To confirm the suspicion, he was smiling when her curious eyes met his


    “Yes. You’re a smart girl!”

    “Humph!” Debbie snorted. She was angry but couldn’t find a way to retort. ‘It’s not that I am weak, but


    you bang like a stallion on steroids!’ Debbie wanted to say, but she decided otherwise.


    “Okay, babe, I think I’ve got a name for your dog. Just call it Hum,” she said, trying to steer the


    conversation to something different.


    Carlos rolled his eyes resignedly.


    “Well…okay, as you please.”


    From now on, Debbie had one morepanion named Hum.


    In the afternoon, Carlos left for his work while Debbie stayed in the manor and continued to look around


    their new home.


    After he left, Debbie went to their bedroom. As she opened the door, she was surprised to see many


    packing bags that filled the table and the floor. Since the ce was full and a little disorganized, she


    chose to first sort out what was in those bags. She found that most of them were cosmetics and skin


    care products


    She recognized some of the packing bags. They were the cosmetics that she bought in Shining


    International zast time, in order to get the free trip to Maldives.


    But for the other skin care products, she didn’t know who had bought them and why there were so


    many. ‘Are they all bought by Carlos?’


    Unable to hold back her curiosity, she called Carlos for an answer.


    She was shocked to know that some of the skin care products were given to her by the parents of the


    naughty boy, who had been brought to the vi by Megan the other day.


    “And some of those items were flown inst week from Paris, by Mom.


    She strictly instructed me not to tell you until you walked into your new house. They are her house-


    warming bash for you. There’s a cab next to your dressing table where you can ce your


    cosmetics. If the cab is notrge enough, just tell me and I’ll change it to arger one,” Carlos told


    her on the other end.


    “Oh, my goodness!


    This… This is too extravagant for me!’ Debbie eximed in her mind.


    The number of pleasant surprises Carlos had pulled on Debbie in one day were just far too many.


    After ending the call, she looked at the cab. It was a customized wooden cab with gliding ss


    doors. On the upper part of the cab, the shelves were divided into smallpartments which would


    be convenient to store different items.


    Humming in joy, Debbie didn’t unwrap any of these packages. She simply stuffed them into the cab.


    But when her mind ran back to the biting levels of poverty she had recently seen first hand in Southon


    Vige, she began to wish they could return all the items for a refund. Up to thest cent, she would


    spend the money on improving living conditions in the vige.


    Overwhelmed bypassion on the weing but poor vigers over there in Southon Vige, she


    dejectedly slumped into bed, badly in need of a rest.


    When she woke up, it was already dark outside. Carlos hadn’te back yet for he had a lot of work to


    finish before the New Year. She would have dinner on her own.


    When she came downstairs, she found that the chef and his beautiful female assistant were busy at


    work in the kitchen. In a few minutes, mouth-watering dinner was served.


    Before grabbing her chopsticks, Debbie called Carlos. Just as she guessed, he was too busy toe


    back for dinner. Despite feeling a jolt of loneliness, she understood why. He had already abandoned his


    schedule to pick her up from the Southon Vige. Earlier, he had received quite a few business calls,


    even in the car. All his time was devoted to either flirting with her or dealing with work.
