Debbie shook Carlos’ hands off and walked up the stairs. He started after her.
She suddenly turned around and shouted at him, “Don't follow me. Leave me
alone.”
Before Carlos could say anything, Megan stepped backwards as if she were
intimidated by Debbie, and Valerie stood up from the couch.
“Debbie Nelson!” she shouted imperiously.
“Don't talk to my grandson that way! He's your husband! The husband is always
right!”
“The husband is always right?’ Debbie rolled her eyes secretly. “This woman is
positively medieval!*
She wanted to say something back. But on second thought, Valerie was
Carlos’ grandma, so she bit back the words she would Like to have said.
Putting his hands in his pockets, Carlos chimed in, “Grandma, you're wrong. It's
the 21st century, and a wife has as much power as her husband when it comes
to family. Please stay out of it, Grandma. Megan, keep Grandma company.”
After saying that, he grabbed Debbie's hand and walked up the stairs.
Although Debbie had lost her temper at him in front of his family,
Carlos made his stand clear and defended her. Valerie couldn't believe her ears.
“Carlos used to be a proud man. I didn't expect him to defend such a rude
woman. *
She grabbed her walking stick tighter.
“Women have as much power?” she retorted.
“Only when she’s from a family of equal social rank. What kind of family does she
come from? A rich and powerful one?
“ “Ah, that's why no one in his family likes me, * Debbie mused.
Bitterness flooded her as she lowered her head to hold back her tears.
Carlos was angered by Valerie’s words. Despite the fact that he was still mad at
his wife, he felt he should defend her against his own grandma. And he also felt
he shouldn't have to. Debbie was his wife. He chose to love her, marry her, and
spend his life with her. This was his choice, not his family’s. And it was ridiculous
to think that he didn’t have a say in this. Why did they think they had a say,
anyway?
Carlos looked Valerie in the eye and said in a serious tone, “You know what? I
don't care if she has money or power; I love her. We had dated for a long time
before she finally agreed to be with me. My wife is hot, and doesn't love me for
my money. If it weren't for the marriage certificate, she might have been another
man's wife. Grandma, will you please stop poking your nose in my business? If
Deb leaves me because of you, it will cost me a lot of time and energy to get her
back. She’s my one and only.”
Carlos just wanted his grandma to stay away from Debbie. He wanted to remind
Valerie that even if she succeeded in driving Debbie away, he would by no
means accept another woman as she wished.

Valerie was exasperated. Pointing at
Debbie with a shaking hand, she
yelled, “What's so good about her
that you had to date her for a long
time? Do you know what she did to
me and Megan? She bullied us, and
then went out on a date with another
man. She's nothing but a ho! She
even has a lover in New York. How
could you be so blind?" The content

She banged her stick on the floor; the sound reverberated in the Living room.

*Bullied Grandma and Megan?
Impossible!’ thought Carlos. His eyes
darkened as he said, “Grandma,
Debbie has always respected you.
Bully you? Ha! And Megan, you just
held my waist, right? Your aunt
Debbie just overreacted. She doesn't
hate you. Grandma, please don't
mess with my family.” The content is

Debbie's anger vanished when she saw Carlos defend her like this. His words
touched her heart deeply
Carlos felt Debbie brush his hand away, and got confused.

Before he could respond, Debbie
walked towards Valerie, took a deep
breath and said in a soft voice, “I'm
sorry, Grandma. Maybe I'm not the
granddaughter-in-law you want. But I
can assure you I love Carlos. A lot. I
would never cheat on him. What's
more, we've been married for more
than three years. If you really hate to
see us together, I'll try to not show
any public displays of affection.
Okay?” The content is on
