Chapter: 201
Debbie. Why do you have to show off your affection in front of us? Are you even the same cool Mr. President anymore?”
Arm in arm, Carlos and Debbie sauntered forward to stand in front of
Curtis and Colleen. Grinning like a possum eating persimmon, Carlos enthused to Colleen, “When Curtis proposed to you before us, you two showed off your affection for each other as well. We were so jealous of you back then.”
At the mention of the Loving memories, Colleen smiled so broadly that her round eyes were reduced to slits. Curtis smiled as well. Then they looked each other in the eye, eyes full of affection.
The couple seemed devoted to each other, something that Debbie greatly admired.
The envy on her face didn’t escape Carlos’ notice. He held her hand tighter. ‘Debbie, from this day onwards, I, Carlos, will not have you admiring anyone else…‘ Carlos swore to himself.
Before any of them could speak, a young man’s voice came from behind their backs.
“Hey! Carlos and Curtis. I’ve heard a lot about you two!”
Turning around, Debbie saw two men, one in a black suit and the other in white walking toward them.
It was Jared’s brother, the guy in white who had called. Debbie knew who he was, but they were not acquaintances.
The man in black looked familiar to Debbie. She remembered she had seen him once on TV, and he was a colonel or something. ‘In real life, he looks much more handsome than on TV!’ Debbie thought,
letting her eyes settle upon the man’s face. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.
She was really surprised to see them here. Who was this Megan? Why did the four richest young men in Alorith all appear at her birthday party?
When he noticed his wife was drooling over another man, Carlos’ face soured. At once he pulled her into his arms and announced in a cold voice, “This is my wife, Debbie Nelson.”
The announcement caught Wesley off guard. Among the four of them, he was the youngest, and this being a big bash, he had probably come prepared to mingle. The first in the group of four to have a girlfriend was Curtis. His girlfriend, Colleen, was 28 years old, two years older than Wesley.
But Debbie, if his memory wasn’t lying, was only a college student and was only 21 years old!
Still single at 26, Wesley felt dejected to know that someone five years younger was in a stable relationship. Reluctantly, he stepped forward to stand before Debbie and made a military salute.
“Nice to meet you, Debbie. I’m Wesley Leonard.”
Although he was in a suit, it didn’t look weird when he made the salute. In fact, he looked quite charming.
The man’s loud and clear voice startled Debbie, but she immediately regained her composure and returned a not-so-standard salute.
“Nice to meet you, Colonel Leonard. I’ve practiced martial arts for years. I’d like to challenge you when you’re free some day.”
However, Wesley’s face changed dramatically at her words.
Some years back, he remembered a girl of Debbie’s age standing before him and cheerily saying, “Nice to meet you, Colonel Leonard. I’m your new neighbor Blair Johnson. I may have to trouble you in the future.”
Somehow, he realized that Debbie resembled the girl when she smiled.
Sadly, the girl got engaged to another man, shortly after Wesley had fallen in love with her.
Debbie was not a soldier and her arm went numb for maintaining the salute posture for two minutes. However, Wesley remained staring at her, without a word.
