Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 383

Looking at the empty bowl in front of Carlos, Piggy said cheerfully, "Uncle, you like wontons?"

Carlos nodded, "Yeah. It's yummy." Then he started on the beef and noodles.

Debbie walked out of the kitchen in an apron, holding a plate filled with a variety of sliced fruit. "Here, Piggy, have some fruit with Uncle. I bought your favorite cherries."

"Thanks, Mommy!" Piggy got to her feet and shot towards the bathroom to wash her hands.

Placing the plate on the table, Debbie followed Piggy into the washroom. "Hold on, honey. Mommy turns on the tap."

Watching their retreating figures, Carlos couldn't help but smile.

Piggy was the first one back to the dining room. She took a cherry from the plate, stood on tiptoe and raised it to Carlos' lips. "Uncle, eat this. It's my favorite."

Debbie just entered the dining room. Knowing about his obsession with cleanliness, she rushed over to stop Piggy. "Piggy, give it to Mommy. Uncle is eating noodles. He can't eat cherries while eating noodles, right? You can save some for him."

Piggy stared at her mom in confusion. "Noodles and cherries. Eat both. You do."

Debbie was lost for words. She didn't expect Piggy to have such a good memory.

As she was trying to come up with another excuse, Carlos raised Piggy's hand, lowered his head and ate the cherry. After eating it, he gave Piggy a thumbs-up. "Wow, it's so sweet! Thank you, Evelyn. You're a good girl."

Again, Debbie didn't know how to respond. 'So is he not a clean freak anymore? Or is that just for Piggy?'

After devouring the noodles, Carlos returned to eating cherries with Piggy. Debbie went back to the kitchen to clean the dishes.

Piggy suddenly asked Carlos, "Uncle, you have kids?"

"Nope." Carlos picked up a strawberry with a fruit fork and put it to Piggy's lips. Somehow, he loved feeding her. In his eyes, Piggy was the most adorable kid in the world. How he wished he could have a daughter like her!

"Uncle, may I call you Daddy? I have a Daddy Ivan and Daddy Yates," Piggy asked with a hopeful expression. She really liked Carlos a lot.

Debbie, who was listening to their conversation all the time, dropped the rag in her hand to the sink and ran towards them. "Piggy, be good! Are you done eating?" The words tumbled out of her mouth; she spoke rapidly and breathlessly. "Time to take a shower and go to bed," she added, her voice still betraying a bit of anxiety.

Suddenly, Carlos grabbed Debbie by her arm and asked in a cold voice, "Why don't you want me to get close to Evelyn?"

Debbie opened her mouth, but no words came out. 'Is it that obvious?' she thought.

With an embarrassed smile, she stammered, "Oh n-no. It's not that. It's... Piggy has a lot of...godfathers. Don't take her too seriously." In her mind, she yelled, 'You are her biological father. You can't be her godfather.'

"You're afraid of something. What is it?" he asked.

Debbie's thoughts were all mixed up. She was unable to come up with a perfect excuse now. "I... What are you talking about? You're imagining things." She lowered her head and pretended to untie her apron to hide her true feelings.

Carlos looked at Piggy, who was staring at them with her round eyes, and said in a soft voice, "Evelyn, you can tell me whatever you want, and I will do as you say."

'He spoils Piggy so much! I'm kind of jealous, actually, ' Debbie thought to herself.

Piggy hesitated. As a sensitive child, she could tell that her mom was not happy. "I...I just want cherries." After saying that, she picked up a cherry and popped it into her mouth, without saying another word.

Carlos stood up and said, "I need to go back home now. Evelyn, go to bed early. Goodbye."

Mother and daughter looked at his receding figure.
