NovelEnglishCarlos made no response this time. Curtis dropped into silence and even the talkative Damon kept his mouth shut. Pin-drop silence filled the air around them.
Since Megan was still in a coma, they couldn’t visit her now. Then,
Curtis asked Carlos about Debbie’s ward number and found out it was just a few steps away.
When he pushed open the door of Debbie’s ward, he saw the girl lying in bed, looking rather annoyed. Hearing the footsteps, she instantly sat up.
“Hello, Mr. Loftus,” she said by way of greeting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCurtis nodded to her.
Debbie flashed an awkward smile.
“Mr. Loftus, letguess. Is this aboutpushing Megan into the river?”
The four most respected men in Alorith had always spoiled Megan, so
Debbie had already mentally prepared for any blfrom them before she carried out her plan.
Unexpectedly, Curtis touched her head and smiled to her tenderly.
“What are you talking about? Debbie, you have a far more important place in my heart than Megan.”
‘What? Wait, wait. What’s that affectionate look in his eyes? Does he…’ In a fluster, Debbie moved away to avoid his touch and stared at him.
“Are you…you…a two-timer?” she stammered.
Curtis was amused by her question. He slightly patted her head and said, “Wow, you definitely took that wrong. You aren’t scared of
Carlos, but I’m scared of Colleen throwingout of the house!”
Debbie wanted to laugh, but with Carlos’ nbeing mentioned, she suddenly pulled a long face.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSeeing the gloom on her face, Curtis sat down next to her and pulled the corner of the quilt. He said helplessly, “Didn’t Colleen tell you not to fight with Carlos over Megan? Why can’t you get that through your head?”
Debbie smiled bitterly.
“Megan went too far this time. There wouldn’t have been so many fights if it weren’t for her.”
Their relationship was worsening these days because of Megan stirring up trouble all the time, and besides, Carlos seeing her and Hayden stay in the villa together also made things worse.
“Carlos has been in a pickle because of you two girls. But he already knew you and Megan were like water and fire, so he granted guardianship of Megan to Wesley, asking him to spend more ttaking care of her.
I’m sure you’re much more important to Carlos than Megan,” Curtis said, patiently comforting her. There were a lot of things that Debbie didn’t know. But Curtis had seen with his own eyes how much Carlos cared about her. So he thought he should at least tell her that much.
Before Debbie cinto Carlos’ life, Carlos had almost devoted all his spare tto Megan.
But after he fell in love with Debbie, Megan was no longer his top priority. Especially knowing that Debbie didn’t like Megan, Carlos had always tried his best to keep his distance from Megan. Curtis saw
all of this. He knew for that to happen, the cold, proud man must care deeply for her.
