Mr Carlos Huo, She's Your Wife novel Chapter 438

Stephanie grabbed a bath towel and draped it over Carlos' shoulders. Looking at him through tears, she said, "Carlos, you're finally back. I was so worried."

Carlos nodded without responding to her. He looked in Debbie's direction instead. Debbie was surrounded by all her friends, who were grateful she was happy and healthy. "Debbie," he called out.

Everyone's head turned in his direction. Even Debbie was surprised.

The other people from the rescue team had already left, so there were no outsiders around. Without taking his eyes off Debbie, Carlos declared bluntly, "Divorce Ivan. I'll marry you."

Dumbstruck, everyone lapsed into silence.

While everyone else was reeling from the shock, Debbie's mind was racing. 'Oh my God! In front of your fiancee? What were you thinking?"

That was not what everyone else was thinking, however.

Kinsley thought, 'Nice move, bud!'

Ivan complained, 'Wow, what about me?'

Kasie sighed, 'Oh man, poor Ivan!'

Niles marveled, 'She's so amazing! Especially if Carlos fell for her!'

Wesley snorted, 'She's got him hooked good.'

Blair exclaimed, 'Good for you, Debbie!'

Stephanie cursed, 'You backstabbing bitch! You'll pay for that!'

After the harrowing experience Debbie and Carlos went through, nobody was in the mood for a vacation. So, they canceled the rest of their plans and made arrangements to go home.

Debbie took a nice, hot bath after she returned home. Then, she slept the whole day in her own bed, too exhausted to do anything else.

However, compared to Debbie's relaxing day, Carlos was running around like a chicken with its head cut off. He needed to, as work had piled up while he was gone.

Without taking any time to de-stress, he asked Wesley, Damon and Frankie to come to his study in the manor. They had a long meeting. In the end, Carlos ordered Frankie in a serious tone, "I need comprehensive background checks. One, on James, and... Evelyn."

'Evelyn?' Confused, Frankie looked at his boss, whose deep, dark eyes betrayed nothing. Carlos explained calmly, "Debbie's child. James claimed she had an abortion three years ago. Find out if that's true."

Frankie finally understood. "Yes sir."

Carlos lit a cigarette and continued slowly, "Besides, I need to do a paternity test on Evelyn. And understand—discretion is required."

Damon's jaw dropped, his mouth open in shock. Sitting uneasily, he murmured in disbelief, "So, could Evelyn be the child that she supposedly aborted?"

Carlos shot him a cold glance and said nothing.

Carefully thinking about what had happened all these years, Wesley frowned and finally spoke. "I can see it."

Damon got flustered. In a panic, he looked at Carlos and said, "Oh shit. If that's true, then all those things I said to her... about her...All this time she was innocent?"

Damon's voice trailed off, but Carlos already understood what he wanted to say.

If James lied about everything, then she suffered for nothing. For three years, she had only herself to rely on. Thinking of it, he silently massaged his aching temples. It was getting to be too much to bear.
