True Love Waits

"Son? You're back!" What a surprise! Debbie let go of Carlos and ran towards her son excitedly. "Son, why did you come back all of a sudden? Didn't you say you wouldn't come back until the day before your sister's birthday?"

With a faint smile on his face, Matthew cast a glance at his excited mother and hugged her back. "I've had a lot of free time lately and I heard that Father's been on a spending spree so I came back to find out i he has a mistress."

Even though Matthew was studying in a university in another country, he managed the company's affairs in his free time.

Carlos' face darkened with displeasure when he heard Matthew's words. The boy had always been a pain in the ass. He turned to his son and said sarcastically, "What a good son you are, worrying about your old man even when you're not here."

"Yes," Matthew retorted. Then he turned to Debbie. "Mom, I only came back to check on how things are going around here. If he really does have a mistress, I can take you away from here so that you'll never have to see him again."

Debbie had long gotten used to the cynicism between father and son. She patted Matthew's hand as she said, "Son, like I told you before, you just focus on your studies. Don't worry about the company. It'll only be additional stress for you."

"Mother, you don't have to worry about me. All I do is study. I'm not tired." Matthew was a reserved man. He mostly kept to himself and wouldn't hang out with his classmates in his free time. He was a loner. "Okay, let's go home. Evelyn and Terilynn are home tonight." Debbie held his arm and made their way to the entrance of the house.

When they passed by Carlos, the old man took Debbie to his side and rebuked, "Why do you bother to talk to this brat? He wants to take you away from me forever. Come and walk with me. Stay away from him."

Debbie rolled her eyes and sighed helplessly. "Carlos Huo, you're being childish."

With a disgusted look on his face, Matthew echoed, "Yes, childish!"

Carlos raised his hand in an attempt to slap his son, but Matthew merely said in a calm voice, "Mom..."

It was not until then that Debbie realized Carlos had already raised his hand. She raised her hand too and hit him on his arm. "If you hurt our son, who will help you run the company in the future? And who will take me to travel around the world?"

Carlos had promised her that after Matthew took over the company, they would travel around the world.
