Chapter 49: A Sudden Kiss
Chapter 49: A Sudden Kiss
Of course, Ellie discovered him. So, as soon as she entered the house, she yelled, "Alicia, come out,
come out..."
"What's the matter? What happened?"
Alicia had just taken a shower. As she tied the belt of her bathrobe, she walked into the living room.
"It's extremely terrible. Carlos is here."
Alicia suddenly stiffened, and her eyes darkened. "You told him?"
Ellie raised her hand, "I swear to God I had nothing to do with it."
"Then how did he find here?"
"How did I know that? I met him at the school gate, and I just told him what you said. I didn't expect he
didn't believe it even Noah did. He deserves to be a profiteer, shrewd enough. "
Alicia walked to the window, opened the curtains, and saw a strange car through the gap. However, the
person leaning by the car was very familiar.
"It seems that he has determined that you are here, and he is ready to sit around and wait."
Ellie lay on her shoulder, asserting firmly.
Alicia thought for a few seconds, then turned around and went into the bedroom. She changed her
clothes, striding outwards.
"Hey, don’t be so spineless. Don’t forgive him so easily... Hey, Alicia, have you forgotten what he did to
you..."
Ellie yelled at her back. However, Alicia seemed to be deaf and left.
Carlos stared at the woman walking towards him meaningfully, and straightened up the rocker slowly,
putting out the cigarette in his hand.
Alicia stood in front of him, glanced at the scattered cigarette butts on the ground, and asked blankly,
"What do you want to do?"
"Is your hand better?"
"Does it have anything to do with you? Who am I to you?"
Carlos lost his tongue because of her incisive words. He lit another cigarette.
"Tell me about your reason for coming here."
"I am worrying about you."
He told the truth, but she laughed sarcastically, "Do you really think a sweet can heal all my pain. Do
you really think I will forget the hurt as long as you show your fake love to me? Carlos, I'm not a naive
girl anymore. Don't cry crocodile tears."
"I know you are angry now..."
"So?" Alicia interrupted him, expecting him to say those three words.
"But I really didn't expect you to suffer from claustrophobia at the time."
"It's not surprising at all. You can treat me as a bet and give me to your friend, how could you
remember what I was sick with."
"It's you who said that your pride is worthless."
"No matter how worthless it is, it doesn't mean that I don't need it. People like me who don't have much
are not extravagant enough to throw away worthless things."
It was a sour atmosphere, and both of them fell silent, and no one spoke.
After a long time, Carlos broke the silence, "Go back with me."
"Don’t tell me that until you can really realize your fault."
Alicia turned around and left. At the moment she turned around, her face showed a wry smile. All she
wanted to hear was a word of apology.
But the proud man refused to say anything about that.
When Noah came to find Alicia, it was just two days after Carlos found her.
Alicia didn't know why he knew that she didn't go on the trip. Anyway, no one confided to him, but he
came to her.
When Alicia was about to go out to meet him, Ellie sitting on the sofa said sourly, "You are still as
popular as before..."
Back then Alicia was a famous school baby in B University, and there were a lot of boys chased her.
In the midsummer night, a gentle breeze caressed them. It was refreshing and cool.
"Mr. Noah, do you want to see me about something?"
Noah grinned irritably, "You regard me as an outsider. We are strange enough." Seeing her hand be
bandaged, he grabbed her and asked, "What's wrong with your hand?"
Alicia glanced at the second-floor window. Sure enough, she saw Ellie. Then she retracted her hand
slowly and replied faintly, "Nothing."
"Have you quarreled with Carlos?"
"No."
"Then why do you live here?"
She sighed, "Noah, I know you like me, but I have already gotten married. No matter how much you
care about me, it won’t help. Instead of wasting time on an impossible person, why can’t you look at
other scenery around you?"
"Alicia, you are the only scenery in my world."
Women's hearts were fragile, especially after being hurt by another man.
Alicia did not deny that Noah's words moved her, but she didn’t waver, "If there is nothing wrong, I..."
"Supper with me. This is what you owe me last time."
Alicia was startled and pointed to the wrist watch embarrassedly, "It's too late, isn't it?"
"But I came to you without dinner. I thought I would be rejected every time."
"Then, can we ask Ellie to go with us?"
He shook his head, "I just want to be with you."
