Chapter 346

ALL was quiet in the dead of night.

Tabitha knocked on the door of the study, and after Carlos gave his assent, she entered. Carlos was

working on his Laptop. Tabitha closed the door behind her and sat opposite him.

“You busy now?”

“I always have time for you. What do you need?” Carlos asked in reply.

“You and Debbie…” She paused, not knowing how to say it.

“You know, your father.

Carlos remained silent.

Tabitha continued, “He thinks the eldest daughter of the Lopez family…”

“Mom!” Carlos interrupted her.

“Debbie and I are married. Tell him to not interfere in my affairs when you get back home.”

Determination was written all over his face.

Thinking of her husband’s stubbornness, Tabitha flashed an embarrassed smile. Carlos folded his

laptop and said in a soft voice, “Mom, I’LL tell him about it myself. Don’t worry about it.”

“No! I know how you are. If you spoke to him yourself, you’d just end up in a big fight. I’ll talk to him,”

said Tabitha. Carlos and James

find each other again.

But when they finally reunited, they both were married-to other people!

Debbie’s grandmother had waited for Douglas for more than ten years before she had gotten married.

The Last time they had met each other, she was on her deathbed.

Douglas felt guilty and indebted to her when he knew that she had waited for him for so many years

Back then, she pointed at Debbie, who was washing some towels, and said, “I’m only worried about my

granddaughter. Her mother left her when she was born. She’s had a hard life. Could you please do me

a favor? If you know a nice boy, send him her way. She needs a good

Douglas agreed without hesitation and kept that in mind.

Not long after Debbie’s grandmother’s death, Douglas also fell deathly ill. When he got over his illness

and went to visit the Nelson family again, Artie, Debbie’s father, was already in bad health.

When Douglas first put forward a proposal to marry Debbie to Carlos.

Artie, who had heard of Carlos before, agreed to the proposal without hesitation.

Debbie had just broken up with Hayden back then. And she couldn’t bear to turn down her father, who

was terminally ill. She had been so mad at
