"No idea!" Carlos replied impatiently, slumped into the sofa and ordered the servant, "Water."
"No idea? You went with her, and you just said you had no idea? "
Mrs. Sara questioned him angrily. He really kept her anxious.
Carlos was gulping water, obviously disinclined to respond. Mrs. Sara was so worried that she hurried to call her in-laws, and then she became livid.
"Your mother-in-law said that you came back together. Where have you driven Alicia?"
"She'd better got lost."
"What are you talking about? How could a husband say something like that?"
"That woman got off halfway herself, and I couldn't help it."
"And then you came back alone?"
"Or what? Begging her to come back? "
Carlos fully exposed his disdain for women. Women were only ornaments for him and it didn't matter whether he had or not.
"But you can't just leave her alone on the roadside. All women enjoy sweet talk. Can't you just say something nice? Go and find her!"
"Am I that kind of person? Or, have you seen me sweet-talk with somebody?"
Carlos snorted and rose, intending to go back to his room.
Mothers know best their sons. Mrs. Sara softened her tone, fearing her son should be infuriated, "Well, since you refuse, call her and ask where she is now so that I can send someone to pick her up."
"Divorcing again? So soon!” Aurora gasped and yammered, "Carlos, you're killing us. I can't live if you act like this, let alone our mom." "Mom, just take me with you..."
Master Edward also came back then and yelled at his son after hearing it out, "You dare to divorce Alicia and I die in front of you first!"
"Why, you all crazy?" Carlos muttered, feeling incredible. He didn't expect a woman who joined his family for only seven days could be defended to this extent, and could only go upstairs sullenly, no longer sticking to his principles for the first time.
It was getting dark, yet Alicia wasn't back. Mrs. Sara sent out three drivers and all failed to find Alicia. This made the family extremely anxious.
Carlos finally went downstairs with the car key in hand and walked straight outward stony-faced and wordless.
"Where?"
"Go find that stupid woman, lest you die..."
