Chapter 1320
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âNo? Did I guess wrong?â Debbie let out a deep sigh.
But she had no time to think more about Carlosâ strange behavior. When she saw Carlos unwrapping
the gift box brought to him by her and Ivan, she quickly tried to stop him.
âCarlos, wait! You might want to wait till youâre alone.â
Her words fell on his deaf ears. He untied the blue ribbons and tore the wrapping paper from the box.

It was then that Stephanie finally found her chance to cut in.
âThis has gone far enough, Carlos!â
Reminded of her presence, Carlos slightly tilted his head and cast her a cold stare.
âNewsflash: weâre done. You were just a pawn I used to get back at Debbie.â
ALL the other people were dumbfounded. They gave Carlos a thumbs-up in their mind. âThatâs some
serious chutzpah. Way to go, Carlos!â
Humiliated, Stephanie blushed in anger. She pointed at Carlos, yelling in a trembling voice, âCarlosâ¦
You You asshole!â
As he went on to unwrap the present, he questioned casually without looking at her, âYou jumped at the
chance to become my girlfriend right when I emerged from my coma. James even arranged it for you,
ruining my life to do so. Whoâs the asshole again?â
Feeling a little guilty, Stephanie couldnât find the words to form a retort. He wasnât wrong. Meanwhile,
she sensed something was very wrong with Carlos. She didnât belabor the point-all sheâd do was
humiliate herself. This was not the right time. So she grabbed her handbag and stormed out of the
private room without another word.
Carlos finally opened the box and moved the crepe paper aside to reveal his gift. He held it up for
everyone to see. The guests Looked at the present in his hands, eyes wide in surprise. It was menâs
underwear, and specifically, menâs triangle briefs.
More surprisingly, there was a cute bowknot on the elastic waistband.
âBwahahaâ¦â Damon was the first to break the silence with a fit of laughter. He couldnât believe his
eyes. What a weird woman! How could she give Carlos something Like that?
Niles was the next to start guffawing. He gave a thumbs-up to Debbie whose face was red from
embarrassment.
Xavier and Yates also started chuckling uncontrollably.
Even Wesley, the serious colonel, grinned from ear to ear and watched the show with keen interest.
They thought that the manly Carlos might get angry when he saw this
But much to their surprise, he wasnât pissed. Instead, he carefully put the underwear back to the box
and put it aside.
Then, he straightened his clothes and said calmly, âI need a cigarette.
Have fun.â
With that, he made his way to the balcony overlooking the golf course, ignoring everyoneâs confused
gaze.
They exchanged curious glances with each other, unable to understand
Carlosâ behavior tonight.
