Carlos politely pulled his arm free from her grip and stroked her hair dotingly.
“Every tyou see Tabitha, you ignore the rest of us,” he said.
Megan made a face playfully and walked back to Tabitha.
“Of course.
Tabitha lovesthe most in the whole world,” she declared proudly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCarlos held Debbie tighter and didn’t respond.
Debbie stood there numbly, hands in her pockets. Feeling Carlos’ tightened embrace, she squeezed the fabric hard, a choreographed smile stuck on her face.
It was never in her personality to be as amicable as Megan. Socials and flattery were not her strong suits. She wondered if Tabitha was disappointed in her already.
“Let’s go inside,” Tabitha said, turning.
But before she could take a second step, Megan grabbed her arm and exclaimed, “Ah! Tabitha, I’m sorry I forgot about my friend’s son. He’s in my car. His mom had a last-minute meeting. She asked me to babysit him, but I really wanted to see you so I brought him here instead. I hope you don’t mind.”
With that, she stuck out her tongue awkwardly.
Hearing that there was a kid in the car, Tabitha said to the bodyguards hurriedly, “Let the kid out of the car. Be quick.”
Once the door of Megan’s car was opened, a boy in a blue down jacket jumped out. He wore a black knitted hat and carried a toy gun. At the sight of the group of adults, he held the toy gun up and yelled,
“Hands up! Or I’ll blow your heads off!”
Carlos frowned at the boy’s rude words. Inexperienced in dealing with kids, Debbie wondered if she should cooperate.
Only Megan put her hands up and said, “King Jake, please spare me. How about I take you inside to have sdelicious snacks?”
Hearing that there were snacks, the boy put down his toy gun and dashed towards the house as he shouted, “Go! Charge! Everybody, charge towards the food!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmQuickly, he was in the villa and out of everyone’s sight.
Megan acted as if there was nothing wrong with the boy’s behavior. Or maybe she was used to it.
Without a word, she held Tabitha’s arm and helped the smiling Lady into the villa.
Debbie, on the other hand, thought, ‘If my and Carlos’ son was that naughty, I might strike him every day.”
At this point, her husband whispered in her ear, “I think we should have a girl.”
Debbie blushed. She replied as she followed him inside, “Didn’t you say you wanted a boy?”
“I’m afraid that I would end up hitting him every day,” he said.
Debbie burst into laughter. No doubt that they had a special connection.
Her smile made Carlos’ day.
