Debbie.” Emmett wiped the sweat off his forehead with the back of his hand. He was relieved that the


    call had finally been connected. He had been trying to get a hold of her for so long


    “Okay. I’ll try my best.” Debbie hailed a cab and gave the address of the house Curtis had bought for


    her to the driver.


    She had asked Carlos about it the night before. And her husband had almost seen through her n


    Carlos’ phone had rung several times before he finally answered it. She began with a giggle, “I knew


    you would be busy, but I also knew that you would insist on seeing me off at the airport. I didn’t want to


    waste your time. That’s why I left quietly.”


    There was no response from the other end.


    Debbie knew what she had done was wrong. She went on, “I had a safe flight. And see? I’m calling you


    right after the nended. Also


    I’m heading for the house…er… Mr. Loftus bought for me, just as you told me, all right?”

    Carlos only grunted slightly.


    “Fine. I apologize. What I did was wrong. I’ll wait for you in Ennd.


    Come as soon as you can, okay?”

    The driver was British. Debbie was pretty sure he couldn’t understand


    Chinese, so she decided to continue talking to Carlos in her native tongue. She smiled and cajoled


    Carlos, putting on her sweetest voice.


    “I decided a couple days ago. I was in a bad mood then. Can you stop being mad at me, honey? You


    know how much I love you. I’m wearing the watch you bought me.”


    She was also wearing the ring Carlos got her. Only, she was wearing it around her neck as a ne,


    just like before.


    “Are you also wearing the studs Hayden bought you?”


    “No. I already mailed those back and blocked his number for you is as pure as moonlight and as deep


    as the sea


    Honey, my Love


    At the other end of the line, hearing Debbie’s deration of love,


    Carlos grinned from ear to ear.


    “You’re set up with drivers, bodyguards, and cooks. I’ve got a friend you can call if things go south. I’ll
