Or is he only doing this to save face?’
Just when Debbie was Lost in her own thoughts, Carlos spoke in a cold voice.
“I don’t know why you think of her that way, Grandma. But she’s a good girl. You just won’t give her a chance. You said she had bullied
Megan. If she really wanted to do that, she would have beaten her up whether you were there or not. See any bruises? No. So you just overreacted.”
Valerie’s face turned livid. Ignoring her, Carlos continued after a short pause, “You said she didn’t respect her elders. In my eyes, she always treats our family members with the utmost respect. You guys, on the other hand, are shitty to her. She doesn’t wake up until noon?
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtWell, she suffers from jet lag. And it’s my fault. She’s up until the small hours because of me. If you do mind that, I’ll try to let her get to sleep earlier. She cheated on me? I already explained it, and I don’t want to talk about it anymore. You said she stole things? Haha!
You must be kidding. My wife would never want your cheap things.”
Disdain could be seen in Carlos’ eyes.
A myriad of emotions flooded Debbie at this moment. She was so moved by
Carlos she wanted to cry. She didn’t think she was good enough to catch his eye, but he treated her like the most precious thing in his life.
Valerie was too angry to utter a single word. After a long time, she finally cooled down a little and asked in a sad voice, “Carlos, how did she bewitch you? Why are you going on Like this?”
“Because she’s my wife,” Carlos replied.
“Don’t you think you’re focused on the wrong person? How about Megan or
Stephanie? But why Debbie? She’s a thief and a cheater!” James thundered, as he couldn’t bear Carlos’ attitude any longer.
“Stephanie? Who’s that?’ Debbie thought to herself.
Carlos stood up from the couch and dragged Debbie along with him.
“Don’t callout of work again and then run this…this circus! I’m super busy, and I don’t have the time to deal with stupid shit. As for your lost things, I’LL have my people Look into it. And you, Grandma, you need to apologize to her once the air is clear.”

Valerie hadn’t expected things to go down like this. She thought once she said Debbie was a thief, Carlos would get angry and hate Debbie.
But it turned out she was wrong.
The moment they entered the bedroom, Carlos told Debbie, “I still have work in New York, and we can’t go back to Alorith now. If you don’t feel happy here, how about we move out?”
After she thought about it a bit, Debbie shook her head.
“We’re going back to Alorith in a few days. Why go to the trouble? I’ll go out for the day while you’re at work.” She decided to keep herself away from
Valerie as much as possible.
Then she fell into his strong arms, and she could smell his cologne.
