The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 54

Alicia found a quiet place and picked up the phone, “Hello?”

“Where does your classmate live?”

Carlos suddenly asked, and she was even more disturbed, “Why do you ask?”

“I happened to pass through T City on a business trip. If the wedding was over, I can stop by and pick you up.”

Her hanging heart instantly fell, and she politely declined, “It’s okay. I have to stay for two more days. You go back first.”

“Oh, okay.”

He hung up the phone decisively and didn't even say goodbye. Alicia didn't mind it. It was a miracle that he could call her on his own initiative.

Returning to the cafe, her mood suddenly became bright. She caught a glimpse of Dillon having an argument with his son from a short distance away and hurriedly stepped forward and asked, “What's wrong?”

“Alicia, I don't want to go home with my dad, I want to be with you.”

Everything is pricy on Felix, but not his tears. Though he was already in his twenties, he cried a lot.

“Will you go or not? I'll break your leg if you don't.”

Dillon was about to do it as he spoke. Alicia hurriedly stopped him, “Alright, Dillon, don't you still have things to do? Just do your thing. I’ll take Felix home.”

“Is it okay? Will it bother you?”

“It's fine, no worries.”

“Alright then, I'll go first, and call me when you arrive.”

Dillon nodded slightly to Alicia, said goodbye and turned and left.

Mia’s facial expression hasn’t looked good since Dillon appeared. The calmer Alicia seemed, the angrier she was, “You guys colluded to act in front of me and don’t think that I’ll believe it. Listen carefully. One day I will tear your mask off fiercely and make you lose all your reputation and have nowhere to stand on in this world!”

“Then you listen carefully. The person who should go to the hell will definitely not be me.”

After she finished speaking, Alicia took Felix's hand and walked out of the cafe with her chin up.

“Alicia, where are you taking me to?”

“Home.”

“I won't go home unless you come home with me...”

“Yes, I will go home with you.”

She sighed, took out her phone, and unexpectedly saw an unread text, “I have cooperated with you and done everything that should be done. I hope you will fulfill your promise as soon as possible.”

The sender was Dillon.

Her mood just brightened up and now it was getting gloomy.

On the way to the airport, she hesitated for a long time before she spoke to Felix beside her, “Felix, when you get home, tell your father that you don't like me and don't want to marry me as a wife, okay?”

Felix was startled, and answered truthfully, “But I like you, I want you to be my wife.”

“Although you like me, I don’t have to be your wife, besides, you don't understand the meaning of like.”

“I understand, mom told me that if you miss someone, you like someone. And the person I miss most is you, Alicia.”

“That's not like, it's just dependence.”

“I don’t care what it is, I just like you anyway!”

“...”

With his innocence, Alicia really felt helpless.

After three hours of flying, Felix was finally sent home safely at ten o’clock in the evening. His mother was happy to see her son back, so she didn’t bother to criticize Alicia. She cried and laughed, holding her son, until he fell asleep on her shoulders.

Seeing that Felix was asleep, Alicia got up and left. Although Mrs. Lee was a little unhappy, she didn't want to force it. She just told her to solve her issue in B City as soon as possible, and then came back to Felix, and fulfilled her promise of taking care of him for the rest of her life.

After stepping out of Lee's House, Alicia was exhausted. She wandered back and forth between B City and T City for two days. Not to mention the huge physical exertion, she also suffered from inhuman torture psychologically.

She was really tired of living in the chaotic life of telling one lie to make up for another lie every day, but what could she do? At this point, she had no way back...

Where should she go? She walked aimlessly along the empty road. In fact, she could stay at Lee's House for one night, but she didn't want to, because she knew that after Felix woke up next morning, it would be difficult for her to leave.

When she was at a loss, she unwittingly thought of Carlos. He said that he would pass through T City on business trip. Could he happen to be in T City at this time?

She took a chance and dialed his number, and it rang for a long time without answering, and she called it again, unwilling to give up, and a woman's voice came out, “Hello, hello, who is that?”

Alicia thought that she had dialed the wrong number, so she took closer the phone and checked it out. It was right, it was clearly Carlos' name. How could a woman answer it? And it was midnight now, the most possible time when one-night stand happened?

“I'm Carlos' wife, who are you?”

There was silence on the phone for a while, and then Carlos' voice came, “What's the matter?”

“Cheating now?”

“...Why do you speak so directly?”

“Why, really cheating now?”

“It was my friend...”

“Oh, Carlos, so you have other female friends now? I thought I was your only female friend.”

“I haven't finished my words, what’s the hurry?”
