Chapter 54
Chapter: 55
“I have something urgent to finish. So I'll be leaving now.”
“Well, actually I can call him Uncle. He's so strict with me that he reminds me of
my father. But, * Debbie thought, still trapped in her own musings, “if I really call
him Uncle, he will surely get irritated.
The young lady refrained from voicing out her thoughts, for if she did, it would
throw out her entire plan of not getting on the wrong side of her husband.
But upon hearing Debbie call him “Sir’, Carlos could not help but furrow his brows
while saying nothing for a while. Gracefully, he wiped his lips with a napkin, and
said,” I'll drive you to the university after you have breakfast.”
He then opened his laptop, burying himself with his work. Once again, his walls
were up.
Although Debbie wanted to turn him down, she decided against speaking up. The
young lady could already imagine how he would react if she insisted on going to
the university on her own. She did not want to be frozen to death by his cold
glare. Nor did she want to be thrown into the sea or buried alive. Well, not again.
In a slow and cautious manner, Debbie walked over to the expensive mahogany
dining table and sat as far away from him as possible.
There was no question about how good Julie was at cooking. But Debbie simply
had no appetite at all. His presence made it difficult for her to enjoy her meal.
While putting food into her mouth, she kept stealing glances at Carlos every now
and then. It was like she was not anticipating the slightest sound coming from her
to annoy him. By the time she finished her breakfast, her forehead was wet with
sweat.
The lady stared at her hands under the table. A stomachache this morning did
not seem out of the question.
When Carlos noticed that she was done, he stood up, picked up his briefcase
from the couch, and headed towards the entrance.
Sighing with profound resignation, Debbie grabbed her backpack and followed
after him.
When she got out of the house, there was a black car parked right before her.
Something about the vehicle appeared to be very striking, but she could not quite
point a finger at it. Through the car window, she saw that Carlos was sitting in the
back seat. Groaning, she did not approach the car at once. Where should she
sit? Next to him in the back seat?
The mere prospect of being close to him sent shivers down her spine.
“No, “ she thought stubbornly, “I do not want to die out of fright!
Hm. but maybe I can sit in the passenger seat.’ The young Lady was too focused
on staying away from Carlos to notice he was running out of patience.
“I have no time to wait for you,” he stated from inside the car. The harshness in
his voice brought Debbie back to her senses. Darting towards the car, she
opened the door of the passenger seat. To her disappointment, however, it was
already occupied by Carlos’ belongings.
Left with no choice, she could only shut the door and sit behind with him. As
Carlos was sitting on the left, she took the right side.
Neither of them spoke another word while the car moved slowly. Casting a glance
at Debbie from the car window, Philip noticed the girl lean against the car door,
averting Carlos as if he were the plague.
Sighing, he thought, “Debbie used to be a cheerful and lively girl. Now that she’s
in front of Carlos, she looks so cautious and reserved. She must be frightened of
him.

It looked so comical, as though she were being chased by some fierce animal.
