NovelEnglishGail was seething in anger, while Gregory stayed calm. Seeing the exchange between them, Debbie burst into Laughter. She walked closer to
Gregory and whispered in his ear, “Gregory, thank you for the compliment.
But this girl is my cousin. Could you let her go, please?” Gregory was suddenly lost in a trance as he breathed in her scent and gazed at her delicate face. He couldn’t say anything in return.
Hearing no response from him, Debbie misinterpreted his expression and thought that he was angry with her too. Embarrassed, she stepped back and stood at a distance from him.
Her gesture snapped Gregory back to his senses. Recalling what Debbie had asked, he said in a haste, “Rest assured, Debbie. I’m not petty enough to try and get even with a girl. I’m going back now.”

Soon after Gregory Left, Jared showed up and slowly walked towards her
With obvious worry in his eyes, he shouted, “Debbie, where have you been? I’ve been looking all over for you since noon. Why are you just standing here? Aren’t you cold? There’s a stove inside the house. Cand warm yourself up.”
Debbie sniffled lightly. She felt touched by what all her friends did for her.
Gregory had defended her in front of Gail and now Jared was worried about her health. But somewhere in her heart, she felt like something was lacking. She wondered what it was.
But she soon realized what she had been missing.
When Debbie was close enough to him, Jared whispered, “Hey, I got sinteresting news for you. Carlos had apparently arranged for someone to tell the village head to give you special care. Did you know about this? Okay, no need to answer that. I just saw a huge question mark pop up on your face. You had no idea, did you? Your husband is really warm and caring.” Jared was so envious of Debbie at that moment. She had received selectric appliances to keep warm at night, but he had nothing. He only had a man to sleep together with in the sbed to keep warm, yet, the man wouldn’t allow Jared to hug him.
Debbie blinked her eyes, unable to process the information.
“Who told you this?” She had no idea at all. She couldn’t believe that Carlos’ influence could reach such a remote village.
“I heard it from the village head!” Jared replied. He had gone to the village head’s house in an attempt to get an electric warming fan or at least, an electric blanket. Much to his disappointment, he hadn’t gotten anything. Perhaps, the only thing to help him keep warm now would be wine, which thankfully, their hosts had supplied in plenty. So he joined the village head for a drink with the accompaniment of shearty talks. But the elder was no heavy drinker. Only a few glasses down and he dropped the guard, turning into a blabbermouth.
In between his juicy tales, he let slip to Jared that someone had requested the villagers to give special care to Debbie. Although he didn’t know who that person was, he remembered someone mentioned about a n“Carlos”.
From the village head’s words, Jared could put two and two together

Southon Village.
Touched by Carlos’ gesture, Debbie flashed a sweet smile. But she didn’t want to admit the happiness exploding in her heart. Instead she faked a retort to Jared.
“No, I don’t think the village head was telling the truth.”
“Oh, really? But I can see you smiling from ear to ear. Why don’t you just admit that you’re on cloud nine now?” Jared teased.
Debbie turned around and glared at him.
“Just go and do night running.
It will help you keep warm!”
