Chapter 338

Debbie Lowered her head and smiled at his stubbornness. When she Looked up again, her eyes were

full of affection.

“Jake is only five years old, dear. You have to get over it, or you may begin to sound petty. Do you think

that is good for a man of your reputation?” she asked tenderly.

With a serious expression on his face, Carlos said, “I don’t care what other people think of me. I won’t

stand anyone crossing you. Not even a 5-year-old boy. That’s my word.”

Messing with his wife meant messing with Carlos himself, and he would not Let anyone get away with

that so easily

It really touched Debbie, to have Carlos taking her side against Megan this time. That was quite out of

the blue. Feigning anger, she pouted her lips and said, “If you refuse to let it go, it will make me so

anxious I might even cry. Would you kick yourself for making me cry?”

Mulling over her words, Carlos lowered his head and saw the hint of emotion in her eyes. A frown

marred his face. But he misunderstood her mood. Actually she was teary-eyed because she was

touched by how protective he was of her. Sighing in defeat, Carlos didn’t get her drift.

“Okay, okay. I’LL Let you have your way, dear. Some concessions can’t be avoided between lovebirds,”

he said with a thoughtful look.

Then lowering his head closer to her ear, he whispered, “Don’t put on that sulking face, sweet pie, or I’ll

be tempted to carry you to our room for a full body massage.”

Before Debbie could react, Tabitha interrupted them with profound resignation.

“Son, I didn’t travel all the way to see you show off.

Give me time with my daughter-in-law too.”

Blushing, Debbie pushed Carlos away immediately and turned to Tabitha’s support.

“Mom is right. Carlos, stop being so possessive. You should let me enjoy her company for the little time

she’s here.”

Then she walked towards Tabitha calmly.

When she approached Tabitha, she held her arm, and pretending that nothing had happened, asked in

a sweet voice, “Mom, what were you discussing with Julie?”

No one knew how much courage it took for Debbie to hold Tabitha’s arm and call her “Mom”.

While still holding hands, Tabitha showed Debbie Julie’s notebook filled with recipes.

“We were discussing what we’re going to eat this evening. But I think it would be wise if we let you

choose. Tell me what your favorite meal is or anything special that you’d want for the night. I’ll gladly

prepare it for you,” Tabitha offered.

It humbled Debbie to have a mother-in-law who, despite all her money and position, was so

affectionate to prepare a meal for her

Sensing the surprised look on Debbie’s face, Tabitha asked, “Well, you don’t believe I can cook, do

you?”

Debbie nodded with embarrassment.

“You got me. I must be the dumbest person here. I don’t know how to cook…”

The only time Debbie attempted to cook a meal for Carlos, it was a disaster.

‘When dad asked me to learn how to cook, I should’ve listened to him.

Now I so wish I could cook for Carlos…‘ she rued.
