The president's seventh bride

Chapter 38: Crasher

When Alicia went downstairs, she happened to run into her dad. Colton showed a flattering smile at

once, "Alicia, you're back."

"Yeah."

"How's your life going in the Noel-Baker family recently?"

"Not bad."

"How is your work? Everything well?"

"Not bad."

It was really rare. Her dad was so caring about her for the first time. However, his intention had nothing

to do with family love but business interests.

Sure enough, Alicia stood in the living room just one second, and her dad started his real topic. "I hear

that there is a project in open tender of the Noel-Baker family recently. And my company is preparing to

submit a tender. I wonder..."

"I know nothing about Carlos's business. If there is anything unclear, you can ask him directly."

Colton's expression was not good, and he changed the topic awkwardly, "Holly, is the dinner ready?"

"Yeah. Our Miss Alicia comes back, how can I be careless about the dinner?"

Holly glared at her husband.

"Alicia, I have packed up. Let's go."

Mia ran downstairs happily with her suitcase. The couple asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

"Go to my sister's house for a few days."

Alicia was extremely speechless after seeing that big suitcase. Was she planning to stay for a few days

or years...

This couple said, "Oh, it's good. We indeed should visit the Noel-Baker family more so we can develop

better relationship with them. But Alicia thought in her heart, "Hilarious, are you daydreaming?"

"Leave after the dinner."

Holly dragged her daughter into the kitchen. After a while, the mother and daughter came out and

ordered the servant to serve the dishes. Mia couldn't wait for one more minute at the thought of seeing

the person that she loved soon. She finished the dinner in a hurry and asked Alicia to go.

When they arrived at the Cloud Mansion, Alicia warned Mia, "Watch your mouth, or I'll kick your ass."

"I know. Just go."

The two entered the living room side by side. When Mrs. Sara saw Alicia coming back, she was very

happy. But there was another girl, she got up and asked, "Who is she?"

"Mom, this is my sister, Mia Joliot-Curie."

"Hello, Mrs, nice to meet you. I always want to visit you. You are even much nobler and kinder than I

thought..."

Mia interjected with flattery. Mrs. Sara smiled and nodded, "Welcome, just treat this place as your own

home, and feel free to stay here."

Alicia sighed. This was exactly what Mia wanted...

The three women sat in the living room and chatted for a while. Mia looked around and could not help

asking, "Why didn't I see my brother-in-law?"

"He has a business dinner party tonight."

Alicia replied without emotion. In fact, she was very clear that Carlos was Mia's ultimate goal of coming

here.

"Oh, well." Mia yawned deliberately, and Mrs. Sara immediately said, "Alicia, take your sister to rest.

She seems tired."

"Okay, mom."

Mia whispered in her heart when going upstairs, "Mom, mom, Alicia is so disgusting to keep calling

that, and she's really a disgusting person."

"This room is for you."

Alicia opened the guest room and took her luggage in. "This is the bathroom. You can take a bath first.

Go downstairs to have breakfast at 7:30 tomorrow morning. Don't keep everyone waiting."

When Alicia was about to go out, Mia grabbed her arm and said, "Alicia, how about taking me to visit

the master bedroom where you and Carlos live?"

Alicia was dazed, and nodded calmly. "Sure. But..."

"But what?"

"You have to take a bath first. Carlos is a clean freak. You are so sweaty. If he happens to come back,

he will be unhappy."

Mia smelt herself with her eyebrows frowned and said in a upset tone, "Alright."

After Mia took the clothes and went into the bathroom, Alicia entered the next room. She locked the

door, and quickly moved her clothes and other daily necessities back to the master bedroom. She

pulled down the painting to hide the hint of love affair. All was done. Alicia took out her phone and

called Carlos, hoping to inform him in advance, in case that he might suddenly come back and blame

her.

"I'm sorry, the number you dialed can't be connected at the moment, please dial later..."

What! Not connecting? Alicia's heart was worried. And she tried again, but it was the same result. With

her understanding of Carlos, if she didn't make a deal with him first, he would definitely not be

cooperative.

