Debbie shook her head.
“Old man, you’ve cdown onfor talking during a meal…”
Obviously, that wasn’t something she wanted to talk about.
Carlos sat in stunned silence for a moment. ‘I guess I can drop it, but did she have to use my own words against me?

She stared at the pizza eagerly, but since Curtis was carrying it, it was embarrassing for her to tell him she wanted a piece now.
The two men exchanged a look and smiled at each other when they saw the eager look in her eyes. Curtis put the pizza down on the table and sliced it evenly. Then he took a piece out of the pie, put it on a plate, and handed it to Carlos.
Carlos set it in front of her and said, “Go ahead. Curtis made it himself.”
Debbie was surprised. ‘Curtis can make pizza?’
She wasn’t sure whether she should eat it at first. She was still mad, after all. Nonetheless, after a moment’s hesitation, she picked up the pizza slice and took a bite.
It tasted divine.
Then there was nothing left on her mind but the enticing taste of durian. She wolfed the entire piece in moments. Curtis offered her a second slice. Then he took a small box from the next table and handed it to her.
“You’re going to England the day after tomorrow, right? I bought an apartment for you there. It’s close to your university.

Carlos didn’t know how to respond. It was not like he was poor. He could probably support a dozen Debbies if it cto that.
“Why did you allow him to buyan apartment? Aren’t you always jealous? Why didn’t you stop him?”
Both Carlos and Curtis were dumbstruck. This wasn’t the reaction they were expecting.
Instead of taking the keys, Debbie gulped down another slice of pizza angrily. Carlos comforted her, “He’s your uncle, he’s family. Besides,
I don’t want you to sleep in the dorm. If you take the keys, we can live there together.”
“He’s not my uncle. I didn’t say it, you did. So he’s your uncle, not mine.” Debbie rolled her eyes at Carlos.
“Well, my uncle is also yours,” he retorted.
