NovelEnglishShe could even see the shape of the diamond through her thick sweater.
Luckily, it was winter, and she was wearing a down jacket and a scarf.
It would be highly difficult to spot the rock.
But, she was sure that the ring was probably worth at least tens of millions of dollars. It was the most expensive gift she had ever received. Mixed emotions flooded her. She was drowned in her own thoughts when she heard someone calling out her name.
“Hey! Tomboy!” a familiar voice shouted behind her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTurning around, she saw Jared limping over to her. He had a dark circle around his eye as a result of the punch from a boy yesterday.
“You didn’t hurt your leg yesterday. What happened?” Debbie asked, scowling.
Frustrated, Jared shook his head and explained, “That bastard, Damon, kickedwhen I got home. I swear he’ll pay for this. Why didn’t you attend Prof. He’s class this morning? Was it because your husband punished you Last night?”
“He didn’t punish me! I-I had something else to do in the morning. Why did Damon kick you?” Debbie changed the topic as her face turned red at the word “punish.”
But Jared was too careless to notice the blush. At the mention of
Damon, he said through gritted teeth, “He thought that he needed to teacha lesson so that I wouldn’t get into fights again. Damn him!
He really thinks he’s my brother! I don’t give a damn about that. I’LL get even with him next time!”
Debbie rolled her eyes and snapped, “Why do you hate him? He did it for your own good.” Debbie thought of Damon as a good brother to Jared.
Jared snapped back, “Oh really? And I think Carlos does everything for your own good. But you hate him as well.”
“I don’t hate him at all!” Debbie defended herself, frowning at him. ‘I love him, ‘ she said to herself. Although she was still mad at Carlos, that didn’t mean she didn’t love him.
“I clearly remember you calling him a scum when we were drinking yesterday. You were saying that he dated Olga, Megan…” Jared had apparently heard Debbie grumble last night at the club.
Slapping her hand over his mouth, Debbie yelled, “Stop talking nonsense! You obviously misheard me!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJared didn’t want to bother arguing with Debbie, so he changed the topic and said casually, “There is a poverty relief project to support the people in the Southon Village. Are you going to sign up for it?” If his memory served him right, Debbie was always enthusiastic about this sort of charity events.
“Yes! Of course, I’m going!” Debbie replied firmly. In the past, she didn’t have much money, but she still actively participated in the charity activities. Now that Carlos had given her a large amount of money to spend as she wished, of course she would go and put that money to good use. ‘I’LL just be doing charity on his behalf, ‘ she thought to herself and she was okay with it as long as she could help others in need.
“I knew it!” Jared groaned.
“But Southon Village is the poorest village in our country. The conditions there are awful. Besides, it’s winter and the event will go on for at Least a week. Are you sure you want to torture yourself by doing this?”
His words did scare Debbie a little. She hesitated, but when Carlos’ face popped up in her mind, she gritted her teeth and said, “Yes, I’m sure. I’ve made up my mind.”
Although Jared was dressed in a warm down jacket, he suddenly felt the whole world freeze after hearing her reply. A chill ran down his spine when he thought about accompanying Debbie to such a remote place where even a heater was a luxury. He couldn’t help but pull his down jacket tighter around himself as his body trembled.
