"Cutie?" Debbie couldn't knock off the feeling of goose bumps all over her body. Yet, the smile playing on her lips had already said it all. "Knock it off," she snapped. "Ask someone to bring some fresh fish here. I'll make some soup for Rika."
"Yes, honey." Carlos had always been obedient to his wife.
In the evening, Owen drove Erica to the manor first. He didn't leave until he made sure that the CEO's wife was safe inside the house.
In the living room, Debbie was already waiting for her. She had prepared a plate of fresh fruits, beautifully-shaped desserts and peeled nuts for her.
Seeing her come in, the older woman stopped whatever she was doing and walked towards her. "Rika, you're here. Come and eat some fruits first."
A sweet smile threaded across Erica's lips. "Dad, Mom!"

As if she was taking care of a little baby, Debbie pulled out a chair for her and helped her sit down. Finally, she placed her hand on the young woman's already bulging belly. "I've always been wondering why you're showing so early," she stated. "It turns out that you're carrying twins!"
"I didn't expect that I'd be carrying two babies either. I wonder if they're two boys or girls," Erica said thoughtfully. It was still too early to figure out their gender, so everyone was free to guess.
Debbie sat down next to her and handed her a slice of melon. "Do you want them to be boys or girls?"
"Well," she started with a pout. "Boys. Maybe then I wouldn't feel so guilty if I discipline them." If they were girls, she probably wouldn't have the heart to hit them. Knowing Matthew, he'd also be more inclined to spoil them to death.
Debbie also smiled. "If you want boys, then they will be boys." She waved her hand. "Given your genes, they'll also be handsome when they grow up."
"Thank you, Mom!"
Thinking of Matthew, Carlos sat opposite them. He crossed his arms and leaned back. "I think girls will be nice," he commented. "Maybe they'll be like Rika—all lively and adorable."
"Please, we all know you just want granddaughters." Debbie snorted.
Erica giggled. She had already guessed that her father-in-law would want a granddaughter rather than a grandson.
"Just take Gwyn, Godwin, and Godfrey as examples," he defended. "Look how obedient Gwyn is compared to the two boys. She's less tr
he seemed, ' Carlos thought with a shake of his head.
"What?" Erica exclaimed. 'A man expressing his love for a woman?' She was completely dumbfounded. That was when she thought of another problem. 'Does that mean that Can't Do Anything loves me?'
She explained to the two elders, "Dad, Mom, please don't misunderstand. I don't even talk to him that much. If you didn't tell me just now, I wouldn't even know what his username means."
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAmused by her defensiveness, Carlos reached out his hand to stop her. "Don't worry, dear. We trust you." His eyes glinted. "Besides, I know who the man is."
Debbie furrowed her eyebrows. "You do? Who is he? Why is he so mysterious?"
"I have the same questions! Who is he? Please tell us, Dad." The two women both stared at Carlos with their eyes wide with expectations.
However, Carlos simply stood up from his seat and said, "Rika, there are so many wonderful things in life just waiting for you to discover them. For example, there's a person in this world who loves you very much."
'Alas! The brat actually hid his feelings well!' He laughed to himself.
Back then, when he angrily asked Matthew to keep his distance from Phoebe, the young man didn't bother to explain himself.
If it weren't for Carlos opening Matthew's safe to get an important file, he wouldn't have seen Erica's picture. It was then that he came to know that his son had fallen in love with the young girl a long time before.
They all said that Carlos didn't treat his son well, but in fact, he had just given his son the best thing in the world.
