Chapter 17
Alyssa was a little surprised, but Karl was finally willing to see her?
When she knocked on the study door, there was no sense of reality at all.
As soon as she stepped into the study, she heard a husky male voice sound before she could see what was inside: “Who is here at night?”
The man standing by the desk said, “Master, it’s the young lady.”
Only then did Alyssa notice that on the chair behind the desk, a broad man was sitting with his back to her.
Looking from her direction, she can see the man’s head protruding from the back of the chair, and the arm resting on the armrest.
He is a tall man.
Is he Karl?
Looking at Alyssa every night, she calmly looked at her: “Mad”
“Smith?” She just heard Karl call this name.
He nodded and said no more.
He was not a talkative person.
At this moment, Karl, who was sitting with his back facing her, spoke.
“Have you met Trevor?”
Alyssa was stunned for a moment, only to realize that he was talking to her.
Although she had already known from Trevor that the relationship between the two father and son was not good, Karl directly called the name Trevor still surprised her.
“I have seen him.” Alyssa didn’t know what Karl asked about, but she vaguely felt that Karl didn’t intend to let her see his true face.
“What did he say?”
“We just chatted a little bit and talked about your business…” Alyssa said after a pause, “He cares about you very much.”
Those words of Trevor may have a certain purpose, but he must be concerned about Karl.
She is a little envious of him, he can have a father who loves him.
Karl listened to her, but just sneered and said, “Listen to Luther, you get along well?”
When Alyssa heard the word “Luther”, she became stiff and shook her head quickly: “I just saw him in the villa.”
Thinking that Karl, who was she was facing his back, would not see her and shook her head, she added: “We are not familiar.”
For some reason, she deliberately concealed that “Luther” was injured and stayed in her rental house for one night.
“is it?”
The man’s light and fluttering words made Alyssa shudder and dare not speak anymore.
“Luther” didn’t really say something in front of Karl?
“Okay, you go out.” Karl’s tone sounded a little impatient.
Alyssa couldn’t see Karl’s face, but she could feel the indifference that radiated from his thousands of miles away from such a distance.
Half of the reason why she married into Adams’s family was forced by Rachel, and the other half was due to her frustrating willingness.
After marrying into Adams’ house, she never thought that there would be a divorce day, so from the first day of marriage, she planned to be Karl’s wife for the rest of her life.
She bit her lip, took two steps forward, stood closer to Karl, summoned her courage, and said, “Karl, can you… turn around?”
He turned around, and she could see his face.
When she finished speaking, she felt that the room was suddenly filled with suffocating low air pressure.
“I, I don’t mean anything else, I just think that I will be with you for a lifetime, and we shall meet sooner or later. I really don’t mind your…physical condition.”
When Karl behind the chair heard her, he was also taken aback for a moment.
He curled his lips lightly, and his tone was full of malice and disgust: “But I mind if you look ugly.”
Chapter 18
Alyssa was taken aback, then reached out and pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, and responded blankly, “Oh.”
In her cognition, Karl originally hated her.
Therefore, when Karl bluntly said that she was ugly, she did not feel angry or sad.
“Nothing else, I will go out now.”
After Alyssa finished speaking, when Karl didn’t speak, she turned around and went out.
With the door closed, Karl turned his chair and faced the direction of the door.
Oh, this ugly woman is really… unexpected.
…
Since it was still early, Alyssa didn’t plan to sleep either.
She sat down on the sofa in the hall and turned on the TV.
There was an inexplicable excitement in her heart.
Although Karl hated her, he was willing to see her and didn’t embarrass her much.
This alone is many times better than those at Hunt’s family who don’t know much about her feelings.
After a while, a whistling sound suddenly behind her.
Alyssa turned her head and saw “Luther” approaching her lazily.
She stared in shock, why is he here?
Karl looked at the shock in her eyes with satisfaction, and raised her eyes slightly, revealing a light smile: “Cousin, I haven’t seen you for a long time, don’t you know me?”
She looked at “Luther” warily: “What are you doing here?”
“My mother is my cousin’s aunt. I just stay at my cousin’s house for a few days. Is there any problem?” Karl spoke and approached Alyssa.
“Luther” lives in Karl’s house, of course, there will be no problem.
The problem is her.
She can’t take “Luther”‘s frivolousness to her as never happened, and now Karl is in this villa. She has no doubts, with “Luther”‘s unscrupulous temperament, he will definitely do it. Something ridiculous happened and she can’t handle it.
Alyssa didn’t want to give him a chance to do ridiculous things, so she said perfunctorily: “No.”
Then he stood up and walked upstairs with his head down.
However, she still too underestimated the shamelessness of “Luther”.
She didn’t take two steps, she was grabbed by her wrist, and her thumb was rubbing ambiguously on her delicate wrist. He leaned over to match her height and said to her ear: “I haven’t eaten dinner yet. Does my cousin bear to look at me hungry? I’m still hurt.”
Too much happened at night, and Alyssa had almost forgotten the injury of “Luther”.
Karl deliberately reached out and touched her head, his thin l!ps almost pressed against her ears: “Come and help me make some food, I’ll wait for you.”
Alyssa stiffened and was about to push him away. She caught a glimpse of Smith who didn’t know when she came downstairs. She was shocked and her expression changed slightly. She flung away and flashed aside.
“Luther” was not angry, with a smile on his face: “Cousin, hurry up, I’m very hungry.”
Seeing Karl’s appearance at the side of the night, the corners of his mouth twitched and his head turned to the side.
Karl raised his eyebrows and glanced at Smith: “What’s your expression?”
“No…” He just felt that what the boss did was not a man at all.
He was so idle that he had to pretend to be a cousin and molested his wife.
Is it some kind of taboo stimulation?
In the next moment, he denied this idea.
He has been with Karl for so many years, and he has never seen any woman he has seen directly.
Although the lady looks a bit unsatisfactory,… the boss treats her unusually.
