“No. Megan got sick, and they were all worried about her, so they dropped it for now,” he replied while adeptly cracking an egg into a bowl with one hand.
Listening to the sound of whisking eggs, Debbie felt her heart was soaked in bitterness, but she pretended not to mind.
“I didn’t know you could cook. When did you learn that?”
Carlos paused shortly.
“I’ll cook for you someday soon, okay?”

Carlos was busy every day. She didn’t have the heart to ask him to do anything for her after work. But right now, another woman was having him work in the middle of the night.
“Megan didn’t feel well. She wanted to eat the noodles I cooked for her before,” he explained briefly.
“Huh!’ Debbie held back her tears without one more word.
She didn’t know since when she’d always been trying to reign in her temper.
But it was only around Carlos that she would suppress her anger tand again.
“Megan said it was urgent. What is it?”
“I want to go back to Alorith alone tomorrow, she blurted out.
Carlos put down the bowl and chopsticks.
“We’ll only be here for three days. I’ll be finished with work by then. What’s the matter? I gave you a private villa all to yourself. I promise no one will disturb you there.”
Debbie was conflicted. She appreciated what Carlos had done for her, from the bottom of her heart, but meanwhile, she couldn’t stand him being nice to other women, even if the woman was his supposed niece.
Especially a niece who wanted him for herself!
She wanted to be mad, but she also thought she shouldn’t be.

She wanted to cry, but she didn’t know exactly why she was hurt.
“Okay, can you cback now? I miss you, honey. I can’t sleep without you by my side.”
Carlos missed her too, but the meal wasn’t finished yet. He didn’t like leaving things half done.
“I’ll be back in half an hour.”
The manor was very close to the villa. He could get there in very few minutes. He always finished what he had started. The noodles would be ready in a dozen minutes.
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
“ALL right, bye.”
