Love Together, Be With You Never novel Chapter 72

"I remember that I once visited the Cornell's. I had thought Rachael was the daughter of a servant. But even she was, they should not be so fierce!"

"You saw it. What happened then?" The man who had spoken attracted all the attention.

He glanced at Shania and Alicia, stating, "I was in the living room. Although I didn't see it clearly, I could tell that Alicia was forcing Racheal into cooking. Racheal was only seven or eight years old!"

"Heavens, they actually let a child cook? It's inhuman!"

"More than cooking. If she was slow, Shania would abuse her! I still remember the bruise on her hands!" The middle-aged man's words arose the public anger. All of them glared at Shania and Alicia.

"I think Shania is a nasty piece of work. She actually doesn't restrain herself in public. It's enough to show how bad she was in private!"

"That's right. Dragon beget dragon. Alicia couldn't be nice, either. She looks delicate, but who knows what she is like in private? Otherwise, is there a need for such a big reaction? It's just a glass of juice. Does she mean to scold Racheal?"

Every word of the guests came to Marvin's ears. Marvin took a secret glance at Kieran, only to see his face cold. Marvin slapped the table hard, "What do you mean? Racheal just knocked down a glass of juice. Don't make a fuss about it. You made a fool of yourself!" Marvin shouted abuse at Shania.

"Darling, I...."

"Shut up! If you continue, just scram. Don't ask for trouble!" Marvin spat.

Shania went silent. But her glare was getting fiercer. I mentally wore a sneer and appeared to be more terrified. "Shania, I, I will never do that again. Please, don't get mad at me!"

"Racheal, it's OK. It's just a glass of juice. It doesn't matter!" Marvin comforted me and then turned to Alicia, "Alicia, don't be melodramatic. Racheal has always ignored your nastiness. Now it's your turn. Go change your clothes!"

After such a long while, Alicia had recovered from the shock. She shot me a cold glance and smiled at Marvin, "Dad, you really know how to joke. Of course, I know that Racheal didn't do it on purpose. Even if she did, I won't get angry. After all, we are sisters!"

"Alicia, I'm sorry. You are so nice!" I appeared to be touched.

"Racheal, don't be silly. We are sisters!" Then, she turned to Marlon, "Marlon, I hope you are not angry. Racheal didn't mean it. I'll go change clothes and be right back!"

Marlon's face was softened a little. But his gaze at me was still cold. I ignored him and took Alicia's hand, "Alicia, I'll accompany you!"

"No, Racheal. You should stay with Mr. Charles. Otherwise, he should be upset!" Alicia pulled her hand back with a smile.

"No, Alicia. You are pregnant. You should watch yourself!" I raised my voice. Sure enough, the looks of the guests present had changed. They had thought Alicia to be a kind and cute girl. Their attitude would definitely change now they knew that she conceived a baby before getting married.

"I told you, Alicia is a nasty piece of work. She is actually pregnant before marriage!"

"You're right. Alicia is not what she looks like at all!"

The guests all knew who the father of the child was, but due to Marlon's presence, they kept their voices low. Though it couldn't be heard, even fools could tell what they were talking about by their looks.

Shania's face darkened. She wished she could pounce on me and tear me apart.

Marvin was embarrassed as well.

As for Alicia, her face went ugly green. She tried to shake off my hand while sustaining a smile.

A crisp sound!

With her force, I slapped Alicia's face hard. The crisp slaps sounded throughout the entire hall. In an instant, everyone turned to us.

"Alicia, are you, are you alright?" I panicked, trying to comfort her.

After the slap, Alicia had totally regained her senses. She glared at me as if she was about to devour me. But in the next second, her tears welled up. She looked so wronged that she leaned on Marlon and just kept sobbing.

"Alicia, I really didn't mean it. It was you who suddenly exert to shake me off. I didn't expect to hit you! Will you forgive me if I give myself a slap?

As I spoke, I raised my hand, but before I could make it, Kieran brought me into his arms. "You are not allowed to slap yourself. Don't forget, you are mine. If you must, you have be have my consent before you do it!"

"But...." I appeared to be awkward, but the corners of my mouth were already raised high. Raking his handsome face, I had to admit, this demonic man was a good actor. And I really liked this show!

I loved it!

"Mr. Charles is so good-looking!"

"Racheal is lucky. I'm jealous!"

"If I could marry Mr. Charles, no, I could die right now if Mr. Charles could do that to me!" Almost all the female guests' eyes lit up as they couldn't take their gazes off Kieran.

"Rachael, it's fine. It's an accident. Alicia will forgive you," Marvin glanced at Kieran and hurried to explain, "Will you, Alicia?"

Alicia paused and then forced a smile, "Daddy is right. I'm fine. Racheal, don't blame yourself. I'll go change and be right back!" With that, she took her leave from Marlon's side and was about to go upstairs.

Fixing my eyes on Alicia's luxurious shoes which were stained with mud, I grinned, "Alicia, did you just climb the mountain? Your shoes are muddy. I think you'd better change them as well!" I reminded her in a loud voice. As I expected, my words instantly diverted everyone's attention to her high heels.
