Chapter 225
Upon hearing this, Rachel looked at the person in the car with surprise.
The light was a little dim, and she didn’t see the man’s face clearly for a while.
The next moment, the door of the car was opened from the inside, and the person in the car got out and walked to Rachel: “Auntie, it’s me, Norris.”
“Norris”
Rachel glanced at it roughly and felt that this man was familiar.
She took a closer look and discovered that this man was not Norris who had been married to Isabel before?
Norris had also been to Hunt’s house several times, and Rachel had an impression of him. He was a handsome young man, otherwise he would not be favored by Isabel.
After so many things happened, Isabel and Norris didn’t have much contact. Instead, she fell in love with an actor.
“Why auntie is still here at night?”
Rachel looked embarrassed by Norris’s question, and of course hesitated to say what was going on after hesitating for a while.
Even if she didn’t say it, Norris could guess a little.
“My house is not far from here. If Auntie doesn’t mind, you can come to my house tonight.” After Norris finished speaking, seeing Rachel’s face turned awkward, he said very thoughtfully, “It’s my own house.”
It must be inappropriate for Rachel to go to Norris’s house now.
When she heard that it was his own house, Rachel smiled: “How is this suitable…”
“There is nothing inappropriate,” Norris said, and politely opened the car door for her.
Rachel smiled and got into the car.
Along the way, the two chatted with each other.
Unconsciously, Norris directed the topic to Alyssa.
He asked unintentionally, “It’s been a long time since I saw Alyssa. How is she recently?”
“You also know Alyssa?” After a brief surprise, Rachel remembered that he and Isabel had complained to her before, saying that it was Alyssa who wanted to steal her boyfriend.
Isabel’s boyfriend at the time was Norris.
Does Alyssa still like Norris?
“Yeah, I am her senior and have known each other for a long time.” There was a hint of nostalgia in his tone, as if he had a good relationship with Alyssa.
Rachel couldn’t help asking: “Are you trying to take me in because of Isabel or Alyssa?”
“Of course it’s because of Alyssa.” After Norris finished speaking, he added: “Alyssa is a good girl.”
At this time, the car has reached the community where Norris lives.
Norris stopped the car and opened the door for Rachel: “This is it.”
After he finished speaking, he opened the trunk again: “Please wait for me, I want to get something.”
Norris took something and walked ahead to lead the way.
Rachel followed him, looking at his back, wondering if he was her son-in-law.
Such a polite and gentle young man was many times better than that Karl.
She shuddered when she thought of Karl, and then she continued walking inside.
…
The next day.
When Alyssa entered the restaurant, she saw Mattie who was serving breakfast at the table at a glance.
It was not that she deliberately wanted to see Mattie, but that Mattie was too conspicuous.
Although Mattie wanted to snatch Karl from her, she also had to admit that Mattie looked good, and she had a bit of temperament in addition to her, and she also specially put on makeup, even if she was wearing ordinary maid clothes. It can also bring out her uniqueness.
Mattie settled down after yesterday’s events, planning to take it slowly step by step.
Seeing Alyssa coming in, she nodded slightly: “Madam.”
Karl was already sitting at the dining table.
She got up late recently. Karl got up very early when he wanted to go to the company, but it was usually when he finished his meal to go to the company, and Alyssa got up.
Sometimes she was lying in bed, and when she went downstairs, Karl was no longer there.
As soon as she sat down, she heard Karl say: “Today’s court session, I might be back later.”
Karl was talking about Isabel’s case.
The prosecution was for intentional injury, but Alyssa was not injured.
However, the lawyer is Clayton, and Isabel’s sentence is already a certainty.
Alyssa thought for a while and said, “I’ll go too.”
She wanted to go to the auditorium, but she couldn’t say what her psychology was. She just wanted to see if Isabel had any regrets.
Karl frowned, “I just go.”
When Alyssa heard this, her expression changed, she put down the spoon in her hand, and squinted at Karl.
She thinks this request is not excessive, why should Karl not let her go?
Besides, Mattie is still here. Isn’t this a shame to her?
The reason why she kept Mattie was also that she wanted to see how sincere Karl was towards her.
