Chapter 1167 True Friendship

In the "Big Four Era", every move of the four players was put under the spotlight and carefully studied, and there were almost no secrets inside and outside their lives.

Naturally, their partners are no exception. They live in the spotlight all year round and play different important roles in their lives.

However, compared with the partners of the other Big Three, Nadal's girlfriend Perello is very low-key and almost invisible in front of the media cameras.

Perello and Nadal's sister Isabel are childhood friends. They knew each other when they were seven years old, including Nadal, of course, but at that time they were just childhood friends.

In 2005, Nadal and Perillo held hands to confirm their relationship, and they officially got engaged in 2007. That year, Nadal was 21 years old and Perillo was 19 years old.

However, it was not until Wimbledon in 2010 that Perello appeared in Nadal's player box for the first time and was discovered by the media, who then confirmed the relationship.

From the very beginning, Nadal has never had any scandals, and he doesn't even have many social activities off the court. After confirming the relationship, they have been very stable and have been together for a long time. Their love is stronger than gold. Even with Nadal's injuries and the low point of his career, this relationship has withstood all the tests.

However, for the media, there is really a lack of explosive points and nothing good to write home about.

Since the relationship was confirmed in 2005, Perillo has only accepted one public media interview; except for appearing in Nadal's player box during Grand Slam events, he has not accompanied Nadal in other global competitions. He is so low-key that the media made a mistake.

For a long, long time, the media always called Perello "Xisca", but in fact, no one in Nadal's family ever called Perello that. People close to her always affectionately called her "Mery", but no one ever corrected the media.

reason?

It's simple, the media called it the wrong name, which is perfect. In this way, all reports will not disturb Nadal and Perello's lives.

While Nadal was competing around the world, Perello also had his own job and career.

Perello is responsible for the operations of the Nadal Foundation, which specializes in helping disadvantaged children around the world.

Normally, Perello is always busy with work and is a typical white-collar worker. He does not revolve around Nadal and is almost absent from Nadal's celebration parties and social occasions. In addition, he does not have a personal social network account, so he has no presence in front of the public.

When Gawain learned that this was Perillo's idea, his surprise and astonishment were even greater than before.

After a few brief encounters and personal interactions with Nadal, Gao Wen clearly realized that Nadal is a player who attaches great importance to personal privacy.

Although he knows that it is almost impossible for a public figure to completely separate his life and work, he has been doing his best to protect his family and his own life, and avoid being completely involved and eventually losing himself.

It is also because of this that Nadal is always particularly cautious when talking about personal privacy; in addition, he does not have the eloquence of Federer, so when talking about these issues, he is inevitably restrained and shy, and more or less uncomfortable.

So far, Gao Wen and Nadal's sister Isabelle have met several times.

Because Isabel worked in Nadal's public relations team and her extrovert personality was filled with Spanish enthusiasm and liveliness, there was no need for Gawain to say hello. Isabel would always take the initiative to step forward and greet him. After a few interactions, the young people became quite familiar with each other, which broke down the social barriers.

Later, Gao Wen learned that Isabel's close friends and family often called her "Maribel", a combination of her first name and middle name, which seemed unique and intimate.

Most importantly, there is a little story behind it——

Maribel half-jokingly said, "There's nothing I can do. There are too many Marias in our family. In order to distinguish them, I have to sacrifice myself."

"Shh, this is a secret, Rafa must not know about it." After saying that, Maribel mysteriously asked Gawain to keep it a secret.

Obviously, this joke was veiled in meaning and was secretly directed at her best friend and future sister-in-law.

Regardless of whether the story is true or not, in Gao Wen's opinion, it should just be a joke, but it can be felt that Nadal is very protective of his family and privacy, doing his best to prevent them from being hurt and to protect their personal lives from being affected.

So, imagine Gawain's shock and surprise when Nadal said it was Perillo's idea.

Nadal noticed Gawain's gaze and couldn't help but shake his head slightly, his face full of helplessness, "I knew that if I said that, you would have such an expression."

Gao Wen showed an innocent expression, "What's wrong with me? My expression is very sincere, okay? Rafa, I was born like this, you can't be like this."

Nadal was amused by Gawain's words. He shook his head and raised his hand to point at Gawain, "You know that's not what I meant."

Gawain did not continue to talk nonsense, but pretended to listen attentively, and his eager expression sent a signal: What does that mean? Nadal opened his mouth, but was speechless. Finally, he sighed, "You should partner with Roger to do a talk show."

"Haha!" Gao Wen burst into laughter.

Later, it was Maribel who gave Gawain the answer.

Originally, Nadal was going to drive himself and escort Gawain and his party to their residence. They arranged a single-family villa for Gawain instead of a hotel.

But apparently, the lineup of Gawain and his crew was slightly beyond expectations, so the plan had to be adjusted.

Fortunately, as a public relations officer, Maribel did not panic in the face of the unexpected situation. She temporarily mobilized vehicles and quickly solved the problem.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

There were two cars in total, leaving the airport and heading towards the destination.

As soon as I got on the bus——

"You should have informed me in advance."

Maribel was more outgoing, quick-witted, and bluntly rolled her eyes at Gawain.

"It's really rude of us not to be prepared for the arrival of a distinguished guest. God, Steffie came along, and you didn't even think of saying hello?"

Maribel raised her hand and punched Gawain on the arm. She also showed off her fist proudly, blowing on it and wiping it to maintain her "weapon".

"Oh!" Gawain deliberately made an exaggerated cry, "One second you were welcoming us to Mallorca, and the next second you treated us like this. Is that really okay?"

"Maribel!" Nadal scolded in a low voice.

Just like his obsessive-compulsive style on the court, Nadal is also like this in life. Even when joking, he often attaches great importance to boundaries and propriety, and always maintains politeness and grace.

Maribel didn't dare to talk back to her brother. She turned to look at Gawain and silently protested with her mouth, "Look!"

Gawain raised his hands in a gesture of surrender, as if someone was pointing a gun at his head. His innocent expression was very funny.

Not to mention Maribel, even Nadal couldn't help laughing when he saw this scene in the rearview mirror.
