The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 61

In the evening when Carlos got home, he pretended to be casual and asked Alicia, "Where did you go today?"

"I went to visit a distant relative. You’ve called me, right?"

Carlos was a bit surprised, he didn't expect Alicia to tell him everything frankly, "Yes, and he said I have the wrong number."

"At that time I went to the bathroom, and he was borrowing money from me, but I refused to lend it to him, so he got a little angry and picked up the phone for me and said you have the wrong number."

"Oh, that makes sense."

Carlos gave a sigh of relief and smiled at her gently, "I am really worried that you would lie to me before I asks you. You know that I hate those people who lie to me the most."

"Of course I would not lie to you."

He patted her shoulder and said in a serious tone, "I don't treat you as an outsider anymore, so just remember, don't lie to me about anything, or I'll be very disappointed."

"Absolutely not."

A day passed by peacefully and quickly, but Alicia did not feel relieve, and was more concerned than ever. She kept thinking that Dillon's existence would greatly threaten her relationship with Carlos.

That night, Alicia stood in front of the window for a whole night, falling into deep thought and finally making a big decision before the dawn.

She did not want to live in the darkness, she wanted to save herself, and together to save Carlos as well.

After breakfast, she went to her mother's grave and put a bunch of lilies in front of the monument. Lilies were her mother's favorite flower, and it was a cartload of lilies that had made Colton capture her mother's heart, which led to her miserable life later.

"Mom, today I am here to ask forgiveness from you, please forgive me, because of a man, for the first time, I want to give up to avenge your death... "

Alicia knelt down, with her fingers gently touching her mother's photo, "You must be so disappointed in me, how can I be so selfish, for my own sake, I even forget the pain you’ve suffered. I'm sorry mom, really sorry, I really don’t want to use that man to achieve my purpose. Perhaps from the beginning, he was my nemesis, and I've kept reminding myself that I must win his trust, and then use his trust to destroy Colton. But so far, I have given up, because I don’t expect that the man, like me, has experienced a serious trauma in his heart, maybe because we are the same kind of person, I can not bear to hurt him. I can understand more than anyone the taste of a knife stabbing into your heart... "

Alicia's tears couldn't stop rolling down. Avenging her mother’s death was her wish since she was a child. She planned for years to achieve this wish, but now suddenly she would want to give it up, not to mention her mother, even she couldn’t forgive herself for this.

She never understood why her mother admired her father so much before, but on that day, when Carlos told her, "Because I am not a normal person, that's why I hope you can live a normal life." It was this sentence that made her understand her mother.

Love always happened quietly with no reason. Love was inevitable, even if you knew you would be hurt badly, you would still like a flying moth darting into the fire, loving the man you loved.

After kowtowing three times, she got up and left. Her figure which looked so determined, signaled that she, for the first time in twenty-four years, wanted to be brave and live a different life, taking a different path and being a different person.

She went to a cake store to order a cake for Carlos. Although she was in a low mood since last night, but she did not forget that today was Carlos's birthday.

After ordering the cake, she went to the nearby shopping mall and prepared to buy a gift for him.

On the way home, she had made the mind to confess everything to Carlos tonight, her initial purpose, and the different feelings she now had for him.

When Alicia arrived home, there was no one at home. She asked the housekeeper, "Paul, where are father and mother?"

The housekeeper replied, "Mr. and Mrs. Noel-Baker went to attend the funeral of the chairman of Lifan Group, and will probably go back in the afternoon."

"Okay."

She nodded, and turned around and went upstairs, and when she got to her room, she took out her phone and sent a text message, "When will you be back this afternoon?"

Carlos replied with a short message, "Something wrong?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"It is a secret for now."

He sent a speechless emoji, accompanied by two words, "Back soon."

The next moment, Alicia was very uneasy, she did not know if Carlos could forgive her for the purpose of marrying him in the first place, and more importantly, she was not sure if he had her in his heart.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, she went to the cake store. The cake had been done, an English letter LOVE was carved with jam on the top of the cake that was full of snow-white cream. If Carlos would pay more attention to it, he would absolutely understand her feelings to him.

The cake had been prepared, and so did the gift. She returned to the Cloud Mansion with mixed feelings, her parents-in-law still had not come home, so did her sister-in-law and Carlos.

She waited in the living room for a while, feeling a bit bored, so she went into the kitchen and wanted to prepare a dinner for everyone. Since she had married into the Noel-Baker family, she had never cooked a meal, not because she was lazy or she didn’t know how to cook, but because her mother-in-law didn’t allow her to cook for them.

Her mother-in-law once said, "The daughter-in-law of the Noel-Baker family, as well as her daughter, are all girls that are loved by them, so she has always been on equal footing with her sister-in-law in this family."

"Mrs. Alicia, you'd better go out, we will prepare the dinner."
