Harlanâs series of questions rendered me speechless.
The lack of communication made us appear like strangers instead of a couple.
Afraid that Carlos would reach the same conclusion, I kicked Harlan secretly.
Only then did Harlan realize the problem and shut his mouth.
âDebra, we should go and get the examination done.
Iâll drive you there.
â Carlos Looked at me and Harlan intently.
âNo, I donât think itâs necessary.
I feel good.
â I refused his request without hesitation.
But Carlos wasnât deterred.
âYou already have a boyfriend, yet you keep Caleb dangling.
Thatâs why youâre refusing his kind gesture, isnât it?â I gaped at him.
âExcuse me?â
Carlos looked at me up and down.
âI know Caleb very well.
If you want to refuse him, the best way is to accept his compensation and then leave.
â
When I was about to refuse again, he continued, âYou need to reconsider your decision.
Otherwise, I have no choice but to come to the conclusion that you are playing hard to get.
â
Huh? Now I was left with no other choice.
I was too angry to say anything.
Unfortunately, Caleb didnât show up today, so I couldnât vent my anger on him.
âAlright, Iâll go with you for the check-up.
But please inform Caleb that this is a one-time occurrence.
He shouldnât bother me with any more excuses.
My boyfriend will be angry.

I held Harlanâs arm and tightened my grip on purpose.
He got my hint and replied, âYes! I donât like it.
â
Carlos held back his laughter.
âI see.
â
Cheeks burning red with anger, I followed him to the hospital.
I refused the so-called overall physical examination and opted for a simple check-up.
The doctor didnât force me and was very professional when doing the check-up.
After the examination, he asked me, âDid you have a major operation five years ago?â
My eyes went wide and I was left floundering.
Five years ago, I gave birth to the twins, but it was not written on my medical records.
If I admitted to the operation now, Adam would become suspicious once he found out about it.
I didnât do any other examination today.
If I denied it, the doctor would not be able to realize I was lying.
So I chose to lie.
âNo.
I havenât had any surgery.
â
The doctor looked a little skeptical, but he didnât ask anything more.
He waved his hand and told me that I could leave.
âPlease have a good rest after going home.
â
That was it? It was really fast.
