Chapter 297
At Hilton Group, Carlos was listening to one of his secretaries, Zelda, do a report in his office when his phone rang. The caller ID said it was his mom.
“Carlos, that’s all. I’ll leave it at that.” When Zelda realized it was a personal call, she put the file on the desk and excused herself.
Once she stepped out and closed the door behind her, Carlos took the call.
“Hello, Mom,” he greeted.
“Son, did I catch you at a bad time?” Tabitha Lowell asked in a gentle voice.
“No, not at all. What’s up?”
“Your father and I saw the news this morning. Did you…” Tabitha didn’t finish her sentence.
Carlos knew what she was trying to ask.
“Yes, Mom, it’s true,” he admitted.
“Then bring her home, please. Your father and I would like to meet her. Nôvel(D)rama.Org's content.

“Okay then. I’LL Let you go back to work. Take care of yourself. Okay?”
“Sure. I will, Mom. Bye.”
Hanging up the phone, Carlos looked out the window, deep in thought.

Therefore, till now, his parents still hadn’t known about the marriage.

Out of the bathroom, Kasie suddenly dragged Debbie in her arms and asked in a whisper, “Tomboy, tell me, last night, did you and
Carlos…Huh?” Instead of finishing her sentence, she gave Debbie a mischievous wink.
Hearing last night mentioned, Debbie yanked her hand free and rolled her eyes at Kasie. Her face turned red.
“You know it all, don’t you?”
“I have some clues, sweetie,” said Kasie in a naughty tone.