She believed in Karl, but occasionally felt a little uneasy in her heart.
No matter how she looked at it, she was not worthy of Karl.
All her confidence is only because of Karl’s sincerity.
Karl’s eyebrows tightened: “It’s cold, and your body is inconvenient.”
Alyssa did not back down: “I can wear more, the doctor said I am healthy.”
She was still a little bit brooding about Karl not letting her go out before. The two people didn’t mention the incident again, but it didn’t mean that the incident passed like that.
Karl raised his eyes and stared at her for a few seconds: “I will come back to pick you up then.”
Alyssa remembered what happened before, and she felt a bit congested for a while, and continued to lower her head to eat, but what she said was to drive him: “Okay, you go to work.”
Karl pursed his lips and left with a cold face.
Mattie looked at Alyssa mockingly after watching Karl go out.
In her opinion, Alyssa was too self-righteous, and even dared to disobey Karl.
Alyssa felt that someone was watching her. She raised her head to look at Mattie, curled her lips, and said quietly, “I know what you are thinking.”
Mattie’s complexion changed first, and then replied as usual: “Really?”
She didn’t believe Alyssa knew what she was thinking.
“Karl is an excellent man. Everyone knows that, so you all flock to him. It’s not difficult to understand, but…”
Alyssa paused slightly, her expression serious: “Everyone is an individual, not an accessory to anyone. She has her own thoughts and ways of doing things, and is with a man who looks better than her family. Must lower your posture?”
Mattie’s complexion changed slightly, her lips pressed and did not speak.
Alyssa thought it was a little funny: “Oh, you may not be obsessed with Karl too much, but you think that the status of Karl is very beautiful. You are not the only woman who thinks that Karl has the status. Where did you come from? Confident that Karl will definitely see you?”
Mattie was a little anxious when she said, “Alyssa, shut up! You speak so high-soundingly, you and I are not the same!”
Alyssa pouted: “Of course I am different from you, after all, I am Mrs. Adams now.”
Seeing Mattie blushing with anger, Alyssa thought it was quite fun.
Chapter 226
When she saw Karl coming out, she got out of the car and opened the door for him.
“Sir.”
Karl nodded slightly, his expression still a little cold.
After getting in the car, Karl asked Smith coldly: “How did you divorce your wife?”
Smith was stunned for a moment, wondering why Karl would ask such questions.
But since Karl had asked, he naturally wanted to talk.
“I can’t tell what it was because of, and I have forgotten what the last quarrel was because of. At that time, each of us thought that divorce was a good way for each other.”
Smith’s tone was filled with loss.
“Do you still love her?”
Smith did not hesitate: “Yeah.”
“Since you still love, why agreed to divorce?” Karl’s tone was still indifferent, but he could feel the subtle emotional ups and downs in his tone.
Smith vaguely understood why Karl would ask him about the divorce.
“She brought it up. She said that she was suffering every day. The divorce might make her feel better. I couldn’t bear to see her in such pain.” Smith’s voice became hoarse.
Karl sat in the back row, looking from his direction, he could see his mature and steady face.
His special assistant is a man who takes care of the overall situation steadily. He is not special, but he is cautious and loyal, so he caught Smith at a glance.
“Aren’t you in pain yourself?”
“Yeah.” Smith seemed to think of something happy, and smiled slightly: “But I can go to see my son once a week, so I can see her again.”
Karl frowned slightly, his voice implied anger: “You have a child? Since you already have a child, how can she leave you as long as you don’t give her the child?”
Some time ago, Karl had known that he had not let Alyssa go out.
He probably knew where Karl’s heart was.
“If I let go, it will make her live a little bit happier, I’m very satisfied.”
“Even if you didn’t give her happiness?”
“Yes?”
“Heh.” Karl sneered, “It’s better to tie two people together in pain.”
Smith was also a little helpless about Karl’s thoughts: “Sir, you can’t count things like that.”
“Oh? It seems that you are very happy to be a widow?” Karl said mockingly.
Smith: “…”
If you disagree, you must sprinkle salt on his wound.
He followed Karl after graduating from university. He naturally knew Karl better than others, knew that Karl had a knot, and had seen Karl’s methods.
