chapter 188

“I’m surprised to see you there, Carmen! How are you ?"

She didn't know how she was and she didn't need to speak because Modesto knew the situation she was in. She knew that it had been a while since the latter had lived in the family home and so, if he was there, it was certainly because his grandfather had asked him to come. She knew that she considered Albero her grandfather now but she didn't think she had the right to attend their family reunion. She didn't understand what she was doing there and with Elio on top of that.

"I guess if you're there that would mean Nieves will be there too right?"

She already knew the answer but she didn't want to accept it and that was why she asked the question again. She was surprised to see Modesto frown, thinking that his question was out of place. She just wanted to understand.

“According to what grandfather told me, it was Nieves who organized this meeting."
