The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 40

Late at night, Carlos lost sleep. As soon as he closed his eyes, Alicia's cunning smile would emerge in his mind. He sat up with upset and turned on the bedside lamp. But he inadvertently saw Alicia's photo on the bedside table. He suddenly stretched out his hand and pressed it down.

He had met annoying women before but not like Alicia distracting his heart.

In the morning, Mia was still asleep when she was woken up by a heavy knock on the door. She rubbed her messy hair and opened the door with cursing. Alicia was standing outside the door and pointed to the watch on her wrist, "I have told you to go downstairs to have breakfast at 7:30 on time last night. Don't you remember?"

Mia became angry at the sight of Alicia. She said coldly, "I'm not having breakfast." Then she was about to close the door.

"So you really want to tell this family that you always get up late in the morning?"

Sure enough, this trick worked very well. Mia frowned, "Fine, I will have it. You are so bothersome."

Mia slapped the door with a bang. But Alicia didn't care her awful attitude. She went downstairs and saw Aurora talking to Sara from a distance happily. When Alicia came near, they immediately kept silent.

"Sister Alicia, you are so diligent. Why is your sister so lazy? Why does she keep so many people waiting for her?"

"Aurora, don't be rude."

Edward glared at his daughter and turned to ask Alicia, "What about that guy? Why didn't he come down?"

Of course, the guy in Edward's words was his son Carlos. Alicia replied respectfully, "Dad, Carlos said that he had an early meeting at the company and had gone out early."

In fact, this was the reason that she made up for Carlos. When she got up in the morning, she found that he was not in the room, and the car originally parked outside was gone. He definitely left, but the reason was not clear.

Alicia guessed that it was possibly because she did something awful to him last night, so he went out early to avoid her.

Every Wednesday, Alicia had four classes, and this Wednesday was definitely the hardest day in her teaching career. Her arms were sore and painful because of Carlos's "punishments". It was hard to raise arms for her. Fortunately, she turned the back to the students, so they couldn't notice her painful expression. But the words written on the blackboard were totally not like her usual handwriting.

The more painful the arms were, the more hateful Alicia was. Throughout the day, she cursed Carlos countless times in her heart.

When she got home from work in the afternoon, she met that guy directly. She was going in and Carlos was going out.

"Where are you going?"

Alicia was surprised to ask the two walking together, as she never thought that Carlos would walk side by side with Mia.

"I want to meet a friend and ask Carlos to give me a ride."

"Oh, be careful on the road."

Alicia nodded calmly. Why did this guy become so nice suddenly?

"Then we're leaving, bye."

Mia was pleased. She also turned back and deliberately winked at Alicia, and the provocation was beyond words.

"Wait."

Alicia suddenly stopped them, smiled and walked over. She kissed Carlos on the cheek unexpectedly, "Honey, come back early. I have a surprise for you..."

Mia's look went mad. Alicia got she wanted.

"Mia wants to defeat me? Naive."

When it was time for dinner, the two had not returned yet, and Aurora couldn't help complaining, "Alicia, why does my brother show partiality to your sister? He treated your sister better than me. Last time I asked him to give me a ride, and I begged him for a long while, but he still didn't agree."

"He went out on business and they were at the same direction, so he gave her a ride."

Alicia explained for Carlos. Her facial expression was very calm, but she was quite uncomfortable inside.

During the dinner, Carlos came back alone without Mia. When Sara saw her son, she asked, "Do you have dinner?"

"Yeah."

Carlos replied shortly and then went upstairs after a glancing at the table.

After a while, Alicia's phone vibrated in her pocket, as there was a message prompt. She took it out and saw the message, "Have you finished the dinner? Come over if you have."

The sender was Carlos. This was the first time for Alicia to receive his text message. Alicia didn't expect a guy who was so critical to have such a patience to text her, which was really shocking.

"Mom and dad, I have finished. Enjoy yourself and I go upstairs first."

Alicia was always so polite. Only she paid attention to these manners in this family, so she won the love of her parents-in-law.

Upstairs, the door was open. Alicia walked in and asked the man standing at the window, "What's up?"

Carlos turned around and reached out hands jokingly, "What's the surprise?"
