Chapter 28: Surrender
When Alicia finished speaking, she walked to her secret room, but Carlos grabbed her rudely, "Who said you can go in?"
"I'm going to pack things, don't you want to drive me away?"
"Hey, you give up so easily? Didn't you determined to fight me to stay here even die here two days ago? You gave up so easily tonight, is it that the man gave you any promise and made you feel that there is a way out?"
"What should I do to make you believe what I said? The relationship between him and me is not what you think."
"I only believe what I see with my eyes."
Facing his aggressiveness, Alicia looked down and thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Are you jealous?"
"Oh, jealous?" Carlos pointed to the bathroom mockingly, "Go and look in the mirror first."
"No, there is a mirror in my room."
She stared at him and went into the cage-like secret room. Carlos followed her in. She reminded him displeasingly, "I want to rest. It is very late now."
"So you know it's late. I thought you didn't have any idea of time. You made such a big joke for me. How dare you sleep here?"
Alicia took a deep breath, "I said I'll pack my things and go, but you said it was because I had an affair with somebody else. I'm not leaving now, and you said how dare I sleep here? Carlos, what do you want?" Carlos' head tilted, "What? You angry? You will be angry too?"
"Why can't I be angry? Everyone can be angry, it just depends on whether you can bear or not!"
"Then you can bear it, aren't you very tolerant?"
"If it is something else, I can bear it. I didn't say anything when you let me live in this terrible place, but I can't bear it when you slander me again and again."
"This terrible place?" Carlos raised his eyebrows incredibly, "Are you complaining to me that you are very dissatisfied with the room you live in now?"
"Do you think I should be satisfied? Were your former wives satisfied with it?"
He looked around at random and nodded, "Yes, the design of this room is so unique and well-lighted. What are you dissatisfied with?" Alicia smiled sarcastically, "Since you feel good, then we can change the room with each other. I live your room and you live here."
"Anyway, don't you just want to sleep with me? I won't satisfy you."
"Who wants to sleep with you? You said that I am self-righteous, I think you are more self-righteous."
"If you don't want to sleep with me, why do you complain about the living condition? And you clamored to live my room, knowing that I am obsessed with cleanliness and hate things that women touched, and you still agitated me in such a disguised form. Everyone knows what you want, huh."
Alicia was speechless. She rubbed her forehead, "How can you let me go? Just say it. You win."
She was exhausted by him. She really didn't have the energy to fight with him, so she could only surrender.
"If I drive you away like this, my parents and sister, who are bamboozled by you, will try to threaten me again. So for the sake of the stability of this family, I'll let you off this time. Next time, if you dare to elope or flirt with another man in front of me, I will never let you off, together with your family."
"I see."
Alicia was furious, but for Carlos to end the torture as soon as possible, she resisted venting it.☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
