Chapter 138
Hearing this, Robert frowned slightly and looked at him with an odd look. “Carlos, something’s not right. Things are definitely not as simple as you think. I’ve called and was told that Ms. White came back crying tonight. Did you give her a
hard time?”
Carlos‘ face took on a ghastly expression.
His lips were tightly pursed as he exuded a terrifying aura.
The atmosphere in the room became tense.
They couldn’t help shivering.
“Carlos… we’re friends. Is there anything you can’t tell us?”
Hearing this, Carlos slowly raised his eyes. There was a hint of confusion in his eyes as if he did not know how to deal with it.
He said with a troubled expression, “Edith seems to know about Natalie.”
As soon as Carlos finished speaking, his friends looked at each other. It was obvious that this was a big deal.
Frowning. Robert asked nervously, “Well, how much does Edith know about it? Does she know everything or just a little?”
“I don’t know. I don’t know what Meggie said to her. She left without saying a word. She refused to see me after she went back and said that I was a liar.”
Carlos said in distress.
He always had the situation well in hand and didn’t even frown when sealing a deal worth billions of dollars.
But now he was at a loss for what to do with a woman. He even found helpers to give advice.
When had Carlos ever gone through so much trouble? When had he ever been rejected like this?
That bold girl was probably the only one who dared to give him the cold shoulder.
It was nothing that he tore down the door. He hadn’t taught her a good lesson yet.
How could she shut him out?
Looking at the worried look on Carlos‘ face, Robert laughed so hard that he almost couldn’t breathe.
He didn’t expect that the cold and aloof Carlos would want to solve his emotional problems. It was hilarious to think of that.
Robert’s laughter was nothing but added salt to Carlos‘ wounds.
Carlos narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Why don’t we go to the boxing stadium to have a competition? How about I use one hand to fight you?”
Hearing this, Robert stopped laughing and put on an awkward expression.
“Uh… Carlos, I don’t think it’s a good idea. Even if you don’t use your hands, you can still kick me down! Let’s get down to business. I’ll definitely help you coax Edith and I’m sure she’ll eventually come around. No, it’s us…”
Brian and Aaron waved their hands in unison and said, “We all heard it. You, a master of love, promised that. It has nothing to do with us. Aaron’s every relationship end in failure, and I’ve been single for ages. You’re the only one popular among women. You must have a way to help Carlos. And Brian and I will give you support mentally and materially respectively!”
Brian’s thick eyebrows were raised in anger when he heard this.
Chapter 138
Now he finally understood why Aaron couldn’t find a girlfriend. It was definitely not because of his occupation but because he was too stingy!
Aaron came from a rich family, but he lived a frugal life. He was always the one who paid the least among them. He even said that he was economical, but in fact, he was stingy!
But since Aaron had said so, Brian quickly echoed him.
Brian quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, Carlos. I’m sure he can handle it. He is, you know, a master of love, after all
Hearing these words, Carlos narrowed his eyes slightly, and his cold gaze fell on Robert.
In an instant, Robert felt a headache and overwhelming pressure.
Well… Carlos, actually…”
“You can do it, right?” said Carlos, stretching his arms.
He clenched his fists so tightly that cracking sounds could be heard. Suddenly, Robert was too scared to think.
He immediately swallowed and said helplessly, “Yes… I can.”
“Then tell me, what should I do now?”
“Now, Edith feels that you are just her husband’s uncle, but we all know her marriage with Simon doesn’t exist, and divorce is not the way to fix it. We can only wait for the right time to tell her the truth, but this is not your problem. Now that Edith has known about Natalie, things become tricky. As your friend. I still have to ask you a serious question. How will you choose between Natalie and Edith?”
Upon hearing these words, the serious gazes of the other three immediately landed on Carlos.
Natalie was once Carlos‘ fiancée, and Carlos had been deeply in love with her and almost married her.
But because of what happened later, they broke up.
Now, the so–called five–year agreement was almost over, and Natalie was available again. The Lawson family was her home, and she had to come back sooner or later. What about after she came back?
Edith had to face Natalie, Carlos‘ ex–fiancée every day. Wouldn’t she feel uncomfortable?
If Carlos still couldn’t be sure who he was in love with by then, things would be complicated.
Brian scratched his head and said with some confusion, “Carlos, could it be that you want both of them?”
Hearing this, Carlos narrowed his eyes threateningly at him.
Brian immediately lowered his head and lapsed into silence.
Robert took a deep breath and said, ‘In fact, we all understand your feelings for Natalie in the past five years. Now you suddenly give up on her and decide to accept Edith. Is it because Natalie has been with Edward for five years?”
“It has nothing to do with Natalie. Edith is a special person to me. I know what my mother is thinking. She was worried that I won’t get married for the rest of my life, so she arranged a marriage for me and found me the most suitable wife. Originally, the candidate was Vanessa, the daughter of the Meyer family, but by accident, Edith replaced her. I’m not dissatisfied with that. Even if it’s not Edith, it’ll be someone else.
“I get along very well with her. She… is different from others. She could easily touch the softest part of my heart and I took pity on her.”
“What about Natalie?”
“She… she already has a better choice. All I feel for her is guilt and pity. I know very well whether I love her or not. I’m determined to have Edith for the rest of my life.”
“What if… what happened five years ago happens again? Edith might not be as lucky as Natalie to meet someone like
Edward.
Aaron felt necessary to remind Carlos of this.
Carlos was the cause of the disaster five years ago, and the others were innocent victims.
If Edith went through that again….
Hearing this, Carlos exuded a terrifying aura as if he was a demon from the abyss of hell.
The atmosphere in the lounge instantly turned gloomy and weird.
