Chapter 19 The Same Face (2/2)
”Sorry, I didn't mean it.”
Seeing tha
t Celia's face didn't look good, Zoe didn't ask any more.
Carlos didn't open his mouth. He just listened. He thought his aunt was too anxious.
”What do you want for lunch?” His words broke the sadness in the air.
”Auntie, it has been a long time since I tasted your cooking last time.”
”Every time you come here, you ask me to cook for you with the same words? Okay, then please help yourself, Mr. Gu. ”
”Okay.”
After they said that, Carlos stood up and pushed Zoe towards the kitchen.
”Hurry up, auntie. We are going to be hungry. Is it because you haven't cooked for so long that your cooking skills are worse? ”
Zoe reproached Carlos, smiling. ”Don't be garrulous.”
She turned around to give another look at Celia and then went to the kitchen.
”If you feel bored, you can walk around. But don't go far. I will go inside to help and come out soon.”
Carlos told Celia.
”Okay, I know.” Celia nodded.
Kitchen.
Zoe had told Celia that she would cook for Celia. Since she had met Celia, she had no intention to cook for Celia anymore. Even if Carlos had mentioned Celia to her before, she didn't expect that things would develop like this.
Not only the appearance, but also the figure and the eyes, they seemed to be carved out from the same appearance.
But she knew that she couldn't ask Carlos about it no matter if it was his niece or not.
He was under too much pressure, so she couldn't put too much pressure on him.
Carlos said softly as he helped her pick the vegetables.
”I know what you want to ask and what you want to say.”
In a daze, Zoe looked at the man who was carefully dealing with vegetables. He didn't stop his action. After two seconds of silence, he suddenly opened his mouth.
She heard him.
”Auntie, I think she is Sally.”
He said firmly.
Seeing this, Zoe wanted to say something but held back.
This child was too stubborn. She'd better not say anything.
After lunch, Celia turned around with Zoe.
She had thought that they would leave this afternoon. She didn't expect that they haven't leave until Carlos' uncle came back for dinner. Even after dinner, Carlos didn't take her leave.
Besides, the atmosphere at dinner was strange as well. Carlos' uncle asked in confusion while he was smoking.
Then she would know that she would spend the night here.
What?
For some reason, the words ”wedding night” came to Celia's mind.
Ah, what was she thinking about!
Celia's face turned red. She was ashamed of her impure thoughts just now.
But to her relief, she had an excuse to go upstairs, because Carlos had been playing chess with her uncle.
Carlos didn't say anything. He knew what she was thinking.
In the bathroom.
Celia had just taken off her dress when the door, which had been locked by her inside, was opened from the outside unexpectedly!
How could it be?
In a panic, she grabbed the towel and wanted to wrap herself, but it was too late.
The man's figure came into view.
Seeing that Carlos approached her step by step, she was so shocked that she kept stepping back.
”What... What are you doing?”
Her voice trembled. Before she could finish, the man scolded her slightly.
He frowned slightly. ”It's only been a while, but you still make me worry about you. Do you forget that you have wounds on your feet? What if you fall down again? ”
Celia exclaimed when she saw the key in Carlos' hand. It was indeed someone else's house.
”You, you go out first!”
