The president's seventh bride

Chapter 64: The Hidden Secret

He knew she was avoiding him. A woman took the initiative to confess her love to a man, but she was

rejected cruelly, absolutely he could understand the embarrassment and disappointment she felt, so

these days he had been thinking about how to ease the tension between them.

After thinking again and again, he sent her a text message, "Are you free tonight? We should talk to

each other."

Waiting for a half hour, he did not receive her reply, he then directly dialed her number, but she didn’t

not answer it.

He then called her for several times again, Alicia still didn’t answer the phone. Instead of saying "She

didn’t answer the phone," it would be fairer to say, "She didn’t have the courage to answer the phone".

She was afraid that Carlos would said to her, "Since we can not be together like we used to be, then

let’s break up."

She knew very well how short Carlos's marriages were, and she knew even better that, to date, her

marriage to Carlos had lasted exactly three months only.

His words were still ringing in her ears on the day of the wedding, but she didn't expect time would Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g

pass so quickly, and in a blink, it was time to end it.

"At 6:00 pm, I'll be waiting for you at 35°C, see you later."

The second text message from Carlos came, and Alicia fell into a deep thought.

At 5:00 pm, after a meeting, Carlos was ready to go to 35℃, and called Alicia before leaving, but she

still refused to answer the phone.

Alex opened the door and came in, he saw Carlos’s gloomy expression, and asked sportively, "be

troubled by love, right?"

"Stop talking nonsense."

"Do you dare to say you're not attracted to your new wife? Do you know how long you've been married

with her?" Alex pointed to the calendar by his table, "Total three months, breaking the record of your six

previous marriages."

If Alex did not remind him, Carlos really did not think that he and Alicia had been together for three

months, at the same time, he also suddenly understood the reason why she did not answer the phone.

He quickly edit a text message and sent it to her, "I have something to talk to you, but it’s not about

divorce."

He thought Alicia would answer the phone, but again, she still did not answer it, he could not help but

feel a bit upset, throwing the phone to the table.

"There are only two possibilities for a woman not to answer a man’s phone, she either loves the man

too much or hates the man too much."

Alex asserted with certainty, Carlos did not respond.

"Maybe she is resenting herself for loving you too much."

He continued to say, Carlos replied to him snappishly, "That is the story only for Romeo and Juliet."

"Then just tell me frankly, do you really have no feelings to Alicia?"

Alex had been working with Carlos for more than ten years, they were close friends, that was why he

dared to talk to him like that.

"You know very well who is the person in my heart."

"Then there will not be no feelings at all, right? The fact is that you can have a lot of other feelings to

her, such as family or friendship affections?"

"Yes, I have other feelings to her. But I can't say it clearly."

"What feelings that can not say clearly?"

Carlos sighed slightly, "She is more than a friend, but lees than a lover to me."

"That is the family affection, it’s all clear, right?"

"Maybe."

He got up and looked at the watch on his wrist, "I have to go now, don't you get off work?"

"I am leaving as well."

Carlos sat in the box of 35℃, waiting for Alicia's arrival. Although he knew she might not be in a good

mood, but he believed that she would come, because she was not the kind of woman who would

always run away from reality.

In fact, he still knew her, Alicia did come. Although she was seemed in a good mood, but looking at her

eyes deeply, the sorrow still could been seen.

"Are you going to keep avoiding me like this?"

Carlos looked straight at her and asked helplessly.

"No, I just want to wait until my mood is completely set before facing you."

"I'm sorry if I make you sad, I'm not a good man, but Alicia you are a good woman, I do not deny that I

have a feeling for you, but this can not be a reason for me to accept you, because in my heart, Dulcie

has never left, in such a case, if I accept you, it is unfair to you, to myself is also a burden. It is

impossible to have two women in my heart at the same time. On the surface I love you, but deep in my

heart, I love another woman. This kind of love, I believe it is also not what you want."

"Yes, I understand."

Alicia suppressed the great sadness that welled up in her heart and said with a forced smile, "Let’s

order something to eat, I'm hungry."

"Okay."

Carlos knew she was sad, but couldn't comfort her. Because from his standpoint, comforting her made

him like a hypocrite.

He ordered many sumptuous dishes, Alicia picked up the chopsticks and smiled bitterly, "You really

don't love me, half of these dishes are not my favorite."

Carlos was a little embarrassed, "Then I'll ask them to remove some and re-serve."

"It’s okay, let's eat."

