Chapter 537

Carlos put his hands under his head on the pillow and looked at her, a tender smile adorning his

handsome face. Finally, a single word left his lips.

“Promise.” For the first time in his life, he had willingly allowed himself to be weak. Most willingly.

“I’m happy!” Debbie blew him a kiss, and then tried to push him into the study.

But he shook his head.

“I’m not working tonight. Let’s go out for fun instead.”

When she heard that Carlos was going to take her out, Debbie was thrilled.

“Awesome! Let’s go!”

Just as they stepped out of their bedroom, they came across Valerie and

Megan who had just come upstairs.

Seeing Debbie and Carlos both fully dressed, Megan asked, “Uncle

Carlos, Aunt Debbie, are you going somewhere?”

Debbie ignored her. Carlos nodded.

“Grandma, we’re going out for a bit.”

“What for?” Valerie asked.

“A movie,” Carlos replied. It was Debbie’s suggestion. Her idol’s new movie was just released. She had

been talking about seeing it for a couple of days now. It was about time that he took her out on a date,

and the theater seemed like the perfect excuse.

Megan’s eyes lit up.

“A movie? Uncle Carlos, I want to go. Can I go with you?”

“Bitch, we’re on a date. Can’t you see that?’ Debbie thought.

“Next time. I don’t think you’ll Like this one,” Carlos said, flatly refusing. Debbie was relieved. She had

been worried that Carlos would have agreed to everything Megan asked.

Megan trotted to Carlos and held his sleeve.

“Uncle Carlos, I’m bored here. I want to go to the movies with you. Grandma Valerie will go to sleep

later, and then I’ll have nobody to talk to and nothing to do.

Please let me go with you. Please.”

Valerie knew Megan’s intent. She decided to help her.

“Yes. To keep me company, Megan’s been cooped up here for days. As her uncle and aunt, you should

take her out for some fun.”

Several minutes later, Debbie, Carlos and Megan left the house together.
