Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 206

Carlos shook his head and pecked her lips. "I should be the one to apologize. Sorry for making you suffer like this. Did Lewis do anything bad to you?"

"No, but he climbed onto my bed and I discovered it wasn't you..." Debbie hadn't expected Lewis to be so bold even in the Huo family's house. At first, she had thought that the guy who climbed on top of her was Carlos. But then the difference in weight and the scent of Lewis' cologne made her realize that it definitely wasn't Carlos. She got really crept out, and even now, when talking of it, she still felt her heart race.

Flames of rage flashed through Carlos' eyes. He asked between gritted teeth, "And then? What did he do?"

Though embarrassed, Debbie mustered the courage to tell him in a hushed voice, "He... climbed on top of me and wanted to...touch me, but I figured it out and stopped him at once."

At this point, Carlos' face had completely darkened. He suddenly broke his embrace, removed Debbie from his arms, and strode toward the doorway.

"Hey! Where are you going?" Debbie shouted anxiously. Without time to put on her slippers, she ran after him in bare feet. Thankfully, he hadn't gone outside, and the carpet was warm and soft.

Carlos turned his head around and spat, "To deal with him!"

Seeing the fuming rage in his eyes, Debbie got flustered. It looked as if he was going to eat someone. To stop him, she grabbed hold of his arm, shook her head and persuaded, "No, no. See, I'm safe and sound now, right? He didn't do anything. And you've already taught him a lesson. Come on, calm down, okay? I promise I'll be more careful next time."

It took him a moment to compose himself. Letting out a deep sigh, he noticed her bare feet and immediately, carried her in his arms. "Where are your slippers?" he rebuked. He didn't like it when she went barefoot. Not only was it unseemly, but it could be unsafe.

Debbie threw her arms around his neck, staring into his eyes. "You just got here. I have you all to myself finally. Don't go anywhere now, okay? I'm tired. Come to bed?" she said, using her cute tone in her favor. She knew Carlos was a man of his word. Once he made a decision, it would be hard to change his mind. Even though Lewis was his cousin, he would still find him and jump him.

Most of the Huo family members already disliked her. And earlier tonight, Carlos had punched Lewis and James in front of the other family members. After tonight, they hated her even more. Now, if Carlos did anything terrible to Lewis, the Huo family would never forgive her!

"Okay, I hear you," Carlos promised, regaining his composure. He tucked her into bed and covered her with the quilt. Then, he shed his clothes before entering the bathroom.

Lying prone in the bed, Debbie whined, "Mr. Handsome, it's less than ten below zero outside. You didn't sweat today and you change your clothes every day. Why shower now? The water will go to waste!"

Carlos stopped his steps and looked toward the complaining woman, feeling baffled. Hesitantly, he replied, "I need to wash my feet."

"Okay, be quick!" Debbie nodded happily.

However, much to Debbie's frustration, that germophobe still chose to take a long shower in the end...

When he finally climbed onto the bed, Debbie clung to him and joked, "Next time, I'm going to quit showering for a whole week and hug you like this. So have I turned you off, seeing that I'm unwashed?"

Breathing in the fragrance of her hair, he said casually, "So what? Even if you don't bathe for a whole week, I still can kiss you all over!"

Debbie couldn't believe her ears. 'Mr. Huo, aren't you a germophobe?' she wondered.

Stroking his short hair, she recalled what happened earlier. In a jealous voice, she asked, "You've been busy all day long. You must be absolutely bushed. Why did you cook for Megan?"

Carlos tightened his arms on her and explained slowly, "For the past five years, I've been looking after her like this. I didn't think much of it tonight. But if you don't like it, I guess I can stop." He had never turned down Megan for anything she wanted in the past five years. Cooking a bowl of noodles wasn't a big deal, so of course, he didn't refuse to do it either.

'Don't like it? Of course I don't like it!' Debbie sulked. "Yes, I hate that you put yourself out for her. You work hard all day, and then you take care of another woman after work!" she protested with concern in her voice.

Smiling, he kissed her on her forehead. "It's sweet that you worry about me."

"Of course. You aren't her husband, so she doesn't worry about your health. But I feel my heart ache!" Yes, her heart ached when she knew Carlos personally cooked for Megan. But it wasn't just about his health, but also for the jealousy. The jealousy was really killing her.

Clever as Carlos was, of course he could comprehend the subtext of her words. "Sorry, sweetheart. I didn't know it bugged you so much. I'll take note of it and never let it happen again, okay?"

Debbie couldn't help but sigh inwardly. She leaned over his chest, hearing his heartbeat. There were times that she felt this man was actually a fool who tried his best to make her happy. Yet, maybe he was not stupid at all because his strategy always worked. Even though she had almost drowned in jealousy, how could she be angry with him anymore after hearing his sincere apology?
