Chapter 50: An Unexpected Guest
Chapter 50: An Unexpected Guest
Alicia sent Noah away before turning her attention to the man she had left out for a long time.
"Carlos, do you know that you are abnormal? I'm just a dispensable person to you. Why are you
coming here in the middle of the night?"
"You think you are worthless. And that's why you are so shameless, right?"
Carlos looked gloomy as if there was a thunderbolt in the next second. He was thinking about how to
apologize to this woman all the way, but saw such a scene that he didn't want to see.
"Pay attention to your wording. What I did is shameless?"
He raised his watch, "At twelve o'clock at midnight, you made out with a man downstairs at a friend's
house. Aren’t you shameless?"
"First, we didn’t make out with each other. Second, even if he did something, it’s our business. Does it
concern you?"
Alicia retorted sharply, making Carlos angry.
"So, you admit that you have adultery with him?"
As if hearing the most ridiculous joke in the world, Alicia sneered and raised her head upright, "Could it
be that only you are allowed to find a man for me, so I shouldn't find a man for myself?"
"You are a teacher. Don’t you feel ashamed to say these words? You dated another man without telling
your husband, and you still seem to be so reasonable!"
"You are the one who should be ashamed. You gave up your wife first. Don't try to shift blame."
"Don't use other people's occasional mistakes as a reason for indulgence. Being shameless is a
normal attribute of your behavior. Even if that doesn't happen, you won't be peaceful."
Alicia was obviously hurt. Her eyes were covered with thin mist. Mia had said a lot of times that she
was shameless by nature, and she was used to it. However, she felt unprecedented sad to hear it from
Carlos.
Maybe it was because even if people all over the world could look down on her, at least her nominal
husband should not look down on her.
"If you come here late at night just to mock me. Congratulations, you did it."
Alicia turned around and left. Staring at haggard figure, Carlos really wanted to smack himself.
"I won't do that again."
With deep remorse, he stepped forward quickly, blocking her way.
"What?"
She raised her chin and asked calmly.
"I won't bet on Alicia anymore."
Alicia wavered, but she didn't want to say anything. She walked in front of him in silence.
Carlos saw that she was not moved. In a hurry, Carlos finally left him self-esteem and yelled, "I'm
sorry..."
Even though it was very hard to wait, fortunately, she heard it. Alicia had the impulse to cry. She didn't
say a word, and walked on until she disappeared completely in front of him.
Frustration, being ignored, pain, all kinds of feelings intertwined. Carlos finally believed that women
were born to torture men.
The next evening, he came home from the company. As soon as he entered the door, he saw a woman
sitting on the sofa. At the same time, his mood suddenly became very good.
Alicia was obviously not very happy to see him. When her eyes crossed with him for a short time, she
turned away indifferently and moved to another place.
At dinner time, it was lively as previous. Aurora talked a lot and his mother also had a good appetite.
As for Alicia's reasons for leaving home these days, they all knew. No one mentioned it.
As soon as the dinner was over, Alicia went upstairs. She sat in her room and took off the bandages,
ready to put some medicine on it and bandage it again. Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Because both hands were injured, it was very inconvenient for her to do it. However, she refused to
trouble her family.
Carlos leaned against the door frame and looked at her for a long time. But she didn't notice him.
Carlos couldn't help thinking that the woman was really too persistent.
Cough coughed deliberately to attract her attention. He put down his hands and walked in.
"If you want to argue with me, I'm sorry, I'm not free now."
Alicia glanced up at him, then lowered her head again, and continued.
"Do you think I'm here to argue with you?" Carlos grabbed her hand and, for the first time, applied the
medicine for her gently.
How could she enjoy his gentleness? Alicia wanted to retract her hand, but he scolded her with
displeasure, "Don't move. You're so clumsy."
Alicia couldn’t help but sigh and say earnestly, "Are you schizophrenic? If you are good to others in this
second and become bad next second, you will easily torture others into lunatics. Do you know that?"
