I shook my head immediately.
âNo, I canât.
Earlier at the hospital, Debra saw me with Marley.
She was very angry.
If I suddenly tell her that I have a son, she might not be able to accept it.
â
âBut isnât it a bad idea to keep it a secret from her? If Debra finds out about Dylan, wonât she misunderstand you again?â
âItâs better than hurting her now,â I countered, pursing my lips unhappily.
âRemember? When I first found out about Elena, I thought that she was Harlanâs daughter.
I felt so depressed.
I donât want her to feel the way I did.
â
Carlos was stunned.
With a serious expression, I continued, âCarlos, I plan to tell her the truth once she finally trusts me with all her heart.
Maybe that way, she wonât get as hurt.
But before then, please keep this a secret for me.
â
Carlos looked at me helplessly, as though he didnât know what to say.
In the end, he just sighed.
âYouâve changed, Caleb.
Before, when you used to chase after girls, you never really considered their feelings.
Now, not only do you consider Debraâs feelings, but you even put yourself in her shoes.
I guess miracles really do happen!â
I shook my head wryly.
âBecause sheâs not just any woman.
Sheâs the woman I love.
â
Carlos nodded and looked at me with admiration.
âYouâre right, and I can see that.
â
After a slight pause, he asked, âSpeaking of Marley, how did it the negotiation go?â
At the mention of this, my mood soured once more.
âI tried to talk to her, but I doubt itâll be easy for her to give up on the town.
â
âSo what should we do?â Carlos also frowned tightly.
I thought for a while and analyzed, âWe canât let Adam seek out more buyers.
We have to settle the price with him and end this matter as soon as possible.
Dylanâs also waiting for me to come home, so the sooner we finish this, the better.
â
Thinking of Dylan, my heart softened.

Carlos nodded in agreement.
âOkay, letâs do it.
Something might go wrong if we wait too longâ¦â
Carlos suddenly stopped abruptly mid-sentence.
I noticed that he was looking at something behind me, so I followed his line sight.
Standing at the door of the bathroom was a small figure.
She had golden hair, amber eyes, and a doll-Like face.
It was Elena!
