The Rise of the Abject Man (Al Detective)
Chapter 56

Alvaro smears Joana's lips gently, making Joana close her eyes, the man then smacks her lips making Joana feel her heart tremble.

The kiss that Alvaro gave him was not so long ago, probably because he realized the ringleader they were riding in would stop soon

Alvaro let go of their kiss, "Hm it feels so sour, still I don't like orange juice."

Joana immediately opened her eyes, she stared annoyedly at Alvaro, apparently the man kissed her lips just to try the taste of the orange juice she was drinking.

After the ring stopped, Alvaro opened the door. "Let's get down, we gotta go home."

Joana just muttered, she's already pissed off by Alvaro.

Once they were at home, they were busy in their respective rooms with their own thoughts.

Alvaro's kiss inside the ring had left Joana unable to sleep tonight. Though she and Alvaro had done more than just a kiss, but somehow she felt her heart tremble when Alvaro kissed her lips.

Alvaro's kiss was so still very felt, as if Alvaro's lips were still attached to Joana's lips, luma-tan and lips still felt as if they were real, the man's kiss was very intoxicating.

Although in fact Joana was very upset with Alvaro, because after Alvaro kissed his lips, the man looked ordinary, he said, it was as if he was kissing Joana because it was indeed to feel how orange juice was drunk by Joana.

"Maybe he's acting so calm like that after kissing me." joana grumbled. I don't know what Joana was expecting after they kissed.

Joana felt her stomach rung, but three hours ago she had dinner with Alvaro, but the hunger was crashing back into her stomach, thrashing to fill it immediately.

"But last night I had dinner, but I was hungry again." complained Joana as she rubbed her stomach.

Joana has no idea, that Alvaro also can't actually sleep tonight, she's like a crazy person smiling alone when thinking about how his first meeting with Joana, he was, when she has absolutely no idea that Joana is Bianca's sister-in-law.

Sometimes there is a way of Joana that can make Alvaro smile, the woman is very sweet, can act funny, and make her anxious. After Joana was present in his life, Alvaro seemed like a madman, he often smiled alone.

Alvaro became curious, what Joana was doing tonight, he immediately got out of bed, then sat on the sofa chair in his room, then he checked his laptop, he said, she just wanted to know if Joana was asleep or not tonight.

"What did that woman do?" muttered Alvaro while watching Joana's movements behind the screen of his laptop.

Alvaro saw Joana cooking fried noodles, the woman was busy slicing sausages to put in the noodles in the pan, but perhaps it was because Joana was too fast when slicing the sausage, making the knife she was holding accidentally hit her index finger.

"Aw!" Joana grimaced a little, her index finger bleeding.

Alvaro is surprised to see him, he immediately runs out of the room, to help Joana, until he has to go through the stairs to get down from the top floor.

Joana turned her back when she heard the sound of someone walking towards the kitchen, "Al, why are you here?"

Alvaro did not answer Joana's question, the man grabbed Joana's injured hand, "Why are you so careless?" his nag.

Joana did not answer, she did not understand why Alvaro could know he was injured, whether Alvaro also often noticed himself when he was at home.

Joana looked at Alvaro who was treating the wound on his index finger, the man looked very worried about Joana.

"Let me cook, you wait at the dinner table" Alvaro said softly.

"But this Al is just a small wound."

Alvaro holds Joana instead, leaving Joana shocked, "Al!"

Joana does not understand, not like Alvaro usually behave this softly to her, is it possible that this is the true personality of an Alvaro? Joana can't read anything in Alvaro.

Alvaro drops Joana in the dining room, helping Joana to sit there. Alvaro soon returns to the kitchen to continue cooking his fried noodles for Joana.

'What does he really want from me? Who the hell are you, Al?' Joana was very curious about a man who had the status of her husband. Joana was just afraid that she would get hurt in the end.
