Although Debbie was amused, she still maintained a cold tone.


    “I can’t.


    We’re not a couple. There are boundaries. Thank you for Leaving Ivan alone. Bye.”


    Carlos shook his head when she hung up, and stared at his phone.


    Then he called Tristan on the inside line.


    “Stop the operations on the


    Walker Group.”


    Tristan was confused for a moment, and then he understood.

    “Yes,


    Carlos.” ‘Ivan must have called Debbie for help, ‘ he realized.


    The next day, before Debbie left for France, she went to the manor to see Piggy. Miranda hade


    back from New York. When Debbie arrived, she was having breakfast with the little girl, whereas Carlos


    had just finished his morning exercise and was taking a shower upstairs.


    “Aunt Miranda,” Debbie called.

    Miranda looked at her and announced, “Sooner orter, we’ll be a family again. I don’t like this form of


    address.”


    Debbie was surprised by her bluntness, but she didn’t object.


    “Mom,” she called blushing.


    “Mmhmm. Have you had breakfast?”


    “Yes. I’m going on a business trip today. I came to check in on Piggy,” she said as she kissed Piggy’s


    cheek


    Evelyn already knew what a business trip meant. She hugged Debbie and said, “Mommy, y with me


    when youe back.”


    “Sure, I will, sweetheart.” Debbie stroked her cheek, feeling guilty that she was a Lousy mom. She


    spent too Little time with her daughter.


    By the time Carlos came downstairs, Debbie was already gone.


    “Daddy,


    Mommy will be away for half a month. I miss her already,” Piggy said to her father.


    “Did shee over?” he asked Miranda.


    Miranda fed Evelyn a slice of fruit.


    “Yes. She came to see Piggy and then left quickly. I guess she didn’t want to see you.”
