The president's seventh bride

Chapter 40: Jealous

Late at night, Carlos lost sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Alicia's cunning smile would emerge in

his mind. He sat up with upset and turned on the bedside lamp. But he inadvertently saw Alicia's photo

on the bedside table. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it down.

He had met annoying women before but not like Alicia distracting his heart.

In the morning, Mia was still asleep when she was woken up by a heavy knock on the door. She

rubbed her messy hair and opened the door with cursing. Alicia was standing outside the door and

pointed to the watch on her wrist, "I have told you to go downstairs to have breakfast at 7:30 on time

last night. Don't you remember?"

Mia became angry at the sight of Alicia. She said coldly, "I'm not having breakfast." Then she was

about to close the door.

"So you really want to tell this family that you always get up late in the morning?"

Sure enough, this trick worked very well. Mia frowned, "Fine, I will have it. You are so bothersome."

Mia slapped the door with a bang. But Alicia didn't care her awful attitude. She went downstairs and

saw Aurora talking to Sara from a distance happily. When Alicia came near, they immediately kept

silent.

"Sister Alicia, you are so diligent. Why is your sister so lazy? Why does she keep so many people

waiting for her?"

"Aurora, don't be rude."

Edward glared at his daughter and turned to ask Alicia, "What about that guy? Why didn't he come

down?"

Of course, the guy in Edward's words was his son Carlos. Alicia replied respectfully, "Dad, Carlos said

that he had an early meeting at the company and had gone out early."

In fact, this was the reason that she made up for Carlos. When she got up in the morning, she found

that he was not in the room, and the car originally parked outside was gone. He definitely left, but the

reason was not clear.

Alicia guessed that it was possibly because she did something awful to him last night, so he went out

early to avoid her.

Every Wednesday, Alicia had four classes, and this Wednesday was definitely the hardest day in her

teaching career. Her arms were sore and painful because of Carlos's "punishments". It was hard to

raise arms for her. Fortunately, she turned the back to the students, so they couldn't notice her painful

expression. But the words written on the blackboard were totally not like her usual handwriting.

The more painful the arms were, the more hateful Alicia was. Throughout the day, she cursed Carlos

countless times in her heart.

When she got home from work in the afternoon, she met that guy directly. She was going in and Carlos

was going out.

"Where are you going?"

Alicia was surprised to ask the two walking together, as she never thought that Carlos would walk side

by side with Mia.

"I want to meet a friend and ask Carlos to give me a ride."

"Oh, be careful on the road."

Alicia nodded calmly. Why did this guy become so nice suddenly?

"Then we're leaving, bye."

Mia was pleased. She also turned back and deliberately winked at Alicia, and the provocation was

beyond words.

"Wait."

Alicia suddenly stopped them, smiled and walked over. She kissed Carlos on the cheek unexpectedly,

"Honey, come back early. I have a surprise for you..."

Mia's look went mad. Alicia got she wanted.

"Mia wants to defeat me? Naive."

When it was time for dinner, the two had not returned yet, and Aurora couldn't help complaining, "Alicia,

why does my brother show partiality to your sister? He treated your sister better than me. Last time I

asked him to give me a ride, and I begged him for a long while, but he still didn't agree."

"He went out on business and they were at the same direction, so he gave her a ride."

Alicia explained for Carlos. Her facial expression was very calm, but she was quite uncomfortable

inside.

During the dinner, Carlos came back alone without Mia. When Sara saw her son, she asked, "Do you

have dinner?"

"Yeah."

Carlos replied shortly and then went upstairs after a glancing at the table.

After a while, Alicia's phone vibrated in her pocket, as there was a message prompt. She took it out

and saw the message, "Have you finished the dinner? Come over if you have."

The sender was Carlos. This was the first time for Alicia to receive his text message. Alicia didn't

expect a guy who was so critical to have such a patience to text her, which was really shocking.

"Mom and dad, I have finished. Enjoy yourself and I go upstairs first."

Alicia was always so polite. Only she paid attention to these manners in this family, so she won the love

of her parents-in-law.

Upstairs, the door was open. Alicia walked in and asked the man standing at the window, "What's up?"

Carlos turned around and reached out hands jokingly, "What's the surprise?"

Alicia was shocked at first, and then smiled, "I said that if you came back early. But it's getting late now.

So my promise won't work."

"It's late now?"

Carlos said, deliberately raising the watch on his wrist to let her see, "Watch carefully, it's not late. And

what about your watch?" He also raised her hand.

