True Love Waits novel Chapter 480

Debbie wanted to say something to Carlos to stop the man from addressing her as "honey." But Davis wouldn't shut up. He was so excited and animated. He cut in, "You're welcome. Your daughter is amazing. I really should get a wife and have a son right now. That way, when he grows up, I can have him court your daughter."

As he finished speaking, he clearly saw Carlos' emotionless face gradually fall.

Awkward silence engulfed them. In the end, the stone-faced man told the foreigner icily, "First, you need to get on the Forbes Billionaires list; second, marry the most beautiful woman in the world—she should have good genes; third, give birth to a son that is older than my daughter, and make sure he knows how to handle your money, not to mention make more. So, if you do all that, your son can date my kid."

Debbie's jaw dropped as she listened to Carlos' standards on their future son-in-law.

She couldn't believe her ears.

'Forbes Billionaires list? Some billionaires don't make that list. It starts at 40 billion dollars! Does he think anyone can do that?

And marry the most beautiful woman? For good genes? So he means Davis' kid needs to be rich, powerful and handsome enough to be worthy of Evelyn.'

But what drove Debbie nuts was his third requirement. A son older than Evelyn? That was impossible. Carlos had to be joking. The cap to a list of impossible demands, so the guy would give up on the idea of his son marrying Evelyn. Of course he'd want a mature, stable man as a son-in-law, but this was over the top.

Carlos had clearly given him a picture of his ideal son-in-law: powerful, rich, handsome, considerate and caring.

Carlos took Piggy from Debbie's arms. Holding his daughter with one arm, he wrapped his other arm around Debbie's waist and led her away.

The foreigner was still in a daze after hearing what the CEO said. He stared blankly at the mother and daughter who were waving goodbye to him. The mother smiled apologetically while the daughter wore a sweet smile.

After pondering over Carlos' list for a while, Davis somehow figured out what exactly was on the CEO's mind.

It sounded reasonable. If he had such a wonderful daughter, he'd strive to give her the best things in life.

So how could he do this? How could he have a son who measured up? 'Forbes Billionaires list? The most beautiful woman in the world? A son older than Evelyn?' Davis recalled Carlos' words once again in his mind, but he stopped there. There was no way he could make it. Staring at the receding figures of the three, Davis suddenly realized something. Carlos was making a joke.

'Hey, wait. Was he talking about himself? He's one of the richest men in the world. He's powerful. His wife is the loveliest singer. Of course he'd want someone just like him to vie for his daughter's hand...'

Even after they were too far away to see Davis, Carlos still wore a dark expression, emanating coldness. He wasn't happy with the idea that someone would marry his lovely daughter one day and take her away from him. Debbie sighed helplessly. "When did you get here? Why didn't you tell me you and Piggy were coming?" she asked.

Carlos' face softened a little, but his voice still sounded stern when he spoke. "So if I told you I was coming, would I see you eating with another guy?"

Debbie snapped nonchalantly, "What? You have a problem with me having dinner with my colleagues?"

Carlos didn't say anything else. He didn't dare. He didn't want to piss her off. At this point, his anger had completely vanished, and he apologized tenderly, "No. My bad. Sorry." He pulled her closer to him.

Debbie sneered, "Mr. Huo, no need to apologize. Give me my daughter and you can leave now." With that, she reached out her arms to Piggy.

Carlos held their daughter tightly and pulled away from Debbie while patiently coaxing, "I didn't fly all the way out here to give you our daughter. We'll wait till you're done with work and go home together."

He winked at his daughter. Evelyn got the hint and echoed, "Mommy, Daddy and I missed you. Don't make us go."
