Chapter 73
Chapter 73
Carlos carried Edith into the car and started it immediately.
She was soaked all over and felt very cold, so she shivered in the passenger seat.
He took out a blanket from behind and threw it at her. Then, he turned on the heating and said, “We’ll be home soon.”
Home?
Edith wondered, “Is it the house that Simon has given me or the house that Carlos lives in?”
She did not ask. Anyway, she knew that Carlos would not sell her. Besides, he did not like women, so she was very safe.
However, she was still brooding over what he had done for a whole day!
“What… what did you do? I couldn’t get in touch with you all day, and even Sam didn’t know where you went,” she asked in confusion, her face still full of anger.
This was the reason why she had been in such a mess for a whole day. She had to get to the bottom of it.
“Children shouldn’t interfere in the affairs of adults.”
Carlos looked gloomy, and it seemed that he did not want to continue the topic.
Edith was so irritated that she turned her head away from him.
He was just seven years older than her. Did he have to take advantage of his seniority? How could he say that she was a child? She was obviously an adult.
In this world, only Carlos treated her like a child.
Finally, the car stopped at her place.
She wanted to get out of the car and walk on her own, but Carlos did not give her a chance at all. He directly opened the door and picked her up.
She became nervous and frightened. After all, Susan was also in the house. What if she misunderstood?
Edith struggled and said with annoyance, “Don’t hold me in your arms. What’s wrong with you?”
“Who dares to say no to what I want to do? If Simon makes trouble, I will uphold justice for you.”
“Who do you think you are to be able to uphold justice for me?”
“I’m not sure whether I’ll uphold justice for others, but I’m sure I’ll do that for you.” Carlos spoke word by word and reached her ears, making her tremble all over.
To uphold justite for her….
Even her closest uncle had never said it to her. Now, Carlos said that he would uphold justice for her.
Was it because he was Simon’s uncle?
Edith could vaguely feel that something was wrong, but she couldn’t figure it out. So she did not think about it anymore.
When they entered the room, Susan immediately went up to them. At the sight of Carlos, she widened her eyes, opened her mouth tremblingly, and said, “Mr….”
Before she could finish her sentence, Carlos interrupted her coldly, “Hurry up and prepare the hot toddy. Call the doctor

over.”
“Yes… yes, I’ll prepare it right away.”
Susan didn’t dare to delay and hurried to leave. Before she left, her face was full of shock.
Edith was a little dissatisfied, because she had been living in this house with Susan, and was treated well like family. members. But Susan was so timid in front of Carlos, which made Edith feel uncomfortable.
So Edith wondered how noble and domineering Carlos was that he was so unattainable and terrifying.
Carlos directly carried her upstairs. Before she could guide him, he took her to the door of the master bedroom..
He ordered coldly, “Open the door!“.
“How… how did you know I live in this room?”
“It is the real estate of the Lawson family. Is it strange that I’ve been here? There’s only one master bedroom on the second floor.”
He frowned slightly. He didn’t expect that he almost revealed a flaw. Fortunately, his fast reaction resolved it successfully.
Looking at her confused and innocent look, he guessed that she would not think too much about it, so he simply continued lying to her.
His explanation dispelled her doubts immediately. He was right. It was the Lawson’s real estate, so there was no doubt that he had been a guest here before.
But… it was inappropriate for a man to enter a woman’s room, wasn’t it?
“Well… Uncle, you have to avoid arousing suspicion!”
She said, a little mad in her heart.
He had held her in his arms all the way, and now, he still wanted to enter her room?
