“What what are you doing here?”
“Didn’t you go to my uncle and say that you have something to tell me? What is it?”
Hearing this. Edith was slightly stunned. She did not expect Carlos to be so kind as to help her pass on the message.
She was so grateful to Carlos and wished him good luck.
Edith quickly expressed her thoughts. “Hello, Mr. Lawson. To be honest, we don’t know each other at all. At the very least, we haven’t officially met yet. I feel a little ridiculous that we are husband and wife. I think… you just need a wife, and it doesn’t matter who she is. Can you let me go? If so, I will be grateful to you for the rest of my life”
“Then what can you do to repay me?” The man’s voice outside was calm and indifferent, which made Edith nervous.
Edith was just a poor girl who had just graduated. How could she have anything valuable?
“…I have nothing, but I will work hard to make money. I will give you my salary, okay?”
Edith spoke in a pitiful manner. Outside, Carlos was amused when he heard this. He felt Edith was proud. After marrying into the Lawson family for so many days, she had not spent their money at all. She had very few clothes. And she rarely wore her new clothes.
This villa was like a temporary residence for Edith. She was ready to leave at any time and did not want to stay here at all.
“Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. I’ll let you go when I find a suitable woman. You can also pursue the man you love. Tell me when you meet him. I’ll help you.”
“Uh… Then will it be considered an affair?“.
“No, but it must be your true love. Don’t try to fool me, or you’ll have to bear the consequences. I have other things to do tonight, so I’ll go first. If you need anything here, just go to Ned.”
As soon as Carlos finished speaking, steady footsteps came from outside the door and slowly faded away.
Edith stood there in a daze and it took her three minutes to come to her senses.
She thought, “How could Simon indulge me so much that he even allowed me to pursue my true love?
Oh my, when did he become so kind?”
Edith went back to bed and didn’t fall asleep until dawn because she was nervous. In addition, she had a low fever, so she slept for a long time.
When she woke up, Edith immediately sent a text message to Carlos. She praised him to the skies.
Carlos was in a meeting when his phone vibrated. He glanced at it and smiled when he saw the message.
His smile frightened the people in the meeting room.
They thought, Carlos, who has always been meticulous and serious during working hours, is actually smiling. Unbelievable!”
The group of people were trembling with fear. All of them were drenched in cold sweat, speaking cautiously.
As soon as the meeting was over, everyone began to whisper.
“Did Mr. Lawson smile?”
“Did you make a mistake?”
“Is my acquisition plan inappropriate?”

Chapter 47
“My goodness… Did he know that I was dozing off just now?”
After a day’s rest, Edith went to work. As soon as she arrived, she saw Johann waiting downstairs.
A tired look appeared on Johann’s handsome face. It seemed that he had had a terrible time for the past two days..
When Edith saw Johann again, she had mixed feelings. She was so sad.
She wanted to pretend that she had not seen Johann and take a detour to leave, but he stopped her.
“Edith…” Johann choked. He knew that he had done something awful, and he was too ashamed to beg for Edith’s forgiveness, but he still wanted to explain. Unexpectedly, as soon as Johann called Edith, Vanessa’s voice came from behind.
“Edith, Johann and I are here to give you an invitation. We hope you can attend our wedding.”
