Chapter: 148
You know for a fact that I’m currently studying. Who knows, the two of us might even get a di—” Meeting Carlos’ eyes, she swallowed back the word “divorce” and didn’t dare to complete her sentence.
Carlos was holding a glass in one hand with a firm grip. He was now staring at her with fierce eyes as if he were going to kill her right that instant if she dared to say that word.
She really couldn’t understand why he hated so much to divorce her.
“Oh for heaven’s sake! Why can’t you just sign the di— Fine, I won’t say the word again. Don’t look at me like that. I’m really serious. Did my father give you a large fortune with the condition that you must be my husband your whole life?” She really couldn’t find another acceptable reason except for this one.
Normally, marriage should be based on love. But she didn’t love him, and she didn’t fancy the idea that he loved her. ‘Wait, is there a possibility that he fell in love with me?‘ Thinking about this, she couldn’t help but burst into Laughter.
‘How’s that possible? A rich and powerful man Like Carlos would never fall in love with a boyish girl like me,“ she mused.
Carlos poured a glass of water, gave it to her and said, “Are you not thirsty? You’ve been talking since we arrived.”
“Uh… I am.” She took the glass over and drank all the water with one gulp. All of a sudden, she felt hungry. Although there had been lots of delicious dishes prepared at the gathering this evening, she had no appetite and had barely eaten.
It was past 8 p.m. and she wanted to leave the villa and grab something to eat.
“Carlos, I want to go out to eat something. Are you coming with me?” she invited.
Carlos just looked at her, saying nothing.
She didn’t know what was on his mind and assumed that he didn’t want to. She took out her phone and said, “Since you’re not coming with me,
I’m calling my friend to come with me.”
Iho?”
“Jared. I guess he hasn’t eaten anything either.” Before she was able to dial his number, her phone was snatched away by the man.
Carlos turned off her phone, put it in his pocket and walked towards the gates.
While putting his shoes on, he said, “Grab the car keys. You’re driving.”
“Oh! Okay.” She nodded; for her, it would be a good idea since she knew he had drunk much this evening. Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.
She drove the BMW cautiously. When she stopped at a red light, she tilted her head and stole a look at the man who was taking a rest in his seat with his eyes shut.
“Carlos, call your Lawyer now!” she demanded.
Although Carlos had heard Debbie’s words clearly, he didn’t respond, choosing to look out the car window instead.
“You are not calling your lawyer? Fine! I’ll call Emmett and ask him to call your lawyer!” Debbie said as she called out the address book on the vehicle navigation screen
“Without my consent, he won’t call the lawyer.” The man finally opened his mouth to speak.
“Then call him!” she demanded.
“Focus on driving. I’m a man of my word. I won’t rescind my decision.”
