“You want Mom to worry about us?”
“Mom is a smart woman. Even if I don’t tell her, she’ll know it’s all your fault,” Debbie joked with a confident smile.
To support her, Carlos held her arm and slowly led the way to the dining room, where everything was ready by now. Straightaway, he led her to the sink so that they could wash their hands. Just then, Tabitha and Megan walked out of the kitchen together.
“Debbie, how do you find his English class? Is he easy to follow?” asked Tabitha in an honest tone.

“From a tender age, Carlos showed promise in languages. Even through college he maintained a distinction in English,” explained Tabitha.
The stellar academic achievements of her son were something she greatly took pride in. There was no denying, Carlos’ grasp of languages was exceptional. In particular, Debbie was impressed by his English. As
Tabitha and Megan took their places at the table, Carlos, now at the sink, quietly listened with no emotion on his face, as if he didn’t know what they were talking about.
Not to be left out of the women’s talk, Megan echoed, “Uncle Carlos is not only good at English, he’s also fluent in French, Russian
Japanese, Korean and German. Meanwhile, he’s also studying Spanish,
Arabic…” Megan droned on, until she was interrupted by Debbie, who cut in, in praise of her husband.
“Aren’t you incredible, darling?!”
To which Carlos replied genially, “Thanks for the compliment, Honey.”
“I guess I might never catch up with you in that area,” Debbie grumbled, pouting her Lips. At one time, she had imagined getting ahead of him. Apparently, she had underestimated just how versatile Carlos was.
Language ability was only one of his many exceptional skills. Would she ever cclose to his other areas of strength?
“You can give it a try. Maybe you’ll succeed,” he teased with an arched eyebrow.

“Old man, I’ve made up my mind that I’ll be a housewife. You support the family, and all I have to do is take care of you. What do you think of it?”
The running water washed away the liquid soap on Carlos’ hands. He pinched her cheek with his wet hand and answered, “You’re the boss.”
Debbie elbowed him gently and pouting her lips, complained, “Mind your hand, old man! In order to make a good impression on your mom, I put on smakeup this morning. See, I used primer and BB cream. Better be careful where you touch me, or my makeup will run.”
Although her cosmetics were water-proof, she was still worried that her makeup might run.
It occurred to Carlos she might be honest about her makeup.
Earlier on, while he was engrossed on the phone, he had seen Debbie doing something before the dressing table. It must have been makeup she was putting on.
At long last, when they went to the dining table, Tabitha and Megan were already waiting for them. There were ten main courses and two soups on the table. The housemaids had already poured a glass of wine for everyone. The wine was one of Carlos’ best collections.
