Chapter 22: Owe Him a Favor
"Can you stop talking to me in such a commanding tone every time?" Alicia stared at him angrily, "If
you had been nicer, I would still have an appetite. But now I have no appetite at all after listening to
your words."
Carlos snorted, "I have already shown you respect to come up to call you for dinner, don't be This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
ungrateful."
"Thank you for the respect, but I'm not going to show you respect, so please go out and don't bother
me again."
"Well, are you shooing me away? Don't forget, this is my home!"
"It's your home, but it's also my home. We are husband and wife. We are equal. If you have the right to
come in, I have the right to let you out."
Carlos had never been so ignored by a woman. He was blue in the face suddenly. He grabbed her
wrist and warned, "If you were not a woman, I would whack you!"
"Do you think you say so, I will give in to you? Threats will never work on me."
Carlos was deeply regretted. Didn't he open the door to a dangerous person? How could he be
obsessed and give this woman a chance? If he knew that to give others a way out was to give himself
a dead end, he would certainly not push himself here.
"One last time, will you go downstairs, or not?"
The handsome face was like a pool of ice water, sending out the chill. Alicia quitted while she was
ahead, so her tone softened, "I know that mom must have threatened you, and I don't want to
embarrass you. So, I'll go downstairs with you to have dinner, but you have to promise me a request."
"What?"
"Tomorrow is the anniversary of our school, and there will be a celebration banquet in the evening. I
want to invite you to join me."
Alicia said that and nervously waited for Carlos to get angry. Not surprisingly...
"This is endless! I just accompanied you back to your mother's house today, and I need to accompany
you to attend what banquet tomorrow. You are busier than a boss like me. Do you think that I have
nothing to do every day and just waiting for you to order?"
"No, no, you misunderstood. I didn't expect it to be so coincident. All things came together. People
always attend the banquet with their husband or wife every year. You can't let me be special, can you?"
"Together, well, what about last year? Who accompanied you last year?"
"I was single last year. So it was a different cup of tea. But now my colleagues know that I am married
this year."
Alicia whined with grievances and helplessness, but Carlos didn't go soft. He said coldly, "Whatever
your reason, I won't agree!"
When he turned to go, she grabbed his arm, "Just eat a meal. It will be fine if you don't eat. Just do a
walkthrough, okay?"
"No! You want to bargain with me? I haven't discussed it with you about the thing that you concealed
your identity. Don't think that I will forget it even if I don't pursue it now. It is not over."
"That is fine, let's discuss later. Can you promise me first now? I guarantee that this is the last time this
year I ask for your help, and there will never be a third time. "
"The last time this year? Oh, will I be with you for many years? Can you please stop being so self-
righteous?"
Alicia immediately nodded, "OK, I will try to be less self-righteous and more self-aware, try not to make
you angry, and try not to make you hate me. In short, I will try my best to avoid what you dislike."
Seeing that she gave in to this point, Carlos thought for a moment, "Well, for the sake of your sincerity,
I agree for the last time. Remember, it is the last time. If you dare to use me as a driver again, I will get
even with you for all the things. Also, this time you owe me a favor. The next time I ask you to pay
back, as long as you are not told to die, you must do it."
