Deadly Doting Marriage Novel - Chapter 88
Chapter 88: Carlos Fell for the Trap
Joyce looked at him with a grin. “I knew you would come!”
Carlos glanced at her and said, “Joyce, as you know, I’m getting engaged. I won’t be able to celebrate your birthday with you anymore!”
Joyce pouted and said unhappily, “Do you have to say such depressing things now?”
“Today is my birthday. Can’t you say something happier?”
Carlos knocked on the table and said calmly, “This is the truth. You have to accept it!”
“I know that you’re going marry Kathleen. However, I’m still your sister no matter what. Why can’t you celebrate my birthday with me?”
Carlos said calmly, “I can, but this is the last time.”
He would only celebrate his wife’s birthday.
“Okay. This is the last time!”
Joyce revealed a brilliant smile. “But since this is the last time, you are not allowed to talk about anything else for the night. That is fine, right?”
Carlos looked at Joyce’s beautiful face. His cold gaze was somewhat profound.
To be honest, Jessica and Joyce looked very similar. They were beautiful women that people fell in love with at first sight.
However, their personalities were completely different other than the similarity in appearance.
Jessica had a gentle and generous personality.
On the other hand, Joyce was very playful and cute. She was like a spoiled child.
In the past, when Carlos had taken care of Joyce for the sake of Jessica. He had never thought that she would also have feelings for him.
Now that he was going to marry Kathleen, he naturally had to clear up these misunderstandings so that he would not cause any trouble like Cassie’s.
“I can promise you that I will celebrate your last birthday. However, remember your place in the future, understand?”
Joyce pouted and said, “I know, don’t remind me all the time!”
“I know you’re getting engaged. As long as you spend this birthday with me, I won’t pester you anymore, okay?”
Carlos nodded in satisfaction. “That’s more like it!”
Joyce raised her wine glass and said to Carlos, “Today is my birthday. Aren’t you going to wish me a happy birthday?”
Carlos smiled. He picked up his wine glass and smirked. “Of course. I wish you a happy birthday and a lifetime of happiness!”
Hearing this, Joyce’s black eyes revealed a hint of slyness.
Carlos wanted her to be happy for the rest of her life. Little did he know that the happiest thing in her life was to be loved by him.
Joyce looked at the red wine Carlos had drunk, and a smug smile appeared on her face.
She would soon be able to get this man!
She had preordered the dishes a long time ago. After drinking the wine, the waiter placed the dishes on the table one by one.
When Carlos thought about his upcoming engagement with Kathleen, a smile appeared on his face. Even his patients for Joyce had increased a lot.
The two of them chatted and laughed as they finished their dinner.
After the meal, Carlos was about to leave when Joyce suddenly pulled him back. “Carlos, you haven’t eaten my birthday cake yet!”
Carlos frowned. “I don’t like to eat such sweet food!”
Joyce said coquettishly, “Just eat a small piece. Eat It, please!”
Carlos was helpless and could only take a bite.
Carlos sized him up deeply, and his brows furrowed.
‘It was strange. Why hadn’t t the medicine taken effect yet? It should have taken effect by now!’ Carlos staggered and leaned back on the chair as she thought about this.
He pinched the space between his eyebrows and asked curiously, “What’s wrong? My head feels a little dizzy!”
His body felt as hot and restless as if he was on fire.
When Joyce saw this, her face lit up with joy. This was great. The effects of the medicine had finally taken effect.
She went forward and held onto Carlos. “Carlos, what’s wrong? If you want to leave, I’ll help you to the car!”
Carlos nodded and was helped to the car by Joyce.
Joyce closed the car door and looked at Carlos with a smile. “Brother-in-law, where are you going? I’ll send you off!”
“It’s okay. I can leave on my own!” Carlos shook his head forcefully. He felt even dizzier.
Joyce held his hand, and her soft hands aroused the desire in Carlos’s heart. For a moment, he wanted to violate her.
Carlos was shocked. He had not drunk much today. Even if he did, he could not be so dizzy.
Carlos’s body was like fire. He pointed at Joyce and said in disbelief, “You… you drugged me, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I drugged you!” Jessica chuckled. “How else could I get you?”
“You should know that I’ve liked you for a long time!”
Carlos’s face suddenly turned livid. He glared at Joyce and gnashed his teeth. “You’re crossing a line!”
“How could you think of such a dirty trick like drugging me? ! Are you still a child?”
“I’m already 20 years old. I’m already an adult. Do you know how much I have loved you all these years? I wish I could grow up quicker. What’s wrong with me wanting to have a boyfriend of my own?”
“But I’m not your boyfriend!” Carlos pushed Joyce away and growled, “You’re crossing the line!”
“This is why I want you even more!”
“I have loved you ever since you were dating my sister. However, I don’t remember you noticing me. You only have my sister in your eyes.”
“Finally, my sister is dead. She was not fated to be with you forever, but I do.”
“But you want to get engaged to Kathleen. How can I allow it? You’re mine! No one can take you away from me!”
‘As long as Carlos slept with her, she would be able to request for Carlos to marry her openly,’ Joyce thought.
Moreover, if Kathleen knew that Carlos was with her, she would definitely break off the engagement.
At that time, wouldn’t Carlos be hers instead?
“Since you like sister, why can’t you like me?”
“I’m from the same mother. Could it be that I’m worse than my sister?”
“Of course, you’re worse than your sister.” Carlos said sternly, “Your sister would never use such a despicable method to find a man!”
Carlos’s looked fiercely at Joyce, who was stunned for a moment, then she cried, “I like you. What’s wrong with me?
Carlos’s body was so hot that he did not know what to do. He endured it and prepared to drive off.
Joyce looked at him and immediately approached him. “Carlos, look at me. I’m not worse than my sister!”
She took off her shawl, revealing her round shoulders. “Do you feel bad? I’m willing to help you!”
Joyce hugged Carlos tightly. The moment her red lips came close, an unfamiliar scent entered his nostrils. Carlos had never felt this way before.
He pushed Joyce away, opened the car door, and pushed her out. “Get lost. I never want to see you again!”
