The next day. Alyssa was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.
In order to comply with the settings of the modernity, when everyone around her uses smart phones with beautiful appearance and full functions, she still uses the kind of dumb phone that can only call and send messages.
Taking the phone, looking at the remarks on it, her mind suddenly became sober.
She hesitated for a while before answering the phone: “Dad.”
Colin Hunt’s voice has always been serious: “You went home yesterday? Who sent you back?”
As a father calling a newly married daughter, and asking such irrelevant questions, Alyssa only felt chilly. On weekdays, Colin rarely called her. He called her suddenly to ask about this, and could not help making Alyssa doubt his intentions.
But she still told the truth: “It’s Karl’s cousin.”
Colin pondered over there for a while, and then said, “If you have time, take your sister to Hunt’s house. If there is a suitable young man, please introduce him to her and let her make more friends.”
Alyssa understood the meaning of his words.
After she left the Hunt’s villa yesterday: “Luther” and Isabel may have met. Isabel is very likely to see “Luther”, so she wants her to match them.
The wishful thinking of the father and daughter is really good. Karl clearly made a marriage contract with Isabel, but in the end she married Karl. Then, they would use her as a springboard to find another good man for Isabel as her husband in Adams house.
In the entire Rostenvel market, no one knows that, except for Karl, all of his cousins and relatives are among the best and outstanding. A trace of self-deprecating appeared in Alyssa’s eyes. Isabel is Colin’s biological daughter, isn’t she?
How can he be eccentric to this point?
Alyssa endured the grievances and tried to keep her voice calm: “You want me take sister to Hunt’s house, but I haven’t seen Karl until now.”
When Colin heard it, she didn’t even see Karl’s face, and suddenly became angry.
“You haven’t even seen your husband. You’re useless. You still have the face to come home!”
Alyssa’s nose sore, she abruptly held back tears, her voice was as usual: “You send sister to Hunt’s house, maybe Karl would like to see her? I’m a fake, why should he meet? Me?”
Karl who came out of the bathroom just heard her words.
She was sitting on the bed, with her thick black hair like seaweed hanging down to her waist, and her fingers with the mobile phone could see the raised blue blood vessels because of too much force. Tears filled her eyes like autumn water, but stubbornly did not flow out. The slender figure looked pitiful.
Karl squinted his black eyes and found that the new wife really looked more pleasing to the eye.
Not knowing what the person on the other end of the phone said, Alyssa’s face turned pale, neither spoke nor hung up. Karl walked over, grabbed the mobile phone in her hand, and hung up.
Oh, this woman still uses this kind of phone.
Then, he looked down at Alyssa, unable to hear emotion in his indifferent voice: “If you don’t want to listen, just don’t listen.”
Alyssa raised her head hurriedly, with tears still in her eyes, she felt that her eyes were blurred, and she couldn’t see his face at all. But strangely, she heard a touch of comfort in his words.
But the next moment, her eyes widened sharply: “Why am I in bed?”
She gave up the bed to the injured man. She slept on the sofa the night!
“You climbed up on your own sleepwalking.” After Karl said expressionlessly, he walked to the bed and lay down beside her.
