Alla didn't want to make this kind of bet with the patriarch. Neither Casiano nor she was a tool for producing children.
The patriarch, however, ended the call immediately after speaking.
His arbitrary nature was indeed very similar to Casiano's...
After holding her phone for a moment, Alla sent a text to Casiano: [Did you talk to your grandfather?]
Casiano, who had just gotten out of his car, saw the message and typed a reply with his head down: [Come out and see me.]
Alla glanced out the floor-to-ceiling window and saw the man, amidst the falling snowflakes, standing beside a luxurious car, draped in a black coat.
She quickly stood up, donned a thick coat around her, and headed outside the villa...
As she pushed open the villa's door, she saw the man approach and sweep her off the steps into his arms.
Alla let out a cry of surprise, and before she could react, the man unfolded his black coat, enveloping her small frame inside it.
