Chapter 347

Hayden that she had agreed to marry Carlos in a fit of pique. Their marriage certificate had been

issued on her birthday that year.

The reason why Carlos had agreed to marry Debbie was that he respected his grandfather’s advice.

From Carlos’ childhood, Douglas had dedicated his time and money to his grandson’s education.

When weak, frail and advanced in age Douglas sat Carlos down and recommended Debbie for a wife,

it made sense.

At that time, Carlos was a workaholic with virtually no time for anything else.

Shortly after, Douglas had been hospitalized, in a coma, before he could let anyone in on his

grandson’s marriage. It didn’t help that

Carlos was overextended in time. So much that he hurtled from meeting to meeting, place to place, the

world over for business. Until gradually, he had completely forgotten about his wife.

Debbie didn’t know the story behind this. She and Carlos had been married for three years, yet had

barely known each other until several months ago.

“Your grandpa is still in a coma. When your dad gets to know this, I’m pretty sure he’ll throw a tantrum,”

said Tabitha in a worried voice.

That was a real source of concern for her. If there was one thing that

Tabitha didn’t Like in James, it was his quick temper. Over the years, she had learnt to wisely avoid

unnecessary strife with her husband. But it wasn’t lost on her that if triggered, he could be

unreasonable.

And there was no way to tell how he’d receive his son’s marriage to

Debbie.

Sensing that his mom was worried, Carlos stood up from his seat, walked up to Tabitha and assured in

a calm tone, “Mom, just leave it to me.

There’s no need to fret.”

He didn’t want her to be blamed for the decision. If anything, his grandpa’s word was enough. The only

problem was that chances of Douglas ever making it safely at the hospital were infinitesimal.

Eventually, Tabitha agreed to stay her calm, and hoped that James would be rational enough not to

throw a hissy fit when Carlos finally got to introduce Debbie as his wife.

“Well, then, when are you going to take Debbie to see the rest of our family?” Tabitha asked. A couple

of years back, the Hilton and Lopez families had all moved abroad, which meant Carlos would need

good planning of his otherwise busy schedule to take Debbie for introductions.

“I think it won’t take long. It’s time to visit Grandpa and Grandma,” answered Carlos. It had been three

months since he had last visited them. And the New Year was drawing near. Carlos planned to take

Debbie to see his family to celebrate the New Year together this year.

“ALL right. Carlos, don’t stay up Late. I just saw Debbie doing yoga in her bedroom. She must be

bored. Why not keep her company? I really hope you two can have a baby. I’d be glad to babysit my

own grandchild.”

Both the mother and the son beamed with delight at the mention of a baby.

The Hilton family usually had a rather impersonal, business-like atmosphere. Tabitha hoped that a baby

would make things Less uptight.

Carlos curled his lips and said, “Debbie and I hope so too.”

“Great. Oh, by the way, Megan…” Even though Carlos was an adult,

Tabitha didn’t think he was handling his relationship with Megan properly. Yes, she liked Megan very

much and treated her as her own daughter. But of course Debbie was Carlos’ wife.

“You see, Megan and you are not related by blood. Now that you have Debbie, you’ll need to set

boundaries in the way you relate to Megan. In all, your wife should be number one on your mind.”
