Chapter 651
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Debbie felt that something was strange. But she couldnât put her finger on it.
âOkay, doesnât matter. Jasper, I shouldnât take up more of your time. Goodbye now.â
âHmm. Donât be a stranger. Come to our house to have fun next time.
Iâll have Jaredâs mom make your favorite desserts,â Jasper said.
Debbie had been to Jaredâs house a couple of times. Faye Jones, Jaredâs mother and Damonâs
stepmother, had been very nice to her, as she thought Debbie was Jaredâs girlfriend. They corrected
her, and she was somewhat embarrassed by her mistake. Nonetheless, she still treated
Debbie very well.
âOkay. Thank you, Jasper. Goodbye,â said Debbie.
âBye, Debbie.
â After hanging up, Debbie called Kasie. But unfortunately, her phone was off.
She sighed and then tried to contact Kristina. But before she could do that, her phone rang. It was
Colleen.
âHi, Colleen,â Debbie called out in a depressed voice.
Colleen could tell that she was in low spirits.
âHey Debbie! What are you doing now? You free? How about we go out for drinks?â
This was exactly what Debbie wanted! She slapped her thigh and agreed cheerfully, âSure. Why not?â
She was trying to find someone to hang out with when Colleen called.
âIâLL book a place and send you the location on WeChat,â said Colleen.
âMm-hmm. IâLL be waiting for you.â
Debbie heaved a sigh of relief as she could drown her sorrows this evening.
âI thought you werenât allowed to drink,â Gus said to Debbie in confusion.
Puzzled, Debbie asked in reply, âWhat? Who told you that?â
âCurtis. He told me your husband banned you from drinking,â he answered honestly. His brother also
told him that if he saw Debbie drinking, he should not only pay her tab, but also get her to a safe place
so that Carlos couldnât lecture her.
Debbie was left speechless. âReally? Ban me from drinking? Well, he might be someone elseâs
husband soon. And he has no right to tell me what to do anymore.â She was more convinced than ever
she was right about that. Carlos chose to defend Megan over her, so as far as she was concerned,
they were done. Besides, she thought it was a stupid rule that she couldnât go out and drown her
sorrows in alcohol. How else was she supposed to bleed off stress? Meditate?
Not knowing where else to go, Debbie asked Gus to drop her at a shopping malt.
She had originally planned to visit her aunt and uncle with Carlos. But now it seemed impossible. The
stubborn girl didnât want to even think about her errant husband right now.
Debbie went on a shopping spree, walking past all the things the mall had to offer. Movie theaters with
the latest releases, karaoke lounges, lively gaming arcades, tranquil beauty spas, indoor ice rinks, not
to mention the hottest restaurants in town. It seemed a great place to kill some time, but she knew what
she had her heart set on. She took a cab to the Murphy familyâs house with Loads of shopping bags.
