Curiosity getting the better of her, Debbie asked again, “Why did he leave the army and be a


    CEO?” She remembered asking Carlos the same question. ‘What was his answer again? Crap, I


    forgot.’


    Wesley steered the vehicle as easily as breathing.


    “Why don’t you ask him that directly? He can answer it better than anyone else.”


    Debbie felt defeated. ‘Soldiers are so tight-lipped and vignt, ‘ she thought, sighing.


    Silence engulfed them. After a while, Debbie asked, “You’re unmarried, right? Since you Like Megan so


    much, why don’t you just marry her?”


    Wesley was caught off-guard by her sudden question.


    The woman he had loved used to say the exact same words. Those words had rung in his head


    countless times even after she had left. Hearing them again, the words struck him hard. He said


    solemnly, “She’s not the one I want to marry.”


    Debbie was intrigued.


    “Is there someone else you like? Who is she?


    Where is she now? Have you been dating her?


    Silence was the only reply she got from him

    door for Debbie when she got out of the vehicle.


    She wanted to jump to the ground herself, but Carlos was quick to catch her as she jumped down.


    He held her hand and wasn’t going to let go, but Debbie pushed him away, blushing.


    “Don’t touch me,” she reprimanded.


    Carlos grabbed her wrist and said tly, “That’s not what you said in bedst night.”


    Wesley, who had walked around the vehicle to meet them, happened to hear their Little conversation.


    ‘Why? All I did was bring his wife to the hospital. Did he have to punish me by making me listen to


    that?”


    Debbie tried to cover Carlos’ mouth, but it was toote. The words were already out in the open.


    She shook off Carlos” hand and said sarcastically, “Shall we go inside now, guardian angels?”


    “Oh, I’m not talking about me. How could I tter myself Like that?


    Only Megan deserves your ultimate care. Everything about her is such a big deal. What perfect


    guardian angels you make when ites to


    Megan!” Debbie scoffed.


    Carlos and Wesley exchanged a Look as they walked behind her silently, and quickened their pace to
