Chapter: 72


    With that in her mind, she stifled her Laughter and put on a sulky face beforeing out of the kitchen


    with a ss of hot milk in her hand.


    Debbie had anticipated that Carlos would be back soon, so she hade downstairs to heat up a


    ss of milk for him. Coincidentally, he came back just as soon as the milk was ready.


    “Carlos, this is for you.” She handed him the ss of milk with an innocent look on her face.


    He nced at her, feeling a dull ache in his head.


    “Why didn’t you switch the lights on ‘She came downstairs to heat up milk for me?


    Could it be poisonous?”


    “I did. I just turned the light off before you walked in,” she answered defensively.


    With another doubtful look at her, he thought, ‘She isn’t reckless enough to poison me.” Then he took


    the ss of milk from her hands and gulped it down.


    “Wait…” she suddenly uttered.


    Before Debbie could even finish her sentence, Carlos rushed to the bin and spat the milk out. Debbie


    reached out and took the ss from his hand nervously.

    What she meant to tell Carlos was that the milk was too hot, but by the time she could say anything, he


    had already gulped it down.


    Carlos strode to the dining table with a ck face, and pulled out some tissues to wipe his mouth.


    Debbie tried so hard to stifle herughter that her cheeks became as red as cherries.


    “You! Go to sleep!” Carlosmanded her.


    Debbie opened her mouth, hoping to mention the divorce, but after considering his bad mood, she


    finally decided that it might not be a good time to talk about that topic. Pursing her lips tight, she put the


    ss of milk on the dining table and went to her room meekly.


    Carlos stared at the ss of milk and then shifted his eyes towards her as she made herself scarce.


    After he calmed his nerves he followed up the stairs as well.


    As soon as she got into her bedroom, Debbie burst into wild Laughter.


    It was an innocent mistake, but it felt good to see the man suffer a bit.


    As the night deepened, Debbie turned and rolled about in bed restlessly. Multiple thoughts cascaded


    like a waterfall in her head.


    ‘What do I have to do to get a divorce?


    I have tried to be defiant and failed. I have tried to please him and that didn’t work out either. That man


    is such a piece of work, ‘ she thought.


    The sound of the door shutting Lightly came to her ears from the next room. She looked at the clock to


    check the time. It was 1 a.m.


    “Does he always work so hard? What if I buy him a nice present tomorrow? Maybe he will be pleased


    and sign the divorce papers.*


    Debbie was convinced that it was a good idea. She invited Kristina and


    Kasie to shop with her the next day through WeChat and finally fell asleep.
