Chapter 499
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
I feel for Debbie because she has such a wonderful husband. Right, Debbie? The man of your
dreams.â
It didnât make sense. Carlos knew it. If Emmett really thought he was a good husband, he wouldnât
have used the expression âfeel for her.â âI hear that your family is trying to arrange blind dates for you.
IâtL call Marc Debenham.â
Hearing this, Emmett became fretful.
âHey, itâs almost New Year. Do you have to be so cruel?â
Hmm? Debbie looked back and forth between the two. âWhy call Prof.
Marc?â âWhich Prof. Marc?â Debbie couldnât help asking.
Carlos pulled her into his arms and ignored Emmett.
âProf. Marc,â he answered while they walked towards the VIP passage.
Then Debbie learned that Carlos was Marcâs student too, which came as a surprise. And Emmett
turned out to be Prof. Marcâs stepson.
When Emmett was 13, his mom remarried Marc. And Emmett had lived with his mom in the professorâs
house afterwards.
As Emmettâs stepfather, Marc didnât spoil the boy. On the contrary, being an educator, he was strict with
him, especially about his education, which turned the rebellious adolescent against him. Emmett vowed
that he would never call Marc âFather,â nor would he ever use
Marcâs family name. To this day, Emmett kept his family name Cooper.
Therefore, despite being father and son, Emmett and Marc had different family names. That was why
the connection between them had never occurred to Debbie.
But as Emmett grew up, he realized that Marc cared about him a lot.
When it came to Emmettâs marriage, he was even more concerned than
Emmettâs mom.
He had sent Emmett on more than thirty blind dates within a couple of months. If Emmett hadnât been
so busy, Marc would have made it three blind dates a day for him.
When they walked out of the VIP passage for first-class passengers,
Carlos took out his phone and called Marc just as he had said.
âProf,
Emmett has been so idle lately he has even started to sabotage my relationship with my wife. If you run
out of candidates for his blind dates, I can have Tristan send you the name list of all the socialite divas
and rich girls in Alorith. Youâre welcome, Professor. Yes, my wife is with me right now. Weâre flying to
New York. Weâll visit you after the New Year. Please send my regards for your wife and wish her a
âHappy New Year!â for me. Weâre boarding. Bye, Professor.â
When the call ended, Carlos turned his phone off.
âCarlos, are you sure you havenât gone too far? Arenât you worried that
Emmett might rise in revolt?â
âNot far at all.â Carlos had kept his cool in Debbieâs presence. If she werenât around, he would have
humiliated Emmett with useless errands, just to remind him who was in charge here
