Chapter 326
Tabitha knew he was kidding. ‘Carlos gets pushed around? Is that even possible?’
But innocently Debbie protested, “No. I never…” She explained incoherently. She was clumsy at socializing. Carlos telling his mom on her threw her off guard
“Well done, Debbie!” Tabitha remarked, to her surprise.
“Somebody has to let him know that women can’t be bullied. He used to belittle women all the time. That is about to change. Don’t be easy on him if he does that again.”
“Huh?” ‘Is she kidding me?’ Debbie wondered. ‘But she doesn’t seem to be joking. Usually moms are protective of their children. Why is she not?
Is Carlos adopted?’
Tabitha and Debbie had a good time chatting. The amiable chitchat left
Debbie relieved.
When they arrived at the villa, Tabitha Looked at the new structure and asked, “Carlos, don’t you live in the manor?”
“No, but with time. I’m planning to move into there,” said Carlos, pulling Debbie into his arms. Once the lab and music studio were built and the other rooms were decorated, he and Debbie would move in.
‘Manor? What manor? Is it some place Carlos used to live in?’ Debbie was curious, but she was cautious not to ask him about it. At least for now, in Tabitha’s presence, that wouldn’t be wise. So she put those questions behind her.
When they were about to walk in the house, a red Mercedes pulled to a halt near them. Glimpsing the license plate, Carlos stopped. Content rights belong to NôvelDrama.Org.
The driver’s door opened and a girl in pink rolled out and threw herself at Carlos’ mom.
“Tabitha! I missed you so much,” Megan cath
Megan Looked youthful in her pink, cashmere overcoat and white casual shoes.
Tabitha was delighted to see her.
“Oh, Megan! You’ve grown! Let me see you,” she said as she gave her a warm welcome hug.
Tabitha was grateful because of what Megan’s parents had done for
Carlos. She loved her as if she were her own daughter.
“Tabitha, I’m already 18, remember? I’m an adult now and won’t grow much taller,” Megan said coyly.
Amused, Tabitha grinned from ear to ear. She took Megan’s hand in hers and patted it lovingly. Their closeness saddened Debbie, who watched silently in Carlos’ arms.
“Oh, Debbie, do you and Megan know each other?” Tabitha asked her.
Holding back the bitterness in her heart, Debbie forced a smile and answered, “Yes, we’ve met before.”
‘They look like a family, ‘ Debbie thought.
Suddenly, Megan let go of Tabitha and ran towards Carlos happily. She took his left arm casually as if she had done it a million times before, and said with a smile, “Uncle Carlos, Aunt Debbie, I’m sorry for not greeting you right away. I was too excited to see Tabitha!”
