Chapter 1028

James.

“Dad, would you like to go to a tea house and talk?”

James continued acting like a caring father in front of Carlos.

“No need for that. It’s no big deal. Are you accustomed to working at the company now?”

“Yes, Dad. Everything is fine.”

“I’m glad to hear that.” James put down the glass and added, “Carlos, now that you are fully recovered,

I shall return the CEO’s position-“

Carlos interrupted him, “Dad, there’s no hurry. We can talk about this later.”

James was thrilled deep down, but he feigned worry.

“No, no. Three years ago, you were at death’s door. I had no choice but to take over the position to

assure the cooperation of the shareholders and the employees. Now that you are fine, I must return the

position to you. I will go back to New York and work from there.”

“Dad, just leave it be for now.” Carlos sat opposite James and went on,

“There’s something that I need to know from you.”

James had a hunch about what Carlos was going to ask, and his heart skipped a beat. He furrowed his

eyebrows and asked, “What is it?”

“How was Debbie related to me in the past?” Carlos asked. He felt that he was becoming more and

more attracted to her. So, he decided to learn all about what exactly had happened between them.

The reason James was at Carlos’ office was to talk to him about Debbie.

He was glad that Carlos had taken the initiative. If not, he would have had to find a round-about way to

mention her without sounding strange

James changed his expression dramatically on purpose. After a Long pause, he asked, “Why do you

know that woman? Did you meet her?”

Seeing his long face, Carlos said calmly, “Yes, I met her. She said that we shared a relationship.”

“Where did you see her?” James seemed very nervous to Carlos. Of course, it was all fake.

“Zugrurg.” James’ behavior didn’t seem right, so Carlos decided not to reveal the entire truth.

James realized that something was off since Carlos had just lied to him. He already knew that Debbie

was in Alorith.

Both father and son were indulged in their own thoughts at that moment.

Faking grief and anger, James began, “That woman brought shame to our family. I wanted to hide

everything from you, but…”

“What happened?” Carlos asked with a frown.

After some hesitation, James said, “She… she is your ex-wife.”

Debbie had told him that. So when James confirmed it, Carlos was not surprised at all.
