She pushed the door open, and the sight of her dear husband welcomed her instead of the original occupant of the office.
“Mr. Handsome, what are you doing here?” she asked.
Carlos stood from the couch and handed her a paper bag.
“Your milk tea, he said.

She had actually expected him to reply something Like “Buy one if you want” when she had messaged him about the milk tea. Instead, her busy CEO husband brought her a hot cup of milk tea himself despite the freezing cold.
She had wondered why he asked her to go to Curtis’ office, and guessed that he might have sent someone else to buy milk tea for her. Her eyes turned red.
“It’s so cold outside! You didn’t have to chere. You should have had one of your assistants bring this for you,” she choked, holding back her tears.
Carlos stroked her hair and said, “I’m fine. Emmett drovehere.
Drink it while it’s still warm.”
She took the cup, put a straw through the cover and took a sip. Her eyes lit up at the taste.
“This is it! My favorite flavor! Old man, how did you know that?” she inquired.
Bubble milk tea with popping boba and coconut jelly-this was her favorite and she would never get tired of it.
Seeing her so happy made him smile. Instead of answering her question, he replied, “I’m glad you love it.”
“Come, taste it!” she said hopefully as she put the straw near Carlos’ lips.

“There’s only one straw,” she said with a shrug.
Carlos held her hand holding the drink and looked her in the eye. Then, much to her surprise, he raised the cup together with her hand and took a sip.
After swallowing, he commented, “It’s too sweet. Remember to rinse your mouth after finishing it.”
“You…you don’t mind using the sstraw?” Debbie could not help but ask. She knew he was a neat freak. His bedroom and bathroom were spotlessly clean. She avoided entering his room unless it was absolutely necessary, too scared to mess anything up in there.
Raising one of his eyebrows, he replied, “Why would I? You’re my wife.”
She flashed a huge grin when she heard his answer.
“Take another sip,” she offered.
