The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 45

Alicia thought he was joking, so she really lay down. Based on her previous experience, Carlos would definitely avoid her immediately in disgust.

However, it went beyond her expectation this time. Not only did Carlos not avoid her, he also rolled over and pressed her under him.

"Are you serious?"

She stared in amazement and suddenly felt panicked.

"Do you think I’m kidding?"

Carlos stretched his hand to her clothes and began to unbutton the buttons on her chest. One, two… Alicia was completely dumbfounded. She didn’t react until he unbuttoned the third one. She hurriedly reached out to stop him, "No."

"Why?"

He raised his handsome eyebrows. His expression was obviously unhappy.

Alicia hurriedly swallowed her saliva, "It’s that time of the month."

They were all adults. Of course, he knew what she meant. But it was another thing that he believed it or not.

Carlos immediately got away from her, panting and saying, "You’re really troublesome."

Both of them were a little embarrassed. Alicia was even flushed with embarrassment. She got up and ran into the secret room. After closing the door, she lay down on the bed with both hands tightly covering her face.

The next morning, when she went downstairs for breakfast, she was in a very bad spirit. She had always lived a regular life. Suddenly she slept late last night, it was somewhat difficult for her to adapt.

But Carlos didn’t look well, either. He even looked more tired than her.

"Have you two not slept well last night?"

The shrewd Mrs. Sara saw the abnormality of her son and daughter-in-law at a glance.

Alicia didn't know how to answer, so she quietly kicked Carlos. Don't play dumb, okay?

Carlos looked up slightly, and replied calmly, "I almost didn’t sleep last night."

"Huh? Didn't sleep?"

What he said was so astonishing. His parents and sister all looked at them. Mrs. Sara asked Alicia in astonishment, "Alicia, did you not sleep either?"

Alicia was so embarrassed. If she had known such a situation early, she wouldn’t have asked this guy to come out to help her.

"I slept, but I had some nightmares, so I didn't sleep well."

"She dreamed that she was stealing something to eat in the kitchen in the middle of the night and was caught by me."

"You……"

If it was not in front of the whole family, she really wanted to shut his mouth.

"Brother, you’re so funny..."

Aurora looked at the two of them. She tried her best no to laugh out.

Alicia was so regretful, wishing to cut Carlos into pieces. She stretched her hand under the table, and was about to pinch him with all her strength, but was grabbed by his hand first. He held her hand tightly.

This was the first close contact between the two of them. His palms were very hot. She couldn't help but to remember the situation when he unbuttoned her buttons last night. Her heart suddenly skipped a beat. She blushed.

All day long, Alicia was in a particularly good mood. Perhaps because her relationship with Carlos became good.

But this good mood did not last long. In the evening, as soon as she returned home, she felt an unprecedented dignified atmosphere.

Mrs. Sara and Aurora were standing in front of Mr. Edward’s study. The expressions on their faces were very worried, as if something unpleasant was happening in the study.

"Mom, what's the matter?"

She walked over and asked with some doubts.

When Mrs. Sara saw Alicia, she seemed to see the hope, "Alicia, give some ideas quickly. Carlos and his Dad are arguing!"

As soon as Mrs. Sara finished speaking, the three of them were stunned by the sound of something falling to the ground.

Alicia was the most shocked. Although Carlos was usually cold and indifferent and didn't seem very close to his parents, he had never quarreled with his parents like this before. At this moment, the intensity of the quarrel could not be concealed even through a heavy door.

"Mom, let's go in."

She stretched out her hand to push the door, but the door couldn't be opened. Aurora said in a trembling voice, "It's useless. The door was locked by them from inside."

"What can we do?"

The arguing continued to escalate. The sound of falling objects was mixed with fierce quarrels, making Alicia, who had always been the calmest, panicked. She didn’t know what to do.

When she was at a loss, she suddenly heard Dulcie's name, her body suddenly stiffened. She asked Mrs. Sara, "Mom, is it about that woman?"

