Deep love: insatiable lover

Chapter 485: Pretending to be engaged



Just before returning home, Alonso suddenly approached the door with an apologetic look on his face.

-What’s going on?

Vanessa looked at his embarrassed and anxious face, thinking that she must not know how to say it, so she simply took the initiative to ask it herself. At her words, guilt surfaced on Alonso’s face.

-What happened?

Why that look?

-Vanisa,” Alonso looked at Vanessa, wanting to say something. His brow was furrowed in a look of disgust and frustration, and after a few moments of struggle, he said with a bitter smile.

We could have gone straight back to-morrow. But… my father suddenly said he would let me get engaged before we left. He said the woman wasn’t dead yet and he wouldn’t let us leave if I didn’t get engaged.

It would have been difficult for anyone to say the words commitment when they knew the relationship was faked.

That is why Alonso had hesitated.

Vanessa’s heart skipped a beat, but she calmed down quickly.

-All right, we can get engaged, so we can go back to our country. After all, it’s only an engagement, not a marriage, and it can break up at any time.

More importantly, none of their current identities were real.

Being engaged to Alonso under a false identity was obviously not valid at all.

So, although Vanessa was vaguely concerned, she agreed to do it anyway.

She knew that Alonso must have struggled a lot and had no choice but to look for herself.

-I’m sorry, I didn’t think of that either….

Alonso smiled a bitter smile, his whole being almost overwhelmed with guilt.

-It’s okay. You saved me in the first place and you’ve been a big help looking after me, so it’s only fair that I do something for you, let alone pretend you’re engaged.

Vanessa smiled and shook her head, gently and kindly.

Seeing her like this, Alonso’s heart squeezed hard. A struggle flashed very quickly under his eyes as he thought of something, only to quickly disappear again.

-The domestic exchange is almost a week away and the engagement ceremony is in three nights’ time. Sorry, my father and the boys had already started to prepare when I received the notice from me.

-It’s OK, we both know it’s not true.

Vanessa smiled and reassured Alonso.

-Well, then, get some rest, I have to go back and take care of some things.

-Well, take care of yourself and drive carefully.

Vanessa stood up and watched Alonso’s car drive away before turning around and returning to the apartment building.

And Alonso pulled away from the side road after leaving the block and raised his hands to rub his face vigorously.

-Vanisa, I’m sorry.

The self-satisfied apology was soft, followed by a bitter, impotent sigh.

After a moment of consternation, Alonso quickly pulled himself together. He took a deep breath, started the car and drove off.

As Alonso had said, the Rasgado family had begun preparations for the engagement ceremony early on.

Vanessa was told to try on the dress the next day.

After waiting half an hour in the flat, Alonso went to pick her up. The dress fitting was not far away and it took about half an hour to get there.

The dress fitting was not too far away, it took about half an hour to arrive, but with the status and prestige of the Rasgado family, they had a special tailor and designer at their disposal.

So the whole study was just for Vanessa and Alonso.NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

The dress was beautiful and Vanessa was a perfect fit.

Vanessa looked at herself in the mirror and suddenly felt as if the dress had been tailor-made for her. And then she felt strange, since it was the Rasgado family engagement party for her and Alonso, of course the dress was made for her.

But somehow Vanessa had a strange feeling in her mind.

She thought the Rasgado family just wanted a simple dress for an engagement, but the one she wore had been carefully designed in every way.

-What’s going on?

Alonso asked when he saw Vanessa looking at herself in the mirror, wearing a stiff suit.

-The dressing gown fits me well.

-That’s good.

Alonso smiled and stood next to Vanessa as they looked together in the huge mirror.

The dresses were beautiful and exquisite, and both stood out from the crowd. As they stood together, the staff behind them congratulated them on what an exceptional couple they were.

What a beautiful couple.

Alonso looked at Vanessa with a smile on his face and a look on his face that he could not hide in any way.

Vanessa looked at herself in the mirror and then lowered her head, sensing that Alonso was not the one she was supposed to be with, the one she had been with.

And because his head was down, he didn’t see the depth of emotion in Alonso’s eyes.

-You are beautiful.

Alonso tried to look away from her eyes so that Vanessa wouldn’t see the difference.

-The skirt of the dress fits perfectly, no alterations needed.

exclaimed the designer after looking at him.

-That’s good.

Alonso nodded and went with Vanessa to change.

The dress would remain here for finishing touches and would not be delivered to the Rasgado family until the day of the engagement party.

-Come on, let’s have dinner together. There’s a new restaurant here that they say is good. And the atmosphere is great too, I think you’ll like it.

It was almost noon, so Vanessa did not refuse Alonso’s offer.

It was only a ten-minute drive to the restaurant.

Alonso got out of the car first and gently ran to the passenger side to open the door for Vanessa.

The well-trained parking attendant at the entrance to the restaurant came over, took Alonso’s keys and drove the car away cleanly.

The setting is truly wonderful, with the elegant sound of the piano in your ears.

In the centre is a small flower garden of a particularly artistic character. The different types of vegetation were staggered and, with a babbling brook in the centre, it was particularly picturesque.

-I’ve booked a table with a nicer view over there.

Alonso walked beside Vanessa as he introduced himself to her.

The two seemed to be passing through the flower garden on the left, and a man happened to be coming out on the right.

His footsteps stopped suddenly and he looked suspiciously to the left of the flower garden.

Only two backs were seen.

Because he stopped before going up, he did not find the two people who had just brushed past him.

-It sounded similar, but it could have been a mistake.

The man was Lucas.

He shook his head and left after muttering to himself.

Dylan had been looking for Vanessa all these years and naturally hadn’t given up on helping to get information, but he hadn’t been able to find her, so it couldn’t be a coincidence to have a chance encounter with her in the restaurant.
