DRAMA NOVEL ONLINE Chapter 79
Chapter 79
Edith immediately smiled awkwardly and said euphemistically, “I don’t mean anything else. I just care about you. After all, your nephew has found such a beautiful wife, and you’re still single. This is a little unreasonable.”
“So, are you going to introduce someone to me?” Carlos asked excitedly.
Hearing this, she smiled and quickly followed the topic with her head nodding repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I just want to introduce a girlfriend to you!”
“You don’t have to worry about that. I don’t need a girlfriend anymore.”
He thought, “We’re already married. Why would I need a girlfriend?”
But for Edith, her heart skipped a beat.
Don’t need a girlfriend…
The reply carried too much information. Edith realized that she should not ask him about his girlfriend so thoughtlessly. This topic was a minefield. It was the same when they had dinner last time.
She was so scared that she quickly stuffed a mouthful of spaghetti into her mouth, fearing that she would be killed if she knew too much.
They soon finished eating. She cleaned up tableware and said, “Uncle, are you staying here tonight? Good night. Have a good dream!”
“Now there are only two of us, a woman and a man, in this room. Aren’t you afraid of anything?” he asked curiously.
Until now, she showed no uneasiness on her face, as if she didn’t care if he stayed here or not. Even if he was an elder, he was still a man. Was she so afraid of arousing suspicion when they returned just now? Why did she accept it so calmly now?
Edith was amused by his words. Did Uncle Carlos take her a fool? He had given her so many hints, which fully proved that he didn’t like women at all.
Since he didn’t like women, why should she be afraid?
But she didn’t dare to say it out. Instead, she said, “I know you’re a gentleman. Good night.”
She turned around and left with a smile, just like a rabbit. Her slender back quickly disappeared from his sight, and for some reason, he was given the title of “Gentleman“, which depressed him a lot.
Carlos did not understand why he did not look dangerous and she felt safe to stay with him.
When Edith went to bed at night, she was more careful and locked the door.
The next day, when she went downstairs for breakfast, she realized that he had already left. She could not help but heave a sigh of relief.
She was having a delicious breakfast when her phone suddenly vibrated. There were several photos sent by Vanessa on WhatsApp./
Her eyes widened at the sight of the photos.
The first photo was of Carlos holding her in his arms in the rain last night.
The second photo was of them entering the house together.
The third one was a photo of Carlos leaving in the morning.
There was a message from Vanessa below,
I didn’t expect you to be such a woman. It’s shameless for you to be with your uncle. Come to see me at the Bee Cloud Café. Let’s have a talk about it. If you don’t coine, I’ll make these photos public and let everyone see who you are!”
After seeing the photos and the message, Edith frowned and immediately called Vanessa.
Soon, the phone was answered. Vanessa sneered and said, “Edith, I didn’t expect you to be so reckless. You know that Simon. is unreliable, so you reached out your hand to Carlos, right?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. My uncle and I are innocent. Can you stop thinking about ine with dirty thoughts? Do you think everyone in the world has done the same shameless thing as you?”
Edith’s eyes turned cold. She clenched her fists tightly and felt that every cell in her body was burning with anger.
Slander and frame up?
Vanessa had gone too far!