"Well, I know."
He nodded calmly.
"Then, why are you still like this?"
"I have made a profound reflection. So, don't worry, I will try my best to treat you well in the future."
"Really?"
She was suddenly flattered.
"I think I am sincere enough to convince you. Do I look like I'm cheating?"
"I can't figure out why you suddenly decided to treat me well."
"Because it's not fun to bully you. It's a hard work."
Carlos replied naturally. Alicia couldn't help laughing, "It's really hard. In order to protect the rights and
interests of being my husband, you get hurt on your face. Well, do your parents and Aurora know why
you get hurt?"
"If you dare to tell them, I'll take back what I said."
Sure enough, Carlos, who was extremely pride, would never say that his hurt due to a fight for a
woman.
After wrapping her hands, he straightened up and took something out of his trousers pocket and
handed it to her, "This is for you."
Alicia widened her eyes. Wasn't this the jade bracelet that her mother-in-law gave her? What did this
guy want to do?
"Why?"
"There's a deep wound in your wrist. If there's a scar, wear this to cover it up."
She quipped her lips, "Do you really want to give me a sweet after hurting me?"
Carlos put the bracelet into her hand, "It's worth much more than a sweet."
Alicia stared at the bracelet in her hand, and smiled.
Over the next few days, Carlos seemed to have really made a profound reflection, and his attitude
towards her was much more friendly than before. Also, Alicia’s mood became better gradually.
Time flew. The summer vacation was coming, and the busy life began to become leisure. At noon that
day, Alicia was just about to take a nap, but received a call from her uncle and asked her to come out
to meet.
She had a bad premonition. Maybe it was because there was never a good thing when her uncle called
her.
After changing her clothes, she came to the agreed place, Yipin Tea Bar, where located in the city
center.
As soon as she entered the door, Alicia caught a glimpse of her uncle sitting in the first row. When she
saw the one opposite her uncle, she stunned and turned pale.
"Alicia, here, here." Ramon waved his arms to Alicia. Alicia took a deep breath and walked over with a
sinking heart.
She permitted herself a wry smile and greeted to the man opposite her uncle, "Dillon, long time no
see."
The middle-aged man who was called Dillon raised his head slowly. His sharp eyes exuded the
shrewdness of a businessman, "Alicia, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I was worried that
you would not recognize me when we met."
Alicia put down her bag and sat down slowly, "How can it be? You are my benefactor. I will never forget
you."
"That’s good."
Dillon Lee nodded meaningfully, picked up the ceramic cup in front of him and took a sip.
He was a self-made nouveau riche. When he was a child, his family was very poor. His name was not
Dillon Lee at that time. However, after a lot of hard work and becoming rich, he changed his original
name Mario Lee to his current name, which showed his determination to become a rich man in the
world.
" What are you doing in B City this time?"
Alicia asked nervously.
Her uncle on one side glared at her with displeasure, "You. You should know the purpose."
Dillon Lee smiled faintly, "Maybe she forgot. I she remembers, I won’t have to come here."
To be honest, Alicia really forgot that her fate was in the hands of this person if he didn't appear
suddenly today.
"I'm a little busy this time, so I didn't go back to see Felix."
"Busy getting married?"
Her heart cluttered and glared at her uncle. Ramon received her reproachful look, but showed a very
innocent expression.
"As you know, I'm going to take the time to go back and explain to you."
"No need to explain. Your uncle has explained it to me. I just want to know when you are going to end
this marriage and fulfill your promise."
What should be faced must be faced. Although it seemed to be a little unkind, Alicia still said, "Sorry,
Dillon. Let’s cancel the original agreement."
"Cancel?"
Dillon Lee sneered, "Unsurprisingly, you are now married into a rich family. Then you have support, so
you feel that our agreement at that time can be voided, right?"
"I'm sorry for breaking the contract like this, but I really can't fulfill my promise now. I'll pay you double
that hundred thousand dollars. Please let me go."
