Chapter 1393

The color complimented her fair skin and the vintage style made her look elegant. Carlos was smug.

He had such good taste.

As he stared at her with passion in his eyes, he began to fantasize. He knew what Lay beneath that

dress, and he wanted to see it. God knew how much he wanted to take that dress off her and make

love to her.

After some wild fantasies, he swallowed hard and composed himself. He dismissed the maids. Then he

walked up to Debbie. When she Looked at him confusedly, he suddenly knelt on one knee and helped

her put on the shoes.

Debbie stared affectionately at the man helping her with her high heels. She was so moved. Ever since

he regained his memory, he treated her so well, even better than when they were first together. She

told herself to keep him at arm’s Length, but each time he treated her Like this, she couldn’t be mean to

him. She didn’t know what to do.

After helping Debbie with her high heels, Carlos opened the jewelry box on the desk and helped her

put each piece on one by one, despite her reluctance.

At last, he took out a ring. He held it up to her, displaying the huge heart-shaped diamond, a 3.5Qct

princess cut.

“And now, the piece de resistance,” he announced. He was about to put it on her ring finger, but Debbie

protested silently with her index finger pointing forward.

Her meaning was obvious.

Carlos flashed a thin smile. He obeyed her this time and put the diamond ring on her index finger

instead.

After that, she tried to draw her hand back, but he grabbed hold of it again. Staring into her eyes, he

declared imperiously, “I’m just going to take your protests in stride. It’s normal to fight every once in a

while. But no matter what, you’ll be my wife. I’m not budging on this one!”

Debbie looked back at him sullenly. In her mind, she thought, ‘Do you have to be so possessive?’

Carlos carried Debbie in his arms as they descended the staircase. Her dress was floor-length, and he

didn’t want her to trip on it. A fall down the stairs could be lethal.

Miranda was on the phone in the living room. Seeing them come downstairs, she smiled at Debbie and

nodded her head. She mouthed to her, “You look great.”

Debbie felt shy at her praise. Blushing, she returned, “Thanks.”

A loving smile hit Carlos’ Lips when he saw her blushing face. Then, holding her hand, he led her

towards the door.

The moment they set foot in the venue, every guest’s eyes were fixed on them. Seeing the legendary

couple walking side by side with their fingers entwined, a lot of people couldn’t help complimenting and

blessing them. They looked every inch the aristocratic couple.

Carlos was in a good mood, of course. Everyone was sure about that because they were surprised to

get a rare smile or nod from the usually cold CEO.

Barlow was a big shot in business circles. A bevvy of distinguished guests and celebrities were invited

to his grand birthday party. Debbie and Carlos walked up to him and greeted him. As Carlos and

Barlow exchanged some pleasantries, Debbie took a gift from Frankie’s hands and handed it to the old

man. It was an authentic Chinese painting.

Barlow accepted the gift happily. When his assistant helped him unrolL the painting on the spot, the

guests just had to get a look. Many of them were astonished at the magnificent piece.

It was a traditional painting with some symbolic elements that meant longevity, such as deer, cranes,

pine trees, cypress. A few Chinese characters were beautifully written in the margin, blessing Barlow

and wishing him a long and happy life. More importantly, the signature was none other than the famous

painter and calligrapher. An artist was still living, and this was his magnum opus. The price for his

services was at least a million per square meter. This one was about five square meters, so it should

be worth about five million.

The guests were so impressed by how generous Carlos was.

The one-hundred-year-old man grinned from ear to ear. He Looked very impish then. In an instant, he

instructed his son to take it home and hang it on the wall of his bedroom. He wanted to be able to

appreciate it every day.

After excusing themselves, Carlos held Debbie’s hand and walked away.

They went to greet Curtis and Colleen.

The two couples chatted casually for a while. Colleen suddenly pointed to a corner and signaled to

Debbie with her eyes. Debbie looked towards the corner and saw Stephanie there.
