The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 43

Alicia was so composed that no one would notice she's lying. Even though she could not convince the two women in front of her, she gained Colton's trust. It was not a father’s trust in a daughter, but because he did not believe it either that her daughter had this ability to play with them.

Therefore, he chose to believe her.

He pulled his wife and daughter into the study, closed the door, and said in a deep voice, "I know you are angry, but I am angrier. But now is neither the time to be angry, nor the time to be angry with her. As long as she is the daughter-in-law of the Noel-Baker family, she will be useful to us one day. Take it easy and just let it go."

Colton said helplessly. That was 10 million disappearing in a second, and how could he not feel distressed? He was the most distressed one! But what was the point to be sad and angry as there was no proof. He had to swallow the pain.

After comforting his wife and daughter, he went out, “Alicia, your sister was also wronged and had no one to bridle at. Don't take it to your heart, she..."

"Never mind. I'm used to it."

Alicia interrupted his father indifferently and looked at the clock on the wall, “It's getting late. If there is nothing else, I have to go now."

"How about have dinner here?"

Colton was just being polite. Alicia knew it for sure and she would not be that inconsiderate. This family had never welcomed her, and today she was even more unwelcome.

When Alicia left the small western-style building, she felt very good, and continued to feel good until the Cloud Mansion.

Today was really an extraordinary day. People who rarely seen in the living room at ordinary times now have shown up. Alicia greeted happily, “Dad, mom, I'm back."

Mr. and Mrs. Noel-Baker turned their heads and were very happy to see their daughter-in-law. Mrs. Noel-Baker asked kindly, "Have you had dinner?"

Alicia squinted at someone who turned a blind eye to her and nodded with a smile, “Well, yes. I had it at my parents' house."

"How are your parents?" asked Mr. Noel-Baker.

"Well, they are fine. They also asked me to say hello to you two."

At this time, Aurora said abruptly, “Alicia, what's the matter with your sister today? She ran out crazily carrying her luggage this afternoon, and I couldn't stop her, as if she had suffered a lot of wrongs in our house. "

Alicia was stunned, and she moved her gaze to someone again. He didn't seem to talk, and he didn't even lift his eyelids.

"Nothing. That's her. She has been spoiled by my parents since she was little. Maybe I said something last night made her unhappy so she went home."

"She is a capricious girl from the first impression, and it really doesn't look like that you two are from the same parents."

Edward smiled sourly when he heard the words, “The pot calls the kettle black. Didn't your mother and I spoil you enough?"

"Oh, aren't we talking about Alicia? Alicia and I are not the same type of person, but my brother is."

How could he be swept up in? Carlos raised his head displeasedly, and asked his sister, “How come I am the same type of person of Alicia?"

"You are both easy to be bad-tempered once spoiled, right, Alicia?"

This sister-in-law was really good at teasing other people. She thought so and wanted her approval. Alicia nodded with a fake smile, then shook her head, without knowing to say yes or no. She simply pointed his hand and said, “I have test papers to review. Please forgive me that I will leave you now."

Alicia fled away from the living room, went to her small secret space. She lay down on the bed with a bang, and her mouth rose slightly into a crescent smile.

It was so good to be alone and breathe freely.

"You seem to be in a good mood."

The abrupt voice coming from above frightened her. She sat up suddenly and said in a panic, “Why don't you come in without knocking?"

Carlos leaned against the door with his hands around his chest, and asked confidently, "Did you close the door?"

Didn't she close the door? ......Ah, nop.

"What can I do for you?"

Alicia changed the subject awkwardly, waiting for his explanation.

"I think you have something to tell me."

She shook her head decisively, “No. I have nothing to say to you. What can I say to you? We have never shared a language."

"Then I'll go straight. You did it, right?"

Although Carlos didn't point out the matter, Alicia felt guilty. She was confused. What kind of perceptive heart did he has under the handsome and cold appearance? Why could she fool her father, but not the man in front of her?

She didn't even deny it as she knew that she couldn't deceive him.

"Yes."

So she gave up and nodded calmly.

"why?"

Most of the conversations between the two were concise. Carlos only wanted to hear key points, so she didn't bother to explain too much.

"I'm not willing to be sold so meaninglessly, so I want to transfer the money to the charity."
