The president's seventh bride

Chapter 24: All too Clear

"No need."

Carlos refused indifferently without looking at her.

"Why? It is convenient to contact when there is something."

"I don't think we need to contact."

"..." OK, fine.

The next evening, Alicia finished a day's work and went home from school. She went straight upstairs

and quickly took off her uniform. Then she chose a lavender dress from the wardrobe and put it on.

She wore a little makeup and a pair of small and exquisite ear studs. Her long hair was casually

combed back. She still had an aura of unsurpassable elegance in that modest dress.

Looked at the time, she hurried downstairs and met with Aurora who had just entered the house.

Aurora looked at the stunning Alicia, "Wow, Alicia, you are so beautiful today! Are you going on a

date?"

"It's not a date, it's a banquet." She explained with a smile.

"Alone or with my brother?"

"With him, but he hasn't come back yet."

Alicia looked over the door and began to worry that Carlos would make a U-turn, or forget the

appointment tonight, or be delayed by something...

Seeing Alicia’s anxious face, Aurora couldn't help but chuckle and appease her, "Don't worry. Bad as

Carlos is, he is principled, and he will do what he has promised."

As Aurora finished speaking, they heard a car whistling outside. They walked out at the same time.

When they saw that it was Carlos' car, Alicia felt relieved, and Aurora took the opportunity to ridicule

her, "So, could you have more confidence in my brother in the future?"

"I'll try my best."

Alicia smiled, and the people who stared at her from the car window in the distance had a strange

feeling towards her smile. But it was quickly dispelled by reason. A man who hated women wouldn't be

charmed by a woman’s appearance. . The reason why he had the feeling was that he saw the long-lost

warm smile.

"Didn't you see me waiting here? Move your butt!"

Carlos became as indifferent as before, with an impatient look on his face. Alicia opened the door and

sat in, asking innocently, "It seems that I am the one who’s been waiting for you, right?"

"Dare you talk back again?"

Well, beggars can't be choosers. It was obvious that she waited for him first, but he deprived the

opportunity to justify herself.

At the banquet, almost all the teachers in the school had arrived. Ellie stood outside alone, looking in all

directions. Last year, she had Alicia by her side at least. This year, she was alone helplessly.

"Alicia, here you come finally."

Ellie greeted her as soon as she saw Alicia, eager to say something. But as Carlos was beside Alicia,

she could not say anything.

"Evening, Mr. Carlos."

She nodded politely. She had met Carlos Noel-Baker at their wedding last time. She had no problem

with Carlos' appearance, but she was quite dissatisfied with the frequency of his divorce.

Although she was dissatisfied, she had no right to interfere in other people's choices.

Everyone had his own path.

"Evening."

Carlos responded lightly and glanced at the crowd in the hall. He said indifferently to Alicia, "I will only

accompany you to walk around here, and I will not stay too long."

"OK."

Not surprisingly, she didn't even think about asking Carlos to stay for dinner.

When they stepped forward, Ellie suddenly grabbed Alicia's arm and whispered to remind her urgently,

"Noah Cooper is back!"

What?

Alicia got a fright. She didn't hear the news of his return in the afternoon. He suddenly came back after

she went home to change clothes. Although there was no shady relationship between them, Noah's

feelings for her were all too clear that everyone knew, and he never hid it. A month ago, he went to

Germany for academic exchange, and he didn't know about her flash marriage. If he knew it, he might

do something unexpected...

Glancing at the man around her, suddenly, she lost the courage to step again.
