Chapter 335
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Meeting Tabithaâs eyes, Debbie fell into a daze.
âIs Tabitha telling me to calm Carlos down?â she wondered. As if aware of what she was thinking,
Tabitha nodded. Receiving the hint, Debbie took a deep breath and grabbed Carlosâ hand.
âHeâs naughty, but itâs not our place to discipline him. Isnât his mom on the way? Why donât we leave it
to her? Besides, if she sees her son thrown out of the villa and crying in the snow alone, she will feel
uncomfortable,â she told her husband.
Carlos was nonchalant.
âI donât give a damn how she will feel. If she sucks at parenting, then she doesnât have the right to
blame others for doing the job for her!â Uncomfortable? Mess with his wife again and he would hang
her son flogged on a tree.
See how she would feel then!
For a few minutes, Jake had been crying outside. But it was hard for
Debbie to leave the kid in the austere weather anymore. Ignoring
Carlosâ caveat, she opened the gate to the villa and walked over to the little boy, whose nose was red
from the biting cold.
Heaving a sigh, she squatted to whisper in the boyâs ear, âJake, IâUL take you inside, but you have to
promise me to stop crying, okay?â
To Debbieâs surprise, the imp pushed her hard without a word. Caught off guard, she slumped on the
cold, snowy ground.
âYou ungrateful, spoiled brat!â Debbie roared, boiling with rage as
Carlos stepped forward to help her to her feet. The grim look on his face as he helped her up was
enough to stop the boy crying.
When everyone thought that was it, Carlos released Debbie, clutched the boy and spanked him so
hard that his palm hurt.
The kid burst out crying again. This time he was so loud youâd fear he was going to have a seizure.
Scared out of wits, Megan dashed over and intervened by pulling Carlos aside. Standing between him
and the kid, she implored, âUncle Carlos,
Jakeâs mom is stuck in a traffic jam, but she should be here in about an hour. Can I get him out of here,
please?â
âNo, you canât!â Carlos growled coldly.
âIf you are worried about him, you can stay here and wait with him!â
Never had Carlos been so angry at Megan. Today, he had easily snapped at her time and again that
she wondered what was wrong with him.
Looking back, she recalled how just the other day he had also embarrassed her by standing her up at
the party. She had been taunted by so many people. At the mere thought of it, anger consumed her
eyes
But there was not much she could do, considering he held power over her. In disappointment, her
mouth opened and closed involuntarily, as if she was going to say something but words failed her
By now, the boy had cried so much that he was panting for breath. With a ferocious eye, Carlos looked
at him and demanded, âShut the hell up and apologize to my wife!â
A terrified Jake scampered for cover behind Megan, at his cold, menacing roar.
Irritated by the little bratâs impenitence once again, Carlos pulled him out and roared, âIâll say this one
more time. Apologize to my wife!â
