Heposed himself and stated, “I’ve heard that there’s an arranged marriage in the works. The Hilton


    family and Elliot family. Carlos and the daughter of the Elliot family grew up together and make a


    perfect couple. Everyone thinks that they‘ll get married sooner or Later. James told the press a few


    days ago that the daughter of the Elliot family would be his daughter-inw.”


    Just now, Debbie finally understood why James didn’t like her. She represented a threat to their


    business interests. It turned out that he had chosen a daughter-in-Law a Long time ago. Debbie was an


    unpleasant surprise to him. And his decision was based purely on the business advantages it would


    bring.


    “I know. Not a problem. Carlos and I love each other. We’ll convince his father to ept me.” Carlos’


    family might have some problems with her right now, but that was no reason for her to give up.


    “And Carlos’ grandma likes his niece, though she’s not a blood rtive.” Hayden had done some


    research on Carlos. Although there wasn’t much, he found out something about his family.


    Debbie was not blind. She could see that Valerie Liked Megan a lot.


    “It doesn’t matter.” She believed that the love between her and Carlos was strong enough to ovee


    any obstacle between them. They would pass this trial.


    Hayden sighed, resigned to his fate. He still couldn’t win her back. He said in a defeated tone, “Fine.


    Tell me why you Lied to me.”

    Debbie held the coffee mug to warm her hands.


    “When did I lie to you?” she wondered.


    Hayden smiled wryly.


    “I thought you were married to Emmett, and you didn’t deny it.” He felt yed, felt that he made a fool


    of himself in front of Emmett and her. He didn’t like that feeling, not one bit.


    “You and I broke up. Remember? So I have to tell you who I married?


    None of your business!” Debbie retorted with a sneer.


    Her brutal tone stung. Hayden felt his heart was bleeding. He leaned forward and grabbed her hand


    resting on the table.


    “Deb..


    “Get your hands off me!” Debbie said angrily, trying to pull her hand out.


    Hayden didn’t move his hands away. He held her hand tighter and pulled it close to his face to smell


    her scent.


    “Deb, don’t cancel me.


    Please.”


    Debbie Looked around the coffee shop and found that Hayden and she were all the customers the


    shop had. She raised her voice and demanded, “Let go of my hand! Don’t push me. I’m getting pissed!”


    Hayden looked up at her.


    “What’s the worst that can happen? You already left me a long time ago anyway.” Sensing her anger,


    Hayden conceded,


    “Fine. I’ll let you go, but don’t walk away, okay?”


    Debbie gritted her teeth and nodded. As soon as he let go of her, she asked a barista to bring her a wet


    towel to wipe her hand.


    Embarrassed, Hayden gave a bitter smile.
