Chapter 56
Originally, Carlos wasn’t here to attend the wedding. After knowing that Edith was sent here to work for Vanessa, how could he do nothing as her husband?
Carlos didn’t like Edith, but he had spent so much money marrying her and wouldn’t allow others to bully her.
If Vanessa slapped Edith, he must make Vanessa pay the price!
Carlos had never suffered losses in business and wouldn’t let Edith bring shame on him.
He said lightly, Tm just here out of courtesy. I don’t like such an occasion. Since you want to treat me to dinner, I happen to
have time now.”
“Actually, you don’t have to be in such a hurry. We can eat another day!”
“Do you think I’m as free as you?” Carlos raised his eyebrows and said unkindly.
Edith fell silent.
She couldn’t contradict him at all.
In the end. Edith got in Carlos‘ car and said a place to which the navigation system could not even find a way. She could only personally guide him to the destination.
It was a small restaurant at the entrance of a high school.
The moment Carlos saw the restaurant, he frowned.
Edith saw her favorite food and looked very excited, without noticing the gloomy look on Carlos‘ face.
She even said happily to him, “Let’s eat pasta! Its pasta is the best!”
“You said you’d treat me to dinner, so that’s it?” Carlos asked in a strange tone.
“Yes. The restaurant looks small and ordinary, but it has been open for many years and its food is very clean. When I was in high school, I liked to eat here the most. If you taste it, you can find that the owner uses fresh ingredients!” Edith said excitedly, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly remembered what kind of person Carlos was. She thought he must only eat food made by famous chefs in five–star hotels and wouldn’t even enter such a small restaurant at the roadside.
Edith suddenly looked embarrassed and scratched her head. “Are you not used to this? Then let’s go to another restaurant, but I don’t have enough money and might not be able to afford expensive food.”
“Didn’t the Lawson family give you money? Why are you in such a sorry state?” Carlos said unhappily.
“I don’t dare to spend their money… I can’t even afford to get myself out of that place. How dare I ask them for money?” Edith muttered aggrievedly. Carlos had good hearing and heard every word she said, feeling pity for her.
He couldn’t believe that Edith really planned to give 200 million back to the Lawson family,
“We won’t eat this. I’ll take you to another place. Do you think it’s appropriate for you to dress like this and cat here?”
Only then did Edith realize that she was wearing a formal dress. If any of the diamonds on it fell off, she would be heartbroken. Moreover, with many people passing by, especially kids, she was worried that her dress would be torn.
Just thinking about it made her very anxious.
Edith then decided to go somewhere else with Carlos.
Carlos brought her to an organic restaurant, and its menu prices stunned Edith.

Almost every dish would cost her dozens of dollars. She couldn’t afford it at all!
Carlos looked at the menu coolly. His eyes did not fall on Edith, but it seemed he could read her mind.
“Don’t worry,
“But…”
TII get the money
from Simon. You can just eat.”
“You don’t have to say anything! If the Lawson family couldn’t even afford to feed you, wouldn’t that be too humiliating?” Carlos raised his head and said in a firm tone.
If others knew that his wife lived such a poor life that she had to be stingy with food, she would be a laughingstock of Caurtine. Moreover, it would damage Carlos‘ reputation and cause him to be laughed at by his friends every day.
