They spoke, and we learnt that Alfredo and Esperanza have been engaged for a while. Additionally, they have not yet gotten married.
Alfredo went to the neighbors one day with his father. Alfredo finally met Julia Salas.
As times, Alfredo and Julia felt connected. After a few days, Alfredo unexpectedly met with Julia again. At first, he felt he had feelings for Julia, but he soon realized that he was already engaged to another woman.
After the morning church one Sunday, Esperanza accidentally questioned Alfredo about the visits they had. He began to have uneasy thoughts about the girl who lived next door. After each mass, Alfredo noticed that he was eager to go neighboring. Esperanza ended the conversation because she thought that if a man was engaged, he could not possibly love another woman. Alfredo gave an untruthful response, claiming that he went home to work or that occasionally he went neighboring with Don Julian to Judge del Valle's house.
Despite his reluctance, Alfredo decided to marry Esperanza.
After 8 years. When he was investigating a case, Alfredo met into Julia once again. He felt that Julia is lacking something, specifically his feelings for her. But he finally once realized Esperanza was the one he really loved.
