NovelEnglishAssured that Carlos was fast asleep, she got out of his arms and left the bed quietly.
She wanted a word with Megan.
Megan was sitting on the bench outside the ward, playing with her phone.
Seeing Debbie, she put her phone away and smiled without saying anything.
“I’LL take care of him. You can go,” Debbie said coldly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtImmediately, the expression on Megan’s face changed. Before she could say a word, Debbie warned, “Save your crocodile tears for someone else.
People might actually think that I’m bullying you. Your masquerade won’t work on me.”
Even so, Megan pleaded quietly, “Aunt Debbie, I’m really worried about
Uncle Carlos. Can you please letstay here?”
Debbie wouldn’t buy it.
“If you really cared about him, you wouldn’t have let him get shot twice because of you. There’s nobody else here, it’s just you and me. Cut the crap and level with me. How long do you plan on pestering my husband?”
The feigned sadness and weakness disappeared from Megan’s face. She smiled at Debbie malevolently.
“I love Carlos as much as you do. So how could I leave him alone? Besides, the entire Hilton family likes me.
They hate you. So it should beasking you, Debbie, when are you gonna divorce Carlos?”
Debbie wanted to slap her so badly. Carlos’ relationship with Megan always bugged her, and every tshe was justified.
“Um…he’s my husband?” It was less a question, and more incredulity that she would even ask.
“So what if they Like you? As long as Carlos Loves me, it doesn’t matter if the whole world’s on your side.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmMegan smiled conspiratorially.
“You really think Carlos Loves you?”
“Of course.” She could feel Carlos’ love for her. His every act was drenched in affection for her. Her feelings wouldn’t Lie. Megan’s words couldn’t change that.
“If he loves you so much, why didn’t he tell you about the birth control pills you took?”
Debbie was puzzled.
“What?” Though he’d initially been angry, the two had already made up and put the issue of the morning-after pills behind them. She wasn’t the most experienced sleuth, so Debbie couldn’t figure it out. Why did she test positive for those pills, when she never took any? In the end, she had thought it was simply because she had a voracious appetite. Maybe she had eaten something that contained the ingredients they tested for. If she ate a lot of it, that would explain the high levels they found.
But now that Megan had brought it up again, not to mention in that weird tone, Debbie knew something was fishy
“What do I mean? Debbie, you’re pathetically naive. Since we’re both women, I shouldn’t have to tell you that I don’t trust men. Carlos may have an open wallet when it comes to you. He may buy you a lot of pretty things. But that’s not Love.”
