He paused, and Debbie complained, “He has done things to me! He has threatenedseveral times with my weaknesses.”
Curtis chuckled, “You silly girl! I’m saying that he has never raised his hand on you or been cruel to you.”
It was true that Carlos never harmed her physically. Nor did he do anything cruel to hurt her. But Debbie felt that what he had done was unbearable enough.
“I don’t know what happened between you and Carlos today. But you really don’t have to be mad at him because of Megan. To be honest, I never wanted you to get involved with Carlos from the very beginning.
After all, you know, you two… well, you both are short-tempered. But
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI changed my mind after Megan’s birthday. I saw the way he looked at you that day. His eyes were full of affection for you. There was no mistaking it. I’ve known him for years, but have never seen him Like that before. Trust me, he loves you. I don’t believe that it’s because you are his wife and he is responsible for you, but because he’s attracted to you.”
Debbie’s jaw dropped and she stared at the man in utter surprise. ‘Wow.
Mr. Loftus is such a Loyal friend. He has nothing but good things to say about Carlos.’
“Maybe you are right, but that’s only when Megan is not around. When she’s present, he has eyes only for her,” she said with a bitter smile.
Curtis shook his head.
“Debbie, give him stime. He has known Megan for more than five years now. That’s not the case with you. Even though you’ve been married to him for three years, you two have only spent a few months together. Give him stto understand the relationship between you and him, and his duties towards Megan. I know Carlos well.
He won’t Let you down.”
When Debbie remained silent, he added, “Do you really think we are stupid enough to believe that Megan is a little girl who harbors no ill-will? We know that she is not as innocent as she appears, but we choose to ignore it. After all, Carlos and Wesley have a responsibility to keep her happy for the rest of her life. Of course, your happiness cannot be destroyed to keep her satisfied either. If you feel wronged, just feel free to say it out loud. And most importantly, whatever you do, Carlos and I will be there to support you.”
Debbie’s eyes widened. She didn’t expect to hear such strong words from
Curtis. She was beyond touched.
She nodded, “I finally know how you were able to becthe principal of the university at such a young age. Mr. Loftus, you really are a smooth-talker. I’m fully convinced.”
Curtis rolled his eyes at her.

With an embarrassed smile, Debbie pried, “Mr. Loftus, I’m really curious as to why you are always so nice to me. What’s the reason for it?” She felt that Curtis treated her as his own family.
Instead of answering her question, he said in a soft voice, “Go back hand make peace with Carlos. He has done so much for you. And because of him, you are much more girlish now than when
you were with
Hayden. Your only problem is that you are bad-tempered. You would be perfect once you Learn to control your anger.”
Debbie frowned at him. ‘He avoided my question and even mentioned
Hayden. How did he know him?’ she thought.
“You know the story betweenand Hayden!” Debbie said in an affirmative tone.
“Yes, I know. Last time, I was invited to a party, and he was there as well. He is now the head of the Gomez family and has a partnership with
