Take My Breath Away

Arm in arm, Carlos and Debbie sauntered forward to stand in front of Curtis and Colleen. Grinning like a possum eating persimmon, Carlos enthused to Colleen, "When Curtis proposed to you before us, you two showed off your affection for each other as well. We were so jealous of you back then."

At the mention of the loving memories, Colleen smiled so broadly that her round eyes were reduced to slits. Curtis smiled as well. Then they looked each other in the eye, eyes full of affection.

The couple seemed devoted to each other, something that Debbie greatly admired.

The envy on her face didn't escape Carlos' notice. He held her hand tighter. 'Debbie Nian, from this day onwards, I, Carlos Huo, will not have you admiring anyone else...' Carlos swore to himself.

Before any of them could speak, a young man's voice came from behind their backs. "Hey! Mr. Huo and Mr. Lu. I've heard a lot about you two!"

Turning around, Debbie saw two men, one in a black suit and the other in white walking toward them.

It was Jared's brother, the guy in white who had called. Debbie knew who he was, but they were not acquaintances.

The man in black looked familiar to Debbie. She remembered she had seen him once on TV, and he was a colonel or something. 'In real life, he looks much more handsome than on TV!' Debbie thought, letting her eyes settle upon the man's face.

She was really surprised to see them here. Who was this Megan Lan? Why did the four richest young men in Y City all appear at her birthday party?

When he noticed his wife was drooling over another man, Carlos' face soured. At once he pulled her into his arms and announced in a cold voice, "This is my wife, Debbie Nian."

The announcement caught Wesley off guard. Among the four of them, he was the youngest, and this being a big bash, he had probably come prepared to mingle. The first in the group of four to have a girlfriend was Curtis. His girlfriend, Colleen, was 28 years old, two years older than Wesley.

But Debbie, if his memory wasn't lying, was only a college student and was only 21 years old!

Still single at 26, Wesley fel

Happy 18th birthday, Megan. This is the gift from Curtis and me," Colleen said with a friendly smile, as she walked up to hand over her gift.

"Thank you, Uncle Curtis," said Megan, her smile even wider. She stood on tiptoe and kissed him on his cheek.

Then she turned to Colleen and expressed her gratefulness with a hug.

Meanwhile, Debbie watched her moves in awe. 'Is this girl that close with Curtis? She even kissed him in front of Colleen!'

After greeting Wesley, Megan walked towards Carlos and clasped his palm into hers. Acting pettishly, she said, "Uncle Carlos, I absolutely love this island. Thank yo for such a fabulous gift. I love you!"

As Debbie slowly turned to look around the island, her eyes popped wide in shock.

'I guess this island at least costs hundreds of millions. Is Carlos that rich to afford a whole island as a birthday gift?' she mused.

In particularly good mood, Carlos, smiled to Megan and introduced Debbie to her. "Megan, I'd like you to meet Debbie Nian. You may call her Aunt Debbie. Deb, this is Megan Lan."

Pretending that she just saw Debbie, Megan exclaimed, "Uncle Carlos, since when did you have a girlfriend? You didn't even tell me!"

"She's not my girlfriend. She's my wife. We've already gotten married," Carlos explained.

Debbie flashed a big smile and reached out her right hand. "Nice to meet you, Megan. I'm Debbie Nian. Happy birthday."
