Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 254

Kasie felt a warm feeling course throughout her body. She tried to stay calm and pulled Emmett closer to her, who was seriously looking at the diamond rings. "I was just kidding, Emmett! I haven't even graduated yet. I don't want to spend my school life with a baby in my belly. Don't propose to me now."

Emmett shook his head helplessly. "Kasie, you fool. We can get engaged now and we'll get married after you graduate."

His words touched Kasie. Tears threatened to fall from her reddened eyes. But she pretended to be angry and chided, "Be honest! Are you rushing your proposal just to save a meal? Our parents haven't met each other yet. Do you think I'll be taken in so easily? Humph, no way!"

The truth was that she wanted to marry Emmett as soon as possible too. But on second thoughts, she didn't want to rush things because they had only been together for a short period. After all, marriage was a huge event in a person's life, especially for a woman. She wanted to thoroughly consider this before making a final decision.

Emmett nodded understandingly. "You have a point there. I'll wait until you graduate. And then, I'll ask my parents to speak to your parents about our marriage."

Through her tear-filled eyes, Kasie saw a beautiful future unfolding in front of her. She said with a fake pout, "Then it's settled. If you don't officially propose when I graduate, you'll be a cheating dog. And if I don't say yes when you do, I'll be the cheating dog."

Emmett considered her words for a few seconds. As if waking up from a confusion, he corrected himself immediately, "You got me wrong, Kasie! What I meant was that I'd propose to you after your junior year, not your senior year! You will not be taking the postgraduate entrance exam, right? If so, let's make it earlier. I'll propose to you at the end of this semester and ask for your parents' blessing."

"What?! So soon? There's only one semester left in that case." Although she wanted to marry him soon, she felt a semester's time was too short.

"Yeah. I need to ask Mr. Huo for leave a few months in advance. I may need at least a month off to prepare for our engagement and wedding. That's to say, I won't be working in July and I'll start earning for our family from August..." Emmett kept mumbling about their plan with a serious look on his face.

Kasie glowed with happiness as she watched her man carefully plan their future. He was obviously serious about their marriage.

She had missed out on Lewis, but now, she had Emmett, a much more reliable man. 'I'm so lucky that I found him...' she thought to herself, feeling blessed.

In the lounge

Carlos carefully put a band-aid on Debbie's scratched skin and then helped her put on the sneakers. "Try this and see if it's better," he said gently.

Debbie stood up from the sofa and walked a few steps. "Better. It doesn't hurt."

But the sneakers looked so weird with her evening dress. She felt awkward.

Carlos asked a person nearby to throw her high heels away. He turned to her and instructed, "Get some rest. I still have some things to handle."

After a pause, Debbie said hesitantly, "You go ahead with your work. Since you came here with Portia and I came with Gregory, I think we should go back home separately. I'll leave with him."

Carlos's face fell abruptly. He looked intently into her eyes and requested sternly, "No way! Wait for me here. Don't go anywhere or with anyone else."

Debbie pouted and said in an unconvinced tone, "Yes, sir! As you wish. I'm gonna listen to you since there are so many people here. I don't want to make you look bad in front of them."

"Be good..." Carlos drew closer to her and whispered. "Wait for me and we'll go back home together, okay?"

Debbie nodded slowly. At that moment, she suddenly caught a glimpse of a woman standing a short distance away. In an instant, she drew closer to Carlos and wrapped her arms around his neck as she planted a kiss on his cheek. "Okay," she said sweetly.

Confused by her initiative kiss and the sweet smile on her face, Carlos discreetly scanned the hall out of the corner of his eye. As expected, he noticed some women and understood her little trick at once. Portia and Olga were among the women who were watching them from a short distance away.

He dotingly pinched her nose. "How dare you make use of me? You better pay me back when we're home."

Pretending innocence, she shrugged her shoulders and said in a helpless voice, "I have no choice. My husband is good at attracting all kinds of women. I have to drive them away, right?"
