The president's seventh bride

Chapter 54: Flattered

Alicia found a quiet place and picked up the phone, “Hello?”

“Where does your classmate live?”

Carlos suddenly asked, and she was even more disturbed, “Why do you ask?”

“I happened to pass through T City on a business trip. If the wedding was over, I can stop by and pick

you up.”

Her hanging heart instantly fell, and she politely declined, “It’s okay. I have to stay for two more days.

You go back first.”

“Oh, okay.” Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

He hung up the phone decisively and didn't even say goodbye. Alicia didn't mind it. It was a miracle

that he could call her on his own initiative.

Returning to the cafe, her mood suddenly became bright. She caught a glimpse of Dillon having an

argument with his son from a short distance away and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “What's

wrong?”

“Alicia, I don't want to go home with my dad, I want to be with you.”

Everything is pricy on Felix, but not his tears. Though he was already in his twenties, he cried a lot.

“Will you go or not? I'll break your leg if you don't.”

Dillon was about to do it as he spoke. Alicia hurriedly stopped him, “Alright, Dillon, don't you still have

things to do? Just do your thing. I’ll take Felix home.”

“Is it okay? Will it bother you?”

“It's fine, no worries.”

“Alright then, I'll go first, and call me when you arrive.”

Dillon nodded slightly to Alicia, said goodbye and turned and left.

Mia’s facial expression hasn’t looked good since Dillon appeared. The calmer Alicia seemed, the

angrier she was, “You guys colluded to act in front of me and don’t think that I’ll believe it. Listen

carefully. One day I will tear your mask off fiercely and make you lose all your reputation and have

nowhere to stand on in this world!”

“Then you listen carefully. The person who should go to the hell will definitely not be me.”

After she finished speaking, Alicia took Felix's hand and walked out of the cafe with her chin up.

“Alicia, where are you taking me to?”

“Home.”

“I won't go home unless you come home with me...”

“Yes, I will go home with you.”

She sighed, took out her phone, and unexpectedly saw an unread text, “I have cooperated with you

and done everything that should be done. I hope you will fulfill your promise as soon as possible.”

The sender was Dillon.

Her mood just brightened up and now it was getting gloomy.

On the way to the airport, she hesitated for a long time before she spoke to Felix beside her, “Felix,

when you get home, tell your father that you don't like me and don't want to marry me as a wife, okay?”

Felix was startled, and answered truthfully, “But I like you, I want you to be my wife.”

“Although you like me, I don’t have to be your wife, besides, you don't understand the meaning of like.”

“I understand, mom told me that if you miss someone, you like someone. And the person I miss most is

you, Alicia.”

“That's not like, it's just dependence.”

“I don’t care what it is, I just like you anyway!”

“...”

With his innocence, Alicia really felt helpless.

After three hours of flying, Felix was finally sent home safely at ten o’clock in the evening. His mother

was happy to see her son back, so she didn’t bother to criticize Alicia. She cried and laughed, holding

her son, until he fell asleep on her shoulders.

Seeing that Felix was asleep, Alicia got up and left. Although Mrs. Lee was a little unhappy, she didn't

want to force it. She just told her to solve her issue in B City as soon as possible, and then came back

to Felix, and fulfilled her promise of taking care of him for the rest of her life.

After stepping out of Lee's House, Alicia was exhausted. She wandered back and forth between B City

and T City for two days. Not to mention the huge physical exertion, she also suffered from inhuman

torture psychologically.

She was really tired of living in the chaotic life of telling one lie to make up for another lie every day, but

what could she do? At this point, she had no way back...

Where should she go? She walked aimlessly along the empty road. In fact, she could stay at Lee's

House for one night, but she didn't want to, because she knew that after Felix woke up next morning, it

would be difficult for her to leave.

When she was at a loss, she unwittingly thought of Carlos. He said that he would pass through T City

on business trip. Could he happen to be in T City at this time?

She took a chance and dialed his number, and it rang for a long time without answering, and she called

it again, unwilling to give up, and a woman's voice came out, “Hello, hello, who is that?”

Alicia thought that she had dialed the wrong number, so she took closer the phone and checked it out.

It was right, it was clearly Carlos' name. How could a woman answer it? And it was midnight now, the

most possible time when one-night stand happened?

“I'm Carlos' wife, who are you?”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Carlos' voice came, “What's the matter?”

“Cheating now?”

“...Why do you speak so directly?”

