The president's seventh bride novel Chapter 7

Even though Alicia had no attachment to the Joliot-Curie family where she had lived for more than ten years, she was still not used to living in a totally strange place.

Especially, the place made her feel so weird.

Tossing and turning all night, she got up before dawn and wanted to go out to take a bath. However, fearing that she would wake up Carlos, she had to sit by the bed and wait for daylight.

It was almost dawn. Through the window of modest size in her room, staring at the rising sun, she seemed to have seen the glimmers of hope approaching her gradually, penetrating her body and finally evolving into the infinite power.

With a knock at the door, she heard Carlos' cold voice, "Are you up?"

She quickly replied, "Yes." Then she got up and opened the door.

"Go downstairs with me."

Without looking at her, he gave the order and Alicia followed him downstairs. There were already two elders with ruddy complexions sitting in the living room, who were Master Edward and Mrs. Sara respectively.

The servant of the Noel-Baker family served the tea. Alicia understood that this was a rule in a wealthy family that the newly-married wife had to serve her parents-in-law tea. She went forward gracefully, took a cup of tea and said respectfully to Master Edward, "Dad, please drink the tea."

Master Edward looked up in surprise and asked, "What did you call me?"

"Dad."

"Good, good," he took the tea quickly.

Alicia picked up the other cup and handed it to Mrs. Sara, "Mom, please drink the tea."

Mrs. Sara smiled and held her hand, "You know, the former daughters-in-law only called us Master Edward and Mrs. Sara. You are the first one to call us Dad and Mom."

She looked at her son and said happily, "I didn't expect the monk on the Imperial Mountain to have really answered my prayer. I must go and redeem my vow today."
