I glanced at Elena nervously
Elena didnât say anything.
She just blinked at me, as though to tell me she agreed to keep it a secret for now.
I breathed a sigh of relief and answered Lightheartedly, âNothing
Then I reached for the handkerchief in my pocket and started dabbing the sweat off her forehead.
âDebra, were you cooking just now? Youâre sweating.
â
As expected, Debra was distracted and forgot all about her previous inquiry.
âFoodâs ready.
Come and sit at the table.
Tell Carlos to stay for dinner.
â
After Carlos washed his face one last time, we all sat down at the dining table.
Over dinner, Carlos complained, âWhy is this happening? My face is ruined.
How can I face Sally tomorrow?â
At first, Debra felt apologetic for Elenaâs mischief.
But at the mention of Sallyâs name, her face changed.
She narrowed her eyes at
Carlos and demanded, âYouâre going on a date with Sally?â
âYeah⦠Why?â Carlos, oblivious to the change in Debraâs expression, answered naturally.
Debra eyed Carlos coldly and warned, âYouâd better not hurt her,
Carlos.
If youâre not actually interested in her, Iâm telling you-stay away from her.
â
As she spoke, she kicked my shin from under the table.
I had no choice but to bite the bullet and echo Debraâs sentiments.
âSheâs right, Carlos.
If you donât like Sally, donât date her.
But if you do like her, treat her well.
Donât even think about looking at another woman.
Itâs bad to toy with women, you know?â
Carlos was outnumbered, so he had no choice but to promise us that heâd take good care of Sally.
âOkay, okay.
Iâll drive Sally home right after our date.
We wonât do anything.
Donât worry.
â
Only then did Debra sigh in relief.
But she still didnât trust Carlos completely.

She warned in a low voice, âYouâd better keep your word, or I wonât let you go.
â
After dinner, Carlos left.
Elena was a little tired after playing all day today, so she went to bed early.
Now, it was just me and Debra left in the Living room.
After a moment of silence, Debra suddenly got close to me and apologized.
âIâm sorry, Caleb.
