The president's seventh bride

Carlos laughed and looked at her, "Do you think it is possible?"

"I don't think so."

"Then why do you ask?"

Alicia dropped her eyelids. "I can't think of any other reason. I've been so used to being bullied by you. You definitely have your reason to be nice to me suddenly.

"I told you last time I'd be nice to you. I don't seem to have bullied you all this time, do I?"

"You almost killed me in the pool last night."

Carlos smiled, "It was a joke. If I really want to kill you, you would have died."

Alicia believed this with all his might.

"By the way, why do you have claustrophobia?"

Alicia's eyelashes fluttered. "Are you curious about me too? It doesn't seem like something you would do."

"Does that help you get over your fear of taking the elevator like something I would do?" Asked Carlos.

She shook her head. "Neither."

"It means you don't know me. There are only things I want to do."

"I really don't know you, just as I don't understand why you are sometimes kind to me and sometimes mean to me."

Alicia shrugged, took a tart to her mouth.

"Mmm, it smells good. I never eat it before."

"Why?"

"I don't worship foreign things."

Carlos raised his lip corner, "You did not answer my question."

"What is it?"

Alicia played the fool.

"Why do you have claustrophobia?"

"Born."

"How can that be? No one is born with this strange disease."

"What reason do you think it is? Not everyone has the same reason as you, you were hurt by love, but I have not been in love."

Speaking of the pain of Carlos, he no longer spoke. The narrow space was silent.

When they were at the toll station, Carlos threw the wallet to her, "take money out."

Alicia took out two hundred yuan and closed the wallet. At this time she caught a glimpse of Carlos's ID card, "When did you take this photo, why so handsome?" "You mean I'm very old now?"

"That's not true. You are mature now. The photos look just like those high school students."

She looked at it carefully for a while, and then asked, "Your birthday is coming soon."

It was a common sentence, but Carlos's face turned blue, "Have you read enough, put it away."

Alicia closed the purse with his lip and asked, "What do you want for your birthday? I'll buy it for you."

"No, I don't celebrate my birthday."

What was wrong this this man? She didn't say anything wrong.

In the evening, they finally arrived at the B city. One by one, they entered the house, but the treatment was completely different. Her mother-in-law took her hand and asked her questions, but turned her back on her son. Alicia wondered that Carlos did not celebrate birthday was because of his mother. Was he not the real son of her mother-in-law? She thought he must be born from another woman.

After supper Alicia and her in-laws were chatting in the living room. While they were chatting, Aurora came home. As soon as she entered the house, she shouted with her hands akimbo, "Where is my brother?" Startled by her manner, Alicia pointed stiffly upstairs. "He should be working in the study. Why?"

"I'll tell you later!"

Aurora ran upstairs in anger.

"I'll go up and see what's going on."

Alicia was worried and wanted to follow, but her mother-in-laws were not surprised. She waved their hands and said, "It is ok, what can happen to them?"

"Go on. Where were you?"

Aurora rushed upstairs, kicked open the study door, crying, "Brother, how can you do this to me?!"

Carlos was also frightened, got up and said, "What did I do to you?"

"You did not take Alex to your business trip, but asked him to go to blind date."

"Who told you that?"

"Leave that alone. Did you?"

Carlos sighed, "Yes. But..."

"How could you! Don't you know I like him? And you let him go on a blind date?!"

She sat on the ground, crying.

"I have a reason. It was a way of competing in business. It was a ruse."

Aurora could not accept it, "You went too far? Since 18 years old he worked for you. And he has always fulfilled his duty. Now you let him sacrifice his body, how dare you?" Carlos explained patiently, "I just take the help of blind date to sign the contract."

"You force him because he is handsome."

"Yes, he is handsome than me, otherwise I will personally go."

"You bully him for he has no father and mother. I tell you, henceforth he will rely on me. If you bully him, I will not let you go!"

Aurora got up and ran out of the

room, and ran into Alicia who was just about to enter the study. Alicia put her hand on her shoulder and asked, "What's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"

At the sight of amiable and respectable sister-in-law, Aurora said wiping her tears, "Sister-in-law, why would you marry my brother? Get divorced now, this man is mean." After Aurora run away, she asked Carlos, "What happened to her?"

"She heard Alex had a blind date, so she came to question me."

"You ordered him?"

"It was not a real blind date but a means of business. You won't understand."

"So don't you coax her?"

"It's all right. It won't take a night for her to forget everything."

Alicia smiled faintly. "That's a good character. She never has any worries."

"Do you envy her?"

Carlos asked meaningfully.

"Yes."

He folded his hands and said, "Why do you always give me a preoccupied feeling, as if you were unhappy?"

A trace of sadness flashed through

Alicia's eyes, but a faint smile stil hung on her lips. "Can I be happy? I married to a man who has been divorced six times, and still ignored me and bullied me."

"You finally admitted that I ignored you."

"This is a fact, I have never denied it."

Carlos looked at her watch, "It is still early, shall I take you out?"

"Why, are you guilty?"

"If you think so."

Alicia raised her chin complacently. "Then I'll give you a chance to mend your ways."

Two people went downstairs together, Sara asked, "Are you going out?"

"Yes, Mom, we go for a walk."

"OK."

The old lady nodded happily. When her son and daughter-in-law stepped out of the door, she said to His husband, "Alicia has completely occupied our son's cold heart."

Edward didn't think so, he said,

"Don't hold too hope, Dulcie hurt our

son badly. It is not so easy to heal. As long as the wound does not disappear, he cannot accept a new relationship."

"I will be fine with Alicia. We can wait. I believe one day it will disappear, no matter how deep that piece of wound."

"I'm afraid if the wound disappeared, he still liked her. You know, he loved Dulcie."

Alicia followed Carlos to the only sea in B city. The sea at night was more passionate than in the day. The waves were beating on the rocks, splashing silver white water. Carlos found a space to sit down, unscrew a bottle of drink to her, "Drink this."

Alicia was confused. "What do you mean drink this?"

"Don't drink wine any more."

She blushed slightly, thought of the sound recorded by Carlos after being drunk last night, and nodded awkwardly, "Ok."

"It's been a long time since I've been to the beach, at least at night."

Carlos looked straight ahead with deep eyes like the sea.

"Why? You're afraid of ghosts?"

He stare at her, "I like ghost, otherwise how they said I am a devil?"

She laughed, "That is true."

"Lie down. You can see many stars."

Alicia was the first to lie down on the sand and pat his place beside him.

Carlos also lay down with head on both hands. He said, "Watching stars is women's hobby, if men watch stars, they would be considered guys."

"Who said that? When I came to your home, you did not watch the stars, but I thought you were gay."
