Burning Passion: Love Never Die

“I’m not saying you can’t work. It’s just that you’re still in school.

You should be studying, not working. If you study hard and pay attention, you’ll be awesome at whatever you decide to do.” Although she was a wonderful woman in Carlos’ eyes, she’d have to deal with all kinds of people. If she focused in college, she’d have a better handle on that, and know better what to do. He wanted her ready for all kinds of situations.

Debbie nodded. She knew he was right. Besides, a lot of her classmates had told her that she changed into a better and more graceful woman.

She was happier, more confident, and more respectful.

She knew Carlos did that for her and she appreciated it.

After all, what kind of girl in their right mind wouldn’t want to better themselves? She had hoped to become her best self too before she met Carlos, but she had never really tried. She didn’t have much money, and she had no idea how to make her dreams come true. Not to mention she lacked self- discipline. Carlos was everything she wanted in a man.

Not only did Carlos provide everything for Debbie materially, but he also supervised her school performance whenever possible. It just didn’t make sense for her to slack.

Taking a deep breath, Debbie bragged with a smile, “I’ll be more successful than you are. I’ll take over your position and make you stay at home to take care of the house. If you upset me, I’ll make you stand barefoot on a porcupine. And, if you make me happy, I may take you outside for a vacation. It feels great just thinking about it.” She laughed.

Amused by the gloating look on her face, Carlos chuckled. He kissed her hand and said, “I’m looking forward to the day that your aspirations are fulfilled and you take over my position. I’ll be glad to take

care of our baby at home and cook for you for the rest of our lives.”

He couldn’t help but smile as the scene played out in his mind.

Hearing him mention the word “baby,” Debbie blushed as she felt her heart leap in her chest. ‘Having a baby with him would make me unbelievably happy, ‘ she thought to herself.

ALL of a sudden there was a knock on the door, which startled Debbie out of her day dreaming. Pulling her hand away from Carlos’ grip, she picked up the glass of juice on the table, pretending to take a sip.

Carlos’ hand was left motionless in midair. He was so surprised by her reaction, for a moment, he forgot to put his hand down.

“Debbie, is it so embarrassing to be with me?” he asked quietly.

Clueless to the pain that her reaction had inflicted upon her husband,

Debbie asked in confusion, “What? Of course not.” In fact, it was quite the contrary. Debbie wished the whole world knew Carlos was her husband.

It was just that Carlos’ identity was too significant, so she wanted to be inconspicuous.

Remembering the person at the door, Carlos answered, “Come in!” The door opened and the waiters entered holding numerous dishes in their arms. It was time to eat.

The dishes were served efficiently. As the waiters left the room,

Carlos began putting food onto Debbie’s plate for her to eat. He continued to do this until she was stuffed. Afraid that she still wasn’t full yet, Carlo offered to order even more dishes.

Before he could call the waiters back, Debbie grabbed his hand, put it on her belly and said, “I’m so full. Touch my belly and check it out yourself.”

Assured that her belly was bulging out, Carlos closed the menu with one hand, while his other hand moved upward away from her belly.

“Carlos!” Debbie yelled, grabbing his rogue hand.

A satisfied smirk flitted over his face. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

“Let’s go.” Carlos stood up as if nothing had happened.
