Chapter 64: The Hidden Secret


    He knew she was avoiding him. A woman took the initiative to confess her love to a man, but she was


    rejected cruelly, absolutely he could understand the embarrassment and disappointment she felt, so


    these days he had been thinking about how to ease the tension between them.


    After thinking again and again, he sent her a text message, "Are you free tonight? We should talk to


    each other."


    Waiting for a half hour, he did not receive her reply, he then directly dialed her number, but she didn’t


    not answer it.


    He then called her for several times again, Alicia still didn’t answer the phone. Instead of saying "She


    didn’t answer the phone," it would be fairer to say, "She didn’t have the courage to answer the phone".


    She was afraid that Carlos would said to her, "Since we can not be together like we used to be, then


    let’s break up."


    She knew very well how short Carlos''s marriages were, and she knew even better that, to date, her


    marriage to Carlos hadsted exactly three months only.


    His words were still ringing in her ears on the day of the wedding, but she didn''t expect time would


    pass so quickly, and in a blink, it was time to end it.


    "At 6:00 pm, I''ll be waiting for you at 35°C, see youter."


    The second text message from Carlos came, and Alicia fell into a deep thought.


    At 5:00 pm, after a meeting, Carlos was ready to go to 35℃, and called Alicia before leaving, but she


    still refused to answer the phone.


    Alex opened the door and came in, he saw Carlos’s gloomy expression, and asked sportively, "be


    troubled by love, right?"


    "Stop talking nonsense."


    "Do you dare to say you''re not attracted to your new wife? Do you know how long you''ve been married


    with her?" Alex pointed to the calendar by his table, "Total three months, breaking the record of your six


    previous marriages."


    If Alex did not remind him, Carlos really did not think that he and Alicia had been together for three


    months, at the same time, he also suddenly understood the reason why she did not answer the phone.


    He quickly edit a text message and sent it to her, "I have something to talk to you, but it’s not about


    divorce."


    He thought Alicia would answer the phone, but again, she still did not answer it, he could not help but


    feel a bit upset, throwing the phone to the table.


    "There are only two possibilities for a woman not to answer a man’s phone, she either loves the man


    too much or hates the man too much."


    Alex asserted with certainty, Carlos did not respond.


    "Maybe she is resenting herself for loving you too much."


    He continued to say, Carlos replied to him snappishly, "That is the story only for Romeo and Juliet."


    "Then just tell me frankly, do you really have no feelings to Alicia?"


    Alex had been working with Carlos for more than ten years, they were close friends, that was why he


    dared to talk to him like that.


    "You know very well who is the person in my heart."


    "Then there will not be no feelings at all, right? The fact is that you can have a lot of other feelings to


    her, such as family or friendship affections?"


    "Yes, I have other feelings to her. But I can''t say it clearly."


    "What feelings that can not say clearly?"


    Carlos sighed slightly, "She is more than a friend, but lees than a lover to me."


    "That is the family affection, it’s all clear, right?"


    "Maybe."


    He got up and looked at the watch on his wrist, "I have to go now, don''t you get off work?"


    "I am leaving as well."


    Carlos sat in the box of 35℃, waiting for Alicia''s arrival. Although he knew she might not be in a good


    mood, but he believed that she woulde, because she was not the kind of woman who would


    always run away from reality.


    In fact, he still knew her, Alicia dide. Although she was seemed in a good mood, but looking at her


    eyes deeply, the sorrow still could been seen.


    "Are you going to keep avoiding me like this?"


    Carlos looked straight at her and asked helplessly.


    "No, I just want to wait until my mood ispletely set before facing you."


    "I''m sorry if I make you sad, I''m not a good man, but Alicia you are a good woman, I do not deny that I


    have a feeling for you, but this can not be a reason for me to ept you, because in my heart, Dulcie


    has never left, in such a case, if I ept you, it is unfair to you, to myself is also a burden. It is


    impossible to have two women in my heart at the same time. On the surface I love you, but deep in my


    heart, I love another woman. This kind of love, I believe it is also not what you want."


    "Yes, I understand."


    Alicia suppressed the great sadness that welled up in her heart and said with a forced smile, "Let’s


    order something to eat, I''m hungry."


    "Okay."


    Carlos knew she was sad, but couldn''tfort her. Because from his standpoint,forting her made


    him like a hypocrite.


    He ordered many sumptuous dishes, Alicia picked up the chopsticks and smiled bitterly, "You really


    don''t love me, half of these dishes are not my favorite."


    Carlos was a little embarrassed, "Then I''ll ask them to remove some and re-serve."


    "It’s okay, let''s eat."


    The two of them ate in silence, asionally raising their heads to look at each other, but immediately


    their eyes shifted away.


