NovelEnglishCarlos,” he said tenderly.
“Decar…Debbie and Carlos… What a good name!”
Staring at him in a daze, Debbie cupped his face with her hands as if in a gentle gesture, only to pinch his cheeks so hard. Carlos was startled.
“What’s wrong?”
In a serious voice, she asked, “Did it hurt?”

“No.”
“No? So I’m just daydreaming! Everything here is not real, right? What a good dream! I hope I’ll never wake up,” she said, pouting.
Carlos rolled his eyes at her.
As Debbie was still in a confused state, he led her to another room that was specially furnished for her —a gym.
There had been a gym in this villa previously but he had it renovated for her sake.
As Debbie was good at running, he had purchased a few new treadmills with different functions. He also had added other equipment, suitable for women.
The last room they visited was a spacious dancing and yoga studio. On one side of the room was a French window facing a Lawn. The other three walls were covered with floor to ceiling mirrors, giving the room an illusion of even bigger space.
A few pieces of hammocks and swing straps for doing anti-gravity yoga dangled from the ceiling. Beautiful yoga mats and yoga balls completed the list of accessories. It was a fully furnished yoga stuthat would rival any professional clubs around.
Just a feel of the stuwould excite even those who didn’t have interest in yoga.
Observing their reflections in the mirror, Carlos noticed the pleased look in Debbie’s eyes. Affectionately, he pulled her into his arms and said, “Just hold on a little longer. After you finish your studies abroad and cback, we will settle down here. This will be our hforever. Okay?”
“Our hforever…” Debbie felt touched.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThrough the French window, she gazed at the lawn outside and indulged in a bit of fantasy. She pictured herself walking hand in hand with
Carlos on the Lawn under the sunlight, probably with one or two kids and a cat or a dog playing around. A happy smile crept across her face as she thought about such a warm scene.
Then, they headed to the three-storey villa. When they arrived at the gate, Carlos grabbed her hand and pressed her finger on the fingerprint lock to collect and identify her data.
Now, she realized this three-storey villa was the place where they would Live, while the two-storey building they had just visited would be for recreational purposes. Carlos had chosen that building and renovated it into a music studio, a lipstick lab, a gym and a yoga room, because there was a large swimming pool in front of it. Since
Debbie was fanatical about swimming, that building would be the best choice.
After unlocking the gate, Debbie eagerly pushed it open. But barely had she set a foot in when out of the blue an “attacker” charged at them.
“Be careful!” she shouted. On reflex, she lifted her right leg and was about to kick hard, only for Carlos to push her aside. He caught the “attacker” in his arms, leaving Debbie astounded.
When she realized clearly that the “attacker” was a dog, she rolled her eyes.
