‘A girl?’ Carlos pondered. The man, who had always wanted a boy, hesitated right now. ‘A girl…’
The couple were immersed in their own thoughts. Without giving Debbie a straight answer, Carlos held on to her, who had wrapped herself tight in the down jacket again, and led her outside the door.
“I’ve arranged our trip to Maldives,” he said.
“We’ll go there after spending the New

Digging her fingers into her ears, Debbie repeatedly nodded her head
“Okay.” Since her handshusband had always treated her well, of course she’d do what he wanted.
And it was not like she’d have to do without him. Carlos would also be there, waiting for her when the school day was done. She would be okay with it as long as he was by her side. But her best friends would be sad. Next year, they wouldn’t be able to see her. She was the one who stuck up for them when they were wronged, and lifted their moods when they were unhappy. Of course, she’d miss them too.
Seeing Debbie nodding meekly along without protest, Carlos was content.
Ignoring everyone, he planted a kiss on her forehead.
“Hey, I’ve got a surprise for you.”
“What surprise?” Debbie asked expectantly
Glowing with happiness, Carlos looked into her eyes and said, “You’ll have to wait till we’re back home. If I tell you, how could it be a surprise?”

All of a sudden, she shifted her gaze from her phone to the outside of the car window. Confused by the unfamiliar scenery outside, she turned to Carlos and asked, “Where are we going? Aren’t we going back to the villa?”
“No…” He was busy looking over documents. He took advantage of the long ride, keeping his company running smoothly. It took dedication and drive to use your spare moments to work, but Carlos had those in spades. His phone suddenly rang, interrupting his reply.

Ten minutes later, the car started to slow down. Up in the driver’s seat, Emmett reminded Debbie, “Debbie, take a look out the window. The scenery is just amazing.” ‘Carlos really knows how to enjoy life. This manor has everything, ‘ Emmett marveled in his mind.
Heeding what he said, Debbie rolled down the car window and Looked out.
She saw the manor gate a short distance away.
“So where are we now?” she asked curiously.
Carlos smiled, “Our new home.”
Before he moved into the villa to live with Debbie, Carlos had stayed in this manor every the came back to Alorith. The surroundings here were quite tranquil. It was a perfect place for them to live.
‘Our… home?’ Debbie repeated these words to herself.
