Chapter 345
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Look, how considerate he is. He boned the fish and shelled the lobster for his wife, but he didnât dish up
anything for me.â Despite her thoughts Tabitha was glad that Carlos and Debbie loved each other.
âAllergic? Are you okay now? You sliced the lobster.â Worry was obvious in Debbieâs eyes.
Tabitha shook her head.
âDonât worry. As long as I donât eat it, Iâm good.â
âEr⦠Mom, have some of this.â Debbie placed the almond curd in syrup in front of Tabitha.
âThank you, Debbie.â Tabitha scooped it onto her plate.
âHow about you? Are you allergic to seafood? Or just donât Like it?â
Debbie asked Carlos.
He shook his head.
âCome on! Canât he say something? Heâs acting like a mime!â Debbie rolled her eyes secretly. âThey
say silence is golden, but this is ridiculous! â
Megan was the first one to finish. Then Tabitha, and finally, Carlos.
He had eaten slowly on purpose, because he knew Debbie had a good appetite and she would feel
embarrassed if she was left eating alone.
Besides, he liked to take his time, and not much would make him rush.
Even if the house were on fire, he might simply walk out of the door, calmly and elegantly.
Debbie was still eating, while Tabitha and Megan ate some fruit as a dessert and chatted with each
other.
Debbie felt a little embarrassed. âThis is the first meal that Iâve had with my mother-in-law. Will she freak
when she sees me eating so much?â
Carlos noticed that Debbie was distracted. He put a piece of bamboo shoot onto her plate and said,
âHere, have some more!â It was his quiet way of telling her to focus on her meal.
Debbie came back to her senses.
Megan was amazed by Debbieâs good appetite and exclaimed, âAunt Debbie, youâve eaten so much!
How do you even keep that wonderful figure? I really admire you.â
Debbie couldnât tell whether she was praising her or mocking her. She gave Megan a smile and
continued eating.
As a thoughtful woman, Tabitha chimed in, âDebbie, a good appetite is a blessing. Take your time.â
Debbie was almost moved to tears. How Lucky she was to have such a good husband and a caring
mother-in-law! âI will, Mom.â
After the dinner, Carlos asked the housemaid to make a fruit platter for Debbie. Looking at more than a
dozen fruits on the platter, Debbie gulped them all down. She loved fruit, and after taking so much time
to eat, there was some room left in her stomach.
Megan stayed at the villa until 9 in the evening. As a result, Tabitha invited her to stay overnight.
Debbie shrugged. âWhatever! Carlos will be sleeping with me. Megan wonât have a chance.â
