Chapter: 200
Debbie didn’t know whether to cry or Laugh. She was safe for now, but she was a little worried about what would happen in the evening.
“Debbie!” A man’s voice brought her back to her senses.
She turned to see who it was. From not too far away, a couple was approaching them, arm in arm. Colleen was wearing a Long yellow dress and her partner was Curtis.
He stared at Carlos and Debbie in confusion.

Debbie was also surprised to see Curtis and his girlfriend there.
“Mr.
Loftus, Colleen, how are you doing?” she greeted them. As she said her hellos to them, she pushed Carlos aside to keep him at arm’s Length.
This made Carlos’ face turn sour.
Colleen gave Debbie a friendly smile and said, “We’re doing great!
Debbie, the Last tI saw you and Carlos, you were not on good terms with each other. Since when did you two becso close? Is there a story you want to share with me?”
Curtis was as curious as his girlfriend to know that.
Debbie was too embarrassed to answer her question. She lowered her head, staring at her shoes, not knowing what to say. When she failed to respond, Carlos reached out to pull her into his arms and said nonchalantly, “She’s my wife. Of course, we are close to each other.”
Carlos remembered that Curtis had a soft spot for Debbie. He cast a challenging glance at Curtis. Although Carlos didn’t know about the nature of the relationship between Debbie and Curtis, he decided to keep her away from Curtis anyway. ‘She is my wife and I will be the one to take care of her from here onward, ‘ he swore to himself.

But she was with Carlos. Curtis knew his buddy well, and he was really worried about Debbie now.
Debbie began to walk towards Curtis, but Carlos grabbed her right hand tightly and pulled her back. He said in a low growl, “Honey, you are a married woman now. When another man waves at you and asks you to go with him, you should turn him down. Understand?”
Everyone was rendered speechless and Curtis raised his eyebrows in surprise. They wondered why Carlos was so jealous and possessive all of a sudden.
Debbie, whose face had becred again, said in a whisper, “Then you cwith me.” She didn’t want to turn Curtis down impolitely. After all, he had treated her well in the past.
“Fine. Next tif someone asks you to go with them anywhere, just calland I’ll cwith you.”
Debbie looked intensely at Carlos’ face, trying to figure out whether he was joking. But it looked like he really meant it.