Mrs. Sara was silent and turned around with a sad expression. She sat on the sofa, and wiped her tears.

Her silence confirmed Alicia’s guess. She turned to ask Aurora, "Aurora, is it because of Dulcie, right?"

Aurora shook her head sadly, "I don't know. Dad and brother had already quarreled when I went home..."

Alicia put her ear close to the door panel and wanted to listen more carefully. But unfortunately, apart from hearing the anger in their tones, the content of the quarrel could not be heard coherently.

However, Aurora's words to herself were heard by Alicia, "In this world, I am afraid that except for Dulcie, there is no other woman who can make my brother out of control..."

It was from this moment that Alicia began to wonder what kind of woman Dulcie was that would make a man like Carlos loved her so much that he would turn his back against his family.

Alicia continued to put her ears on the door panel, but the door suddenly opened at this moment. Then, a poker face came into view. He walked past her furiously, without even looking at her.

Alicia turned around to see the study room. The floor was a in mess. Mr. Edward walked out expressionlessly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Go and follow him. Don't leave him alone."

She nodded, turned around and ran out of the living room. When she was passing by the sofa, she was pulled by Mrs. Sara. Mrs. Sara said with sobs, "No matter what he treats you, don't leave him alone."

"I know, Mom."

Giving Mrs. Sara a firm look, Alicia chased out. At this time, she must not let a man with emotional injury and squander his life unscrupulously.

Carlos was like a soul who had fallen into the hell. With his full of anger and tolerance, he stepped on the accelerator frantically and rushed towards the gate.

At this moment, a figure rushed from the side and reached out to stop his car.

Getting out of the car with a sullen face, he walked in front of her. Gnashing his teeth, he said, "Get out of the way."

"Where are you going to? Take me."

Alicia looked at him without fear in her eyes. Her tone was so firm that could not be rejected.

"Before I have the urge to kill you, immediately disappear from my sight. Otherwise, don't blame me for not thinking about our relationship."

Relationship? Did she have any relationship with him?

"If you don't agree to take me, I won't let you go."

Her persistence made the situation stalemate for a while. Carlos glanced at her coldly, then turned and sat back in the car. He started the engine rushing towards her.

Alicia took a deep breath. She saw a dazzling light rushing towards her. Her mind went blank. She closed her eyes and thought that she had come to another world. When she opened her eyes, what she saw was not devils, so she was sure that she was still alive.

At a critical moment, the man whose emotions had already lost control couldn't bear to let her die.

She looked at the distance between the car and her with lingering fears. Only a few centimeters away. It was either the driver was too skilled or she was lucky.

The book said, “If you live with a person with a bad temper, your luck will become worse.” It seemed that this sentence was not entirely correct.

Carlos appeared in front of her again, but his attitude was even worse than before. He grabbed her arm rudely, threw her aside, and dropped a sentence, "Get away as far as you can."

Alicia almost fell. She was a little angry at his ruthlessness, but when she thought of Mrs. Sara's words, she endured it. She ran in front of the car with her body blocking the car door, and said firmly, "The only opportunity you can get rid of me have already been given up by you, so now you can only accept my existence."

Carlos’ eyes were filled with fury. He reached out his hand to grab her neck, and asked mockingly, "Don’t you have any self-esteem?"

Who said that only volcanoes could erupt? Icebergs erupted, which was more terrifying than volcanoes.

Alicia was almost out of breath, but she refused to lower her head, "Self-esteem is only valuable to people like you. To me, it is worthless."

Hearing what she said, he suddenly let go of his hand. He moved the corners of his lips and a frightening smile appeared on his face.

"This is what you said."

Before she had time to analyze the meaning of his words, she was already stuffed into the car. The car drove into the vast night...

Accelerate, overtake, and merge. Alicia was covering her heart in shock. What was the chance of survival at this speed?

"Can you slow down?"

He turned a deaf ear.

"Where are you taking me?"

He was silent.

"Why are you arguing?"

"Shut up."

He finally lost his temper.
