Anyway, if you hadn’t taken her to the banquet, how would such things have happened?”

You knowwell. I’ve never been unfaithful to you, right?” When
Debbie didn’t answer, he continued, “You tricked the woman into telling you the truth, and then you smacked her. Now, you’re purposely throwing a tantrum, afraid I might get even with you. Am I right?”
Debbie was lost for words. ‘Oh! My excuses have been so easily uncovered.’ After a while, she finally found her voice again.

Carlos tore up the photos into pieces and threw them to the trash can.
“My wife was dressed so nicely before going out. Of course I had to have someone stalk you and report everything to me. What if you had gone to meet a man? Did I get it wrong?”
He must have seen through her. Feeling both angry and embarrassed,
Debbie flew her fist towards Carlos’ chest, but he quickly caught it and pulled her into his arms in the process. He whispered in her ear gently, “Honey, I’m glad that you trust me.”
Debbie blushed red. She said with a pout, “Who said I trusted you? You have so many women around you every day. Be honest, did you see something that you shouldn’t see when you were with that woman?” She wanted to ask him if he had touched that woman or done anything intimate with her. But she didn’t dare to ask him bluntly, so she beat around the bush to raise her question.
“What do you think?” Carlos answered her with a question.
“How would I know that?’ Debbie thought. With a pout, she scoffed, “It you ask my opinion, I would say yes. Men with power and money tend to enjoy fooling around with women. You’re no exception!”
Carlos smirked.
“I don’t care for such petty things. Plus, my wife is very strict. How could I dare fool around with other women?”
Debbie grinned broadly. In a gleeful voice, she said, “That sounds better.”
