“Feeling sad?” a cold voice asked, breaking into her thoughts.
“Yes,” she admitted succinctly. Humans were sensitive. It was normal to feel sad on occasions like this.
“Do you want to stay and be the village head’s daughter-in-law?”
Carlos asked coldly. Debbie turned towards him in surprise.
His face was grim. ‘Damn! What did I do wrong in saying goodbye? I didn’t even encourage him.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWhat’s he sulking about now?’ she thought.
Pondering over what he had just said, she slid closer to him and asked,
“Are you jealous? Huh?”
Seen through, Carlos tried to save face with a poker expression.
“Sit back,” he demanded, though it was clear he didn’t mean it.
She refused to obey. Pressing her cheek against his arm, she asked while fluttering her long eyelashes, “You didn‘t react much on seeing me. Did you really chere to seeor what?”
The road was bumpy, but sitting in Carlos’ car, Debbie could barely feel it. It was much better than riding a minibus.
The next moment, the interior screen was rolled up so that the passengers could have sprivacy. Confused, Debbie was about to ask what was going on when her face was lifted up gently.
“Do you wantto react?” Carlos asked meaningfully.
Looking into his eyes, she regretted saying that.
“No, no. I-” She wanted to say this was not what she had meant.
But actually, she wanted to kiss him too.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside the Bentley behind the Emperor, Jared was sitting with an expression on his face that was as annoyed as if he had just eaten a dead fly. It was all because of the woman sitting next to him-Gail.
He couldn’t help suspecting that Carlos had made this arrangement on purpose. Although every student unfamiliar to Debbie was sharing a car with others in groups of two or three, whoever was connected with
Debbie was given a separate car. Dixon, Gus, even Gregory were enjoying a car alone. Only Jared had to share a car with someone. And to make matters worse, that someone had to be Gail!
The most irritating part was that there were no passengers in the two
Bentleys behind them and Gail could have been thrown in any of those two.
Carlos must have done this to torture him!
Jared felt that it was so unfair. He had had to accompany Carlos’ wife to the remote, backward village and this was what he had gotten in return. Life was so unfair, especially to men.
“Jared, do you know what Debbie’s relationship with Emmett is?” Gail asked, even though she had anticipated that most likely, Jared wouldn’t tell her anything even if he did know something.
