The man's face softened. He looked at Consuela with a hopeful expression.
He had been teasing her all the time.
"Do you have any plans for the next few days?" Asked Consuela as she tilted her head to look out of the window. The route to the villa was familiar to her.
It was still early, so there was still a long time before lunch time. It was impossible for him to watch a movie or be in a daze for a whole day when he had a rest.
Richie closed his eyes. He didn't want to reveal too much. He said mysteriously, "you'll know when we get back."
The slightly cold and dry hand, like a radar, covered her exactly.
Lowering her head, Consuela watched their fingers interlocked. She blinked and suddenly laughed. Then she turned her head to look out of the window again.
It seemed that the world was suddenly broad and the sunshine was perfect. The thick trees on the street blocked some sunshine and cast dim shadows on the ground.
When Consuela was about to fall asleep, the man held her hand and said in a gentle, warm voice, "we can keep a cat after the baby is born."
"Why?"
"A little friend for you." Richie answered as he had a strange thought in his mind.
"But I prefer dogs. I want to have a golden hair. By that time, I can walk the dog with my child." She was imagining the blueprint she could make in the future.
The man interrupted her imagination ruthlessly and said coldly, "I think you like to be run by a dog."
She was now only a little fat because of pregnancy. When she gave birth to the baby, she could definitely not walk with such a huge pet as golden hair.
Since he was right, Consuela didn't insist anymore. She leaned her head against the car window, and as she was about to fall asleep, the man said, "I'll get a chance to raise a cat and a dog."
With her eyes closed, the woman put on a light smile. She didn't say anything but clenched her clasped hands.
She was looking forward to a bright future.
After they got back to the villa, Consuela and the man changed their fishing equipment. They got into their limousine and went to a fish pond.
It turned out that this was the so-called arrangement. In the end, it was a disguised daze.
Consuela sighed helplessly. After they were all done, the man got her a folding deck chair. Then he told her a few more words before he went to a spot not far away from her and picked up a fishing rod.
This distance was not far, but was just right.
In fact, Consuela didn't like going fishing a lot because it was an activity that needed to be absolutely quiet.
But her father liked going fishing. Johnson used to take his family to go fishing and have a picnic when he was not busy.
He had told her about fishing more than once.
Although she was not good at it, she had successfully caught half a bucket of fish at the beginning of lunch. The palm sized fish should be enough to eat.
Staring at the man who was closing his eyes and taking a rest not far away, Consuela couldn't help but wonder whether he was here for fishing or for a show.
With that, Consuela drew back the fishing line, threw a fish into the bucket, and then put more bait, waiting for the stupid fish to take the bait.
Some fishes were just very stupid. They saw their companions were locked and pulled to the surface of the water a second ago, but they would be attracted and then take the death path as their companions did.
