Fall For “My Husband’s Uncle” By Janet Macadam
Chapter 88

Chapter 88

Edith stiffened because of these words, as if all the blood in her body had curdled.

This offer was simply too tantalizing.

If she became Carlos‘ wife, she would be “Mrs. President” of Lawstom. She would be superior to Vanessa in the future, and the latter would never be able to frame her again.

Moreover, she and Simon had never consummated their marriage. They had never even met. Of all the members of the Lawson family, she had seen Carlos the most. Furthermore, the two of them got along well.

Carlos was outstanding, thousands of times better than Simon. Morcover, he was Mr. Right of all the women in Caurtine who wanted to replace a husband.

Moreover, she had a good impression of him, and he had been taking good care of her recently.

It was a sweet deal.

But…

Edith took a deep breath and clenched her fists tightly. To calm herself down, her nails dug into her palms, which hurt a lot.

Only in this way could she maintain her clear–headedness and not be dominated by desire.

She didn’t look back because she didn’t want him to see her so ashamed.

“I’m sorry, Carlos. I can’t say yes. Although Simon and I aren’t a real couple, we are still legally married. If I sleep with you, I’ll be cheating on him. I’m sure you’ll dislike such an immoral woman in the future. I’ll also hate myself for abandoning my principles, so… No, thanks.”

There was something else she wanted to say, which was she refused him in the first place.

She relied on Carlos because she wanted to leave the Lawson family.

Switching from Simon to Carlos seemed to be a glorious move, but Edith knew she would only enter a bigger cage. It might be even more difficult to leave.

She didn’t want to take the risk.

She quickly disappeared into the bathroom, filled the bathtub with cold water, and jumped straight in despite the coldness.

The fire of her desire collided with the ruthless frigidity of the water. For the first time, she felt she was split into halves.

She felt so cold that she was shivering, but the next moment, she was trembling from the heat.

After soaking in the water for 15 minutes, she was exhausted and couldn’t move.

She slumped

her arms over the bathtub’s edge in a miserable state. She would probably slip into the water if she didn’t hold onto something.

It was such a torturous way to control her desire.

Her mouth was dry, and her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton. She felt terrible.

Initially, she didn’t want to ask Carlos for help. However, in her current state, she couldn’t walk out alone.

“Carlos, can you call the housekeeper for me… My legs feel like jelly and I can’t walk out…” she said feebly.

Outside, Carlos was still furious and could not calm down for a long time.

He suddenly hated this game, where he was cast as both the director and the actor,

When he discovered the truth, he should have told Edith he was her real husband.

“What did I get myself into?”

They had been in a stalemate until now. At such a critical moment, lie had to give up on what was within his grasp.

However, what she said made him unable to retort.

Deep down, he hoped she could say yes so that he could deceive her and make sure she wouldn’t know about this incident for the rest of her life. But at the same time, he also hoped she would disagree. Otherwise, she would betray her marriage, which would be equivalent to cheating on him.

He had done this to himself! Things had deviated from their track for the first time, and he didn’t know how to control them.

Edith was his legitimate wife, but now it was as if they were having an affair!

He was seething with anger!

Ultimately, he opened the sliding glass door, which scared Edith so much that she lost her balance and fell into the bathtub.. She gulped down a few mouthfuls of water.

Carlos rushed forward and hurriedly pulled her out of the water. He retorted. “Are you an idiot? How could you drown in a

bathtub?”
