Chapter 556

Debbie decided to make peace with Valerie for Carlos’ sake. He had done a lot for her, and she should

do something in return.

‘Maybe we got off on the wrong foot. When I first knew the Hilton family didn’t like me, I should’ve tried

to make them like me instead of standing up to them, * Debbie mused.

Now that Debbie had already made a concession, Valerie didn’t think she should press her luck.

Otherwise, Carlos would think she was crazy. She decided to let Debbie go for now, and she would find

a new way to deal with her. Sitting back on the couch, she snorted, saying nothing more

Debbie gave Valerie a smile and went back to Carlos. They went up the stairs, hand in hand.

After they entered the bedroom, Carlos shut the door behind them and then walked to the study

adjoining the bedroom. He opened his laptop and began to work, without saying a word to Debbie.

‘What?! I thought he wasn’t mad anymore.

Turns out I was wrong, and he’s still angry, ‘ Debbie thought.

She sat on the bedside, wondering what she should do to cool him down.

Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind. She entered the study quietly and sat on the couch.

All of a sudden, she held her back with her right hand and cried,

“Aaaargh! It hurts! My back!”

Carlos stopped typing and stood up. He strode towards her and asked anxiously, “What’s wrong? Your

back hurts? Let me take you to the hospital.”

“No… No… No need for that. I can handle it.”

“No! I must take you to the hospital.” He scooped her up in his arms and was about to leave.

Debbie cuddled his neck and said quickly, “Don’t take me to the hospital! I just feel Like I’m sprouting

wings.”

Carlos stopped and looked at her in disbelief.

His reaction amused Debbie, and she wanted to laugh out loud. But she knew he would get angry

again if she did. So she said playfully,

“Honey, I’ve developing wings.”

Instead of putting her down, Carlos took her to the bed and threw her onto it. He began to strip off her

clothes while saying, “Well, I’d like to check how your wings are coming along. What kind of bird are

you, anyway? Never mind, let’s have fun finding it out.”

Carlos’ words amused Debbie. She rolled on the bed and said, “No need to check what kind of bird I

am. I was a humble sparrow in the past.

But after I got married to you, I became a shining phoenix.”

Carlos was in no mood to banter with her any longer; he needed to teach her a lesson in his own way.

He pulled her into his arms and began to take off her clothes.

“Don’t, Carlos. You are hurting me. Aaaaargh! Stop taking off my clothes. I was kidding. I don’t have

wings.”

Debbie’s cries were so loud they traveled outside the bedroom.

“Why are you kissing my back? I said I didn’t have wings!”
