Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 384

Carlos heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Piggy say that. Piggy added, "I'm a kid. I can sleep with Uncle Carlos. Stay?"

Debbie chipped in, "Piggy, Uncle Carlos needs to go home now."

"Sure, Evelyn. You're so adorable. How am I supposed to even say no? How about this? Let your mommy bathe you first. I have to go home and shower. I'll come back to keep you company after that. Okay?"

Debbie rolled her eyes and wondered, 'Come on! I'm the mom. Don't I get a say in this? He can't spoil Piggy like this!'

Piggy was thrilled, jumping up and down and clapping her hands. Then she ran towards Debbie and held her hand saying, "Give me a bath."

"Okay." Debbie had no other choice than to do as Piggy said.

Carlos looked at the dumbfounded woman and said with a meaningful expression, "You should probably grab a shower too. Get ready."

"What?" She didn't get his point.

Ignoring her confusion, he said goodbye to Piggy and left the apartment.

As soon as he was out of sight, Piggy practically dragged Debbie to the bathroom pulling her by the wrist. Debbie almost lost her balance. "Mommy, hurry up!"

Sighing in defeat, Debbie felt like she should talk with Piggy, because she didn't want to lose her one day. While drawing water into the bathtub, she told Piggy, "Honey, listen. We used to sleep in the same bedroom. If you and Uncle Carlos sleep together, where do I sleep? I'm a woman, and I can't sleep together with a man, right?"

Sitting on a small chair in the bathroom, Piggy tilted her head to look at her mom and said, "The other bedroom." She even consoled Debbie, "We'll be close. If you're scared..." She thought for a while and offered, "Uncle Carlos can sleep with you after."

Debbie was rendered speechless. 'Piggy, you know what? That just gave me a great idea.'

In the apartment on the sixth floor

When Carlos entered, Stephanie had just come back. She took his suit jacket from him and asked with concern, "Did you eat, Carlos?"

"Mmm hmm," he simply answered.

Stephanie hung the jacket on the hanger. Then she saw something on it. She hadn't remembered the jacket having any adornment.

She took a closer look and found it was a sticker of Peppa Pig. She pulled it from the jacket and asked Carlos, "Where did this come from?"

'Why would a sticker of Peppa Pig be on Carlos' jacket?' she thought.

Carlos was still drinking the glass of water he poured, and cast a casual glance at the sticker in her hand. "I played with a little girl today, and maybe she stuck it on my jacket."

'A little girl? Since when has he been interested in kids, much less playing with them?' Stephanie thought in confusion.

She didn't press him any more on this. Instead, she threw the sticker into the trash bin and said, "I've got overtime. I'll head to the study. Go to bed early."

"Mmm hmm."

Stephanie was used to his aloofness. He wasn't interested in a conversation, and he didn't have time. Saying nothing more, she went to the study with her phone and a glass of water.

After Debbie bathed Piggy and took her out of the bathroom, Carlos was already waiting in the bedroom in pajamas. Debbie was taken aback when she saw him.

She heaved a sigh and went to the bathroom to take a bath herself, leaving father and daughter alone. While she was splashing in the bath, she could hear their happy laughter from time to time.

She even heard Piggy ask Carlos, "Uncle Carlos, I love you. Why? You are handsome."
