Alicia looked at Edmond unbelievably.
Melissa pursed her lips and laughed wildly.
"All right. You just got married. Tone it down. Otherwise, others will laugh at you. "
Edmond placed his hands on Alicia's shoulders with a smile and took her to the kitchen.
She was very certain that Edmond did it to make her sick.
As soon as they entered the kitchen where Melissa couldn't see them, Alicia reluctantly patted his hands away.
"What are you doing? "
"We have to visit your family after we got married. Have you forgotten this? "
"Our marriage is fake. You don't have to do that. "
"The caregiver told me that since we got married, your mom was in a very bad mood. She can't eat well and is always anxious. "
Alicia frowned. She was a bit incredulous about it.
But Edmond was Melissa's attending physician, and she knew him well. Even though he was a playboy, he wouldn't lie about a patient's health condition.
He took out the dishes from the refrigerator and put them in the microwave to heat up. Then, he said calmly.
"I have reviewed her recent medical report and found that she doesn't recover very well. If she is not properly taken care of, she may suffer from depression and anxiety and even secondary heavy damage to the brain. "
Hearing this, Alicia felt a bit guilty and remained silent for a few seconds.
Melissa didn't know that Alicia had borrowed money from Edmond and signed a contract with him to treat her illness two years ago.
Melissa also doubted why the Ago family treated them so well.
Alicia did a good job of keeping the secret and told Melissa that she and Edmond were in love and that Edmond really appreciated her talent and wanted her to take over the company.
She didn't want Melissa to think that she was using herself as a bargain.
However, Melissa was not stupid, and she could sense something wrong between Alicia and Edmond. In particular, she wondered why Alicia and Edmond had never visited her after they got married.
She didn't recover quite well, so if she had a lot on her mind, she would probably have a depressive disorder.
"How should I cooperate with you? "
Alicia sounded more sincere now.
She trusted Edmond in treating a patient.
Ding...
Edmond opened the microwave, took out the hot dishes, and put them down. He looked at Alicia with a smile for a few seconds, and then he slowly bent over.
His deep and magnetic voice echoed around her ear.
"In a situation like this, shouldn't you beg me to cooperate with you? Sweetheart? "
He came so close that she felt his breath at the temple, making her tingle.
Seeing her ears instantly turn red, Edmond stood up straight with satisfaction, resumed his smile while Alicia was glaring at him angrily, and took the dishes out of the kitchen.
"Come on, sweetheart. "
This word really made Alicia sick.
But she couldn't let Melissa know about the truth, so she had to cooperate with Edmond and acted like a happy wife at the dining table.
"Sweetheart, you have been working a lot lately. You need to eat more spinach for your health. "
It sounded familiar, which was obviously dissing her comment about chives today!
Alicia gave a reluctant smile and said, "Thanks, dear. "
But Edmond kept giving her a hard time. He picked up food with chopsticks and tried to feed her. "Here. Open your mouth. "
"......"
Seeing that they were being so intimate, Melissa couldn't stop smiling.
If Alicia hadn't seen how Edmond flirted with other girls every day, she would almost believe that he was a good man.
She knew that she couldn't fall into his gentle trap.
Their marriage was just a show, and she shouldn't take it seriously.
After dinner, Alicia was about to leave, but it was raining hard outside.
Melissa suggested, "Why don't you just stay the night! "
Alicia was struggling with finding excuses to say no, but Edmond nodded and said, "OK. Thanks, Melissa. "
"......"
Melissa's apartment had two bedrooms and one living room. Naturally, she let Alicia and Edmond stay in the guest room.
Alicia had no intention of being along with Edmond.
After Melissa went back to her room, she grabbed a blanket and a pillow and said to Edmond, "I'll sleep in the living room. You can't say anything to my mom tomorrow. "
Then she was about to leave the room, but Edmond closed the door quickly and blocked her at the door.
He gently unbuttoned his shirt with one hand and gave her a charming and flirty smile.
"It's time for you to cooperate with me. "
"Sweetheart. "
