Chapter 1254

Kasie was surprised.

Ivan let her go and reassured her with a smile, “Don’t worry. Nothing will happen.” He scratched his

head.

“Maybe I could work during the night while you rest.” Ivan pointed at his computer on the desk beside

the bed.

“It’s okay. I think I’ll sleep in my bed. Thanks. Good night.”

Ivan could see the vulnerability and helplessness under her brave disguise. It hurt him. He gave her

hand a comforting squeeze and said gently, “Don’t be a hero. Stay here. Trust me.”

“But Debbie…“ “…will be mad,” she wanted to say. No matter what,

Debbie was married to Ivan. Kasie thought she’d be miffed if she spent the night in his room.

Ivan got it.

“Debbie won’t mind. She loves Carlos, and she’s with him

So, go to sleep.”

Once again, their marriage puzzled her.

“Why are you two married, anyway? You don’t love each other, so what’s up with that?”

Ivan smiled.

“Not now. It’s not the right time.”

Kasie decided to trust him, and stay the night.

Lying in bed, she watched Ivan working at his computer, the glow of the screen illuminating his face.

She tossed and turned, for God knows how long, but sleep wouldn’t come.

“Um, maybe you should come to bed too,” she said, sitting up.

Ivan rubbed his forehead.

“I’m good. Go back to sleep. I’ll crash on the sofa.”

Kasie thought about it for a minute, and then got out of bed. She walked over to Ivan, slowly closed his

Laptop and said, “I trust you.”

He promised he would divorce Debbie. She believed he was a decent man and would never cross the

line before he and Debbie got a divorce.

When he heard this, Ivan stopped protesting. He Left the chair and lay beside her on the bed.

The next morning, Debbie felt something hit her face. She opened her eyes and found herself in

Carlos’ arms.

She reached out to touch her face. Then she screamed, “Ahhhhh!” She raised her head and glared at

the wheeling, skirling birds flying free in the sky.

Carlos was roused by her scream. He hadn’t fallen asleep until dawn. He looked at her, trying to figure

out what happened. When he finally figured it out, he couldn’t stop Laughing
