Fall For “My Husband’s Uncle” By Janet Macadam

Chapter 172 

Looking at both of them entering the kitchen, Rubby was lost in deep thought. 

It had been the first time that Carlos was so protective of a woman. 

Even back then when Carlos was with Natalie, she did not receive such treatment. 

“Did they experience anything significant together?” Rubby Lawson asked Susan curiously. 

Susan thought carefully and said, “Although there had been a little quarrel between them, it was not a big deal. They were a sweet couple and often did couple activities like watching TV, eating snacks, and going out together.” 

Hearing this, Rubby felt even stranger. 

She thought, “if Edith had done something that made Carlos feel touched, this is still reasonable. 

Why was their relationship so good even when nothing special had happened between them?” 

Little did Rubby know that simple happiness might be the most precious thing 

It was precisely because Carlos had experienced too much, that he was attracted to Edith and wanted to be with her forever. 

There were only Edith and Carlos in the kitchen. 

Carlos was still a little worried and asked, “Did my mother make things difficult for you? Did she tell you… anything else?” 

He was a little nervous, and worried about what Rubby had divulged to Edith, 

“No, she just said that if you dare to bully me again in the future, she will stand up for me. She also said that-” Edith deliberately paused and blinked playfully. Her eyelashes fluttered like butterflies. 

Her rising tone rendered Carlos nervous. 

He held his breath. 

Carlos asked, “What else did she say?” 

“She also said that you did not like sweets at all. When you were a child, she bought you marshmallows, but you said that it was for girls. You were forced to take a bite and cried, saying that you were going to become a girl! Haha, uncle, you had such a childish side. You were so cute when you were 

a child!” Edith said. 

Thinking of the interesting stories that Rubby had told her, Edith could not help laughing. 

Hearing this, Carlos was both angry and amused. He was really scared at first, but it turned out that Rubby just told Edith this. 

“Stop laughing!” He put on a straight face and felt very embarrassed. 

When Edith saw Carlos‘ awkward expression, she laughed even harder. 

Carlos could not stand it anymore and spanked her. 

Edith only stopped laughing when she felt the pain. 

She looked at him pitifully and said, “Asshole, I even prepared your favorite bolognese spaghetti!” 

Carlos said, “If you dare to laugh at your future husband again, I’ll do something a real asshole would do.” 

“My future husband,” Edith thought. 

Even though Carlos added the word “future“, it still made Edith blush. 

“Bullshit, I won’t marry you even in the future!” Edith said. 

“It is just a matter of time. Since my mother has approved of you, do you think it will be long before you become my wife?” Carlos smirked and raised his eyebrows. 

Edith was embarrassed and did not know how to reply. She had no choice but to take the spaghetti and leave the kitchen. 

Carlos noticed that Edith’s ears were red and he felt really good. 

This time, Susan and Ned dared not to join Carlos and Edith for the meal since Rubby was present. 

Edith could not help but feel confused. 

She thought, “Isn’t Ned working for Simon? How is he working for Rubby now? 

Or are the Lawsons sharing the same servants?” 

Although Edith was confused, she did not dare to ask. She could only swallow these questions along with the spaghetti. 

Rubby did not stay on for long after she finished her meal.

She needed a good rest as she had just returned to the country and was feeling tired after such a long flight. 

Before leaving, she called Carlos to her car window. 

Carlos bent down and listened carefully. 

“I have helped you cover up this lie today. I will give you a month to settle it. She is your wife, not Simon’s. Do not let this turn into a joke. You must solve this problem no matter what” 

Carlos gritted his teeth slightly. 

This matter was just like a ticking time bomb. It would be better to solve it as soon as possible. 

Even if Rubby did not force him, Carlos had planned to deal with it as soon as possible. 

There were too many variables, and Simon was coming back. Who knew what would happen if both of them met? 

“I know. I just did not want to disappoint her,” Carlos said. 

Rubby replied, “Then you better not let me down either.” 

After saying that, Rubby rolled up the window and the car drove off. 

Edith did not know what Rubby and Carlos were whispering about. She just felt that Rubby seemed to be a strong woman with an aura that could easily overpower her. 

Like mother, like son. 

“You are just like your mother! Your personalities and way of doing things seem to be quite similar.” 

“She is just looking for a replica of herself to replace her,” Carlos said unemotionally. 

Edith wondered, “A replica. 

No one would use this word to describe himself.” 

Edith said, “Uncle, you are not a replica, you are unique!” 

Carlos was touched by the words. 

Only Edith would say that to him. 

He could not help patting her head. “Are you ready to start your new job this afternoon?” 

“Yes,” Edith replied. 

“Keep a distance from my mother in the future. She is not as easy–going as I am,” Carlos warned. 

“Why? Are you very distant from your mother?” Edith could not help but ask curiously. 

Carlos explained, “No one will feel happy when your mother deprives you of your childhood and forces you to shoulder huge responsibilities alone. Well, you do not have to worry so much. You are going to live with me in the future, not with her.” 

Edith could not help but feel sorry for Carlos. 

Carlos must have been leading a tough and boring life in the past, and that was why he was already an outstanding talent in Caurtine at the age of 27. 

Growing up, he must have encountered many challenges and difficulties, which was why he was so indifferent to his mother. 

Looking at Carlos‘ furrowed eyebrows, Edith really wanted to smooth it out for him. 

That was exactly what she did. 

As Carlos was walking. Edith unexpectedly tugged on his sleeve. 

Carlos was confused and looked back with a slight frown, only to see Edith raise her hand. 

Her soft fingertips landed between his eyebrows and smoothed out his frown. 

He was stunned for a moment and looked at her bright little face. Edith said, “That is better. You look ugly when you frown, just like an old man! I like it when you are not frowning” 

Carlos smiled as he shook his head. 

Edith was getting bolder. 

She continued, “I like it even more when you’re smiling. Actually, you are very handsome. If you smile more, you will attract a lot of girls.” 

Carlos asked, “Would you not be worried if many girls like me?” 

I am not worried at all. If someone likes you, it proves that I am charming enough to be chosen by you among all the other girls. Don’t you think so?” Edith raised her head, feeling very proud of herself. 

Carlos knocked on her head and said, “You sweet talker, pack up and come with me.”

Although his tone was unpleasant, hidden deep in his attractive eyes was a glimmer of a smile.
