Marriage Games with a Charming CEO

Chapter 48 He Thought It Was Love

Chapter 48 He Thought It Was Love

When Edmond and Alicia came out of the bathroom, both of them were already showered and dressed. The serious expressions on their faces could not tell what had just happened in the bathroom.

Edmond still looked playful.

What Alicia found hard to believe was that Edmond had just spoken in the bathroom with the humble tone of a helpless child.

"Can I tear up that agreement?"

"I can let bygones be bygones. I'll pretend it never happened."

"Licia, could you like me a little bit?"

Alicia wondered why Edmond was pursuing what had happened before.

Before they left the house, Alicia and Edmond tidied up the house anyway.

One cleaned the living room while the other cleaned the kitchen.

As Alicia cleaned, she mentally cursed Edmond for being a jerk.

Suddenly, she remembered something. Then she looked up and asked in a confirming tone, "Which agreement were you talking about?"

Edmond looked calm.

"The agreement you signed with my father."

Alicia's expression stiffened.

"How do you know that?"

Edmond didn't g Melissa up. Instead, he asked, "If that agreement didn't exist, would you still marry me?"

"No."

Although Edmond already knew the answer, his face sank.

When Edmond had learnt from Peter two years ago that he was going to arrange for Alicia to marry him, he had held a glimmer of expectation in his heart.

At the time, he'd thought it was love. It was Alicia who was too embarrassed to admit that she liked him. Therefore, he had been waiting for Alicia.

Given Melissa's condition, Alicia commuted between the hospital and the office every day, but she deliberately avoided Edmond.

Edmond was confused.

One day, Edmond suddenly heard from his colleagues that a nurse deliberately asked her male best friend to act like a couple in order to be with her love interest. Therefore, her love interest became very jealous. Then, he immediately went out with that nurse and married her the next month.

"Whenever your love interest gets jealous, it means he likes you. It's real!"

Edmond found that the nurses' analysis was very reasonable.

After that, Edmond spent money hiring some extras. He deliberately chose the time when Alicia came to the hospital to play a scene with the extras.

However, the scene he envisioned didn't go as planned.

Not only was Alicia not getting jealous, but she brought a man with her when she came to visit Melissa in the hospital the next day.

As a result, Edmond became jealous.

"Who is that man?"

"It's none of your business!"

Alicia didn't even bother to look at Edmond.

After that, the man followed Alicia to the hospital for three days in a row.

Edmond was furious.

Then one day he heard Alicia was celebrating her birthday with Grace at the pub. Without even thinking about it, he took the night off work to go to the bar and found some women to put on a show for Alicia.

Edmond wanted to stimulate Alicia and take revenge on her.

"Alicia, that man looks like Edmond! Gee! I didn't realize he was such a player. He's got a beautiful woman on both sides. He looks like someone who comes to the pub every day to hook up with women!"

Alicia followed Grace's sight to see Edmond in the corner playing dice and drinking with other women.

She was not upset. Then, she turned to the dance floor, hit on two men, and returned to her seat with those men.

Edmond thought Alicia was more or less in love with him.

He thought it was love.

So Edmond wanted to break the ice between them. However, the moment he approached Alicia, he saw her put on a bright and flirty smile. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

"Hey, Ed, you have poor taste. All the women you hook up with are flat-chested. That's not the case with me. The men I hook up with are all male models with strong muscles. Their muscles feel great."

At that moment, Edmond's head exploded. He went mad inside, but he put an indifferent smile on his face.

"I just don't like women with big boobs like you."

"That's right. I don't like lanky guys like you either."

Then, every time the two of them met, they would bring a plus one with them and fight with each other.

They kept a bad relationship until the night they applied for a marriage license.

Edmond stood outside the kitchen and watched as Kalinda slipped drugs into his and Alicia's soup. As he ate, he saw Alicia drink the soup out of the corner of his eye. Then he drank the soup himself.

Edmond clearly saw the blood on the sheets that night.

So, once again, he thought it was love.

Edmond was a little worried about Alicia, and he put his arms around her and said, "I'm sorry."

However, Alicia gritted her teeth and said, "You suck. All the men I've been with before are better than you."

Edmond was so angry that he leaned over and continued to torment Alicia.

He didn't get out of bed until he received Diane's phone call and answered it, and out of the corner of his eye, he saw Alicia wiping tears from her eyes.

He knew he couldn't stay any longer because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to stop his body from reacting and wanting to torment Alicia. Then, he fought back the pain, changed clothes, left the house, and went to a hotel.

Edmond thought many times that he and Alicia were in love.

So no matter how proud Edmond was, he was willing to be the first to back down.

However, the agreement proved him wrong.