    At this moment, Alicia thought, there was no greater distance in the world than this, right? The eyes


    that looked at each other, but there was no affection at all.


    "What are your ns for the future? Will you still stay in our house?"


    "If you don''t kick me out, I will stay here."


    "Is it okay even without love between us?" Carlos asked cautiously.


    "Three months have passed through even there is no love between us, then why bother to worry about


    the future."


    That was the truth. Not every marriage happened because of love. Two people who met on a blind date


    could get married after spending some time together, did they dare to say how deep the feelings


    between them were?


    How many of the couples who got married for various reasons really love each other? Either because


    they liked each other or because they madepromises, more often because they just thought they


    fitted for each other.


    There was nothing wrong being together because they were fit for each other. A right marriage with a


    lifetime of quarrels could be a good choice as well. Although there may be some regrets, asionally


    the couple may think why they couldn''t be together because of love, but only together because it was


    right...


    "Shall we go home?"


    Getting out of 35 ° C, Carlos asked Alicia.


    "No, you go home first, I have somethings to do."


    "Do you want me to send you there?"


    "No need, it''s not far from here."


    Carlos nodded, "Okay then, be careful on the way."


    When his car faded from the distance, Alicia walked to the nearby cinema, then watched a movie that


    she could not understand. She looked around, and found others was so fascinated by the movie, she


    suddenly understood what loneliness was.


    Mia thought three months had passed away, and Alicia was still in the Carlos Noel’s. She obvious


    broke the rumor that the crazy man Carlos’s marriage would neverst for more than three months.


    The fire of jealousy burned inside Mia’s body, she didn’t want to wait any longer, no matter in what way,


    she would have to break down Alicia''s lies.


    She thought for a while and decided to start from the retarded Felix, but the father of that retarded Felix


    was obviously in cahoots with Alicia, so it seemed she had to find another person, but who to look for?


    Mia listed several relevant people, and finally focused the target on Ramon.


    Ramon, of course, knew Mia, but had never talked to her before, so for her sudden invitation, he


    seemed very surprised.

    "What do you want from me?"


    His tone was not very kind, filled with hostility.


    Mia smiled charmingly, "Why is Uncle Ramon so cold to me? Although I am not rted to you by blood,


    I am rted to your niece. For the sake of my sister, you shouldn''t be so cold to me, right?"


    "Humph! For the sake of my dead sister, I don''t think I should be kind to you, I even should be more


    hostile to you."


    "Margot died of an illness, and it has nothing to do with our family, why are you being so aggressive


    with me?"


    Ramon pped his hand on the table and angrily yelled, "You are still young, don''t say such mean


    words, be careful of the wrath of God!"


    Mia was startled by his brutal action, hurriedly nodded, "Okay, okay, I don’t say it anymore, let’s go


    back to the subject."


    "This time I ask you out to talk about my sister’s matter, how did you sell my sister?"


    "What are you talking about? When did I sell her out?"


    "That fool named Felix, didn''t you sell her to his family for 100,000 yuan?"


    Ramon was shocked and his eyebrows frowned, "How do you know about this?"


    "So, there really is such a thing?"


    "I don''t know."


    Mia had already guessed the truth from his astonishing expression just now, seeing that he did not


    admit it, she sighed and said,


    "You just admit it, my sister has told me that you are the one who ns this matter, I really don’t expect


    you to be so heartless, Uncle Ramon, selling a normal person to a retarded man, and shamelessly


    saying it is for the sake of your sister, you do such an evil thing to her daughter, how can Margot rest in


    peace in the heaven?"


    "You are the ones who have no conscience. If it wasn''t for your mother and father being so heartless,


    how could Alicia have been ended like this? It was the Joliot-Curie family that ruined her life. If my


    sister finds out, she will one day be a ghost to avenge herself and her daughter!"


    "Oh, Uncle Ramon, why are you arguing with me like that? I am here to discuss with you how to cancel


    the marriage, although my sister and I don’t have the same mother, but I can''t bear to see her marry a


    retarded man."


    She beckoned to the waiter, "Please serve us some food and bring us some wine first."


    Ramon said with a gloomy face, "I''m not in the mood to eat with you."


    "No matter what, we have to eat. Let''s settle the matter between my sister and Felix, okay?"


    "You don''t have to pretend to be kind, will you care about Alicia? Unless the sun were to rise in the


    west!"


    "My rtionship with my sister is not as bad as you think, if we are not close to each other, how would I


    know about Felix? My sister now is in a great trouble, on one side is that retarded Felix, on the other


    side is that crazy man Carlos, both of them can not afford to offend, and she will not be happy to be


    with either of them."
