The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 38

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..."
