NovelEnglishCurtis didn’t pay any attention to Yates’ barb. He shook his head and turned to ask his wife, “Honey, see anything different about Carlos tonight?”
Colleen nodded, “Yes. He’s even more possessive and overbearing than usual. I don’t like him. Honestly, I don’t know what Debbie sees in him.”
“Anything else?” Curtis prompted.
“No.”
Curtis Looked at Yates and raised an eyebrow with a triumphant smile.

‘I wonder if this is the difference between men and women, ‘ Yates thought. But then he asked Curtis again, “Think Niles has figured it out?”
Curtis shifted his gaze to the naughty doctor trying to pull a prank on
Wesley, and said, “I don’t think he knows, either.”
Yates nodded, “Agreed.”

After the party ended, Carlos held onto Debbie with one arm and carried
Evelyn with his other arm, and then led them to his car.
He had a Little red wine tonight, so he asked Frankie to drive. A child seat was installed in the back seat of the car. After Debbie was settled in next to the child seat, there was not much room left, but to

“I’ll sit in the passenger seat,” she said, moving to try and make for the door.

“Drive.”
The car drove into traffic and sped away from the Orchid Private Club.
On their way home, Carlos kept staring at Evelyn with an affectionate look in his eyes while talking to her the whole time. He was sad that he missed three years of her life. He never got to feed her a bottle, hear her first words, or see her walking. That wasn’t going to happen again, if he had anything to say about it.
On the other hand, Debbie had been staring at Carlos again. She was sure something was wrong with him, but what was it?
The car rolled up to the manor. As usual, Carlos helped Evelyn bathe and tucked her into bed.
Debbie leaned against the door of the kid’s room and watched him. By the tEvelyn had closed her eyes and was sleeping peacefully, she couldn’t help yawning. She said quietly, “I have work tomorrow, Carlos.
I think I’1l turn in.”
