True Love Waits

Chapter 170 Share Happiness And Sufferings

The concern that Emmett showed towards Debbie really touched her heart. "It's all right. I feel much better now, but it's nice of you to ask," she said with a friendly smile. "Emmett Zhong!" Carlos' voice sounded as cold as ice.

Emmett shifted his gaze to his boss and answered, "Yes, Mr. Huo!"

"Your heart must be broken now, huh?" Carlos asked, emotionless.

Emmett nodded honestly. He always had a tender heart for women. Besides, Debbie had always been nice to him.

Debbie somehow sensed something was not right with Carlos, and winked at Emmett.

However, Emmett didn't get her point. Instead, he asked innocently, "Mrs. Huo, what's wrong with your eyes? You got hurt? Shall we call a doctor over to check?"

Debbie was speechless. 'I did what I could, but he didn't get me. Can't he see that Carlos is in a terrible mood right now?' she wondered.

"Emmett, it seems that you care about my wife very much," Carlos said casually as he dabbed the ice pack onto Debbie's swollen cheek. He turned to Lewis, who had stood up from the floor, and ordered, "Lewis Huo, don't just stand there while this dumbass pokes his nose into my business. Strike him in the face!"

Only then did Emmett realize he had almost stepped on a landmine. His face turned pale.

With a cold smile, Carlos continued, "In this way, you can share in her happiness and suffering."

Debbie was at a loss for words. 'Carlos is way too possessive,' she thought.

"Please don't get me wrong, Mr. Huo. Ah, I remember I have something urgent to attend to. I'll take my leave now," said Emmett and quickly turned to leave.

about to step out of the door, Lewis blocked his way. "Emmett, you know, on this turf, I'll only play by my cousin's rules." Then without a second thought, he swung his clenched fist to strike. Only by a whisker did Emmett dodge. With quick darting steps, he retreated from Lewis
