'How does he know everything about me? Mikayla wondered, feeling a bit exposed around Carlos.

"Carlos, you're so nice to Mikayla, Natasha exclaimed, casting an envious glance toward Mikayla.

"Of course he does! Mikayla will be his wife. Who else should he treat well!" Selena remarked, her eyes twinkling with affection for her seemingly clueless daughter. "That's right, a husband should always treat his wife well," Natasha agreed, smiling sweetly.
