Chapter 1448

Dixon was stunned for a second, but then smiled.

Truth be told, before he had met Kristina earlier that night, he hadn’t really forgotten their past. After all,

she had broken up with him over money. But when he saw her rich husband and realized that she was

living happily now, he finally felt relaxed. He didn’t need to worry about her anymore. And it was time

for him to move on too.

“Yes, I’ve dropped the past,” he said firmly. He wasn’t as excited as he had imagined he would be when

he saw Kristina again.

Debbie felt relieved to hear his response. Patting his shoulder, she comforted, “Rest assured. I’ll

introduce you to a nice girl.”

“No need. My mom has already arranged a blind date for me. I’ll meet her soon.”

“Really? But you just came back. Why the rush?”

“She’s not in good health. I’m thinking of getting married within the next two years. Hope she has

enough time to see her grandchild,” Dixon explained, smiling bitterly. Even back when he was in a

relationship with Kristina, his mother had been sick. She had been depending solely on medication to

stay alive. But Kristina knew nothing about this.

He’d done several part time jobs after school. Every month, when he got his salary, he would wire

three-fourth of the money to his parents, and he used to Live on the Little money that was left.

When he began to go out with Kristina, most of the remaining money would be spent on her.

There was a time when he was too poor to even have his basic three meals a day. Carlos had given

him a VIP card to the fifth floor of

Alioth. Dixon had always secretly gone there to buy himself a bowl of noodles using that VIP card. On a

few occasions, he would order a bowl of rice or a simple dish to keep himself a little fuller.

Gradually, he had become familiar with the managers of Alioth. They were kind people and sometimes

would give him a free dish.

This was the first time Debbie had heard Dixon talk about his mom’s health. She asked worriedly, “Is

your mom’s condition severe? You have a stable job now. You can take your mom to a better hospital

in the city.”

Dixon shook his head.

“It’s not that severe anymore. When I began my studies abroad, Carlos had arranged for a doctor to

send the necessary medicines to my parents’ house every month. Even though Carlos had lost his

memories later, the doctor continued to send the medicines as usual. My mom’s health is much better

now. Tomboy…” He paused and pushed his glasses up. Then he continued in a sentimental tone, “I

owe you and your husband too much.”

Dixon poured out his heart to Debbie. He was so grateful. If he hadn’t met her, then he’d never have

come across Carlos, who recognized his talent and gave him the tools to change his life.

Debbie was stunned for a while. She didn’t want him to feel too much pressure, so she said

purposefully, “Don’t say that. Carlos knows talent when he sees it. He’s smart too, which is why he

gave you the job. You’re working hard to pay him back, right? But of course, if you still feel like you owe

him, then. She paused, looking at him mischievously.

“Then what?”

“Then you can give yourself to him. Bwhahaha…” She began guffawing

Amused, Dixon also laughed out loud. He felt as if a heavy weight was being lifted off of his shoulders.

He echoed her joke, “If I give myself to Carlos, then won’t you get jealous? Will you be his wife or his

mistress?”

“I’m the wife-you’re the mistress. Lucky you’re a guy. If you were a woman, I’d be mad.” Yes, if Dixon

were an intelligent woman, sponsored to study abroad by Carlos, it would look like that Dixon was a

mistress.

Dixon always felt helpless at the weird ideas in this old friend’s mind. He shook his head and rebuked,

“What’s all that about? I wonder how Carlos puts up with you.”

“Hey, what do you mean? You mean I don’t deserve him?” Debbie snapped, sounding angry.

Dixon sighed gloomily. What did he say? Why did she twist his words like that? But he didn’t know what

to do about it.

“I didn’t mean it that way. You’re a Lucky woman. He’s the only one who can put you on a short leash.”
