The Devil's Love For The Heiress by LiLhyz

Chapter 85: Down On One Knee

A week passed since Carlos scheduled his Exhibition Match Since then, he had been training his left foot to walk longer distances. While he was pushing himself, he had to take a break in the middle of the week as his ankle returned to swell.

The doctors told Carlos that it was expected since he was practicing walking without his orthopedic boot The boot had several supports that kept his foot in place Thus, walking without it was another adjustment

The Devil was dismayed. He seriously wanted to return to tennis soon, but he understood he had to take it slow. Still, he was on and off his boot, but at least he could already. bend down on one knee of course, Kate did not know that. He kept it from her because… it was meant to be a surprise

“Ready to leave? Carlos asked, looking back at Kate

“Are you sure this is a good idea? Kate sought “Can’t you just have this match when you can walk properly?”

“Eh, no It has to be today.” Carlos said. Only he and Alexander knew how long he waited for this day At least, this was the second closest thing he could have to the US Open He thought, ‘The tennis complex is only available for me to use today’

The Devil had been trying to book the entire complex where the US Open was often held, but sometimes, the same stadiums were used for other sports events when he finally received word of its availability, he took it, regardless if he could walk adequately

In the car, Kate suggested, “Can we drop by the house? Mom and Dad said they were busy, but with what? I wanted to check on them.”

“Um. They left They called me earlier and said they wanted to take a vacation.” Carlos cut her off

Kate was shocked altogether. She said, “They never told me!”

They tried. Through me, but you were taking a shower, and they were in a hurry, Carlos reasoned He glanced over at Lemuel and ordered, “let’s go.”

Carlos and Kate flew to New York. They took the flight together with Alexander and Carlos’ team. They only spent Iwo hours resting at Carlos’ penthouse before leaving for the National Tennis Complex al four thirty in the afternoon

When they arrived at the tennis stadium, kale’s eyes widened Their party was about to go to the locker areas, but hearing the cheers above them, she could not help bul peek at the ring

The stadium was filled with Carlos’ fans They had banners and flags, and many were calling out his name.

Substantial corporations sponsored the event. To her shock. The Diamond Hotels was a sponsor too. It had the hotel logos painted around the first level Kate’s eyes scanned the VIP seats and saw familier toces, politicians and reputable familles. Various TV networks, including Braeton’s local, the BNC Media, were also present

“How could Carlos say this is not o serious match when it is lelevised7 Kale wondered, and her heart ached, worried for Carlos

Kate followed Alexander and Carlos to the locker rooms, and from there, she questioned, “Are you sure this is not a serious match because the stadium is packed?”
