“You asshole! Goddamn ungrateful. The call was cut all of a sudden.
Carlos figured that James must have thrown his phone against the wall or something. That was just like him, and it wouldn’t be the first time.
James had broken a number of phones over the years. If he’d kept those phones in decent shape, he could have opened his own phone store.
From experience, he knew what James would do next: find someone to vent his anger at. And the target was probably… Leaping into action,

“Carlos, what’s up? It’s late. Haven’t you gone to bed yet?” Tabitha asked, though she had guessed what had happened. She heard the man hollering a few rooms away, and heard the unmistakable sounds of a phone shattering against the wall.
“Mom, I’ll get my assistant to pick you up. Please pack a few things and move into my villa. I’m flying to New York soon, two days before the New Year. I can bring you back hthen.” Carlos had several houses in New York. If she stayed in one of his estates, James wouldn’t be able to do a thing to her.
Wiping her teary eyes, Tabitha forced a smile and said, “I’m okay,
Carlos. Don’t worry about me. I’ll just stay in my room. Just take care of Debbie, okay? You have your own Life now.”
Fretful, Carlos closed his eyes tightly.
“Mom, you’ve suffered enough.
Why don’t you leave him? Why do you put up with him? Do you want your depression to get worse?”
As a matter of fact, a few years ago, Tabitha had been diagnosed with mild depression thanks to James’ temper. Carlos had accidentally found out about her mental health challenges and sought out the best doctors.
After stherapy combined with traditional Chinese medicine, she got better. However, as long as she was living with James, it would be impossible for her to recover completely. Her illness returned tand again.
Carlos had even given Tabitha his keys to the villa in New York, but she refused to move in. She had been determined to Live together with

“Pack your Luggage now. I’m sending my assistant over to drive you to my villa.” As he finished, he hung up at once, without giving Tabitha the chance to refuse. Then, he called his assistant at the New York branch of his company, requesting that he ferry Tabitha to his villa.
Carlos leaned back in his seat and lit a cigarette. Contemplating the view outside his window, he was deep in thought. Moments later,
Debbie’s face popped into his mind, and he cback to his senses.
Thinking of her, he immediately grabbed his phone from the table and opened WeChat. He tapped Debbie’s Moments.
Like Debbie usually did, she had updated her status again. She was quite an active WeChat user who enjoyed sharing her daily life and thoughts. There were new posts in her WeChat Moments almost every day.
A few moments ago, she posted another pic. You could see her cute manicured toes, and her hand held the glass of wine he had just poured for her. Above the photo, there was a line of text: “Cupid shootswith his arrow! Love comes so fast Like a tornado!”
“Love comes so fast…’ Carlos smiled. ‘Yeah, before I knew Debbie was actually my wife, I had a feeling that I’d fall in love with her if I didn’t shoo her away as soon as possible.
