Chapter 233
He cast a cold glance at her and shrugged on his coat without saying a word.
The smile on her face disappeared as she stated in a cold voice, “I haven’t forgiven you yet. If you want me to forgive you, then don’t get
Emmett involved in our fight. After all, it was I who threatened him to keep my identity a secret. He had no choice.”
“It has nothing to do with me,” he answered indifferently.
Debbie didn’t expect him to say that. Or act like that.
‘What a petty man! Fine. Maybe my feminine wiles…’ “Can you please let him come back?” she asked in a soft voice.
“Can you please stop being mad at me?” he asked in reply.
Reluctantly, she answered, “Okay. I’m not mad at you anymore.”
“Then I’ll let him come back when I’m not angry at him anymore,” he offered.
Debbie jumped to her feet and snapped, “Then I won’t forgive you!” This text is © NôvelDrama/.Org.
“Poor Emmett. He’ll have to haul around bricks on that construction site for a long time,” he sighed. He turned around and walked towards the gates.
Debbie’s jaw dropped. She wanted to find a way to bargain with the man.
But after he had changed his shoes, she hadn’t figured it out yet. She could only run toward him and hold his arm tightly.
“I’m not mad at you now. Can you just forgive Emmett this time? C’mon old man…”
Trying hard to suppress his laughter, Philip opened the gates for
Carlos and wondered, ‘Debbie is so cute. She knows how to deal with
Carlos. He’s a sucker for sweetness, but never command him to do anything. ‘
“What did you just call me?” Carlos asked in a cold voice. He never liked that epithet much, and saw no reason to do anything for her when she was like that. He Liked to have everything under his control.
Embarrassed, Debbie cast a glance at Philip. He immediately got her point and left the villa.
Once she was sure Philip was out of earshot, she held Carlos’ arm and said “Honey” in a sweet voice.
Satisfied, Carlos smiled, but he feigned anger and asked in a stern voice, “He’s that important to you? You’re going to do what I want just for him?!”
“It’s not what you think. There’s nothing going on between Emmett and me. The day we met at Shining International Plaza, I only asked him not to tell you who I was. It’s so unfair that he’s being punished because of me. Can you forgive him and let him come back? Otherwise, this whole thing will weigh me down; I may not be able to lift the spoon at the dining table.”
In her usual playful manner, Debbie forgot how important this was for
Emmett and trailed off into a joke. Carlos pried her hand off and left her with a terse message as he Left for work—”Be attentive in your lessons.”
Debbie felt frustrated. ‘I begged so hard and he Left me hanging? He didn’t even say whether he had forgiven Emmett or not.’
