Well, after the problems he had. Valentina stopped washing the hands. What problems? Mrs. Carmen seemed to have overstepped the line. There is nothing important, just some economic difficulties that all young people pass. What type of difficulties? Well, you know, loans, credit cards, nothing that a good marriage doesn’t fix.
The coldness with which she said it made that Valentina understood that the mother knew of the plans of her son. I understand, responded Valentina simply. I am sure that you guys will help each other mutually after all for that is the marriage right share responsibilities and resources. Resources what an interesting word of course Mrs. Carmen.
When Valentina returned to the hall the party was in its peak. The people danced, conversed animatedly, had fun. It was a surreal contrast with the whirlwind that passed through her head. Dylan approached while she took a glass of champagne. Valentina, can I talk with you a moment? Sure.
They separated to a more private corner. I know that you heard our conversation this morning. Valentina decided not to deny it. And what? I tried to convince Alexander to not do it. You need to know that. Why do you tell it to me? Because I already can’t pretend that everything is okay. He is my friend. But this is very wrong. And what do you suggest that I do? I don’t know. Maybe maybe you guys can talk.
Maybe he changes opinion. Valentina almost laughed. Dylan, you heard the same that I did. He has planned it for 2 years. It’s not something he is going to regret. Then what will you do? Still I am deciding it. Please don’t destroy him in public. I know that he deserves it. But but what? He has serious problems with certain people.
If he loses this opportunity, what people? Dylan lowered even more the voice. People who lend him money. People who don’t play. Valentina felt a chill. Alexander not only was in debt, he was in danger. How much does he owe? Much. More than 200,000. And if he doesn’t pay, Dylan only moved the head, leaving the implication in the air.
