Chapter 7: My husband has no money, no car, no home
Severo turned the steering wheel with his big, strong hands. The car sped off. Allyce stared at his handsome profile for a long time before looking back: “That car …” .
“Someone will sort it out …” …

After Allyce walked out the door of the civil office with her marriage certificate in hand, she turned to look at the mysterious and charming Severo.
“Will you marry me?”
Severo’s eyes darkened and he asked with interest: “Or do you think you can make me?
Doubt appeared on Allyce’s face, he said in an icy voice: “Do you know what kind of man I am? Yesterday, in Gindis, what they were saying was true. My mother died tragically while giving birth to me, my father is in jail, and I had a miscarriage when I was in high school.”
He said these words almost maliciously, expecting to see a sudden change in Severo’s face, which did not change even when a mountain collapsed in front of him.
However, he merely smiled meaningfully, with eyes as deep as a whirlpool”. I know nothing more, and as to the question of whether you have had an abortion, I know better than they do.”
The smile widened when he stopped talking.
“You …” Allyce had understood what he meant, and then blushed.
Severo looked at her, who could not speak, with satisfaction. He grabbed her shoulders: “Come on, Mrs. Betances, we should go home”.
Allyce looked at the arbitrary hand resting on her shoulder. The anger on her face did not go away: “Get your hands off me! .
I was not used to touching this man, let alone this stranger.
Severo did not let go of her hand and forced her into his own car.
“Why are you getting in the car?” Allyce looked at the man sitting in his car at ease. He frowned again.
Severo waved the marriage certificate in his hand: “I’m sure that’s why we’re going to your house”.
Seeing that Allyce did not speak, Severo leaned closer to her. He seemed to know everything through her eyes: “Do you think I agreed to marry you just to get this marriage certificate?
Allyce leaned back slightly. Leaning against the window, she felt a little cold in her super-short dress.
She didn’t know why Severo had agreed to marry her. Anyway, she only wanted the marriage certificate, not really to be his wife.
However, as he looked into Severo’s shrewd eyes, he could only lie without blushing and say, “No”.
“That’s good.
Severo said as he raised his hand as if to touch her face, and Allyce bent down, leaving his hand in the air.
Severo withdrew his hand. Allyce’s lips curved slightly, as she seemed to have calmed her anger.
He thought for a moment and said: “Aren’t we supposed to live in your house when we get married?
“I don’t have a house in Cloud City,” Severo said emotionlessly, closing his eyes slightly and leaning back.
Homeless and with a borrowed car?
Allyce turned her head and looked at Severo again, the workmanship of the clothes he was wearing was unmistakable, but the texture was very good. One look told me that he wasn’t cheap, plus he had a prominent aura…
He didn’t look very poor!
But he didn’t seem to be lying.
So her husband, surprisingly married, had no money, no car, no house?
Allyce gritted her teeth and decided that it was no big deal to put up with him for a while, and that she would divorce him when she got her shares back.
Allyce takes Severo to her bachelor flat.
The house had two bedrooms and a living room, not very big, but big enough for one person, but a bit cramped for two.
Allyce opened the door and entered the house first. She searched for a while and finally found a pair of men’s slippers. She placed them neatly in front of Severo: “You can put them on! .
Severo looked at the men’s slippers in front of him; he said nothing, just lowered his eyelids, took off his shoes and left the slippers there.
Looking at Severo’s back, Allyce felt a little puzzled. She looked at the slippers and, after a moment, realised why. Her reaction was really slow. She was a single woman, but she had prepared a pair of men’s slippers!
