“Of course I don’t like them. I love you,” he assured her.
Debbie smiled.
“I’m relieved. I’m worried that someday when I tell them that I’m your wife, one of them will retort, ‘I’m Carlos’ woman. The whole world knows.” That would be embarrassing.” She giggled thinking about the scene.
“That won’t happen. I’ll take care of the matter with Olga.”
“Okay,” she replied. It bugged her that other women had greedy eyes on her husband. But if Carlos said that he would take care of it, he would. Debbie trusted him.

Curtis had told him what had happened at the party. Unwilling to let the situation get worse, Debbie had intended to apologize to everyone in the end.
That wasn’t the Debbie that Carlos knew. She used to have a devil-may-care attitude and never held back. For example, she had challenged him repeatedly despite knowing that there would be consequences.
But nowadays, she would cave in just to spare everyone the trouble.
Seeing this change in her attitude made Carlos sad.
“Er… You already know everything, don’t you?” asked Debbie, burying her face in the covers.
“Yeah. You did a great job winning the fight! Keep it up. Remember, even if you blew up the sky, I would fill the hole,” Carlos declared proudly.
“Bull! How would you do that?” Debbie couldn’t help but laugh at his ridiculous words. Her annoyance at Hayden had disappeared.
“Just leave the worries to me. All you need to do is be yourself,”
Carlos said firmly.
Debbie understood him perfectly. Comforted by his words, she felt warmth spread through her body.
“Carlos…” “Callwhat?” That was not the form of address Carlos desired. On this serene night, his magnetic voice sounded like a beautiful piece of music that soothed her nerves and took her into a wonderland.

“Sweetie.”
“I miss you.”
More than 2, @0@ km away, Carlos listened to Debbie pour out her longing for him.
His eyes shifted to the outside of the window. The night sky was littered with stars twinkling here and there, as if they were winking mischievously at the people looking up at them. Under the stars, the lights coming from the buildings formed all sorts of shapes. Together, they looked like another star- studded sky, only more colorful and dazzling. It was a perfect night.
“I miss you, too,” he said with a smile.
He wished he could hug her at the moment.
Debbie rolled happily on her bed.