While Alicia was still hesitating, Noah had opened the door and made a gesture of please, "If you
refuse me today, then I will charge interest. A meal will increase by a multiple of two. If you don't want
to have a lot of meals with me, pay off the debt."
Alicia sighed helplessly, but had to step forward and get into the car.
In the past few days, Carlos' relationship with his father eased, but he was still in a bad mood.
When eating in the evening, his mother deliberately sighed in front of him, "Hey, Alicia is not here and
everything seems to lost its favor. When will Alicia come back?"
Aurora answered immediately, "Mom, don't look forward to it. Maybe Alicia won't come back in this life."
"Nonsense! Alicia is your brother's wife, where will she go if she doesn't come back?"
"She can go anywhere she wants. She is really patient. If I were her, I would have left a long time ago."
They echoed each other. Although they clearly knew Carlos was unhappy, they still stung him.
Carlos threw his chopsticks on the table, "I'm full." Then he turned around, annoyed and went upstairs.
At night, after his family was asleep, Carlos took the car key and walked out of the house under the
silver-white moonlight.
He drove all the way to the destination, stopped in the dark. When he took out his mobile phone to
make a call, he hesitated. The woman said very clearly last time that she wanted him to realize his
mistake before coming to her. He understood the meaning of her words. She wanted him to apologize
to her. But it was more difficult for him to say ‘I'm sorry’ than thinking about it.
Just as he was hesitant, a silver-gray Mercedes flashed past and stopped fifty meters ahead.
Carlos frowned unknowingly, staring straight at the two people coming out of the car.
Noah drank some wine tonight and looked very excited. He stood in front of Alicia and said with his
deep feeling, "The time with you always flies so fast. I really hope that time can stop in this second."
Alicia smiled implicitly and said, "It sounds like we will never meet again"
"It's because you always refuse to be alone with me, that makes me have to cherish every minute and
every second I spend with you."
"What you can't get is always the best. If every time you ask me out, I promise, you won’t have this
feeling of cherishing.”
Noah stepped forward in surprise, and asked inquiringly, "So, your refusal is just a way to attract me.
It's not that you don't want to be with me, isn’t it?"
Alicia stroked her forehead and sighed. If it hadn't been for Carlos' existence, she wouldn't say so
much to Noah.
"Of course not."
"What is not? It's not that you don't want to be with me?" Content provided by NôvelDrama.Org.
Noah misinterpreted her meaning deliberately. Seeing her eager to argue, he suddenly turned to be
serious, and said solemnly, "Well, don't move. There seems to be something crawling on your head."
Alicia was startled. Before she realized what was going on, he lifted her face and pressed a deep kiss
on her forehead.
Noah, driven by alcohol, did what he had always wanted to do. Even if he was slapped, he would not
regret it.
Alicia was completely stunned, and was frightened by his sudden kiss. When she came back to her
mind, she was indescribably embarrassed.
"If you don't slap me, then I will leave."
Noah raised a smile of satisfaction, and looked more energetic than before.
Someone was happy while another was angry. Carlos, who was sitting in the car at the moment, was
so angry that he couldn't bear it. He slammed the car door, clenched his fists, walked quickly to Noah,
and gave Noah a hard punch.
Noah's eyes went dark, and he fell to the ground.
Alicia screamed and yelled at Carlos angrily, "What's wrong with you? Come over at midnight for fight!"
"You also know it's midnight? What is he doing to you at midnight?"
Carlos received a punch from Noah as soon as he finished speaking. Now the war broke out. Two men
fought hard for a woman. Alicia couldn't stop them at all.
Noah was a Sanda champion, while Carlos was also good at taekwondo. They were equal in strength,
and both were hurt.
Seeing things getting worse, Alicia looked at the gap and squeezed in front of Noah, forcing Carlos to
take his fist back.
"Stop! What gives you the right to beat other people? If you want to blame Noah for what he has done
to me, think about what you have done to me first!"
Alicia was deliberately partial to Noah. After roaring, she took out the handkerchief from her pocket,
turned around and wiped the blood stains on Noah's mouth gently.
Carlos watched this scene coldly, feeling uncomfortable. How much did she hate him that she wanted
to make him upset in this way?
Frustration surrounded him tightly, and it was the first time that he was troubled for a woman after three
years.