The two of them ate in silence, occasionally raising their heads to look at each other, but immediately

their eyes shifted away.

At this moment, Alicia thought, there was no greater distance in the world than this, right? The eyes

that looked at each other, but there was no affection at all.

"What are your plans for the future? Will you still stay in our house?"

"If you don't kick me out, I will stay here."

"Is it okay even without love between us?" Carlos asked cautiously.

"Three months have passed through even there is no love between us, then why bother to worry about

the future."

That was the truth. Not every marriage happened because of love. Two people who met on a blind date

could get married after spending some time together, did they dare to say how deep the feelings

between them were?

How many of the couples who got married for various reasons really love each other? Either because

they liked each other or because they made compromises, more often because they just thought they

fitted for each other.

There was nothing wrong being together because they were fit for each other. A right marriage with a

lifetime of quarrels could be a good choice as well. Although there may be some regrets, occasionally

the couple may think why they couldn't be together because of love, but only together because it was

right...

"Shall we go home?"

Getting out of 35 ° C, Carlos asked Alicia.

"No, you go home first, I have somethings to do."

"Do you want me to send you there?"

"No need, it's not far from here."

Carlos nodded, "Okay then, be careful on the way."

When his car faded from the distance, Alicia walked to the nearby cinema, then watched a movie that

she could not understand. She looked around, and found others was so fascinated by the movie, she

suddenly understood what loneliness was.

Mia thought three months had passed away, and Alicia was still in the Carlos Noel’s. She obvious

broke the rumor that the crazy man Carlos’s marriage would never last for more than three months.

The fire of jealousy burned inside Mia’s body, she didn’t want to wait any longer, no matter in what way,

she would have to break down Alicia's lies.

She thought for a while and decided to start from the retarded Felix, but the father of that retarded Felix

was obviously in cahoots with Alicia, so it seemed she had to find another person, but who to look for?

Mia listed several relevant people, and finally focused the target on Ramon.

Ramon, of course, knew Mia, but had never talked to her before, so for her sudden invitation, he

seemed very surprised.

"What do you want from me?"

His tone was not very kind, filled with hostility.

Mia smiled charmingly, "Why is Uncle Ramon so cold to me? Although I am not related to you by blood,

I am related to your niece. For the sake of my sister, you shouldn't be so cold to me, right?"

"Humph! For the sake of my dead sister, I don't think I should be kind to you, I even should be more

hostile to you."

"Margot died of an illness, and it has nothing to do with our family, why are you being so aggressive

with me?"

Ramon slapped his hand on the table and angrily yelled, "You are still young, don't say such mean

words, be careful of the wrath of God!"

Mia was startled by his brutal action, hurriedly nodded, "Okay, okay, I don’t say it anymore, let’s go

back to the subject."

"This time I ask you out to talk about my sister’s matter, how did you sell my sister?"

"What are you talking about? When did I sell her out?"

"That fool named Felix, didn't you sell her to his family for 100,000 yuan?"

Ramon was shocked and his eyebrows frowned, "How do you know about this?"

"So, there really is such a thing?"

"I don't know."

Mia had already guessed the truth from his astonishing expression just now, seeing that he did not

admit it, she sighed and said,

"You just admit it, my sister has told me that you are the one who plans this matter, I really don’t expect

you to be so heartless, Uncle Ramon, selling a normal person to a retarded man, and shamelessly

saying it is for the sake of your sister, you do such an evil thing to her daughter, how can Margot rest in

peace in the heaven?"

"You are the ones who have no conscience. If it wasn't for your mother and father being so heartless,

how could Alicia have been ended like this? It was the Joliot-Curie family that ruined her life. If my

sister finds out, she will one day become a ghost to avenge herself and her daughter!"

"Oh, Uncle Ramon, why are you arguing with me like that? I am here to discuss with you how to cancel

the marriage, although my sister and I don’t have the same mother, but I can't bear to see her marry a

retarded man."

She beckoned to the waiter, "Please serve us some food and bring us some wine first."

Ramon said with a gloomy face, "I'm not in the mood to eat with you."

"No matter what, we have to eat. Let's settle the matter between my sister and Felix, okay?"

"You don't have to pretend to be kind, will you care about Alicia? Unless the sun were to rise in the

west!"

"My relationship with my sister is not as bad as you think, if we are not close to each other, how would I

know about Felix? My sister now is in a great trouble, on one side is that retarded Felix, on the other

side is that crazy man Carlos, both of them can not afford to offend, and she will not be happy to be

with either of them."
