Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 209

Hayden smiled resignedly. Aware of Debbie's stubborn personality, he had to back out gracefully. "My assistant booked it for me. I don't know the price of a first-class ticket. How about this? When we return to Y City, you can buy me a meal or something. Then we'll be even-steven."

Debbie hesitated. After a moment, she nodded, "Okay." Then, she put her phone in Airplane Mode and put on the headset, ignoring the man next to her.

Hayden was true to his word. They'd been on the plane for hours, but he hadn't bugged her once.

It had been a sleepless night for Debbie last night thanks to her fight with Carlos. She couldn't fall asleep until the wee hours and then she woke up quite early this morning to catch her flight. She tried watching a movie to pass the time, but she was soon overtaken by drowsiness, her eyelids drooping. She turned off the video and rested her head on the seat back to take a nap.

She fell sound asleep at once. Seeing that, Hayden pressed the button to call in a stewardess, asking her to fetch a blanket. He carefully covered Debbie with the blanket, and tried not to wake her.

For a moment, he kept staring at her sleeping face, eyes glimmering with affection. He wished that time would freeze this moment forever. As the affection in his eyes grew, he couldn't help but plant a kiss on her forehead.

The sleeping Debbie was disturbed, her forehead itchy. She frowned. But the itchy feeling was gone soon, and she drifted off to dreamland again.

She had been asleep for only a few moments before it was dinnertime.

As the stewardess began to deliver the food, Hayden woke her up and asked her what she would like for dinner.

The stewardess had been waiting at one side. In a haze, Debbie mumbled, "What do we have?"

Her sleepy look and mumbling amused Hayden very much. With no choice, he repeated what he had said. "Fruit salad, fish and rice, Australian steak... Which one do you want?"

Debbie lowered her head to look at the blanket in confusion. Absent-minded, she casually answered, "Fish and rice, baked chicken wings, seafood, spaghetti... and a glass of orange juice and a Haagen-Dazs. Thank you."

The stewardess was taken aback by the amount of food she had ordered. Yet, with professionalism, she managed not to show the surprise on her face and replied politely, "Yes, please wait for a moment." Hayden, of course, was absolutely stunned. He knew she could eat a lot and liked to, and her metabolism somehow managed to let her burn all those calories and there wasn't a trace of fat on her, not even a belly. How she did this was a mystery. Hayden was also secretly delighted, because it was one new thing he didn't know about this goddess before. And he loved finding out new things about her.

As a man, he had only ordered a garden variety steak. No wonder the stewardess was so shocked to hear Debbie's order.

Debbie was well aware of her own large appetite, and she didn't think it was necessary to hide it from Hayden. She didn't care what he thought. After placing the order, she went to the ladies' room.

At night, Debbie came to realize that their seats were actually for couples. There was a small curtain around their compartment. If they pulled it closed, it would separate them from the others, giving them privacy and independent space. She could join the mile-high club if she wanted. But she wasn't that type of girl, even though Hayden found himself wishing that she was.

But that wasn't something she really wanted to do with Hayden. So, she kept the curtain open, adjusted her seat and closed her eyes again.

As she closed her eyes, Carlos' face came to mind. She suddenly felt resentful. That bad man hadn't called her once after knowing she took a flight alone.

Was he having a good time with Megan on his private plane?

Debbie suddenly felt sorry for her impulsive decision. She shouldn't have given them the chance to stay together.

Thinking of it, she patted her own forehead, feeling annoyed.

Hayden noticed her gesture and turned to ask with concern, "What's up? Are you okay?"

Debbie hid her emotion and said, "I'm okay. Just a little bit dizzy. Maybe I'm too sleepy."

Hayden slightly pulled the corner of her blanket as he said, "Then get some sleep now. The plane will arrive at Y City early tomorrow morning."

"Hmm. Thanks." Debbie turned to one side with her back against Hayden and fell silent.

Hayden stared blankly at her back for a long while until he could hear her light and steady breathing. Knowing that she'd been sound asleep, he pulled the curtain closed, separating them from the outside world.
