Hayden that she had agreed to marry Carlos in a fit of pique. Their marriage
certificate had been issued on her birthday that year.
The reason why Carlos had agreed to marry Debbie was that he respected his
grandfathers advice. From Carlos’ childhood, Douglas had dedicated his time
and money to his grandson's education.
When weak, frail and advanced in age Douglas sat Carlos down and
recommended Debbie for a wife, it made sense.
At that time, Carlos was a workaholic with virtually no time for anything else.
Shortly after, Douglas had been hospitalized, in a coma, before he could let
anyone in on his grandson's marriage. It didn’t help that
Carlos was overextended in time. So much that he hurtled from meeting to
meeting, place to place, the world over for business. Until gradually, he had
completely forgotten about his wife.
Debbie didn’t know the story behind this. She and Carlos had been married for
three years, yet had barely known each other until several months ago.
“Your grandpa is still in a coma. When your dad gets to know this, I'm pretty sure
he'll throw a tantrum,” said Tabitha in a worried voice.
That was a real source of concern for her. If there was one thing that
Tabitha didn’t Like in James, it was his quick temper. Over the years, she had
learnt to wisely avoid unnecessary strife with her husband. But it wasn't lost on
her that if triggered, he could be unreasonable.
And there was no way to tell how he'd receive his son’s marriage to
Debbie.
Sensing that his mom was worried, Carlos stood up from his seat, walked up to
Tabitha and assured in a calm tone, “Mom, just leave it to me.
There's no need to fret.”
He didn’t want her to be blamed for the decision. If anything, his grandpa’s word
was enough. The only problem was that chances of Douglas ever making it
safely at the hospital were infinitesimal.
Eventually, Tabitha agreed to stay her calm, and hoped that James would be
rational enough not to throw a hissy fit when Carlos finally got to introduce
Debbie as his wife.
“Well, then, when are you going to take Debbie to see the rest of our family?”
Tabitha asked. A couple of years back, the Hilton and Lopez families had all
moved abroad, which meant Carlos would need good planning of his otherwise
busy schedule to take Debbie for introductions.
“I think it won't take long. It's time to visit Grandpa and Grandma,” answered
Carlos. It had been three months since he had last visited them. And the New
Year was drawing near. Carlos planned to take Debbie to see his family to
celebrate the New Year together this year.
“ALL right. Carlos, don’t stay up Late. I just saw Debbie doing yoga in her
bedroom. She must be bored. Why not keep her company? I really hope you two
can have a baby. I'd be glad to babysit my own grandchild.”
Both the mother and the son beamed with delight at the mention of a baby.
