Chapter 1007

After a short pause, Carlos added, “Order a few more dishes.”

Frankie furrowed his brows. ‘Room 701? Isn’t his apartment on the sixth floor?’ But then, a woman’s

image popped up in his mind. Frankie instantly nodded.

“Yes, Carlos.”

As soon as Carlos had left the apartment, Stephanie dialed James’ number. When the call connected,

she said in a seemingly calm voice,

“Uncle James, it looks like Carlos is seeing some other woman.”

“What?! Who?” James asked, taken aback. He knew that Carlos wasn’t the type to play around with

women.

“I don’t know who it is. But. she choked on her words as she thought about their conversation in the

morning.

“Carlos was going to break up with me. But I didn’t give him the chance to say it out.” At that moment, it

dawned on her that Carlos wasn’t sexually impotent as she had thought. It was just that he wasn’t

interested in her at all. The realization shattered her heart.

James knitted his brows.

“I see. I’ll have someone look into it. Just pretend nothing has happened. I will take care of that woman,

whoever she is.”

“Okay, James. But…I do have a guess as to who she might be,” she said hesitantly. She’d had her

doubts for a while now and she said it out loud, “Could it be his ex-wife? Debbie?”

“Debbie?!” James exclaimed, jumping to his feet. The sudden mention of her name startled him to his

core. Through the receiver, Stephanie could sense the shock in his voice.

“Yes, it could be,” she confirmed again.

“That woman…She…she’s back in Alorith?” James was flustered.

Again, Stephanie could sense his voice trembling, but she didn’t think too much into it.

“Yes.”

“Did she meet Carlos?”

“Yes.”

James felt his heart pounding so fast, and his blood pressure was shooting up. After a long pause, he

calmed down and told Stephanie,

“Leave this to me. I’ll have you and Carlos married as soon as possible.”

“Thank you, James.”

After hanging up on her, James rummaged through his desk for his hypotensor, a drug to lower his

blood pressure. He finally felt better after taking two pills.

‘That bitch! She promised not to come back to Alorith anymore. And she had the guts to come crawling

back in secret. She even met Carlos!

Dammit!” he cursed furiously, banging his hand on the desk.

In the afternoon, Debbie was woken up by the doorbell once again.
