Chapter 1249

“I stopped loving him years ago. Besides, he’s married. We still talk because he helped me out a lot

after I left the city.”

Sea breeze blew on their faces, ruffled their hair. After a moment, she continued, “Now, I married Ivan,

but it’s not what you think. There’s a reason, but I can’t tell you right now. So, are you gonna marry

Stephanie?”

Her eyes sparkled in the dark. Carlos kissed her hair and asked, “Why?

Do you want me to?”

“No!

Debbie answered simply.

Carlos nodded.

He pulled her into his arms and kissed her.

“I won’t marry Stephanie.

But what about Ivan? He doesn’t love you.”

“Okay, I’ll leave him,” she muttered.

“But it’ll have to wait.”

Carlos remained silent.

He was thinking about Piggy. So Hayden wasn’t the dad? Ivan? Probably not. Then who was her real

father?

Suddenly, something dawned on him.

Neither of them said anything else. They immersed themselves in the moment. But Carlos focused on

controlling himself. This wasn’t the time or place.

Debbie knew why he went quiet. Panting, she cradled his neck and said,

“Old man, I…” She wanted to tell him she and Ivan had never slept together.

But Carlos already let her go and waded into the ocean.

He could swim, but his leg was injured. Worried, Debbie sat up and shouted after him, “Hey! Be careful!

Watch that leg.”

They slept in each other’s arms, underneath a tree.

The night was cold. To keep warm, Debbie kept snuggling closer to

Carlos in her sleep. The touch of their bodies aroused him. But he understood: now was not the time.

Debbie realized too, when he turned over and she saw his erection.
