mind the beauty thing.

Micaela’s talent and temperament are also enough to make you forget that she is excessively beautiful.

Campoverde drove a long way.

When Micaela got out, it was not yet completely dark; it is now pitch black out the car window.

Micaela couldn’t resist asking, “Mr. Campoverde, where exactly are we going?”.

“Almost there, ma’am, I can’t kidnap you left or right.” joked Campoverde.

Micaela doesn’t believe it. Campoverde has been with Nico for many years, and Nico knows people like the back of his hand, so it’s unlikely that Campoverde would do anything treacherous.

I was just curious as to what Nico wanted.

Soon the car reached the foot of the hill.

This mountain, called the Crescent, is a tourist attraction in La Ciudad Santa, which Micaela has never visited, but has heard of it.

“Mr. Campoverde, what has brought me to the Media Luna?”

Come to climb a mountain in the middle of the night?

Nico is not that retarded.

“Ma’am, this is as far as I can take you, you’ll have to climb it yourself.”

“…”

As Micaela climbed from the foot of the hill warily, a figure suddenly jumped out from the trees illuminated by a dim streetlight, startling Micaela.

Savanna was holding an arrow, smiling with a mouthful of tiny white teeth, “Sister-in-law, go in this direction and you’ll see my brother!”

Micaela smiled helplessly and sighed, “What the hell is Nico up to. ”

“Surprise oh, come on, come on.”

Savanna pushes Micaela forward and up.

At the second stop, I ran into Matthew, who was smoking a cigarette while clutching a sign with an arrow on it.

With an expression of extreme reluctance, as if he had been kidnapped, Matthew pointed to Micaela: “Nico has had his brains eaten out by dogs since he fell in love, asking us to come for a stop on Christmas Eve, on such a cold day.”

Micaela continues to the top and at the third stop, Rabago picks up an arrow sign.

Even without Rabago’s indication, it was clear to Micaela that she should continue in the direction he pointed.

Micaela saw the cable car going up the mountain.

The outside of the cable car was decorated with a circle of colorful roses, and inside was a small lighted chandelier. In the cold night, the cable car, glowing with light and wrapped in roses, looked like a little carriage from a fairy tale.

And outside the carriage, there was a pretty little girl.

It’s Paulita.

Micaela was slightly stunned, “Paulita, why are you here too?”.

Paulita said proudly, “Uncle Nico invited me, I came for Aunt Micaela, Aunt Micaela, get on the cable car, there’s a surprise when you go up the mountain!”.

Micaela boarded the cable car, which rose steadily to the top.

In the gondola there was a card.

Micaela opened the card and saw Nico’s pale, scrawled handwriting.

“Attention.”

“Christmas Eve fireworks to pay for you.”© NôvelDrama.Org - All rights reserved.

Micaela froze, in the gondola, and looked sharply skyward.

A screech.

A blinding light rose from the top of the hill.

Like a fiery serpent it hurtles upward.

Moment.

The fiery snake burst into the dark sky, causing the mountain to fill with bright smoke and fire that lit up the entire sky.

The fireworks, huge and spectacular.

The fireworks burst in the sky first into a lively bouquet of flowers, then transformed into several shining silver trees, and finally, under the dark sky, into big words….

“Micaela, marry me.”

At this point, the cable car stops and reaches the top of the mountain.

Before Micaela could catch her breath from the majestic fireworks, the gondola door opened.

As soon as she stepped off the cable car, Micaela saw Nico standing a short distance away, gazing lovingly at her.

The terrace at the top of the hill is a glass observation deck, and the glass underfoot reflects the brilliant fireworks and the glow in the sky.

On the terrace, in addition to Nico, were Savanna, Mateo, Rabago and Paulita, who had been showing the way up the hill earlier.

The Adam’s were also present.

Micaela looked around at the huge glassed-in terrace, the perimeter of which was covered with roses, and even the soles of her feet were covered with fresh rose petals, and the faint scent of roses could be smelled in the air of the open terrace.

Eye-catching and romantic.

Step by step, Nico walked steadily toward her.

In the sky, the brilliant fireworks bloom again.

