His mocking laughter echoed softly in the small room.
Carrie slowly turned to face him, looking at the man’s figure in the darkness, “Actually, I can see that the old man and your fourth uncle still treat you well.”
Smiling, Rafael put a pair of hands on the pillow behind his head, “Ever since I sat on the position of the president, THE Deleon family started to want to walk away from me, I just don’t let them do as they wish, gradually, THE Deleon family except my father like this who hates me to the bone, my eldest uncle, my third uncle like this and I have nothing to say, there remains the old master and the fourth uncle. , there were only two left, the old man and the fourth uncle, who thought I would come around.”
“They never took you seriously before this, did they?”
Carrie frowned, she came from an ordinary background, but her mom gave her the utmost love and respect.
“Before this, they when THE Deleon family didn’t have me.”
Rafael said mockingly, “That’s why it’s better for me to be Enrico’s dog than to be the young master of THE Deleon family.”
Hearing this, Carrie sat up from the bed in a flash and looked at him, “You Rafael don’t need to wag your tail at anyone, you didn’t get where you are today all thanks to your brother-in-law, you’re better suited to be this president than anyone else.”
Not even Paige had denied his ability.
“In a country of capital, money is everything, anyone can be president.” Rafael said.
“No.” Carrie tried to argue, almost a little anxiously, but didn’t know what to say, and after a long pause squeezed out, “At least, I wouldn’t dare think of my brother-in-law as president.”
“…”
Rafael lay there, listening to the urgency in her tone, then thought for a moment about that image of Enrico being president, and laughed out in a low voice with a few moments of pleasure, “I wouldn’t dare to think of it either.”
If Enrico were to be president, probably the walls inside the presidential palace wouldn’t have pictures of all the presidents, they’d be full of pictures of Paige.
Carrie couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she heard his tone seem to loosen up, and sat up in bed, “You told me to ignore what they say, and you do.”
“The better off you are, the more regretful, jealous and angry they get.”
Especially that Althena, pissed off she’d better be.
What’s the point of talking about aristocratic manners and grooming when you’re counting on a stepson like that.
Carrie said, suddenly she saw the dark shadow on the recliner leap up, and in the next second, she was pushed down on the bed, Rafael leaned down and propped himself on her sides, a pair of deep eyes staring fixedly at her.
Looking at Rafael like this made Carrie’s heart skip a beat.
His scent was all around her, looming down so strongly that she just felt her nerves tense up, her fingers twisting the sheet underneath her, “What’s wrong?”
Rafael lowered his head, leaning in closer to her, his eyes locked on hers, the corners of his lips curved in a curve, “Nothing, so I can hear you better.”
Carrie instantly didn’t know what to say, her head went blank as she stared into his eyes.
“Go on.” Rafael said staring at her.
Say what?
Carrie’s thoughts were a little jumbled and she laid straight back down on the bed, her voice lowered, “I’m sorry you didn’t have to make this trip, it’s hard for you.”
“And how are you going to repay me?”
Rafael smiled, his lips tracing the corner of her mouth seemingly unintentionally, the knot in his throat rolling up and down, his voice husky, “The answer to the last one, think about it?”
How could she think in this position, she was finding it hard to even breathe now.
Carrie practically wanted to call Paige for help, she clutched the sheet tightly, “I don’t have the heart to think about that right now, I’ll answer you after I get Nick out of there.”
At that, the smile at the corner of Rafael’s mouth, all of a sudden, disappeared, “The reason you can’t answer is because of him?”
“Uh-huh.” Her heart was in turmoil.
“Are you a fake couple, or a real one?”
Rafael’s voice went cold, why did she suddenly give him this when he decided they were a fake couple.
The man’s magnetic and low voice, falling on her ears word by word, was an experience Carrie had never had even in a relationship scene, she was a bit at a loss for words, she didn’t know where to swing from her hands to her feet?
The feeling of oppression was too heavy.
She tried to take a deep breath to adjust and was afraid of being noticed.
Her face burned up a little, “I’m hungry.”
The answer was not a question.
Rafael’s face became quite hard in the darkness.
“I see it’s getting late, let’s get something to eat and get moving, shall we?” She added.
“…”
It was that urgent.
Rafael sulked and got up off of her, slapping hard at the switch, and the room was suddenly bright.
The light pierced straight into Carrie’s eyes and she subconsciously raised a hand to shield them.
Rafael looked down at her and saw her otherwise pale face tinted with a suspicious reddish hue, suddenly understanding something, his face softened and he turned off the lights again, “It’s better not to turn on the lights, let them think we’ve gone to bed without causing unnecessary trouble. You lie down, I’ll go downstairs and rummage around for you, is there anything to eat?”
Carrie dropped her hands and sat up, saying, “Don’t bother looking for my share, I brought food.”
“Brought food?”
Rafael wondered, I think she just brought a designer bag?
“Uh-huh.” Carrie reached for her bag.
Rafael leaned over, took out his cell phone, and looked through the faint light of the screen to see that her bag held a small ID packet, a lipstick, and … two bags of instant noodles.
It was also amazing that such a small bag could hold two bags of instant noodles.
Rafael’s said with some surprise, “This bag is a limited edition model as I recall.”
In order to get this bag, he even personally went out to buy it.
“Yes, you bought it, I have taken care of it.”
Carrie lifted her face to look at him, being the president’s wife, naturally she can’t use the usual ones to dress up anymore, she when wearing fancy clothes and carrying designer bags, it’s also part of her job, she won’t damage the company’s items.
“… I bought it for you, it’s yours.”
Rafael said as he sat down beside her, “But why did you put two packs of instant noodles in it?”
How much did this instant noodles cost and how much did this packet cost that it deserved to stay in here?
Carrie took the instant noodles out and said, “Cynthia had to slip them to me before we came back, saying that when I entered the mansion, I’m sure I wouldn’t be able to eat much, so it’s good to have them.”
I didn’t expect it to come in handy.
Tonight’s dinner had left her with a bit of a bad appetite.
“Don’t eat this, it has little nutritional value and too much seasoning, I’ll go find you something to eat.”
Rafael tried to stop her.
Carrie was quick to say no, “Just go find something you like to eat.”
She had seen the pretentiousness of Rafael’s food, preoccupied with high-end ingredients, original flavors, and pure channels, eating a chicken was all about the chicken’s origin, its character, and whether or not its feathers and wings were shiny? Chocolate can’t even have a little sweetness …
By the time he found satisfactory food, she would be starving.
“There’s no place to cook for you here, either.”
Rafael frowned, what was so good about instant noodles.
