The president's seventh bride

Chapter 57: Too Much Exercise

When Carlos had finished dressing, Alicia had still locked herself in her room. Carlos went to knock at

the door and said, "You are open-minded. There's no need to be ashamed of such a trivial matter."

There was no response in the room.

He continued to knock on the door, “Don't take it to heart. You can ask for that to me."

"Come out, it is my bad, I should not leave you alone."

The door was open. Alicia was angry with him and shouted out of control, "What’s your problem,

running out to swim in the middle of the night?"

Carlos was stunned, “You know I have a problem."

“Yes, I know, but I didn't know you were so ill!”

"Do you know now? It's not too late to know. Don't be so hard on a sick man. Be gentle.”

Alicia must have had some brain trouble when she was thrown in the pool last night, so he came to

him.

No, she hadn't been thrown into the pool before she came to him.

It must be because of the heavy rain in T city two days ago. It got into her mind by accident.

"Hurry up, I will take you to shop."

Alicia snorted, "No, my clothes have dried."

"Are you so sloppy? Not changing on such a hot day? Even if it's cool and dry, the smell of sweat is not

on it."

She said, “Delete that recording, and I will do anything you say."

"Ok."

He took out the mobile phone and deleted it in front of her.

Alicia sighed with relief and pointed to the living room sofa. "Give me five minutes." NôvelDrama.Org holds this content.

Two people together stepped out of the room, but bumped into Oskar, who was with a beauty. He

greeted, “Good morning, Miss Alicia."

"Good morning."

"Did you exercise too much last night? Why is Miss Alicia so weak?"

He teased to ask Carlos, Carlos nodded, “Yes."

Alicia gave him a sharp pinch, and he smiled meaningfully. "We have to go out for a while. Please tell

Wilfred and Otto that we will leave for B city at 3:00 PM."

"Ok."

Oskar showed a smile. When he walked away with the beautiful girl on his arm, he did not forget to

tease Alicia, “Exercise more in the future. Carlos is strong."

Alicia was speechless. When she went out of the hotel, she asked Carlos, "How do you know the

Oskar, Wilfred and Ottto?"

Carlos said, “Do you think I am better than them?"

Alicia had no answer. Though he was not as lustful and frivolous as the others, in other respects he

was really no better than them.

Although the economy of T City was not as developed as that of B City, there were a lot of large

shopping malls. However, after visiting several shopping malls, Carlos was not satisfied.

"Just pick one. It's not like I'm going to attend any grand ceremony. What about picking and choosing

like that?"

Alicia was impatient. Carlos pursued perfection in detail, but she did not pursue it.

"How can we arbitrarily choose? No matter people or clothes, we cannot hold the attitude of

compromise. We must choose our own satisfaction. You women, in particular, can't do it. Once it

becomes a habit, your life is basically half ruined."

"Everyone knows it, but it is hard to do it. You frequently get married and divorced, it is compromise."

"It isn’t, it is just a kind of revenge on women. I want to torture every vain woman, let them know that

you can't have love and money at the same time."

Alicia was surprised. This was the first time Carlos confessed to him the deep distrust of love.

"Did Dulcie leave you because of this?"

"No."

Alicia was again surprised, expecting to receive a rebuke or a direct indifference for her question. But

he answered her, without elaborating, but at least confronting the sensitive subject.

"Then why?"

She asked, carefully, and though she told herself to stop, she could not conceal her curiosity.

"You know all about it."

Carlos gave her a light glance.

"Mother said she betrayed you, but I've always thought that's not the case. True love doesn't quickly

transfer to another person."

"Not really. At first I thought there were other reasons, but that's what happened. She went off with my

friend and didn't come back for three years."

She dared not ask any more questions as the sadness flashed through his eyes. To satisfy her

curiosity, she could not do that.

"By the way, I've got a store I think you might like."

She said. Carlos tidy up his mood and asked with interest, “Where?"

"Moden Mall. The layout or clothes are very different from other malls."

"Oh? Let’s go?"

"Turn the car around and I'll direct you."

Carlos turned around and drove in the direction of QB Road. Alicia gave him directions from time to

time. After about twenty minutes of driving, he finally arrived at his destination.

When he got off the bus, he asked casually, "Do you often come to T city?"

"No," Alicia denied.

"Then how do you know the road here so well?"

"Oh, two days ago I came here with friends for honeymoon clothes."

Carlos did not ask again, apparently believing her words.

There were two dwarfs at the door of the mall. They bowed and said, “Welcome.”

Carlos burst to laughter, “What is this? Fairy tale world?"

"Don't look down upon the seven dwarfs," said Alicia proudly. "They rarely bow to guests, unless they

are bound to them."

"I don't see it.”

"Stand aside. It's me bound to them."

"What?"

"I look more like a princess, so..."

Carlos could not help but a burst of laughter, "so, they take you as Snow White?"

"Something like that."

"You really have conceit," He tutted.

The first floor was for daily necessities, and the fifth floor was for clothes. Alicia led him to the elevator

and said to him, "See you on the fifth floor." Then she turned around and started to go.

“Where are you going?”

Carlos grabbed her clothes and pulled her back.

"I'm going up to the fifth floor."

"You don't take the elevator?"

"No."

"So you fly up?"

She pointed to the left corner. "There are stairs. I'll just walk up."

"You have too much strength? Why don’t you take the elevator?"

Alicia bowed her head and gently took away his hand. "I'm used to it."

Carlos stared at her back in bewilderment. When she disappeared around the corner, he suddenly

remembered that she was suffering from claustrophobia. He immediately ran after her and pulled down

Alicia who was already walking up the stairs.

“What are you doing?”

"Didn't you say that if I deleted the recording, you would do anything I said? Now I want you to take the

elevator."

Alicia shook her head in embarrassment. "No, I can do other things than this."

She continued to go upstairs, but Carlos grabbed her, “No, you must go with me."

"Why can't you make allowances for me? I hate the elevator, all right?"

"Isn't it claustrophobia? Is it that scary? Let the Prince save you today."

Carlos pulled her to door of the elevator, and said with a serious tone, “Believe me, you can do it."

Alicia could not believe that this was from the mouth of Carlos. He insisted on her to take the elevator,

she thought he was deliberately to fool her. And he wanted to help her overcome the shadow in the

heart.

"No, I've tried this before, so don't waste your energy."

"You used to be a person, but today I am here. Don’t worry and stay with me. A failure does not mean

that it would always be a failure. small strong like you, should not have weaknesses."

Alicia's heart was even bitter at hearing this. No one had said such words to her since the moment she

was born.

All these years, through all kinds of bitterness, she was always alone. She never thought about what it

was like to have another person beside her.

The elevator door opened and Carlos took her hand and stepped in.

He pressed on the fifth floor and the door closed. A familiar fear began to hit her. As the elevator began

to rise, her face turned pale, and her chest seemed to be blocked by something, and she could hardly

breathe...
