Chapter: 148


    You know for a fact that I’m currently studying. Who knows, the two of us might even get a di—”


    Meeting Carlos’ eyes, she swallowed back the word “divorce” and didn’t dare toplete her


    sentence.


    Carlos was holding a ss in one hand with a firm grip. He was now staring at her with fierce eyes as if


    he were going to kill her right that instant if she dared to say that word.


    She really couldn’t understand why he hated so much to divorce her.


    “Oh for heaven’s sake! Why can’t you just sign the di— Fine, I won’t say the word again. Don’t look at


    me like that. I’m really serious. Did my father give you arge fortune with the condition that you must


    be my husband your whole life?” She really couldn’t find another eptable reason except for this one.


    Normally, marriage should be based on love. But she didn’t love him, and she didn’t fancy the idea that


    he loved her. ‘Wait, is there a possibility that he fell in love with me?‘ Thinking about this, she couldn’t


    help but burst into Laughter.


    ‘How’s that possible? A rich and powerful man Like Carlos would never fall in love with a boyish girl like


    me,“ she mused.


    Carlos poured a ss of water, gave it to her and said, “Are you not thirsty? You’ve been talking since


    we arrived.”


    “Uh… I am.” She took the ss over and drank all the water with one gulp. All of a sudden, she felt


    hungry. Although there had been lots of delicious dishes prepared at the gathering this evening, she


    had no appetite and had barely eaten.


    It was past 8 p.m. and she wanted to leave the vi and grab something to eat.


    “Carlos, I want to go out to eat something. Are youing with me?” she invited.

    Carlos just looked at her, saying nothing.


    She didn’t know what was on his mind and assumed that he didn’t want to. She took out her phone and


    said, “Since you’re noting with me,


    I’m calling my friend toe with me.”


    Iho?”


    “Jared. I guess he hasn’t eaten anything either.” Before she was able to dial his number, her phone was


    snatched away by the man.


    Carlos turned off her phone, put it in his pocket and walked towards the gates.


    While putting his shoes on, he said, “Grab the car keys. You’re driving.”


    “Oh! Okay.” She nodded; for her, it would be a good idea since she knew he had drunk much this


    evening.


    She drove the BMW cautiously. When she stopped at a red light, she tilted her head and stole a look at


    the man who was taking a rest in his seat with his eyes shut.


    “Carlos, call your Lawyer now!” she demanded.


    Although Carlos had heard Debbie’s words clearly, he didn’t respond, choosing to look out the car


    window instead.


    “You are not calling yourwyer? Fine! I’ll call Emmett and ask him to call yourwyer!” Debbie said as


    she called out the address book on the vehicle navigation screen


    “Without my consent, he won’t call thewyer.” The man finally opened his mouth to speak.


    “Then call him!” she demanded.


    “Focus on driving. I’m a man of my word. I won’t rescind my decision.”
