SWNOVELS Chapter 142
Chapter 142
At the mention of it, she felt so wronged that tears kept streaming down her face.
Carlos was both angry and amused.
“How come my wife is that naive? I’ve promised her my true love for her many times, but she would rather believe Meggie’s nonsense,” he thought.
He had never thought that Edith resembled Natalie.
They were completely different.
He had never mistaken any of them for the other, and they couldn’t replace each other.
Meggie was irreplaceable.
So was Edith.
Carlos turned to Edith with a sigh, his eyes full of helplessness as if annoyed by her distrust of him.
Edith frowned upon meeting his gaze. “Why are you staring at me like that? Did I say anything wrong? Never think you can do whatever you want just because you’re Simon’s uncle and the head of the Lawson family…”
Carlos interrupted before she could finish her sentence.
“If I could do whatever I want, you would have got laid much earlier. See?”
Edith instantly blushed upon hearing such erotic words, her widened eyes filled with surprise.
“His words do make sense. What should I do then?” Edith thought.
“You are indeed very stupid. I’ve told you about my feelings for you so many times. Yet, you would rather believe a stranger whom you met only twice. Am I that unreliable to you?”
“I… I didn’t…”
She hurried to deny it, but Carlos did not allow her to continue.
He cut in aggressively, giving her no chance to argue for herself.
“I used to date Natalie but we’ve broken up already. It’s we who are in a relationship now and it will continue into the future. I’ve never regarded you as a substitute for her. You’re irreplaceable. Do you think you’re so ordinary that anyone can replace you in my heart?”
“… I’m not that ordinary. I’m Edith White and substitute for nobody. But… even Susan feels that my personality is somewhat similar to that of Natalie. How will you explain that?”
“Damned!”
Carlos swore. His rudeness didn’t harm his handsomeness at all.
He frowned. Though heavily annoyed by Edith’s foolishness, he still said patiently,
“Since you care so much about those bullshits, why didn’t you agree when Susan advised you to date me?”
“That’s a different matter, okay? Why did you leave me alone in the cafe and go to meet her if I’m not a substitute for her to you?”
“She didn’t feel well and had to go to the hospital. I couldn’t stand by. My phone ran out of battery that day, and I thought you might have left already. Even so, I couldn’t help worrying about you because you, as silly as always, might keep waiting for me there!”
“You fooled me because I was stupid, didn’t you? Then why didn’t you tell me about you and Natalie before?” she asked fiercely.
Carlos suddenly fell silent.
All of a sudden, the room became extremely quiet. Only their heavy breathing could be heard.
Carlos tried hard to hold back his fury. His aura was quite terrifying.
With his fists clenched, he was seemingly trying to suppress something bursting inside.
Edith suddenly felt a little nervous and scared. “Did I say anything wrong?
Chapter 142
Shouldn’t I ask him about that?
Since you two have broken up already, why didn’t you tell me about Natalie then?
Now that I’ve learned about what happened, why did you remain silent instead?” Edith thought..
Carlos took a deep breath and suppressed the rage in his heart. He was angry at himself rather than her.
He loosened his fists, his voice slightly cold, “You’re different from Natalie. I won’t let you go since I’ve chosen you. Don’t care about what others say because you’ll be mine sooner or later. Their words will only make you sad but not change anything.”
“Why? I’m not yours at all!”
Edith was a little displeased by his resolute tone. It seemed that she would never be able to escape from him for good.
Carlos‘ slightly commanding tone made her very uncomfortable.
It was as if… he always talked to her in that condescending way.
He was always the one who gave orders.
As mighty as always, he probably would never know how awful it felt to be bossed around.
“Because I’m Carlos Lawson. Isn’t it a good reason?”
Carlos responded resolutely, his attitude tough, his attractive eyes narrowing dangerously.
Edith opened her mouth, wanting to argue but failing to find suitable words after thinking for a long time.
“He’s right…
Carlos Lawson!
The head of the Lawson family, a tycoon second to none in Caurtine.
No one dared to provoke him, but I actually quarreled with him fearlessly!” Edith thought.
She suddenly felt very tired. Everything was settled like this in the end.
Edith loosened her fists and her shoulders drooped. “Forget it. I have no way to go against your wish. You’re Carlos Lawson… I’m a nobody.”
Hearing her dejected tone, Carlos could not help but frown. Her self–esteem was obviously badly hurt.
He wanted to make a remedy but didn’t know what to do.
He frowned and narrowed his eyes dangerously. In the end, he simply opened the door and dragged Robert, who was eavesdropping outside the door, inside.
The door was shut again.
Aaron and Brian stared at each other with embarrassment.
“Has Robert been dragged inside? Will he be in danger?”
“I don’t know. Why did Carlos drag him in?”
In the room, Robert was confused and panicked.
He turned to Edith with shock, his voice trembling, “Carlos, what… what do you want?”
“Tell her.” Carlos was at his wit’s end and had to resort to Robert.
Robert breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Edith.
“Actually… you misunderstood Carlos… He…”
Robert stammered.
Carlos raised his eyebrows and glared at him.
“Don’t you know how to speak?”
Robert swallowed before taking a deep breath
“Sorry, I haven’t recovered from the shock yet. Well, Edith, Carlos didn’t make himself clear about that. To put it bluntly, he has fallen In love with you and it has nothing to do with anyone else. No matter how you look like Natalie, it doesn’t matter to him at all. In Carlos‘ eyes, you’re unique and irreplaceable. Only you can make him sulk and speechless out of great rage…”
