NovelEnglishI feel for Debbie because she has such a wonderful husband. Right, Debbie? The man of your dreams.”
It didn’t make sense. Carlos knew it. If Emmett really thought he was a good husband, he wouldn’t have used the expression “feel for her.” “I hear that your family is trying to arrange blind dates for you. I’tL call Marc Debenham.”
Hearing this, Emmett becfretful.
“Hey, it’s almost New Year. Do you have to be so cruel?”
Hmm? Debbie looked back and forth between the two. ‘Why call Prof.

Carlos pulled her into his arms and ignored Emmett.
“Prof. Marc,” he answered while they walked towards the VIP passage.
Then Debbie learned that Carlos was Marc’s student too, which cas a surprise. And Emmett turned out to be Prof. Marc’s stepson.
When Emmett was 13, his mom remarried Marc. And Emmett had lived with his mom in the professor’s house afterwards.
As Emmett’s stepfather, Marc didn’t spoil the boy. On the contrary, being an educator, he was strict with him, especially about his education, which turned the rebellious adolescent against him. Emmett vowed that he would never call Marc “Father,” nor would he ever use
Marc’s family name. To this day, Emmett kept his family nCooper.
Therefore, despite being father and son, Emmett and Marc had different family names. That was why the connection between them had never occurred to Debbie.
But as Emmett grew up, he realized that Marc cared about him a lot.
When it cto Emmett’s marriage, he was even more concerned than
Emmett’s mom.
He had sent Emmett on more than thirty blind dates within a couple of months. If Emmett hadn’t been so busy, Marc would have made it three blind dates a day for him.

Carlos took out his phone and called Marc just as he had said.
“Prof,
Emmett has been so idle lately he has even started to sabotage my relationship with my wife. If you run out of candidates for his blind dates, I can have Tristan send you the nlist of all the socialite divas and rich girls in Alorith. You’re welcome, Professor. Yes, my wife is withright now. We’re flying to New York. We’ll visit you after the New Year. Please send my regards for your wife and wish her a ‘Happy New Year!” for me. We’re boarding. Bye, Professor.”
When the call ended, Carlos turned his phone off.
“Carlos, are you sure you haven’t gone too far? Aren’t you worried that
Emmett might rise in revolt?”
“Not far at all.” Carlos had kept his cool in Debbie’s presence. If she weren’t around, he would have humiliated Emmett with useless errands, just to remind him who was in charge here
