Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 304

Carlos twitched his mouth awkwardly, trying to force a smile. He almost never smiled, but now he did it just to make Debbie happy. It didn't look convincing, it looked sad.

Before the wedding ceremony started, Megan arrived at the venue. She called Wesley at the entrance, and he left the table to guide her inside.

He hadn't brought Blair with him today, so Megan took a seat next to him, cautiously.

She greeted the others. They responded stiffly, as if it were just a formality. There was little warmth left there. Soon, their minds were on something else. Debbie went on talking to Adriana, and Carlos continued watching over Debbie nervously. Damon talked to him from time to time, but Carlos barely acknowledged him.

Then the emcee announced that the wedding ceremony was about to begin.

This was the first time Debbie had ever been to a wedding. She was amazed at how sumptuous and dreamlike everything was. The music, the lighting, the decorations, the wardrobe. It was incredible.

When Colleen appeared in her wedding dress, Debbie's eyes glistened with admiration. The sacred white wedding gown was so beautiful that any woman would think it was the perfect wedding dress.

Noticing that she seemed engrossed, Carlos gave her hand a light squeeze. Debbie glanced at him and turned her attention to the bride and the bridegroom again. "Colleen is so beautiful today! Her dress is amazing. Look at them. They're so perfect together!" she said excitedly.

"You like that dress?" Carlos asked. And that was when he suddenly realized what a lousy husband he'd been.

He hadn't even given Debbie a proper wedding, the most treasured thing in a woman's life.

"Yes, it's gorgeous!" Debbie responded without looking at him. Drawn in by the sweet moment when the bride and the bridegroom exchanged rings, she didn't sense the subtle changes in his tone and expression.

Carlos said nothing else. He was putting together a plan.

When the new couple's parents were asked to come up on stage, the happiness and excitement drained from Debbie's face.

The couple that stepped onstage were her grandparents, the ones she resented.

For the first time, she would be face to face with them, in public. Her grandpa, Elroy Lu, was an 82-year-old man with gray hair and a gray beard. His creased face wore a wide smile.

His wife, Sybil Qin, was 57. Before she had given birth to Curtis and Gus, Elroy Lu had already had three other kids with his first wife, including Ramona, Debbie's birth mother. After Ramona's mother had died, he had married Sybil Qin.

So, Elroy Lu had five kids altogether.

Carlos had told Debbie that Elroy split her parents up.

"Go for a walk?" Carlos whispered in her ear when he noticed her downcast face.

Debbie shook her head. "Isn't my... isn't he coming? He's Curtis' nephew after all," she asked. She had met every member of the Lu family except her brother.

'Curtis' nephew? She means her brother, ' Carlos thought. He stroked her hand and said, "He... Elroy told him not to."

Actually, not only him. Elroy Lu would have thrown Debbie out if she hadn't come here with Carlos. The benefits of being Carlos' wife.

Debbie smiled bitterly. She was smart enough to know that if she weren't Carlos' wife, she wouldn't have been allowed to be there either.

She swallowed the bitterness and joked, "Hey honey. I guess that's one more perk of being married to you. He can't kick me out."

Carlos could see that she was pretending to be strong despite the pain. His heart ached. "No, Curtis would have put his foot down there."
