Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Debbie insisted, “Yes, they were just cosmetics, but your uncle Carlos bought them for me. I didn’t even have the heart to use them. Now, look at this mess! They’re all ruined. Do you think a little boy is capable of taking the responsibility? Would it be too much to ask his parents to apologize?”

Megan awkwardly Looked at Carlos, who remained silent. As if oblivious of her stare, he stood next to Debbie, with no intention of uttering a word.

Standing there, Tabitha watched everything quietly.

Without backup, Megan said weakly, “Aunt Debbie, please don’t be mad.

It was me who brought Jake here. How about I compensate you for the ruined cosmetics? I can have a new set delivered here very soon. Boys tend to be naughty. Please don’t take a little boy’s naughtiness to heart.”

‘I’m the one taking the Little boy’s naughtiness to heart? Megan, that’s quite a tongue you have!’ Debbie sneered inwardly. This content © Nôv/elDr(a)m/a.Org.

“Don’t bother! I only need an apology. Just call his parents,” she demanded.

Then, she turned to Tabitha, full of guilt.

“Sorry, Mom, I will clean up the mess right away.”

Tabitha smiled, “Debbie, come out of the bathroom. Leave the cleaning to the housemaids.”

Debbie turned her back to the others to wipe her eyes. Carlos pulled her by the arm and said, “Walk with me.”

Knowing she wouldn’t be able to say no, Debbie followed him out of the bathroom with her head down.

Carlos took her into the walk-in closet and closed the door. Gently, he wiped the tears from her face and soothed her, “Those were just cosmetics. They were not worth your tears.”

The more she thought about it, the more she got upset.

“I always liked that brand but I couldn’t afford it. I might never be able to wear that kind of makeup if it were not for the bank card you gave me. Now that I finally had them, they were ruined. Tens of thousands of dollars were spent for nothing,” she sobbed.

“It’s no big deal. Sugar, don’t cry. If you like that brand so much,

I’1l ask them to deliver a few more sets here,” he said.

Debbie wiped her eyes and glared at him.

“Tens of thousands of dollars is no big deal? You worked hard for that money! Why should it be wasted? You might have stayed up late to earn it or drank with your clients just to make them happy. It’s not easy to make money. Besides, that boy was way too rude. Somebody needs to knock some sense into his head,” she told him.

It would have been easier for her to let go if the boy hadn’t done it on purpose. But he not only refused to apologize but also threw a jar at her.

The old her would have spanked him by now.

Carlos realized that Debbie wasn’t mad just because of the cosmetics.

She was mad partly because of the boy’s bad attitude and partly because she felt as if his hard work had been wasted.

“Okay, there, there. You know I don’t care about that sum of money, so don’t get so upset. Go get changed. I’ll ask Megan to call the boy’s parents, all right?” he comforted her.

After wiping away her tears, he kissed her eyes gently.
