Chapter 144
Badly frightened by his words, Edith hurried to answer, her eyes flickered with panic, “No… Nothing…”
“I just want to marry you. Is that hard to understand?”
Carlos reached to seize her hand regardless of her struggle.
“Everything seemed to become simple somehow whenever I am with her,” he thought.
Edith stared at his big warm hand that clasped hers. Something lukewarm began rippling within her.
“This big hand… seemed to be able to shelter me.
Is that… really the case?
I didn’t know much about this man, except for some of his temperament.
Even not until recently did she find out that he used to have a fiancee,” she thought.
“Uncle… I hardly know you until now…”
“But I know you.”
Carlos said lightly while driving the car with his injured hand effortlessly.
“But I don’t think we suit each other…”
“Is it about age, gender, or sex?” Carlos asked curiously, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Edith blushed at his candidness. She would have been offended if it were someone else, including Johann, who said these words. However, for some reason, she felt nothing wrong when Carlos said those words.
“Could it be… that I began appreciating this man from the bottom of my heart?” Edith thought.
She couldn’t help frowning slightly. Finally, an idea struck her mind.
“Our social status… is different and I’m naturally not in your league. There are so many excellent girls. Why do you take a fancy to me? How incredible! I can’t figure it out no matter how hard I try. Uncle, please tell me the true reason.”
“This guy has no way to hide the truth from me anymore,” Edith thought.
Carlos was lost in thought.
“Why do I accept this little girl?
The first time we met, Edith ordered me to stand still with a serious face and then asked me for help in embarrassment.
For some reason, I can’t bear to refuse and see her bright eyes flicker with sorrow. I hope that her eyes will twinkle like stars for good.
I like her bright smile and narrowed eyes when she is laughing. This is probably the reason why I long to see her every day.
Later, when we met in the private room of the bar, she wasn’t panicked at all when playing cards, which made me quite pleased.
After that, we met again and again. I did appreciate her but hadn’t fallen in love yet.
It was not until found out that she was my wife that my feelings for her changed slightly.
She waited for me for a whole day, but refused to leave because she didn’t want to let me down.
This was the first time someone told him loudly that disappointment was terrible. She was afraid that I would wait for her and be disappointed.
From then on, I, perhaps, fell in love with her.
It is unrealistic to fall in love at the first sight.
But the more I know about her, my love for her naturally becomes deeper.
However, if she asks me about it seriously, I really don’t know how to answer,” Carlos thought.
“Because you are different.”

He said with a vague gentle smile.
Edith frowned slightly. “Don’t I look the same as others?” she thought.
“Probably I find your face attractive.”
Carlos looked back at her with a particularly serious and deep look, as if he could see her mind.
Edith stared at him blankly. Her heart gave a physical lurch.
Seeing her panic, Carlos knocked heavily on her head. “Stop looking at me like that. We are arriving soon. I have to attend a dinner party tonight and won’t stay overnight. I’ll ask the driver to drive you there tomorrow. I’ll come over for lunch.”
“Okay.”
Edith was slightly disappointed at his not sleeping here tonight. She as if… had got used to living in the same house with him.
Edith got out of the car and waved goodbye. “Don’t forget to miss me tonight. I’ll turn up in your dream.”
His tone was as overbearing as ever. Edith was amused.
“You even have a say in my dreams?”
“Of course. You are mine and can only dream about me.”
Carlos said with a smile. He felt that he became younger after dating her.
Dating her…
He was indeed dating her. It felt so good even if they hadn’t slept together until now. He liked the feeling of the two of them being together. He pampered her and hoped that she would stay by his side everyday.
Perhaps, this was how a man should treat his beloved one.
Edith entered the house after his car left, took a shower and went to bed. She tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. Too many
things had happened tonight.
They quarreled so fiercely that Carlos even refused to meet her for a whole night yesterday. Unexpectedly, the two of them. reconciled that quickly.
“How unbelievable…” she thought.
Edith flipped through the address book on her phone and accidentally found Simon’s number.
He had gone on vacation with his model honey and would not be back for a while.
“After all, he was my nominal husband. Shall I tell him about what happened between his uncle and me?”
Edith thought for a moment and texted Carlos in the end.
[Shall we talk?]
Carlos was in the car. He replied the moment seeing the message.
[What?]
[Now I’m still your nominal wife, so I need to ask for you permission first. Are you sure that I can pursue my true love regardlessly? I’m afraid… if you go back on your word, I’ll be in trouble!]
Carlos stared at the message. Her tone was full of fear and politeness.
[I heard about what happened between you and my uncle. Don’t worry. It’s okay for me. My uncle is a good person. How do you like him?]
A plan suddenly popped into Carlos‘ mind. It was a good chance to probe Edith’s mind.
Edith couldn’t help rolling on the bed twice upon seeing the message. She caught a glance at the door frame and complained, “He’s none other than a tyrant who wants to have a say in everything! As for his character, he’s as fierce as a devil whenever getting angry. It’s so scary! What’s more, he often knocks on my head heavily. I even feel there is something wrong with my brain because of those heavy strikes. Will I get compensation for the injury I suffered?”
She asked curiously.

Carlos thought about it carefully and realized that he did have the potential to be a tyrant. He always held her under his control and often knocked her on the head. This was not the first time she had complained.
But he couldn’t stop.
It felt so good to tease his lovely wife!
