Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 24

Chapter 24 The Jerk and Minx Got Together

Edmond had driven away initially.

However, the storm knocked down a few large trees along the neighborhood and blocked the road, so he had no choice but to return to the apartment. Edmond waited for a long time, yet the man had not exited the building after so long.

He saw that the light in Alicia's room was off from the window, and he could no longer hold back his curiosity.

Edmond got off the car and headed upstairs.

No other men's shoes were in the entryway when he entered the apartment.

A hint of relief passed through Edmond's heart.

But then he heard some commotion from the bedroom, and his heart sank again.

Why should he ask for it when he knew there might be evidence of cheating in there?

With a sullen expression, Edmond was about to turn around and leave when he suddenly heard a loud thud in the room, followed by Alicia wailing in pain.

"Ouch..." A groaning sound rang out.

Edmond immediately pushed open the door and entered the room.

He immediately saw Alicia curled up on the floor. Her face was pale, and she was whimpering.

His eyes narrowed, and he quickly went forward to pick Alicia off the ground, only to realize that her body was scorching hot.

"Are you having a fever?" Edmond asked.

Alicia was disoriented from the pain and burst into tears in his arms.

"The gastric pain is killing me..." Alicia murmured in pain.

Edmond at first planned to send Alicia to the hospital, but he suddenly recalled that the road was blocked.

He had no choice but to place her on the bed before rushing to the kitchen to check if he could get her any food.

He found the porridge in the thermos on the table was still warm.

Edmond carried the bowl of porridge back to the bedroom and carefully helped Alicia to sit up.

"It's hurt..." Alicia whimpered.

"Have some porridge." Edmond served it to her.

"Sob..." Alicia whined.

"Come on, be a good girl." Edmond coaxed.

Alicia was in pain until she almost lost consciousness.

Her stomach was aching, and her head was throbbing from the fever. Alicia was so dizzy that she could hardly open her eyes, and all she could do was whimper in pain.

In her dizziness, she felt someone holding her and feeding her porridge a sip at a time. Plus, a warm palm was rubbing her stomach slowly.

The embrace was very cozy.

Alicia nuzzled comfortably against it.

Then she heard the low reprimanding voice from Edmond.
