Left with no choice, she nodded and said, “Since Uncle Sebastian and
Aunt Lucinda put in a good word for you, I forgive you. For now!” Then she leaned closer to Carlos and whispered in his ear bashfully, “Only because I love you too much!” She made sure that her last sentence was only heard by him. She wasn’t as shameless as Carlos.
Although the others couldn’t hear what Debbie had whispered in his ear, they all noticed the big, happy smile on Carlos’ face. He kissed his wife once again and said, “Thank you.”
Sasha shouted loudly from behind, “Wow, you are such a sweet couple!
I’m so jealous!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtA Lot of women echoed her words and began to compliment them.
“Yes. Mr. and Mrs. Hilton are so in love with each other. You’re a match made in heaven.”
One of the guests asked jokingly, “Mrs. Hilton is so charming and beautiful. Carlos, is that why you didn’t want to reveal her identity to us before now? Were you afraid of her being snatched away by someone else?”
Those words reminded Carlos of someone. He didn’t deny it. Instead, he casually shifted his eyes to the man standing sdistance away from him and declared in an aggressive voice, “Indeed. My wife is so beautiful that I have to make one thing absolutely clear to every man here. This is MY woman. No one is allowed to covet her anymore.”
Caught off guard, Hayden had no choice but to return a thin smile.
He realized that Carlos was unbelievably possessive of Debbie. Sweeks ago, Carlos had taken sserious measures to put the Gomez
Group deep in crisis. It was meant as a warning to Hayden for pestering
Debbie. Hayden had just managed to get his company through the crisis and now, he was being provoked by Carlos blatantly.
No matter how much he refused to accept the reality, the fact was that they were a couple now. He could do nothing at the moment except force a bitter smile.
As everyone cheered, Debbie pulled the corner of Carlos’ clothes and hissed, “Hey! My uncle and aunt are still here. And there are so many people here too. Stop saying these things!”
Carlos whispered in her ear, “You’re my wife. Did I say something wrong?”
The show was finally over when the couple began whispering to each other without minding the people around them. The security guards cand dispersed the crowd quickly.

Carlos chuckled, “Do you Like it?”
“What?” Debbie was confused when he changed the subject abruptly.
Carlos threw a glance at her wrist. Debbie got the hint and answered with a fake frown, “It’s not too bad. I love this fragment of Martian meteorite. And for that alone, I would say I like this watch.”
Her answer was nothing like he had expected. He had to admit that
Debbie was really special. Most women would have focused on the diamonds, but Debbie was attracted by the Martian meteorite.
Later that night, thanks to Debbie’s comment on the watch, the designer who had put forward the idea of adding the element of the meteorite in the design, was praised by Carlos and was promoted to vice design director. In fact, this designer’s idea was initially disapproved by many other designers. But Carlos had liked the idea, just like Debbie had.
For the rest of the night, Carlos kept Debbie company and showed her around the exposition to appreciate the jewelry and designer watches.
