Chapter 344
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Carlos and Debbie sat at one side of the table, while Megan and Tabitha sat opposite. They clinked
glasses and began to eat.
The atmosphere was quite good at the very beginning. Debbie raved about the dishes, praising what a
terrific cook Tabitha was.
The dinner had a pleasant start, but it wasnât Long before Megan began to fawn over Carlos.
âUncle Carlos, this is popcorn chicken. I helped
Tabitha cook it. Give it a try, please.â
âMmm,â Carlos said, unwilling to say more with a mouthful of food. The look on his face and the sounds
of chewing were enough to gauge how he felt.
âUncle Carlos, taste the soup. I helped Tabitha flavor it. Does it taste good?â Megan put a bowl of soup
on the table, setting it down in front of Carlos.
She acted as if she were the hostess, and anyone who didnât know better might believe that Megan
was Carlosâ wife
His face deadpan, Carlos answered âMmmâ again. He was a man of few words, yet those few words
usually said enough
Still, Megan continued to pile food onto his plate, and soon his place was inundated with all sorts of
tasty dishes
Debbie, on the other hand, grew angry when she saw this. As any woman would be. Tabitha kept
putting food onto Debbieâs plate, ignoring the galâs rage. Debbie had to take a deep breath to suppress
her anger, so she wouldnât snap at the wrong person
She lowered her head and ate her food quietly. Suddenly, a piece of fish was put onto her plate and the
man finally spoke, his mouth finally forming words that were not just sounds.
âI boned the fish.â
Debbie paused for a moment. If Tabitha were not here, she would mock him, âSo you finally remember
your own wife, huh?â
She put on a fake smile and said icily, âThank you.â
Before long, he put a piece of raw lobster onto her plate.
âI remember you Like seafood. Mom made a couple of dishes just for you. Hereâ¦â
Tabitha smiled at Debbie, âThis lobster was flown in from Australia earlier today. It was very fresh, so I
just sliced it. Youâll love it.
âI really appreciate it, Mom!â Debbie gave Tabitha a sweet smile, and ate the lobster. She always loved
lobster, ever since she was a Little girl. Even when she was too young to properly shell it, her dad had
always made sure to give her some. It was a nearly lifelong love affair with the dish. Carlos now paid all
his attention to his wife. When
Debbie was about to pick up a piece of Lobster again, he was one step ahead of her and picked it up
himself.
Debbie stared at Carlos in confusion. He dipped the lobster into the sauce before putting it onto
Debbieâs plate. Then he picked up another piece of Lobster with shell and began to shell it.
Debbieâs jaw dropped. She approached Carlos and whispered in his ear,
âPut it down. Mom and Megan havenât touched the lobster yet.â
He answered with a shrug, âTheyâre not fond of lobster.â
âDonât worry about us, Debbie. Iâm allergic to it, and Megan hates seafood.â But that didnât echo her
thoughts. What Tabitha was really thinking was, âMy ungrateful son forgot his mother after he got
married.
