Chapter 9: Bad-mouth


    The setting sun emitting soft light, neither intense nor dazzling, it was quite warm.


    Alicia returned home after finishing her work at school. Therge living room being empty, she went


    upstairs directly, pushed open the door of Carlos'' bedroom, and walked straight to her secret room.


    Suddenly she stopped halfway and nced to the right, being quite speechless.


    Carlos actually had someone change the bed, which was a white one with ck bedding yesterday.


    Today it had been reced with a ck one with white bedding. She walked around the bed for three


    times, without being able to wrap her head around why he hated women to such an extent...


    Even if she touched his bed, couldn''t he just change the bedding? Was it necessary to change the bed


    too? No wonder that he was much more likely to be divorced for being so hard to live with.


    Alicia heaved a sigh, and turned into her secret room. After changing her professional attire, she went


    downstairs again and saw Aurora, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. In a sh of wit, she


    thought that since Aurora was a straightforward person, maybe she could learn something about


    Carlos from her.


    "Aurora."


    She called softly, and Aurora, who was immersing herself in her mobile phone, looked up and replied


    sweetly, "Yes, Alicia."


    "Where''s Mom?"


    "She went to the Imperial Mountain," Aurora bantered with her, "To thank God for blessing her with a


    good daughter-inw."


    Alicia gave a shy smile, and sat down beside her. After looking around to make sure there was nobody


    else at home, she said, "Can I ask you a question?"


    "Sure, what''s it?"


    Aurora was really a pushover.


    "Why does your brother get married and divorced frequently?"


    "Well..."


    Aurora sighed, "Why did each new wife of my brother like to ask this question, and they all asked me?"


    Alicia felt a little embarrassed.


    "I said nothing to all of them before, but since you asked, I''ll tell you a little bit, because I like you."


    She looked out the door and said in a low voice, "In fact, the reason is that my brother almost has no


    passion for women. He''s also quite picky in many daily details. As time went by, even an affluent life


    cannot prevent them from leaving."


    Alicia couldn''t agree more with her on this point.


    "He never let a woman stay in our house for three months. Either she takes the initiative to leave, or he


    will try to force her to leave. Do you know how mean he is? His fourth wife stayed in our house for two


    months, but when she left, he didn''t even know her name. s, he really worries my parents a lot ..."

    "But why did he do this? Is there something wrong with his..."


    "With his brain, right? I feel the same way."


    "Is it really true that..."


    Alicia covered her mouth in surprise. Although she knew there must be a reason, the idea never struck


    her mind.


    "It''s not what you think. Actually..."


    "Aurora, is this how you bad-mouth me behind my back?"


    Suddenly a ghostly voice of questioning came from behind, with the two women being stiff and


    dumbfounded. Alicia only felt as if her heart had skipped a beat. Actually she didn''t like gossip so


    much, but she did that unwittingly out of curiosity.


    Aurora approached her nkly, and whispered to her, "The only thing that my brother cannot bear the


    most is ''betrayal''. I betrayed my brother because of you, so he is definitely exasperated, and the


    consequences will be severe. Alicia, I''ll leave this to you."


    After saying that, she ran away quickly...
