Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20 It’s so Melodramatic 

Alicia curled up her lips speechlessly. "No, I'm going to sleep with my mom tonight." 

After that, she rushed into the bathroom, took a shower, quickly grabbed the quilt and pillow, and went out. 

Edmond didn't stop her. 

However, when he came out of the shower, he saw Alicia sitting on the bed awkwardly, with a strange look in her eyes. 

"Mom was woken up and made me return." 

Edmond chuckled, "Why don't you sleep in the living room?" 

"You are the one who should sleep in the living room." 

"I am a guest." 

"You are her son-in-law, a family member." 

Edmond heard this, decisively got into the quilt, and lay down. He said elatedly. "Since we are a family, there is no problem sleeping in the same bed." 

Alicia felt trapped and gritted her teeth in anger. 

"You jerk trap me again!" 

Edmond didn’t care. 

Not long after they lay down, Edmond’s phone rang. 

Edmond picked it up, and Alicia vaguely heard the anxious tone on the other end. 

In the dark, she couldn't see Edmond's expression, only hearing his deep answer. 

"Okay, I see." 

Hanging up the phone, Edmond went out of bed and began to change his clothes into a shirt. 

Alicia stared at his hurried figure for a long time and couldn't help asking, "Is it Diane?" 

Her voice was light with some hesitation and uncertainty. 

Alicia regretted it immediately and secretly scolded herself, “Alicia, you idiot. How can you ask so like a jealous woman?” 

Edmond paused for a moment. 

Then he tilted his head slightly and answered calmly. 

"It was raining heavily in the suburbs. A big tree was knocked down by lightning and hit a passing car. The head of the injured was pierced by the glass and needed urgent surgery." 

Alicia was silent for a few seconds and said, "Then go quickly." 

Edmond nodded, changed his clothes, grabbed the car keys, and went out. 

Alicia looked at the closed door in amazement, feeling a little subtle, and suddenly she laughed and whispered to herself. "It's so melodramatic."
