Soon after, he Lit another cigarette and continued smoking again
Debbie was overwhelmed with anxious thoughts. ‘Say something, okay?
Whatever you want to do to me, just go ahead and say it! Don’t leave me in suspense!’
After a brief pause, she broke the silence.
“Carlos, I’ll go and fetch some fruits for you.” With a flattering smile, she eagerly looked at the man in front of her, waiting for his response.
However, a few minutes passed, and he still hadn’t said anything.
Disappointed, Debbie furrowed her eyebrows and walked towards the kitchen.
She took out an avocado, some cherries and some grapes, and arranged them nicely on a plate. Before long, she came out of the kitchen and placed the plate on the table in front of him.
“Um, please have some fruits.” Debbie gave him a gentle smile and handed him a fruit fork.
Yet, silence still lingered over the room like an impending doom.
Carlos threw the cigarette butt into the ashtray and Looked back at her, completely ignoring the fact that she had been holding a fork in her hand for him.
Carlos had always treated Debbie like a child instead of his wife. ALL he wanted was for her to be a good person with a proper education, but he had gotten in way over his head.
Finally, she grew impatient of keeping her hand raised for such a long time.
“Never mind!” She threw the fork back onto the plate.
‘What do I have to do to appease him? I have never fawned on anyone at university.
However, I spent 188 thousand on a present for him just to make him happy. Why is he still so angry at me? Did I spend all that money for nothing? It seems to me that his attitude towards me hasn’t changed one bit. I can’t keep buying him presents to make him happy. It isn’t feasible, ‘ Debbie reflected.
Carlos raised an eyebrow, and looked at the fork Debbie had thrown onto the fruit tray with an expressionless face. ‘Finally she can’t take it anymore. I just want her to behave like an upstanding citizen of society. Is that too much to ask for?’
“Go to your room. You are grounded for one week!” Carlos shifted his stern gaze towards her.
“Grounded for one week? You’ve got to be kidding me!’ Debbie’s eyes and her mouth were frozen wide open in an expression of stunned surprise.
She would rather have him give her a tongue-lashing or a good flogging instead of keeping her confined at home.
“I object!” She walked towards Carlos, pouting willfully.
Object? The word was alien to Carlos’ ears. No one had ever dared to defy him before.
Without hesitation, he cast a cold glance at the girl standing in front of him and said, “Denied.”
His tone sounded even colder than the expression on his face.
For a moment, Debbie wanted to give up the fight. Judging by the look on his face, she thought it would be a cold day in hell before he would agree to withdraw his punishment.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
