The president's seventh bride

Chapter 14: Back to Her Family



Alicia immediately took off the bracelet and returned it to Carlos, clearly reminding, "Remember, you must behave well."

He took the bracelet and jokingly asked, "How to behave well? Teach me. I have never accompanied a woman back to her family."

Her voice lowered, "You don't need to do anything deliberately, but just show you love me."

Carlos sneered, "It seems that you are not only self-righteous, but also shabby-genteel. It is obvious that I don't love you, and it is really hypocritical to show love."

Alicia doesn't mind his irony. In her opinion, they are the same.

Turning back to her room, she settled down to review her lessons for the next day. At a quarter to ten, she closed books and took pajamas, planned to take a bath before going to bed. It was the habit of a person with a good schedule.

She opened the door and went out, going straight to the bathroom. When reaching the outside of the door, she was suddenly stopped, "Stop."

She turned and stared at the man who was dozing on the sofa. She asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

"What do you wanna do?"

"Bath."

"Who told you that you could take a bath in this bathroom?"

Alicia stared at him in amazement and said, "There is only one bathroom. Where should I bath?"

"In the next guest room. Go."

She snorted angrily, "Can I live in the next room? I don't want to run hither and thither. Furthermore, I am the annoying person for you."

"Next room is a guest room. Are you a guest?"

"I'm not a guest. But in your eyes, I am not your woman either."

Carlos got up and said lazily, "It is good that you know your place."

Alicia depressingly held her clothes to the next room. Standing under the shower, she was confused, "Since Carlos hated women, why he let women sleep in his room?" "He was really a nonsense and grumpy guy."

The weekend was coming, and it was the time for them to go to the Joliot-Curie family together.

At breakfast, Mrs. Sara said, "Alicia, I have asked someone to prepare the gifts. If you don't come back this night, remember to call me."

"Okay, mom."

Mrs. Sara glanced at Carlos. His face was even more sullen than the cloudy day.

Although Alicia knew that the Noel-Baker family was rich at the beginning, she was still surprised when she looked at the gifts in the car. She seemed to have seen Holly's greedy smiling face. Carlos started the car and didn't say anything. When the car was halfway through, Alicia reminded again, "Remember to show that you are loving me."

"I'll try my best." He stared at the front indifferently and didn't treat this visit seriously at all.

Arriving at the Joliot-Curie family, they saw the people greeting them in two rows from a distance. The people in the back row were the Joliot-Curie family's servants, while the people in the front row were Colton Joliot-Curie and Holly Owen, and their lovely daughter Mia Joliot-Curie.

"Oh, I am missing you day and night. You are here finally!"

Holly exaggerated to embrace Alicia. Alicia smiled, but she felt disgusted as if she had swallowed a fly.

"Carlos, nice to meet you."

Colton reached out his hands flatteringly. The flattering was obvious.

Holly also joined up in time, praising Carlos for his good looks and it was fortunate for Alicia to marry him. Alicia looked at them coldly, and unavoidably laughed at herself in mind, "Here is my home, but no one is my family..."
