Marriage Games with a Charming CEO novel Chapter 19

Chapter 19 I Promise to Treat Alicia Well

Edmond carried Melissa to the bed and made her sit down, and then he squatted down to give her a checkup.

Melissa was embarrassed.

"How can I bother you? I can go myself."

"Mom, freeze. Your ankle might be sprained. Let me check it."

"Hey, I'm fine, Ed. No need to worry."

Edmond ignored it. Instead, he lowered his head, grabbed Melissa's ankle, and twisted it a few times slightly, checking it in a serious manner.

His flippancy totally disappeared and was replaced by a serious attitude with a straight face.

Alicia stood by and watched the scene, while her mind wander.

It hadn't been seen Edmond's seriousness for a long time.

In a trance, Alicia vaguely recalled the days in the freshman camp. At that time, everyone said that Edmond was the most handsome one in the school.

And Alicia was dragged to the library by her roommate every day to follow Edmond.

They sat in the corner diagonally opposite Edmond each time.

Alicia was deeply impressed by Edmond's star-pupil image of studying hard.

However, later Alicia found that Edmond was a bad guy and his super-scholar image collapsed, so she had no feelings for him.

Melissa was not surprised. After all, Edmond, as her attending doctor, also treated patients carefully at ordinary times.

It was just because Alicia had no chance to see it.

Edmond was relieved when he finished his inspection.

Edmond raised his head and glanced at Alicia, who looked a little complicated and stood by, and said calmly, "Go get some warm water and give Melissa a foot bath, which could relieve gout."

Alicia nodded well-behavedly and followed his words.

When Alicia came to get water, Melissa took a bankbook to Edmond with a smile and whispered.

"I intended to give Licia some dowries before she married you, but she refused. Let me give you the money now. Please take good care of Licia and ensure her well-being with the money..."

Melissa knew that Alicia could be persuaded by reason but not be cowed by force, so she never preached to Alicia.

But if anyone was unkind to Alicia, she would give a gift to that one and make a sincere plea.

Now, Melissa sent Edmond a bankbook for the same reason, hoping that Alicia would be loved more in the Agos family.

Alicia almost burst into tears and wanted to say something, but Edmond responded to Melissa.

"Melissa, don't worry, I will treat Licia well."

Finally, Edmond urged Melissa to soak her feet, and Alicia helped her to change her pajamas. Edmond and Alicia didn't return to the guest room together until Melissa slept.

Alicia now had less hostility towards Edmond.

Alicia said slightly.

"Thank you for being kind to my mother."

Edmond stared at her for a few seconds and made a smile. He pointed to the direction of the bathroom and asked her, "Together with me?"