He approached her from this blooming firework.

It wasn’t until he approached her that Micaela smiled slightly, “So, having Campoverde bring me here to set off fireworks for me?”

“Aside from paying you for Christmas Eve fireworks, there is of course one more important thing.”

With those words, Nico dropped to his knees.

Micaela stood up and he knelt down on one knee, lifted his face to look at her and said solemnly, word for word, “I remember you made a wish to fall in love until the wedding, you and me. micaela, it’s not just your wish, it’s mine too. I, Nico, just want to marry Micaela. ”

“I will love you with all my life. From now on, if you tell me to go east, I will never go west, if you tell me to go south, I will never go north; if you tell me to eat fine rice, I will never eat dry rice; if you tell me to do whatever you want, I will do whatever you want, as long as you are happy, you can play with me until death.”

“Micaela, marry me and let me spend the rest of my life atoning for my sins.”

“May I?”

After Nico finished his confession, the crowd of foodies on the terrace clapped and whistled noisily.

“Marry him! Marry him! Marry him!”

Nico’s dark eyes fixed on Micaela, “I just want your answer.”

Micaela curved her lips and pulled a diamond ring from the large pocket of her comforter.

“Put it on me.”

Nico was slightly stunned, “How did this ring … get on you?”.

Savanna explained, “Brother, I returned it to its rightful owner a long time ago!”.

Matthew whistled and scoffed, “People are in a hurry, brother, hurry up and put it on your sister-in-law! Don’t stand still.”

“Put it on and there’ll be no turning back.”

Micaela smiled slightly, “If you don’t put it on, I’ll back off.”

Nico took the diamond ring and slipped it on Micaela’s ring finger. “No chance of backing out.”

Nico rose from the floor, pulled Micaela up, held the back of her neck with his large hands and, in front of the audience, gave her a passionate tongue kiss.

Adam reached up and covered Paulita’s eyes, “Too much, there’s still a child in there.”

Paulita hummed: people are not three years old anymore, they are on TV all the time.

It was windy on the terrace and Micaela was weak, so after Nico declared himself, he told the group to leave.

On the way down, Micaela sat in the cable car with Nico.

Micaela asked curiously, “Wouldn’t it be humiliating for you to make such a big show of yourself if I don’t say yes tonight?”

She also summoned many friends to witness it together.

Nico put his arm around her and leaned toward her, and said in an ungainly, disheveled manner, “If you don’t say yes, we’ll spend the rest of the night on top of the mountain, and I’ll ride down in the cable car anyway.”

Wilt.

Micaela looked at the diamond ring on his ring finger and reached over to gently caress it, after a moment she smiled and looking at him she said, “Nico, Merry Christmas Eve. ”

Nico’s dark eyes darkened abruptly.

Micaela is pinned against the gondola, kissing furiously and uncontrollably.

After a long, long kiss, Nico pressed his lips against her soft ones and exhaled with a gasp, “It feels so good to have this lost and found.”

Micaela clung to his neck and looked at her reflection in the glass doors of the gondola.

The corners of her gradually curving lips were bright and luminous.

When the cable car reached the base of the hill, Nico, who is tall and long-legged, stepped out of the cable car first and then led Micaela straight across the cable car to the car.

Campoverde is still in the car.

Micaela struggled slightly, “Put me down, I’ll walk alone.”

“No, I reserve my own daughter-in-law, the one who puts her is a grandson.”

“…”

Campoverde was in her car and saw from a distance the foam from the dog food being thrown in her face.

It shouldn’t be in the car, it should be under him.

…

When we arrived at Villa Moon Lake Road, Nico hugged Micaela and kissed her all the way from the gate to the house.

Down jackets, coats and sweaters … were thrown from the foyer to the couch, stretching all the way.

But halfway there, Micaela suddenly had abdominal cramps, cringing in pain and breaking into a cold sweat at the corner of her forehead.

Nico hugged her and asked worriedly, “Micaela, what’s the matter with you?”

Micaela snuggled helplessly in his arms, closing her eyes in indefinable embarrassment, “I think it’s my period.”
