The Devil's Love For The Heiress novel Chapter 48

Chapter 48: The DNA Test 

Back in Braeton City.

From inside her bedroom, Kate was hugging Carlos number two. She had her arms and legs around the huge bear, her face nuzzled on its head. If not for Carlos number two, Kate would have struggled to sleep, especially after the shooting incident in Paris. She had to admit that Carlos’ gift was somewhat effective in replacing his absence. she heard her alarm get off, but she ignored it, burying her face against the softness of the stuffed toy. Her eyes were still shut as she complained, “I’m sorry. I don’t want to leave Carlos

yet.”

Her alarm snoozed on its own, and Kate relished in the added minutes of embracing the teddy bear. When her alarm went off again, she was inclined to stop it, but it ceased on its own. Her eyes widened, and she turned to her bedside table with a frown.

“You don’t have to go to work today.” At the sight of the real thing, Kate’s lips thinned into a smile, and her eyes sparkled.

Carlos.

She tossed Carlos number two on the side of her bed, and her arms crawled to embrace the original Carlos “I’m glad to see that Carlos number two served his purpose,” Carlos teased, his lips curving up to a smirk

With Kate’s weight dangling around him, they both fell onto the bed. Kate’s legs easily wrapped around Carlos’s waist, and she remarked, “Nothing beats the original Carlos.”

Carlos beamed and pecked on her face and lips. He said, “Of course.” “When did you get back?” Kate asked. “You really have a habit of surprising me.” “At dawn,” Carlos said. “Alex came with me so we can practice together for Wimbledon Championships. I was thinking about waiting it out.”

“The French Police were about ready to siege an island, where Hugo Bonnet’s son may be in hiding, including the remaining members of the Bonnet Gang,” Carlos informed. “But, I only have two weeks before the Wimbledon Championship, and I have many things to take care of here in Braeton – the company too.” Kate nodded. CSK Apparel was two weeks away from launching its first product line, the jade watches. Thus, she understood how Carlos needed to review its progress.

“Then I need to have a decent practice before Wimbledon, and I could not have that in Paris, not with the tension going on there.” Lying on his side, Carlos lifted his head and rested it on his fist. He added, “There is still no assurance for our safety, especially in Paris.”

“I hope they capture Hugo’s son,” kate softly remarked. “I hope so, too,” Carlos answered. Checking the time, Carlos embraced Kate tightly. He smacked her ass before saying, “Let’s go Get up, sleepyhead. We need to go somewhere.”

“I thought I’m not going to work?” Kate asked.
