"Yes. I had a good time," Debbie answered with a smile. But in her mind, she cursed, 'Not at all! I had to avoid Carlos' men all the time. And since I have fans all over the world, I had to hide myself in isolated areas of Tibet!'
Carlos' smile broadened as he stroked her hair. "That's good to hear."
As his hand slid from her head to her waist, his face darkened—she was wearing a backless evening dress. He pulled her closer to his body and whispered in her ear, "Honey, you are being very naughty."
Debbie winked at him with a grin and changed the subject. "Let's go find Decker." She tried to break away from his embrace.
But Carlos held her closer. Ignoring the watchful eyes around them, he took off his suit jacket and draped it over her shoulders. Then, he held her hand and said, "Let's go."
Debbie rolled her eyes secretly.
When they found Decker, Carlos spoke even before Debbie could say something. "We have some urgent business to attend to. We're leaving now."
"Wait! I don't—" Debbie protested. Carlos cast a warning glance at her, which made her swallow the remainder of her words.
Seeing the suit jacket on Debbie's shoulders, Decker smirked mischievously and whispered in her ear, "You'd been gone for several months, and you have finally returned, dressed like that. My dear sister, you're so dead."
"Aren't you going to help me out? What kind of brother are you?"
Decker stepped back to keep her at arm's length. "Do I look like someone who can fight off your hungry husband?" he asked with an evil grin.
Debbie didn't even know how to respond to that remark.
Her appearance at the party shattered the rumor that she and Carlos had already gotten divorced. They were very much together. Carlos was so possessive of his wife that he couldn't let anyone see her naked back.
Even after the couple had left the party, the guests were still discussing them.
Inside the black Emperor car, Carlos pounced on Debbie and tore apart the evening dress in mere seconds.
He stared at the woman beneath him, his eyes dark. "Three months… Honey, how could you be so cruel?"
Debbie's face was red as an apple. "Old man, you better restrain yourself."
Carlos sneered, "Restrain myself? In your dreams!" He smashed his lips onto hers and relished the taste. Without breaking the kiss, he took off his shirt and pants and threw them alongside her torn dress.
Carlos banged her again and again so hard that she had to beg for the tyrant's mercy. But he was insatiable.
Debbie knew that he would be. She had come back to satisfy his carnal needs. He was a man of very strong sexual drive, after all. It would do neither of them any good to keep him starved for a long time.
But it turned out that she had underestimated his desire for her.
Debbie had no idea when they returned to the manor. She was so tired that she fell asleep after their wild sex. The next morning, her kids were playing in her bedroom, but she was sound asleep.
When she finally opened her eyes, she saw her two daughters on her bed. The younger one was lying next to her, waving her arms and inarticulately babbling.
The other one was dressed neatly and sat in the corner, keeping an eye on her sister for fear that she might roll off the bed.
When Terilynn saw that Debbie was awake, she turned around and climbed over to her. "Mommy…"
Evelyn pulled her sister closer to her and reprimanded, "Terilynn, Mommy is sleeping. You— Mommy!"
Debbie pulled the two girls into her arms. "My sweet babies! Mommy missed you so much."
Miranda had brought the two girls to meet Debbie a month ago, but she still missed them during the time she was away. Debbie planned on staying with them a little longer before she could leave again.
"Mommy, will you leave us again?" Evelyn asked, her eyes wide open.
Debbie kissed her forehead. "Mommy will stay with you longer this time."
"Mommy, when you were not home, Daddy was fooling around with men every day," Evelyn complained.
Unable to control herself, Debbie burst out laughing at her daughter's words. Then, she asked in a serious tone, "Hey, girl. Who taught you those words?"
Evelyn didn't understand why her mother had become so serious suddenly. "Uncle Damon said it once," she answered honestly.
"All right. But children shouldn't say that, okay?"
Evelyn nodded obediently, though she was still confused.
Debbie spent the summer with her family. When autumn arrived, she left again. This time, she took all of Carlos' money.
When Carlos finally found out, he was already penniless. His two daughters looked at him with innocent eyes, and Evelyn said, "Daddy, Mommy said that if you wanted to find her, you should look for her everywhere."
He was dumbstruck.
Debbie had spent almost two years slowly transferring Carlos' fortune into her account. And now, she was on a tour around the world with his money. The father and his two daughters were left at home. The poor CEO! He had to work hard to support himself and his two girls.
On the sixty-third day since she had left, Carlos managed to find his wife.
The rumors of their relationship status hit the headlines once again. But the netizens didn't dare mention the couple's real names. They were mostly referred to as "CH" and "DN." Someone posted an update on Weibo saying that they had divorced and that the woman had even stolen all of the man's money.
Debbie and Carlos had seen the post, but neither of them gave a damn about it.
With a bank card in his pocket, Carlos appeared in the capital city of Thailand—Bangkok.
When he saw her, she was getting out of a taxi. The hotel across the road was the one she was staying at.
She was about to cross the road when he got out of his car, walked over to her and pulled her into his arms. "Hi, honey."
"Carlos!" Debbie's eyes lit up.
He lowered his head and kissed her lips affectionately.
Inside the hotel, as soon as Debbie opened the door to her room, Carlos pressed her against the wall and asked in a sad tone, "Honey, you shouldn't punish me like this anymore." During the past months she had been away, he had finally realized why Debbie had been running away from him.
Debbie pressed her hands against his chest and drew circles on it. "Why not?"
"I didn't do those things on purpose. You know I had lost my memory, right? Our enemies have been caught and punished. And I will make it up to you for the rest of my life. Honey, you know how much I love you, don't you?"
Of course, Debbie knew Carlos was head over heels in love with her. "Yes, I do."
Carlos heaved a sigh of relief. "Please don't leave me again. I really, really missed you."
"I won't. I missed you too, old man." Since he had realized her intentions, she had achieved her goal and didn't need to leave him again. Besides, she had missed him and the kids very much.
Carlos smiled and leaned on her shoulder. "Honey, can we go to bed now? I'm sleepy."
"No way! Every time we meet, the first thing we do is have sex. Are you here for me or for sex?" Debbie asked, pouting her lips, even though she knew that they would eventually have sex that evening.
