Carlos had changed from a cruel and imperious CEO to a loving husband who spoiled his wife to the


    hilt.


    Kasie wasn’t convinced though.


    “Aren’t you exaggerating?”


    Emmett squinted at her.


    “No, I’m not. I’m telling the truth. You’re too young to understand these kinds of things.” He still


    remembered how passionately Carlos stared at Debbie on their way back from Southon


    Vige. ‘Carlos was Like a beast stalking its prey the whole way. If I hadn’t been there driving the car


    and Debbie hadn’t been too shy, he probably would’ve had sex with her straightaway in the car. I think


    he must have had a hard time controlling himself back then, ‘ Emmett thought.


    Kasie let out a cold hum.

    “What did you say? I’m too young? Huh! I’UL be an undergraduate very soon. Don’t take me for a kid,


    okay?”


    “Yes, yes. You’re not a kid, but I’m a few years older than you. In my eyes, you’re just a kid. By the way,


    could you please dye your hair ck again? You don’t Look good with the yellow hair.”


    “Yellow hair? But this is brown!’ Kasie sulked.


    “I think we have nothing inmon. Goodbye!” she said and turned around to leave. In fact, she had


    intended to dye her hair ck before the new semester, because students were not allowed to dye


    their hair.


    Right then, a middle-aged woman in pajamas came downstairs. Seeing


    Kasie, she asked curiously, “Kasie, who’s this guy?”


    Emmett assumed that this woman might be one of Kasie’s neighbors. In a good mood, he decided to


    make fun of Kasie. i! Nice to meet you, he said yfully.


    “I’m Kasie’s boyfriend.”


    Kasie was taken aback by Emmett’s mischievous joke. She hastily exined to the middle-aged


    woman, “He’s just kidding. He’s only a friend.”


    Emmett smiled and waved at her.


    “I should get going. Bye Kasie


    “Hey, wait! Young man, don’t Leave!” the woman suddenly called out to stop Emmett.


    Confused, Emmett turned around. The woman stepped forward, observing him from head to toe, and


    asked, “So how long have you two been dating?


    How old are you? Come inside, please. Have a drink. You can meet her father too.”


    ‘What? Meet her father? So this woman is Kasie’s mother? Oh, Jesus!’


    Regret filled Emmett’s heart. He shouldn’t have made a joke Like that!


    He had told this woman he was Kasie’s boyfriend. ‘Well, that’s another fine mess you’ve gotten yourself


    into, Emmett.*


    He straightened up, returning to his usual calm and serious self, just like at work. He said to the woman


    politely, “Oh, so you’re Kasie’s mother. Nice to meet you. I’m sorry for my joke. I’m actually one of her


    friends, but not a boyfriend. Sorry for the misunderstanding.”
