CHAPTER 187

------------------------------ NEXT DAY LUNCH TIME --------------------------

Alice and Luna were sitting on the sofa in the living room talking while waiting for Sol to arrive, Luís and Matteo were cooking and Arthur was behind his father still missing being with him, so Luís allowed him to help in the cooking by getting the ingredients

Alice - Daughter, are you sure you want to receive Sol?

Luna - I am mother, I know she has made me hell all my life, but I can't turn my back on her now. She is also a victim of that wretch and in her case it is worse mommy.

Alice - you have your father's good heart, I don't know if it was me I would do the same and you are really not going to tell me what she wants?

Luna - No really, that is for her to tell you, but she also wants to apologize to everyone.

Alice - I don't have to forgive anything, those who have to forgive are you and Matteo, you are the ones who were affected, if it's okay with you, it's okay with me too.

Luna - Thank you mom for supporting me, that is important to me.

-Intercom rings -

Arthur - I'll get it - I run out - ah Sol, you can let her in, we're waiting for her, ok bye - hang up - the pain in the ass has arrived

Luna - Arthur - scolding

Arthur - what? did I lie by any chance? - Matteo and Luís appear right behind -

Matteo - No, you didn't lie, dear, but don't treat her badly, let's make a little effort for Luna and she also has a baby in her belly, it's not her fault the boring mother

Arthur - you're right, I promise to behave just for the sake of the baby

Luna - goes to the door when she hears knocking on the door - hello Sol, you can come in - the two hug each other a bit awkwardly

Sol - thank you, excuse me - coming in - hello everybody I know most of you can't drink so I brought a chocolate pie for dessert

Luis - oh no need, but thank you dear, I will take care of it, sit down, feel free

Sol - You don't have to be all polite to me I know that nobody likes me here and I know that I deserved it

Sol's eyes were swollen, it was clear that she had cried a lot, she was without make-up and wearing a sweatshirt, her joy and arrogance seemed to have disappeared, she was just a weakened girl

Alice - look honey, I don't love you to death, but if it's okay with my daughter and you're welcome here. No one will mistreat you, rest assured.

Luna - You can rest assured that you are safe here, nothing will happen to you.

Luis - How come you are safe, daughter? - Raises his eyebrow

Matteo - What is going on here?

Luna - we can eat first, then we can talk - making a sign that Arthur should not be together with his head - then we can talk about this, it is very serious

Luís - Of course, I think it's better too, let's all eat, I hope you like the food

Arthur - There is no way she won't like it, daddy made it, isn't it girl - he speaks harshly

Sun - Yes, I am sure she does

Alice - Get ready to eat healthy food, because that is what Luis makes the pregnant women in this apartment eat

Matteo - Don't be so hard on my godfather, yesterday you went all out with Mexican food

Luna - it's true baby, you are right - hugging him from the side - let's all go to the table

Arthur - Look how beautiful it is, I arranged it with Matteo's help

Sol - it's really beautiful, congratulations.

Luís - Well, come and help me, Matteo, let's serve the ladies first. Matteo and Luís serve everyone with a plate of spring salad, and Arthur puts the dressings on the table.

Matteo - I hope you like the salad - soon they are serving orange juice and water for everyone

Sol - it looks very tasty, at least it's quite nice. Thank you

Luis - Well, as I didn't know anything about your taste, I tried to make something healthy that everyone can enjoy, after the salad I will serve gorgonzola risotto and salmon fillet with asparagus

Luna - huum you will love it, my father is a success in the kitchen

They eat while chatting Luna and Luis all the time make Sol well received, Matteo, Alice and Arthur do not treat her badly, but also do not manage to be repetitive. After they finish lunch Alice decides to send Arthur to his room

Alice - Son, now that you have finished eating you can go to your room and play video games.

Arthur - at the best time, Mom? oh, don't let me stay

Luís - this is adult conversation, children, go to your room and don't listen to me hiding.

Arthur - I hate being a child, what a drag - leaving to the room

Alice - well my little one is gone what do you have to tell us Sol?