He didn’t dare to say that Karl was a good person, but he dared to say that Karl was not bad. This was also the reason why he had been with Karl for so many years.
A person can work under another person for many years, not only because of the generous salary, but also partly because of the person’s own personal charm.
…
Alyssa had breakfast and sat in the hall looking through the calendar.
She was shocked now that the New Year would be coming in less than ten days.
Putting the phone aside, she felt a little annoyed.
Previously, the news on the Internet has passed, but it’s about the end of the year. Now she doesn’t have to rush out to find a job. Besides, she’s still pregnant. Few companies want an employee who will take two months of maternity leave after becoming a regular employee.
All plans were disrupted, and they had to wait until the child was born before starting again.
Every time like this, Alyssa’s complaint against Karl appeared again.
“Do you know who I am?”
“Sorry, Sir gave orders…”
“Dare you let me go in and try!”
There was a quarrel outside, Alyssa recovered and got up and walked towards the door.
When she left the hall, she saw a crowd of people gathered around the door of the villa, as if arguing.
The bodyguard seemed to be stopping someone.
But the bodyguard was too tall and completely blocked the person who was talking to them, Alyssa couldn’t see it.
She walked over: “What happened?”
“Young lady.”
The bodyguards stepped back and nodded respectfully.
At this time, Alyssa could see that the person blocked by the bodyguard was Anya who had met once in Adams’ Old House.
This time, Anya was more polite than in Adams’ Old House.
When she saw Alyssa, she smiled and called out: “Alyssa.”
Alyssa could see that she was deliberately pleased, but she pretended not to see it, and said with a look of surprise: “Are you here to find Karl? He went to the company.”
Anya’s complexion stiffened, but soon returned to normal: “No, I heard Grandpa say that you are pregnant and came to see you specially. I also brought you a set of cosmetics used by the pregnant women.”
As she spoke, she raised the handbag in her hand.
Alyssa glanced at the logo on it and recognized that it was a product of the Hunt family. Karl had already sent several sets to her.
Reach out and don’t hit the smiley people, since Anya is here, she can’t drive her away.
“Thank you so much.” Alyssa reached out and took it: “Sit inside.”
When Anya heard this, she was about to follow her inside, but the bodyguard did not let go.
Alyssa glanced back, “This is Boss’s cousin, why don’t you let her in?”
The bodyguard then let Anya in.
Anya stepped forward to take Alyssa’s arm pretending to be affectionate, but Alyssa calmly avoided it.
She retracted her hand in embarrassment, looked around and breathed a sigh of relief when no one was looking at her.
As soon as she entered the door, Alyssa saw Mattie.
Alyssa called her directly: “Mattie, help me take this thing and put it away. Sister Anya gave it to me. Keep it safe and don’t break it.”
After a showdown with Alyssa yesterday, Mattie thought that Alyssa would embarrass her, but unexpectedly, she did not find faults to embarrass her.
But she would not think that Alyssa would be so kind.
At this moment, she heard her telling her to take something, and she sneered in her heart. She was about to show the tail of the fox!
When she looked up and saw Anya, her expression changed quickly.
“Anya?”
“Mattie!”
The two called each other’s name almost simultaneously.
“You know each other?” Alyssa was surprised.
In fact, she did it deliberately. Mattie is the daughter of the director of the Rostenvel TV station, and Anya is the host of the TV station. The two knew each other.
When Alyssa did not graduate, a classmate was doing an internship at Rostenvel TV Station, and some people talked about Anya and Mattie.
But at that time, she didn’t know that the director’s daughter was Mattie.
Anya is an airborne soldier, and anyone with a discerning eye knows that her status is unusual, and Mattie is the daughter of the director of the station. What she does is behind the scenes. The two of them often meet in work relations and look good, so they are naturally compared.
So two people often compete together.
Alyssa had just seen Anya before remembering this.
Anya noticed the maid’s clothes on Mattie and said mockingly: “I heard people say that Miss Adkins wanted to marry into our Adams’ family, but I didn’t expect that you would rather be a maid and join our family.”
Mattie turned pale with anger: “What does it matter to you?”
