Flash Marriage Makes A Perfect Match

Gabrio slowly put his clothes back on and went out to meet Marco.

He poured Marco a glass of water: “There is only tap water here, General Pastrano will be satisfied.

Most of the people at the Institute were a bit eccentric and had similar habits, mostly drinking nothing but water.

“Thank you.

Marco took a sip and put it down.

Gabrio took a seat opposite him and did not initiate the conversation, waiting for Marco to speak.

“Getting used to being here?”

Gabrio looked at Marco with surprise.

Of course he knew why Marco had come to see him today, but he didn’t expect Marco to ask those questions first.

Gabrio’s response was terse: “I’ve got used to it.

“Hmm.” Marco nodded and took another sip from his glass of water to hide his embarrassment.

He could not be ashamed that he, a big man, had to step in to manage his sister’s emotional affairs.

Whatever happened, I could never let Alaric and Gabrio be together.

Deliberating, he finally got to the point: “Alaric is always after you, giving you a lot of trouble, isn’t he?

Gabrio raised his eyes to hers and nodded imperceptibly: “It does bother me in that sense, but it shouldn’t come to me anymore.

Marco’s lips twitched, why did it sound as if Gabrio was upset with Alaric?

The Pastrano family was protective, their mentality was that there was only one man his sister could not look at, and no man could look at his sister.

“General Pastrano, let’s be frank, I have no thoughts about your sister, I’m too busy with my investigations to talk about love, the best thing would be for you to put Miss Salguero out of your mind, then you’d have much less trouble”.

With that, Gabrio stood up: “I have to work, General Pastrano, make yourself comfortable.

With that, he got up and entered the laboratory.

Marco’s voice sounded behind him: “Someone to see you.

Gabrio’s steps faltered slightly and he looked back up at him, his eyes flickering slightly before quickly returning to calm.

“No.”

Spitting out the words coldly, he turned and headed inside.

Marco watched Gabrio enter the lab and stood for a few seconds before leaving.

He had known Gabrio before what happened with Grizzi.

Gabrio was Carmencita’s closest cousin and, although they were not related by blood, they had a good relationship, although Gabrio’s parents were distant and the two families were in different cities, so they didn’t see each other much, but the bond was there.

Because of this relationship, the two families always met, and Marco was a neighbour of the Carmencita family, so by chance, he met Gabrio.

When she found out about Gabrio’s relationship with Grizzi, she told Carmencita’s father.

Carmencita’s words were “the boy is good, we have to protect him”.

Therefore, even if Severo had not addressed him, he would not have done anything to Gabrio.

However, the change in Gabrio is quite significant, but it is not superficial, but internal.

…

Gabrio has been a bit distracted all day.

For no other reason than Marco’s last words.

Someone wanted to see him.

Who?

In this vast City of Heaven, the person who wanted to see him could be guessed at first glance.

It was Severo or Allyce.

Severo would not want to see it of his own free will.

It would be … Allyce.

Do you want to meet?

Of course.

But I didn’t want to either.

He had known nothing to convince him since the end of the Grizzi affair and his arrival in Sky City, he realised.

Except in relation to Allyce.

At lunchtime, the assistant went out to do some shopping and returned with a look of despair on his face.

Gabrio looked at him: “What?

The assistant was a graduate student who had arrived with good skills and was stable compared to his peers, which suited Gabrio’s needs.

The assistant had a rare stuttering look on his face, a look of wanting to say something but not knowing how to say it.

“If you don’t want to say it, don’t say it”.

He didn’t want to talk, and Gabrio wasn’t very interested in listening.

The assistant glanced at Gabrio’s upright and somewhat distant back and said: “Miss Salguero is outside.

And it looked like he had been on duty for a long time.

Alaric had come to see Gabrio before, so the assistant also knew Alaric.

Without looking up, Gabrio said: “Put that thought into your research and sooner or later you’ll get it right too”.

The assistant blushed at his unkind words and lowered her head, not daring to speak again.

Gabrio knew that Alaric would not take it that way.

When you were young, it was like that, with enthusiasm, and patience, and courage.

It’s just that little by little, as you get older, those good qualities wear out and you end up chickening out and going with the flow.

Like him.

He did not like to do research, and he was fine as a doctor.

But his destiny soon slipped from his grasp.

After that, he did a lot of things unintentionally.

If it wasn’t for his parents, he wouldn’t even want to go to high school, and if he went to jail, so be it, he didn’t care anyway.

To do wrong was to suffer the consequences, and that was nothing to fear.

For several days, Alaric stood at the entrance of the Institute, trying to meet Gabrio.

The doorman couldn’t bear to see a young woman standing at the door in the cold.From NôvelDrama.Org.

But Gabrio remained indifferent, more indifferent than anyone else.

Gabrio just stayed at the Institute and his assistant got a bit fed up: “Doctor Ortis, can’t you go and see Miss Salguero?”

When Marco had sent him to the Institute, he had kept his affair with Grizzi a secret from all but the top brass.

As he had been the head of the “K7” team, the director was very generous and appointed him director.

Gabrio did not refuse.

Gabrio did not put on a good face and turned to his assistant and said in a stern tone: “She is at the door every day and she is already causing problems in my life, do I have to see her?

“At Miss Salguero’s insistence …,” the aide said, “she feels very sorry for Miss Salguero.”

Gabrio returned to the task at hand and said in a languid tone: “There is a lot of persistence in the world, and it is useless in itself.

No one understood the meaning of persistence better than he did.

He had loved Allyce with persistence and patience for many years, even passing away in between.

Looking back now, it had been nothing more than an exercise in futility.

However, he had no regrets.

The audience froze, the first half of Gabrio’s sentence sounding extraordinarily grim.
