Fall For “My Husband’s Uncle” By Janet Macadam
Chapter 76

Chapter 76

When Edith heard Carlos‘ threatening words, her heart skipped a beat. She suddenly remembered who she was shouting at.

He was the head of the Lawson family, hundreds of times more powerful than her. How dare she refute him fearlessly just now? Did she want to die or not?

Edith immediately lowered her head, obediently knelt on the sofa, and said pitifully, “Uncle, I was wrong. I shouldn’t have been so disrespectful to the elders.”

“What? You’re not tough anymore?”

Her pitiful expression made him feel a little guilty, as if he was abusing a child.

Earlier, their argument had erupted like a mountain torrent, but he hadn’t expected that this little girl would instantly soften into a little white rabbit after he roared at her.

She was so weak–minded.

In fact, Edith was also puzzled. When facing Johann and Vanessa, she was tough with harsh words. Even when facing her uncle’s reprimand, she was not afraid. However, when facing Carlos, she was as timid as a mouse.

After thinking about it for a while, she concluded that the reason was that Carlos‘ identity was too terrifying.

He could save her from the sea of misery and push her into eternal damnation.

She did not dare to provoke him. If it was Johann, she would still dare to resist. After all, there was still a chance for her to fight back. However, in the face of Carlos, it was like throwing an egg against a stone, just a hopeless fight.

She was not a fool. She knew that offending Carlos would only lead to death. How could she still do that?

If she could please him, she would. If she couldn’t, she didn’t want to make him unhappy at least.

Only when Uncle Carlos felt good did everyone feel good.

She curled her lips and said with grievance. “I can’t be tough. Uncle is too powerful. I can’t deal with you.”

“In other words, as long as your status is higher than mine, you can deal with me, right?” Carlos did not know whether to cry or to laugh when hearing her words and thought this girl was so cute that she dared to say anything.

“I won’t answer you this question. Because my answer will make you unhappy. If you’re unhappy, I won’t have to live a good life.”

“I know you still feel wronged and have a lot of complaints. Then I’ll wait for you to be nobler than me, and then you can avenge on me. These words will always work,” he said generously, because he guessed that she would never have such a day.

He could not think of anyone else that could be nobler than his status. This girl could not achieve it at all. These words were just empty talk.

However, he had never expected that this girl would become his favorite in the future. He would be jealous if others touched her. She was like a tiger’s bottom and a dragon’s bottom line that could not be touched.

Perhaps the one with a more distinguished status than Carlos was Carlos‘ wife!

Of course, there would be more about this in the future.

Edith was upset about his words, guessing he must tease her in his heart, though his words sounded pleasing to hear.

It was obvious that he was embarrassing her by saying those unfulfillable words.

How could an adult be so narrow–minded?

“Can I sit there? The hot toddy will get cold if I don’t drink it now. It’ll be bitter if it gets cold.”

She looked expectantly at the hot toddy she had not finished yet on the coffee table. Susan was so good at cooking that she wanted to drink more. It would not taste good if it turned cold.

Although temper mattered, it was not worth it to be angry.

“How useless you are! Why are you still thinking about eating at a time like this?”

“Eating is the most important thing for the people. How can you say that? Besides, You’re not the one who has been hungry for a whole day. I was poor, and you didn’t pay. Those waiters talked about me all day, and I had to pay the bill, which wiped out the only several hundred dollars left in my card. How dare you say that!”

“Then what did you eat for dinner?”

“I just drank the hot toddy before I had time.”

“I’m hungry too,” said Carlos indifferently.

Edith’s eyes lit up instantly. “So, Uncle, are you going to order the kitchen to prepare supper?”

“You prepare the supper. Make it for two people.”

“What?” Edith was shocked.
