The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 31

Alicia shrugged. "Your brother is on a business trip."

Aurora felt so happy, "Are you feeling bad because my brother is on a business trip? It turns out that your relationship has been so good! You feel bad without his accompany."

"Aurora, you really don't know, or you are just pretending?"

"Huh? Know what?"

"Your brother is a gay."

"My brother is a gay? Are you kidding me?"

She sighed, "Trust me, it is true. That man told me about this, and your brother also did not deny it."

Carlos was a tough guy. If it was not true, he would not let others gossip about his sexual orientation.

"Who is that man?"

"Alex Henderson."

"Alex?" Aurora burst out laughing and could not stop. "Sister Alicia, you have been tricked. Alex definitely is not gay. He is my brother's best assistant and friend. If they were lovers, then I would go mad."

Alicia finally relieved after getting this answer. In fact, it was not that she was easy to cheat, but she was too sensitive about this topic that Carlos hated women...

"Hey, why would you go mad? You have crush on Alex?"

Aurora had always been honest, "Well, you got me."

Alicia absolutely liked her character; Aurora was always straight and not lying. "What about him? Does he like you too?"

"I don't know. He never showed love to me. Alex was an orphan without powerful background. I didn't dare to tell him about my love. I was afraid that he would be under too much pressure."

This was the story. Alicia comforted her sister-in-law, "It is okay. As long as you don't give up, family status is not a problem to hinder true love."

——

Alicia really felt good when Carlos was on a business trip. When she came home from work, she sat in the living room and chatted with her parents-in-law freely. After having dinner in the evening, she went upstairs early. She thought of the fight with him last night, and there was an idea suddenly appearing in her heart. Why not enjoy his room while he was on a business trip these days?

The weather was getting hotter. Although there was air conditioning in the room where she lived, she always felt stuffy because the windows were usually sealed off. What's more, she had to go to the next room to take a bath every night.

"Right, I'm doing this." She took her pajamas and went into Carlos's bathroom, which was really luxurious. You could not see any flaws and dirt even with a magnifying glass of five hundred times in this spacious and white bathtub. Carlos was indeed a clean freak. It was horribly clean from the ground to the washstand.

This was a jacuzzi. She drew a hot bath, and lay there in the bubbles. She felt at ease in an instant. What's even more amazing was that there was automatic music in the bathroom. When you lay in the water and closed eyes, you could hear the wonderful music. She could not help sighing with feeling; this guy was really good at enjoying...

After the shower, standing by his bed and thinking about his excessive behavior of changing the bed last time, she lay on his bed with a feeling of revenge. She rolled several times before she got up satisfactorily to review tomorrow's teaching. At ten o'clock sharp, she closed her book and sat on his bed. After some struggle, she picked up her phone and called him.

The phone rang for a long time before it was connected. As always, the cold voice came, "What's up?"

Alicia took a deep breath and asked, "Have you arrived at the destination?"

"Nonsense, this time is enough to go to Mars."

She curled her lips and thought, if he knew that she was lying in his bed and talking to him on the phone, and just took a bath in his bathtub, then he definitely would go crazy...

"Oh, when will you come back?"

"None of your business."

"You think I care? It is mom who tells me to ask you. Don't know why you left without telling anybody!"

Carlos's attitude was slightly better after hearing mom's name, "Next Wednesday."

Great, there were still five days.

"Well, I see, bye."

She hung up the phone, turned off the lights and prepared to sleep. When she just closed her eyes, the phone rang. Alicia saw that the call was from Carlos, she hesitated one second but stilled answered immediately, "Is there anything else?"

"Don't hang up before me in the future."

"Fine."

"Don’t call me if you have nothing urgent."

"Fine."

"What else can you say except this answer?"

"Goodbye."

"..."

Two days before Carlos came back, Alicia just finished a class at school. She took the textbooks through the long corridor and went to the office, but ran into the Ellie on the half way.

"Alicia, hurry up, your aunt is here."

Her heart lost a beat and frowned, "Where is she?"

"Outside the school gate, the doorman called your office phone and I answered it."

Alicia felt frustrated and sighed, and she knew that something bad definitely had happened. Her uncle's family was always like this, coming to her only when they were in trouble.

Handing the textbooks to Ellie, she went straight out of the school gate. Her aunt was standing in the shade of trees, fanning herself with a newspaper impatiently.

As soon as she saw Alicia, Lola Roberts threw away the newspaper and ran towards her. "Alicia, your uncle got in trouble. You have to figure out a way to help him, please..."

"What happened again?"

Alicia was not surprised at all. Her uncle Ramon Calhoun was her only relative except her own father. But he was a jerk like her father, mercenary and hypocritical.