Mia lay in the bathtub with her eyes closed, and thought of her mother's words when she left,

"Remember to observe carefully whether that little slut's situation in her husband's family was good or

not. I always had this suspicion that she might be acting in front of us when she returned home last

time. The rumor of Carlos' abnormality was not new. How could that little slut conquered him as soon

as she married him..."

With great mission and inner love, Mia came here. She secretly vowing in her heart, "One day, I will

become the mistress of this Noel-Baker family.”

Mia got up and wore her clothes. She put on a delicate makeup on a dressing mirror and wore strong Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

perfume enough to choke people to death. At last, she left the room satisfactorily.

Carlos drank some wine tonight, but he was not drunk and still sober. When he went upstairs, he

happened to meet Mia who came out of the room. Mia suddenly saw Carlos, so she threw herself in his

arms excitedly, "Carlos, you're back?"

Carlos froze because of this and didn't react for a while. The he asked in horror, "Why are you in my

house?"

"You're surprised, right? I come with my sister. She insists on inviting me here for a few days..."

This bitch! Mia lied with no shame and even pretended to be a shy girl now.

At this moment, the door suddenly opened. Alicia stood between the two, and her eyes were slightly

uneasy. She pulled Carlos aside and said to her sister, "Wait a moment. I have something important to

talk to your brother-in-law. You can come in after we finish the talk."

"Hey, then I..."

But before she could even finish, the door was closed. Mia stamped her feet in annoyance and turned

back to her room.

Carlos stared at the woman sharply in front of him. When he stepped in his room, he immediately

discovered some things that didn't belong here. This woman was getting bolder and bolder. She even

made a decision without his permission now.

Alicia lowered her head out of guilty and didn't know how to explain this to him. In fact, she didn't have

the best reason to get his understanding to the greatest extent.

"Don't tell me that you want me to help you act and play the role of a good husband in front of your

sister."

"Please."

She was quite straightforward. Carlos touched her chin mockingly and forced her to see his eyes,

"Alicia, why are you so vain?"

"This has nothing to do with vanity."

"Then what is this about? Your face? Do you know that I have to suffer when you are the one that earn

your face?"

"It has nothing to do with it as well."

"Then tell me, what is it?"

"It's about my dignity." However, she could not speak out all the things in her mind. So Alicia could only

said this sentence in her heart.

In this world, she didn't need anyone to understand her. And her greatest desire was to let those who

wanted her to live badly see that she lived a happy life.

Not just happy, but extremely happy.

"Why don't you talk? You have no words to say, or you admit that I am right?"

"Whatever, I don't care how you think about me. But can you help me now?"

Carlos shook his head ruthlessly even facing her begging eyes, "Sorry, I am not the Jesus Christ. Since

you bring her here by yourself, you should solve it yourself."

He began to take off his tie after finishing the words. It seemed that he had no plan to help her at all.

Alicia had no choice but to explain, "I didn't bring her here. She insisted on following me."

"Then you just let her? Are you so confident that I will help you?"

"Then what can I do? If I insist on stopping it, my family will inevitably misunderstand. They think I live

well here after I returned home last time."

"So, it's my fault. I shouldn't act with you last time."

"That's not what I mean..." Alicia paused, "Frankly speaking, I was too confident for our relationship.

You said we were friends that night, I thought you really meant it. Shouldn't friends help each other? If

you needs me, as your unique female friend, no matter what happens, I will be there for you."

Carlos didn't expect her to say such moving words. Sure enough, this woman was very smart.

After a short hesitation, Carlos agreed, "Well, I will make an exception and help you this time."

Before Alicia was happy, Carlos made it clear, "But I can't let you spend the night in my bed."

"I know this. We just need to be a sweet couple in front of my sister. At night, I will still sleep in my own

room."

"I hope so. If you dare to get me into extra trouble, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Alicia kept making promises and then came out of the door. She led Mia in, who was already impatient

to wait.

"Carlos, are you tired after working all day?"

"No."

"Would you like some water? I'll go downstairs and bring for you?"

"No need."

"Are you free this weekend? I want to invite you to the party hosted by my classmate."

"No."

...

No matter what Mia said, the responses of Carlos were cold. However, Mia wasn't beat down by this

and still tried to come close to Carlos by asking different questions. Seeing this, Alicia thought, “This is

not a visit to her sister's room but her sister's husband."