“Why, really cheating now?”

“It was my friend...”

“Oh, Carlos, so you have other female friends now? I thought I was your only female friend.”

“I haven't finished my words, what’s the hurry?”

“Oh, then you go on.”

“It was my friend’s wife.”

Alicia didn't believe it, “Why would your friend's wife answer your phone?”

“I went to the bathroom. She saw you keep calling in, and thought you might have something urgent, so

she picked it up for me.”

“Where’s your friend? Why didn’t he answer?”

“He also went to the bathroom.”

“Who are you trying to fool? Are you so close with your friend that you have to go to the bathroom

together?”

Carlos snorted, “Am I close with you? So close that I have to explain to you who I am with and who I go

to the bathroom with?”

“It was you who said that as long as the marriage isn’t broken, you must stay loyal! Hurry, tell me your

address.”

“Why?”

“I don't believe what you said, and I will use my right as your wife now, to have a regular check on you.”

She was still struggling to find a reason to visit him, and now she had a justified one.

“Are you really coming?”

“Yes.”

“Well then, the recreation room on the second floor of Ginbay Hotel.”

Carlos said his address quickly, and before hanging up the phone, he still didn't forget to tease her, “If

you are coming, you’d better hurry. If you are late, you might go for wool and come back shorn.”

No matter how hard she thought, Alicia couldn’t understand what he meant. Until she came to the hotel

where Carlos was, and the moment she saw him, she understood the meaning of his words.

The huge hotel was fully equipped with recreational facilities. The entire second floor was for

customers to have fun. There were billiards, KTV, bar, SPA, restaurants, swimming pools, etc.

She didn't know where he was exactly, and was about to call to ask. A waiter respectfully walked over,

“Hello, is it Mrs. Alicia?”

Alicia was stunned and nodded dully, “Yes.”

“Please follow me.”

Following the waiter to the swimming pool, she caught a glimpse of Carlos swimming. She was about

to call him aloud, but someone behind her spoke first, “Hi, Miss. Alicia, we meet again."

She turned around in horror, and when she saw the person who called her, her face suddenly turned

gloomy. They met again willy-nilly. She actually met Carlos' idiot friends again here.

Three men in shorts lay on three deck chairs, each surrounded by a few beauties, all with big boobs

and fat ass. They were massaging hard on the men’s muscular bodies with their fingers, and one could

tell from the men’s faces that they were indescribably enjoying it.

“Come and sit down.”

Otto waved at her, and she sat down reluctantly and laughed mirthlessly, “Why are you here?”

“Business trip.”

“How coincidental that you are all on a business trip here.”

Morgan shook his head, “No, not all of us. Didn't you see one is missing?”

“Three of four come, rounding it up, almost all of you come.”

Oskar chuckled, “Miss Alicia's calculation is really straightforward, and I assume that you must be

refreshing.”

“Didn't Carlos say it? Don't be fooled by my innocent appearance, I'm actually very narrow-minded.”

“How is that possible, Miss Alicia surely has a decent style, I heard that your family is also in

business?”

“Yep.”

“Then who is your father?”

“Colton Joliot-Curie.”

Otto was quite surprised, “Isn't it the apple-polisher Colton Joliot-Curie who is in architecture?”

Oskar glared at him, “Mind your words, it's too shameful for Miss Alicia.”

It was already well known that her father liked flattering others. Alicia didn’t feel ashamed, because it

was already a shame to be the daughter of Colton Joliot-Curie.

Therefore, she graciously admitted, “Yes. He’s my father.”

Seeing that she admitted so frankly, Otto was a little embarrassed. He patted his chest and promised,

“Since it is Miss Alicia’s father, we will definitely take care of him as long as we can.”

“Thank you.”

“By the way, why are you in T City?”

Morgan asked curiously.

“I have a classmate who got married and I came here to attend the ceremony.”

“Oh, no wonder that Carlos deliberately came here. It turned out that he wants to pick you up.”

Alicia raised her eyebrows in surprise, “Don’t you all pass by here?”

“Of course not, we can go back to B City directly. It was Carlos who said that he had something to do in

T City, so we accompany him all the way here.”

So that was how it was. Alicia was flattered.

She got up and walked to the swimming pool, waved at Carlos, “Hey, you, come up.”

Carlos glanced at her indifferently and ignored her. She continued to wave her hand, “Hey, come up,

quickly.”
