Chapter 377
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
âIâm wondering the same thing.â Debbie smiled bitterly.
When she heard Debbieâs first words, Megan accidentally poured hot water on her hand. Carlos asked
the waiter to get some ointment for her, but that was it. He didnât do anything else.
As Debbieâs words turned harsher, Megan stared at the man next to her, a wronged expression on her
face. Since he was within earshot, she believed he had heard every single word Debbie had said.
However, there was no response from him. His face remained blank. Silently, Megan worked on her
emotion. Soon, a single tear rolled down her cheek.
Carlos didnât notice it, though. The boy did. He was talking about something, but stopped immediately
and asked, âMegan, whatâs wrong? Why are you crying? Is it something I said? Iâm so sorry.â
In a fluster, Megan grabbed a tissue from the table and wiped her eyes carefully.
âNo, itâs not. Itâs nothing. Iâm fine,â she said.
It was only then that Carlos realized that Megan was crying. He frowned and handed her a napkin.
âDonât bother her again!â he said to the boy sternly.
The boy was the same age as Megan and he was visibly terrified of
Carlos from the very beginning. Carlosâ order made his forehead sweat.
He nodded and then nodded some more.
âI⦠Megan, Iâm s-sorry for bothering you. Bye.â
As soon as he managed to stutter those words, the poor boy fled.
Left alone with Carlos, Megan asked in a Low voice, âUncle Carlos, does
Aunt Debbie have a problem with me? She seems to dislike me. Last time, she got mad at Jake when I
brought him to the villa. Now she is calling me a⦠Uncle Carlos, Iâ¦â
Megan sounded sadder and more desperate as she spoke. She started to pant for breath.
Debbie could hear her crying. When she turned to look at her, she saw
Carlos comforting the girl, holding her in his arms. She heard him say,
âDonât cry. Youâre in poor health. Crying will only make it worse.â
Debbie was shocked by his actions. She used to think that his tenderness was meant only for her. But
now, she knew that she was just being naive.
It turned out that Megan was way more important to Carlos than she had thought .
All the dishes had been served at their table. Debbie and Hayden started eating. Meanwhile, the pair
from the neighboring table stood up and approached them. Hands in his pockets, Carlos said
indifferently
âHayden, enjoy your meal. Iâve already taken care of the bill. Weâre leaving.â
His attention was entirely focused on the woman who was silently eating her food with her head hung
low. Debbie never looked up, pretending like he wasnât even there.
Hayden stood up to shake hands with Carlos.
