Chapter 1318

“I missed you so much. The only thing I knew about you was what I heard on the news. Apparently, you

got famous. Am I too late?”

“Um… no…” Debbie was stumped. What should she say? What could she say? Yes? No? Neither

sounded right. His timing wasn’t right, that was for certain.

“Gregory, let me go. People are staring at us.” She tried to squirm free.

Overjoyed to see her again, Gregory wouldn’t take the hint, nor did he remove his arms from her.

Colleen knew how things were between Carlos and Debbie. She decided to get involved, separate the

two before Carlos blew a fuse.

But Carlos beat her to it.

He grabbed Debbie by the wrist and roughly yanked her out of Gregory’s arms.

Suddenly, the room was so quiet. No one dared breathe, for fear the sound would break the silence.

Adriana figured out what was going on, and herded the kids to another room.

And a stunned Gregory finally got the message. Even though Debbie and

Carlos were divorced, they still loved each other

Carlos looked Debbie in the eye and was about to say something, but then an acute pain shot through

his brain. He closed his eyes and bowed his head. His eyes scrunched in agony. It was as if a white hot

knife sliced through his thoughts

But the pain was gone a few seconds later, like it had never been there.

Then he looked up at Debbie without talking.

And nobody else dared make a sound. The atmosphere of dread was palpable.

Kinsley and Niles exchanged glances. They wanted to Laugh, crack a joke, do something, but the killer

look in Carlos’ eyes made them lose their nerve.

The silence lasted ten minutes. Carlos changed expressions at the drop of a hat. No one knew what

was going on, but the atmosphere of danger he radiated kept them from trying to see if he was okay.

For the first time, Debbie saw so many expressions on his face.

When everybody was trying to figure out what was going through his mind, he suddenly lunged at

Debbie, wrapping her in his arms.

“How could you marry Ivan!” he said through gritted teeth.

“Damn you! Did you just pretend I was dead? Was it easier that way?”

His abrupt rage astonished her. It was like a storm surge ravaging a coastline.

“You…you… you were going to marry Stephanie. Why do you get to be angry at me?” She was

confused. She and Ivan had been married for a while. Why was Carlos angry at her now?

Her backtalk made Carlos furious.

“Then why didn’t you stop me? Or yell at me? Why didn’t you beat me up and knock some sense into

me? Why didn’t you chase her off? Why did you give up easily on me? That’s not like you.”
