Lucinda opened the gate and got confused when she saw Debbie’s haul.
“Why all the bags?” she asked.
With an embarrassed smile, Debbie told a lie.

“Carlos calledand said he was too busy to visit. He already sent us gifts. Why did you buy more?” Debbie was shocked.
“Gifts? When did he send them?”
Lucinda helped Debbie put the bags in a corner and led her to the living room while saying, “Yesterday. Emmett dropped by and left gifts, along with Carlos’ apologies. Your husband said you guys would cby when he wasn’t busy. You didn’t know?”
Sasha was lying on the couch, a facial mask covering her face. She greeted Debbie in a mumble, “Deb!”
Debbie nodded at her, and then said to Lucinda, “He didn’t tell me.
Forget it. I can still bring you gifts, even if he already did. The more, the merrier!” Carlos didn’t reply to her message, so she thought he didn’t want to visit Lucinda with her.
Lucinda rolled her eyes at Debbie.
“Con! Don’t say it like that.
You’re husband and wife, and you should behave like a couple. Chere. Have sfruit. Emmett brought all kinds of fruit—flown from overseas. So sweet!”
Debbie was again speechless. She was still mad at Carlos, and didn’t want to eat anything he sent.
However, she didn’t want her aunt to worry about her. So she picked up a slice of mango with a fork, pretending to enjoy it. She couldn’t deny that it was succulent and delicious.

Debbie replied, “Cool. See you then.”

She then bade Lucinda and Sasha goodbye.
