Chapter 343
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âYouâll stay overnight in the study!â
âYou want Mom to worry about us?â
âMom is a smart woman. Even if I donât tell her, sheâll know itâs all your fault,â Debbie joked with a
confident smile.
To support her, Carlos held her arm and slowly led the way to the dining room, where everything was
ready by now. Straightaway, he led her to the sink so that they could wash their hands. Just then,
Tabitha and Megan walked out of the kitchen together.
âDebbie, how do you find his English class? Is he easy to follow?â asked Tabitha in an honest tone.
But Debbieâs face blushed again. A Lot of things had taken place while they were in the study. She
answered with embarrassment, âYes, Mom, he is. Heâs a great teacher.â
âFrom a tender age, Carlos showed promise in languages. Even through college he maintained a
distinction in English,â explained Tabitha.
The stellar academic achievements of her son were something she greatly took pride in. There was no
denying, Carlosâ grasp of languages was exceptional. In particular, Debbie was impressed by his
English. As
Tabitha and Megan took their places at the table, Carlos, now at the sink, quietly listened with no
emotion on his face, as if he didnât know what they were talking about.
Not to be left out of the womenâs talk, Megan echoed, âUncle Carlos is not only good at English, heâs
also fluent in French, Russian
Japanese, Korean and German. Meanwhile, heâs also studying Spanish,
Arabicâ¦â Megan droned on, until she was interrupted by Debbie, who cut in, in praise of her husband.
âArenât you incredible, darling?!â
To which Carlos replied genially, âThanks for the compliment, Honey.â
âI guess I might never catch up with you in that area,â Debbie grumbled, pouting her Lips. At one time,
she had imagined getting ahead of him. Apparently, she had underestimated just how versatile Carlos
was.
Language ability was only one of his many exceptional skills. Would she ever come close to his other
areas of strength?
âYou can give it a try. Maybe youâll succeed,â he teased with an arched eyebrow.
âGive it a try? Then Iâll have to bury myself in those foreign languages every day? No, no, no!â She
shook her head immediately.
âOld man, Iâve made up my mind that Iâll be a housewife. You support the family, and all I have to do is
take care of you. What do you think of it?â
The running water washed away the liquid soap on Carlosâ hands. He pinched her cheek with his wet
hand and answered, âYouâre the boss.â
Debbie elbowed him gently and pouting her lips, complained, âMind your hand, old man! In order to
make a good impression on your mom, I put on some makeup this morning. See, I used primer and BB
cream. Better be careful where you touch me, or my makeup will run.â
Although her cosmetics were water-proof, she was still worried that her makeup might run.
It occurred to Carlos she might be honest about her makeup.
Earlier on, while he was engrossed on the phone, he had seen Debbie doing something before the
dressing table. It must have been makeup she was putting on.
At long last, when they went to the dining table, Tabitha and Megan were already waiting for them.
There were ten main courses and two soups on the table. The housemaids had already poured a glass
of wine for everyone. The wine was one of Carlosâ best collections.
