“How dare you mock me, Edith! Do you know who I am? How dare you…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Edith interrupted her coldly. “I don’t need you to remind me. I know you’re the superstar, Meggie Huffam, a popular actress, the Sugar Pea, right? You’ve been disguised as a gentle and sweet girl. But if your fans see your real look, they’ll probably be very disappointed, won’t they?
When Meggie heard this, her expression changed drastically. How could she have forgotten such an important thing?
Meggie often came to Carlos‘ place. Here, she was the eldest daughter of the Lawson family. Everyone had to treat her respectfully as a young lady of the manor.
Therefore, she could afford to be arrogant and despotic here. No one dared to say anything because Carlos would protect her from getting into trouble.
But she did not expect to be caught out on details by Edith.
Meggie frowned and said, “How dare you! If you dare to leak this out, I’ll ask Brother Carlos to punish you!”
“Brother Carlos? Does that mean that you’re just his cousin? And I can be considered his lover. Who do you think is more important? As his lover, I know how to give him advice!”
Edith deliberately provoked Meggie to vent her previous resentment this time.
She wanted to prove that she couldn’t be bullied easily!
Last time in the bathroom of the restaurant, she said that arrogantly. Everyone knew her motive, so she was not stupid.
Since she had taken the initiative to provoke her, she would not be kind to her.
Meggie was rendered speechless by her words.
Sister, lover…
Give him advice!
This shameless woman!
Meggie really couldn’t suppress her anger. She raised her arm high in anger and wanted to strike Edith.
Meanwhile, Edith was also ready to avoid it.
But before Meggie’s slap could hit Edith, someone yelled to stop her.
Just as they were quarreling, Carlos had already gone downstairs.
When he saw this scene, he scolded her coldly.
Meggie’s hand stopped in mid–air.
“What’s wrong? Are you going to hit her?”
When Meggie heard this cold voice, her body stiffened as she turned around and looked at Carlos with an awkward expression.
Carlos stood on the stairs and looked down at her. His eyes were aggressive and terrifying.
He slowly went downstairs and approached her step by step.
“Carlos…”
Meggie murmured.
In the end, Carlos approached Edith and wrapped his arms around her.
Edith didn’t want to be so intimate with him, but she couldn’t refuse at all.
Chapter 158
When Meggie watched them pressing against each other, her eyes turned red.
Looking at the man she loved hugging another woman, how could she be willing?
“She will be your sister–in–law in the future. Show her respect, and don’t annoy me.”
Carlos‘ voice was cold and domineering. It seemed that he was declaring his ownership directly.
Meggie instantly cracked up and glared fiercely at Edith. Unable to stand the grievance, she turned around and left.
Seeing that Meggie was crying so sadly, Edith couldn’t help curling her lips and frowning.
“What’s wrong? Do you pity her?” Carlos raised his eyebrows and asked.
Edith said pitifully, “No, did you already know that Meggie loves you? Then why didn’t you tell her your thought clearly so that she would think of herself as the mistress and pick on me?”
Edith thought it was best to be direct about this.
“It’s useless to tell her the truth, so I might as well not say it. I’ve tried my best to stay away from her. If you don’t believe me, you can check if I’m still a virgin.”
While saying the last sentence, he suddenly bent down and pressed his lips close to her ear.
His warm breath drilled into her ears, bringing her the pleasure of a numb feeling.
She felt as if a tiny electric current had struck her, and her body went limp.
His voice sounded low and pleasant, so it was intense and sexy, just like a cup of aged wine, attractive and enchanting.
Now he deliberately lowered his voice, making her feel dizzy, like she was about to get drunk.
Edith couldn’t help praising in her heart, “Oh my god…”
“This man’s voice was so pleasant and seductive.”
Edith took a deep breath and pretended to be calm. The sound must not bewitch her!
She pushed him away and quickly sat down to eat.
“I don’t want to check it. It’s groundless.”
“Are you shy? You’re such a shy child.”
“I’m not a child. I’m an adult, thank you very much!”
“Didn’t you call me uncle? You’re just a little girl. How could you say that you’re an adult? Besides your ID card, how can you prove it?”
Carlos looked over her body aggressively. She wore many clothes, but under his gaze, she felt as if she was naked.
This gaze… seemed to be able to peer into the depths of her soul, bringing her a strong sense of unease.
She subconsciously looked down at her chest of medium size.
Her brassiere cup was just B plus level. You couldn’t even tell she had breasts when wearing loose–fitting clothes!
She quickly held herself to stop the guy from looking at her lustfully. Then she said fiercely, “Carlos, since you are sick, why don’t you lie down in your room? What are you doing here?”
“I’m hungry. You don’t care if I have anything to eat or drink.”
Carlos sat down and said with some grievances.
Hearing this, Edith couldn’t help rolling her eyes. There were housemaids at home. Why did he have to order her around?
However, she still walked into the kitchen without complaint, intending to make some stew for him.
The stew took a long time to cook. Seeing that there were all kinds of flour in the kitchen, she couldn’t help making some

cookies as wel
Finally, the cookies were ready. They were still warm.
“Try it and see how they taste. They’re matcha cookies.”
Carlos looked at the small animal–shaped cookies and couldn’t help raising his eyebrows.
She actually knew how to make these things?
he couldn’t help testing one. It was crispy and refreshing, and the sweet taste was not greasy.
He seemed to be enjoying it
“How is it?” she asked again
“Yummy, it seems that I won’t need to hire a chef in the future. You’re quite good at caring for people.”
Edith’s face turned flushed, and she rolled her eyes at him.
She took a container, put the remaining cookies into it, and then stuffed it into his arms.
“Take this with you. You can fill your stomach with them when you’re hungry at work. It’s better than drinking coffee.”
Carlos looked at the big can in his arms. If he took it to the office, people would laugh at him if they saw it.
But it didn’t mate
He took it and stepped forward to press her against the refrigerator, which scared her so much that her eyes widened.
“What… what are you doing?”
With no answer, Carlos bent down and kissed her on the lips.
