NovelEnglishChapter: 117
Debbie was so embarrassed she wished she could dig a hole in the ground and stick her head in. She shouldn’t have asked Carlos for a divorce while she was still a college student. If she had waited until she had graduated and found a job, things would have been totally different.
‘Pathetic’ didn’t even begin to explain how she felt right now! Not only did she have to look for a job, but she had to ask Jared to lend her smoney.
