When Carlos walked out of the lounge, Megan was still doing her homework at his desk.


    He looked at her and said tly, “I’m going back to the meeting room.


    The meeting won’t be over anytime soon. Ask Ashley to call a driver for you and tell him to take you


    home when your homework is done.”


    “Gotcha. Go back to your work. Don’t worry about me, Uncle Carlos.”


    “Okay.”


    Debbie’s days in Ennd were pretty boring. Studying took up most of her time. It surprised her that a


    once hopeless student Like her could be studying so hard now.

    Without Carlos, her life was sort of Like a photocopier. Every day was just a xerox of the other. It was


    always just ss, yoga, and music


    Luckily, she had the weekends off to have some fun. Or she would have gone mad already.


    It had been a month and a half since she hade to Ennd. She had been away from Carlos for


    forty-five days. During these days, she reflected on what had happened in Alorith in the past. She came


    to a few solid conclusions.


    She had been too hot-tempered. Carlos had been nothing but good to her


    No matter how busy he was, he always made time to keep herpany. He provided the best for her.


    Why couldn’t she have been more understanding? Why had she canceled the trip with him to the


    Maldives?


    He had had fights with her over Hayden only because he loved her very much and had gotten jealous


    of her being close to other men. She should have been more patient andforted him.


    And then there was Megan. She always made things worse between Debbie and Carlos. She stirred


    things up and then pretended to be a good girl.


    She pretended to suck up to Debbie andfort Carlos.


    Yet, Debbie had easily fallen into her trap. She had fought with Carlos over Megan. She had forced


    Carlos to send her abroad sooner than needed.


    Now that she was here… It took only one look at the A4 paper with


    Carlos’ name scribbled all over it to know how much she missed him.


    He shouldn’t have been so indulgent with her.


    And Curtis… He did nothing wrong.


    He had been good to her ever since he had found out that she was family. But she had refused him


    coldly. She shouldn’t have taken her hatred towards her mom out on Curtis and Gus.


    She felt so stupid as she thought about everything that she had messed up in the past. She only


    wished that Carlos’ love for her wouldn’t fade because of her past follies.


    She had heard a saying that a person grew up suddenly at some point in their life. It was so true.


    Debbie felt she had be more mature after spending some time alone, thinking.


    She decided to start over with Carlos and treasure what they had. The process had been hard and


    tormenting. But a message from Kasie changed everything again.


    She was pondering over a question on the English test paper when her phone rang. The message from


    Kasie said, “Tomboy, I wasn’t nning on telling you this, but it’s too important. I think as Carlos’ wife,


    you deserve to know the truth. Carlos…he’s injured.”


    “What happened?” she texted back immediately.
