Good to see you too.”
Both Debbie and Davis were shocked by how fluently the three-year-old girl spoke English.
Debbie knew that Piggy could say a few simple English words. But so fluently? She had no idea.
Davis was excited.
“Wow, Debbie, your daughter is amazing. She’s cute and clever!”
As Davis was speaking, a tall figure cover and embraced the mother and daughter. Carlos planted a kiss on Debbie’s cheek and said in

“Thank you for taking care of my wife
Sorry, we should get going now.”
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? Sbillionaires 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 handsenough to be worthy of
Evelyn.’
But what drove Debbie nuts was his third requirement. A son older than

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?
