True Love Waits

Chapter 1302 Can't Do Anything

"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!"

"Sit down first." Carlos nodded in greeting.

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!"
