“Daddy’s eating. Mommy went out. She’s on the phone.” Piggy didn’t know where Debbie went.
“Did you have Lunch? Are you hungry?” Carlos asked patiently.
“I’m full. Daddy fed me. I also had milk. Not hungry.”
Carlos stroked her hair and coaxed, “How about I take you to your daddy and mommy? They must be scared, not knowing where you are.”

“Hayden was involved in Debbie’s scandal, ‘ Carlos thought. His mood darkened, dampening the joy he felt at seeing Evelyn.

Debbie’s her mom.”
Hayden studied Carlos’ face when he said that.
There was no mistake that Carlos’ cold expression darkened even further when he learned Debbie was Piggy’s mother.
Carlos compared Evelyn’s adorable face to Debbie’s and found that they did look alike. ‘Piggy is really Debbie’s daughter! Debbie and Hayden’s daughter!’ Thinking of this, Carlos said sarcastically, “Hayden, you’re married. How could you have a kid with someone else? The child is illegitimate. Don’t you feel bad about that?”
Hayden, on the other hand, didn’t seem to mind his sarcasm.
