The Casa Del Castaneda

Aneh

After the meeting with Amoroso Barbossa was over, Paloma was about to meet Sebastian. However, it was unexpected that Rogelio even invited them to lunch together. Paloma already knew that his father had deliberately done so, in order to limit his closeness with Sebastian.

“We had lunch at my residence only,” take Elazar. “The distance is only about fifteen minutes from here,” the man said again, opening the door for Paloma.

“Ah! That's not a bad idea,” Rogelio said. He welcomed the invitation from Elazar.

Meanwhile, Paloma was too lazy to respond. Nor could he argue with his father in the presence of Elazar. Eventually, Luz Maria's mother agreed to this. He got into the car, then sat gracefully in the back seat. Rogelio accompanied Elazar in the front seat.

During the trip, Paloma took the time to send a message to Kalida. He asked about Luz Maria. It's sad, because lately Paloma often leaves the child.

After getting a reply via a short video showing Luz Maria's activities, Paloma felt much calmer. He saw the one-and-a-half-year-old toddler playing.

A moment later, Paloma sent Sebastian a message. He canceled their meeting plans, as he was heading to the Elazar residence.

What are you going there for?

A reply from Sebastian, implying the less-than-loving tone of the handsome forty-year-old widower.

He invited us to lunch.

Paloma gave the answer. The woman exhaled softly after sending the message.

You've just met, and he's invited you and Mr Gallardo to lunch at his residence? I know that Elazar isn't the kind of person who likes guests. He rarely even invited people who came to enter his residence.

Paloma was about to reply to the message. However, Elazar's vehicle has arrived in front of the two-story building, with the dominance of white. Elazar, who did not like to use a private driver, stopped his luxury car in front of the gate.

Suddenly, a man in a special uniform came over. He's in charge of parking the master's vehicle into the garage. The building is next to the house. I don't know what the reason Elazar built a residence with such a design.

“Mari. The waiter has prepared lunch for us,” invited him accompanied by a warm smile. It seemed, the handsome widower had indeed planned the luncheon.

“We become troublesome,” said Rogelio is not tasty, when he saw a variety of typical Spanish dishes that are ready at the dinner table.

“Have you planned this, Mr Blanco?” paloma asked with a slightly strange-sounding tone. Paloma was guessing, deducing who was right after reading a message from Sebastian.

“I hope you don't mind,” says Elazar took a neutral answer.

“We are actually very flattered,” reply Rogelio friendly.

“Do not overdo it, Father,” whispered Paloma.

Rogelio, however, seemed unwilling to respond. He sat down immediately, after Elazar invited him. Elazar even intended to rewind one seat for Paloma. However, the woman immediately rejected him subtly. “Thank you, Mr. Blanco. I don't like to bother others too much.” Paloma said as he sat down.

“It's okay, Mrs Hernandez. I don't mind at all. It's great to receive such special guests as you and Mr. Gallardo,” Elazar replied while sitting in one of the seats. “Please enjoy all available menus. Is there anything less? Just say it, no need to hesitate," he said.

“Ah, no. This is more than enough,” Rogelio replied. He began to taste the dishes before him. Elazar and Paloma.

Paloma replied to the father with a wry smile. He should be more understanding, with Rogelio's strange attitude. The middle-aged man's emotions were unstable, due to a sense of loss that was too soul-shaking.

“You need not worry, Mr. Gallardo. I will always be ready to help, if Mrs Hernandez has difficulties or ...”

“Thank you in advance, Mr. Blanco. You don't have to bother. I'm sure if your busyness must be very dense,” reject Paloma smooth.

“It's okay. Madame. I'm happy if I can help,” reply Elazar. “Ah! What if I find a place to stay in Porcuna? That way, your mobility will be easier. You also do not feel wrong because you have to leave Luz Maria if the distance is close,” the man suggested.

“Yes, that's a very good idea. I totally agree. What about you, Paloma?” Rogelio turned his attention to the beautiful widow who did not immediately respond.

Paloma thought for a moment. It must be admitted that the idea given by Elazar does make a lot of sense. “I think it should be.” Paloma nodded in agreement. “I received your help this time, Mr. Blanco,” Paloma said slowly.

“Good. I'll find a place to live that is not too far from the company.” Elazar smiled meaningfully. The smile that made Paloma suddenly feel uncomfortable. The woman immediately turned her eyes in another direction.

Moments later, the lunch was over. However, Rogelio was still engrossed in talking to Elazar. Meanwhile, Paloma was already uncomfortable being there. Moreover, because Sebastian suddenly contacted him. Paloma decided to go out and sit on the terrace.

“Where are you now?” ask Sebastian full of questions.

“I'm still at Elazar residence,” Paloma reply slowly.

“Jeez, very long time. What the hell are you doing there?” sebastian protest doesn't like it. In fact, he and Paloma have not been bound by any relationship. However, Sebastian's attitude has been very protective of the widow of one child.

“We just finished lunch. My father is still talking to Elazar,” Paloma replied unwell.

“Then, I'll take you there.” Sebastian, who was sitting behind the desk, immediately got out of the chair. He stepped near the door without turning off the phone. Not yet had the man touched the handle, the door had already been opened from the outside. Sebastian was quite surprised as he moved back.

“Jeez, Mr.” Leandra laughed crisply. “I'm sorry,” he said. He covered his mouth with his palm.

“You surprised me, Leandra.” Sebastian clucked slowly.

“Sorry, Sir,” said Leandra still with her laugh. “I just wanted to let you know that it's lunch time. Moreover, this morning you did not have breakfast. It's a pity for your body if it's filled with just a cup of coffee.”

“Thank you, Leandra. I have to go first,” reject Sebastian. He realized that he was still on the phone with Paloma. However, Paloma had already heard the light conversation earlier.

Sebastian rushed out of the study. He paid no attention to Leandra who was still standing at the door. “Paloma? Are you still there?” tanyanya while walking down the corridor.

“Yes, Sebastian,” Paloma replied slowly. Suddenly, he felt lazy to continue the conversation.

“I'll pick you up there,” Sebastian said again. He had almost opened the vehicle door in the courtyard.

“I don't think it's necessary, Sebastian. Me and dad will go home with ushered by Elazar,” reject Paloma, which immediately makes Sebastian fixated.
