Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 248

Debbie's sudden refusal made Gregory's heart ache, but he was reluctant to give up. "Debbie, this expo is being held by the ZL Group, and many international celebrities will be attending. Invitations are hard to come by. Emmett, Kasie, and Jared will be there as well. You'll be going abroad soon, right? Why not take this opportunity to have some fun?" After a pause, he added while feigning indifference, "If you really don't want to go, it's fine. I'll go with Colleen and her boyfriend. I hope they don't give me the cold shoulder for ruining their date."

Debbie was confused. "I thought you didn't like these kinds of activities. Why are you mad keen to go this time?"

"Oh, here's the thing. I collect watches. And this is a world-wide expo. There will be many limited-edition watches. I really need to see them in person."

Debbie began to wonder, 'It's held by ZL Group. Carlos just asked me to go to an expo with him. Is it the same?' "Will Carlos be there?" she asked.

After some hesitation, Gregory murmured, "He will be there, but..." He didn't know if he should tell her the truth. He didn't want to drive a wedge between the couple.

Debbie's heart skipped a beat when he said "but," and she asked, "But what?"

"Nothing. Didn't he tell you about the expo?" he asked curiously. The whole world would have its attention turned to the expo, and Carlos should be taking his wife to it. Yet...

"He told me, but I refused to go with him," she said honestly. Now, for some reason, she regretted having turned Carlos down.

Since Debbie had already declined Carlos' offer, Gregory didn't think she would accept his invitation. "Well, since you want to stay home, I better leave you be. Bye, Debbie."

"Wait!" Debbie stopped him. "Gregory, did Carlos do something to you after he had seen us together at that restaurant?" On one hand, she was afraid that her petty husband would've done something to hurt Gregory. On the other hand, she sort of knew that he wouldn't because Gregory was Colleen's brother.

"No, he didn't. Carlos is always nice to me," he replied. The truth was, when the new semester began, most of the teachers began to pay more attention to him.

They left him with more homework, and made him the class monitor and commissary in charge of literature and art. He was much busier than before.

They had said that they were doing this for his own good, but he didn't like it at all.

"Great!" Debbie heaved a long sigh of relief. "By the way, you said 'but.' But what? What did you want to tell me?"

Gregory hesitated for a while before answering honestly, "I heard from someone that Carlos was attending the expo with... Portia Gu."

Debbie couldn't believe her ears. 'What?! Portia Gu? That woman again? She is everywhere!'

She gulped and asked, "Why Portia Gu?" She hated that woman.

"Sorry Debbie, but I don't know why either. I'm curious too. After all, Carlos had shut her out from the entertainment circle before. And now he is attending the expo with her. It is really confusing."

Portia was a college student, and was not related to Carlos in any way. But he had taken her out as his date a couple of times recently.

Gregory wondered, 'Is it because Portia is pretty?

But Debbie is more beautiful than her.'

Debbie frowned at his words. 'Carlos had shut her out before? Why didn't he tell me about this? Why did he do it? Was it for me?'

"Gregory, I'll go with you," she said all of a sudden. She wanted to keep an eye on Portia in case she seduced her husband.

She had already rejected Carlos, and the latter had decided to attend it with Portia. So she had to go to the expo with Gregory.
