Fall For “My Husband’s Uncle” By Janet Macadam -
Chapter 108
Chapter 108
When Edith heard Carlos‘ gloomy tone, she immediately knew that she was in big trouble.
“I can’t rely on Simon anymore. What should I do?” Edith thought hard to herself.
Trembling, she turned around and looked at Carlos with fear. She was on the verge of collapsing.
“Uncle Carlos… Edith whispered.
Yeah. The man’s voice was low and melodious, his tone was pleasant to the ears, but it gave Edith goosebumps.
“What… what do I need to do for you to let me go?”
“It depends on your performance, and also on my mood. Simon gave me the absolute authority to make decisions. I get to decide on whether you and he would get a divorce. I get to decide if you can leave the Lawson family, and I get to decide…. on anything for you, you hear me?”
When Carlos said the last sentence, he paused and pointed at her nose deliberately before he continued in a powerful voice.
He sounded just like a master who was ordering his slave.
As for Edith, it seemed like she had another identity now, a slave for him and only him.
She felt bitter.
She was powerless to resist, and her heart ached.
Fortunately for Edith. Carlos did not stay for too long because he still had undone work at the company.
She stayed in the room alone and pondered for a long time. She felt that everyone in the villa had been bribed by Carlos. Otherwise, Susan would have said something after learning that Carlos had slept with her. Instead, she was grinning from
ear to ear.
It was as if Carlos and Edith being together was a great thing.
Edith could not be bothered to ask Susan about it. She was too busy with her own affairs to care about what they thought.
In the evening…
The four men gathered in a private room in Royrd.
Four men who were familiar with each other were at a place they were familiar with.
The four of them played poker, but this time, they did not bring any female companions with them.
After hearing what Carlos said, Robert even forgot to make his bet.
In bewilderment, Robert stared at Carlos, his voice trembling. “Damn, she isn’t willing to marry you? Carlos, that’s a huge blow. I didn’t expect that there would be any girls in Caurtine who would reject you.”
Carlos grew sullen at the words.
Brian was skilled at reading the room and kicked Robert’s calf under the table, warning him to think before he spoke. Carlos did not gather them just to play poker, but to ask for their advice on how he could win the heart of Edith.
Brian coughed a few times to help Robert get out of the awkward situation.
Chapter 108
“Ahem, Carlos, it’s not easy to do that! Edith doesn’t know that you’re her husband at all, and she still thinks that Simon is the one she married. If you were to tell her the truth now, it would mean that you’ve been lying to her for the entire month. To me, she looks like a fragile girl, so she’d definitely get upset if she found out that her husband has been lying to her. Plus, you were so mean to her and left her to sleep alone for about half a month before this. When you found out about her identity, you didn’t explain things right away as well. That’s why you’re in a tough spot now.
“You’re right. I think the most important thing is not to clarify the misunderstanding now, but to just keep this on and make her fall in love with you. When she has fallen for you, you can confess and tell her the truth in a romantic situation, and everything would be fine.” Aaron glanced at the card in his hand and said casually.
That’s the card I want. I’m going to win this game, Aaron thought silently.
Robert was surprised to hear that. “Lone Wolf, I didn’t know that you had such a romantic side.”
Aaron had a nickname in the circle, the Lone Wolf, because he had not been single for a long time.
He came from a military family, and most of his family members were strong soldiers and they did not know how to make women happy. Ever since Aaron was old enough to think rationally, he had been hanging around in the police station, managing bloody murder cases. That was why he had always been single.
Therefore, Robert was surprised when he heard Aaron’s plan.
Aaron simply coughed lightly. Then, he took out a romance novel from his pocket and handed it over to Carlos.
“Carlos, I think you’ll need this. I’m not young anymore and it’s time for me to get married. My student recommended this book to me, saying that I could get an idea of what love is from here. I have to say that it has helped me quite a lot! You need these quick–and–dirty tips now, Carlos.”
When Carlos saw the name of the novel, his brows furrowed tightly.
On it was written…
My Story of Winning My Wife Back.
Oh, how mocking the title was.
