When the car arrived at the manor, Carlos scooped Debbie up in his arms, not wanting to wake her up from her nap.
But she blinked her eyes and rubbed her cheek against his chest. She murmured, “Where are we?”
“We are home.” He walked towards the villa with Debbie in his arms.
Her eyes widened, and she looked around. They were indeed home. She struggled in his arms.
“I’m awake now. Putdown.”

When they entered the living room, Debbie saw several shopping bags on the couch and asked casually, “What is this?”
A housemaid answered respectfully, “Debbie, Carlos had them delivered from the expo.”
Carlos took off his suit and gave it to the maid. He loosened his tie and said to Debbie, “Watches and jewelry. Why not undo the wrappings yourself and put them in your jewelry cabinet?”
It was Debbie who had once told him that women enjoyed the process of unwrapping presents. For this reason, Carlos had even asked his men to pack all those things.
Debbie immediately remembered what Sasha had told her at the expo, so she turned to Carlos.
“You bought all the things that I took a fancy to, didn’t you?”
She had planned to corner Carlos at the expo, but Kasie had stopped her at that time. Then she had totally forgotten about the matter.
“Hmm,” Carlos replied shortly. He turned to the maid and said, “Put them in her closet.”
“Yes, Carlos.”
“Wait!” Debbie stopped the maid. She asked Carlos in a serious tone,
“Can I have them returned?”

“They are all lLimited-editions. Once they leave the store, they cannot be returned.”
Debbie was shocked.
“Carlos, you are such a squanderer! Why did you buy all of these? Are we having ssort of collection?” she asked.
Instead of answering her question, he said, “LL send them over to our house abroad.”
‘Fine, whatever. Since they cannot be returned, there’s no point in arguing with him, ‘ she thought.
She pulled out her phone from her purse as soon as she entered her bedroom, and began to inspect her messages. Not until then did she realize that she had becthe talk of the town.
So many people had followed her on Weibo and Facebook. Many had sent her messages on WeChat too. Her phone was full.
