Carlos put on disposable gloves and began to eat chicken feet, just like Debbie.
'The aloof CEO is eating chicken feet!' Debbie's laughter was so loud that even the housemaids on the first floor could hear her.
'As long as I listen to her, she'll be happy. All I want to see is her beautiful smile, ' Carlos thought.
As a result, he catered to her every whim and was very obedient to her during her pregnancy. She knew that he was a loving, devoted husband who was anxious to please her. So she took advantage of the situation and tried all kinds of methods to make fun of him.
One evening, Carlos didn't know why Debbie was mad at him again. She insisted on kicking him out of their bed.
Standing beside the bed, he asked innocently, "Honey, what did I do wrong? Please don't be mad at me. I swear I won't do it again."
"Humph! You're breathing so hard that I won't have any air to breathe. You're suffocating me. Go away!" With that, she threw a pillow at him.
Carlos caught the pillow in his hands and looked at her, not knowing how to respond. If he didn't catch the pillow and it fell to the floor, Debbie would have another excuse to scold him. "Honey, do you want me to stop breathing?"
Debbie blinked her round eyes and said, "Of course not! You go and sleep in the guest room."
"But if I go sleep in the guest room, who'll accompany you to the bathroom at night?" he reasoned and put the pillow on the sofa.
She thought for a moment and realized that his words did make sense. "All right. Honey, let's sleep now."
"Thank you, honey." Carlos climbed back into the bed obediently.
When Damon heard that Carlos and Debbie had remarried, he decided to do something to ask for her forgiveness.
One day, he invited the couple out to have dinner with him, saying that he wanted to apologize to her.
He even bought an expensive antique on the black market to appease her.
Damon knew that as long as Debbie was happy, Carlos was happy. So what he needed to do was fawn over her.
No matter how expensive the gift was, he would buy it for her.
As for money… 'Money will come and go, '
he consoled himself in his mind while stroking the antique.
Damon organized the dinner at the restaurant owned by Colleen. He invited both Jared and Curtis to join them. After all, Debbie was close with them. Damon hoped that the two would put in a good word for him to help his cause.
Wherever Debbie went, Carlos would always be by her side to protect her.
The door to the private booth was opened, and Damon heard Carlos' voice. "Honey, there's water there. Come this way. Honey, hold onto my arm…"
Damon rolled his eyes and sighed quietly. 'Anyone listening to them would think that Debbie is blind, ' he thought to himself.
The next moment, he put on a flattering smile and stood up from his seat to welcome the woman. "Hi, Debbie. You're finally here."
Debbie approached them. The long red cashmere overcoat she was wearing set off her lovely, fair skin. Carlos was right by her side, with one of his hands on her slightly swollen belly protectively. When Carlos saw Damon, he said, "Honey, keep an eye on Damon."
Damon's jaw dropped in shock. 'What did I do wrong?'
Debbie had a healthy pregnancy glow about her, and she had gained some weight. She flashed a broad smile and greeted the people in the room, "Hi Uncle Curtis! Damon! Jared!"
Curtis stood up and pulled out the chair next to him. "Come and sit down. You must be tired." Carlos took Debbie's coat and led her to the chair to sit down next to Curtis.
Once Debbie sat down, Jared picked up the serving chopsticks and placed some cold dishes onto her plate. "Tomboy, eat up. These are your favorite dishes."
Carlos used to be in the limelight, but now his position was replaced by his wife.
However, he didn't care about it at all. He sat down in his seat next to Debbie.
When they were all seated, Curtis teased Carlos, who was serving Debbie food. "I heard that Mr. Huo had changed his profession and become a servant. It seems like it's true."
Carlos put some celery on Debbie's plate and answered indifferently, "I love to serve my wife. Why don't you have a second baby so you can be a servant too?"
Curtis chuckled. "We won't be having a second baby. One child is enough. I don't want my wife to go through pregnancy again. It's torturing."
Upon hearing that, Debbie swallowed the food in her mouth and defended her husband. "Uncle Curtis, it was me who wanted to have a second baby."
Curtis shook his head helplessly. "I was just kidding. Why are you so protective of him?"
Debbie smiled at him and continued eating.
Damon stood and poured everyone else a glass of wine and freshly squeezed juice for Debbie since alcohol wasn't healthy for the baby. He then raised his glass towards her in toast and said, "Debbie, I want to apologize to you."
Debbie was stunned by his announcement. Carlos had told her that Damon invited them out to dinner because he had some free time.
She blinked at him and asked, "Why apologize?"
Her question made Damon feel even guiltier. 'She's such a generous woman. How could I have misunderstood her in the past?' he thought. Damon glanced at Carlos and saw him staring at him with cold eyes, so he continued, "Four years ago, you and Megan were on bad terms with each other. I thought it was your fault, and I shouldn't have listened to James Huo. I even spoke ill of you. Debbie, I hope you'll accept this gift from me, and I hope you like it."
With that, he gulped down the wine down in one go and then held his hand out to Jared.
Jared pulled out a box and handed it to his brother.
Damon took the box and made his way toward Debbie with the gift. She immediately stood up as well to show respect.
Carlos frowned and said, "Honey, just sit down. You're pregnant."
Debbie patted his hand and said, "Hey, watch your manners."
"It's not my — okay, okay. I'll watch my manners." He changed his tone immediately when he saw the glare in her eyes.
Damon was astounded when he saw how obedident the bossy CEO was with his wife. He looked at her sincerely, holding the box out to her in both his hands, and said, "Debbie, please accept the gift. From now on, I'll be siding with you."
Debbie glare at the expensive red sandalwood box, and guessed that whatever was inside must be very expensive too. Without taking the gift, she said, "It's okay, let bygones be bygones. I'm living a good life now. You didn't cause me any harm. You were fooled by them just as many others had been. Since you're Carlos' buddy, you don't need to be formal with me either. You didn't need to buy me a gift.
When she didn't accept the gift, Damon felt awkward and became anxious. He placed the box into her hands and said, "You must take it. Thanks to your husband, I've made a lot of money. It can be said that I bought the gift with his money. So please, take it and don't feel shy."
"But it's still your money. you earned it. And besides, you have two children now. it'll cost you a large sum of money to raise them," Debbie reasoned, about to give the box back to him.
"Tomboy, just take it. If you don't take it, he'll spend the money in another way," Jared chimed in.