"Ouch..." Alicia screamed with pain. She really hoped God would pity her arms as they might be

disabled by this guy.

"Nice try."

Carlos threw off her arm aside without gentleness, and there came another scream from Alicia. She

was completely annoyed, "Are you insane? You were so kind to me two days ago, and now you torture

me like this? I am telling you. I can't stand it. I want to ..."

Alicia actually wanted to say "divorce", but her potential intellect came back. So this word was

swallowed back difficultly.

"What do you want?"

"Got to sleep."

Alicia answered unnaturally, and then went into her own small chamber. She took out her pajamas to

take a shower. But she dared not to enjoy his jacuzzi, so she went to Aurora's room with the clothes.

"Alicia, what is this about?"

"Can I use your bathroom?"

"Isn't there one in my brother's room?"

"He is using it."

"Then why don't you wait for him to finish?"

"He is so slow, and I just can't wait."

Aurora nodded and let her in, "Okay, okay, you can use mine."

Alicia didn't use the bathtub, but she directly stood under the shower head to wash herself. She was a

little upset. Just now, she should ask Carlos why he suddenly went so close to that b*tch Mia.

After taking a shower, Alicia returned to Carlos's room without any stay. She wanted to figure out her

doubts, but there was no one in the room. "Where did he go?"

Alicia muttered, considering that he might be downstairs. So she went downstairs to search him. But

she didn't see him anywhere. His car was still in the yard outside. So Alicia guessed that he wouldn't go

far and she decided to wait for him upstairs.

Just when she arrived at the stairs, she inadvertently saw the light in the next room. Did Mia come

back?

In fact, Mia did come back, shortly after Alicia entered Aurora's room to take bath.

Mia was a gross b*tch. She might be raised in a decent family but her nature was slutty, even the

strippers could not compare with her. She would steal the man that she wanted via any unspeakable

conspiracies.

However, she failed most of the time with her beautiful appearance but little cleverness.

Just like this moment, the first thing that Mia did when she returned was to reach her brother-in-law

Carlos. When she accidentally found that her sister was not there, she felt that her chance finally came.

She immediately ran back to her room, took off her clothes and put on sexy pajamas. Then she

deliberately jumped out of bed, and dialed Carlos's number, calling in a poor and cute tone, "Carlos,

please come quickly. I accidentally fell down. Now it seems that my ankle is twisted. Please, I can't

walk..."

Carlos hung up the phone and came to the next room. He saw Mia sitting on the ground, who was

holding her knees and looking painful. He asked indifferently, "Are you okay?"

"Carlos, how can I be okay? Please carry me quickly. This floor is so cold..."

Carlos held out one hand, but Mia shook her head. "No, I can't stand up by myself. If I can make it, I Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

won't call you."

Mia clung to her ankles with a sad look as if she would die if Carlos didn't save her.

"Did you really fall down?"

Facing Carlos's questioning, Mia tried to squeeze out tears, "Don't you believe me? If you don't believe

it, you can touch my ankle to check. I'm afraid that the bone has broken."

Carlos didn't want to waste more time on her. Although he hated women, he couldn't lose the manner

of a gentleman. He impatiently lowered himself and carried her to the bed. Meanwhile, Mia settled in

his arms like a young girl who just fell in love. At this moment, Mia felt she was the happiest woman in

the world.

When Alicia came to the guest room, she happened to see this intimate scene. She opened her eyes

wide in disbelief. But she said nothing and left with anger.

Carlos was quite embarrassed. He put Mia on the bed and then wanted to chase Alicia. Mia didn't

expect him to leave her there like this. In a hurry, she stood up and dragged him due to worry, "Carlos,

you haven't applied the medicine for me yet."

Carlos looked at her feet, and his face suddenly turned cold. Mia suddenly realized her own mistake

and moved her ankle in embarrassment, "Wow, it seems that you are as powerful as god. You just give

a look at it, and my ankle has recovered..."

Carlos was totally speechless and snorted unhappily. He left immediately without any hesitation.

Back to the room, Alicia was sitting on the sofa, waiting for Carlos with a gloomy look.

"Hey, when are you going to send your sister back? It's very inconvenient that she lives here. Do you

know that?"

Hilarious! Now he was the one complaining about the inconvenience firstly. Alicia wore a mocking smile

and said, "Inconvenient for whom? Do you mean yourself? No way, I thought that you two were getting

along with each other well. Are you not enjoying it?"

"Wow, it sounds weird." Carlos walked up to Alicia, bent down near this woman and asked, "You are

jealous, right?"
