Chapter 702
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Debbieâs heart skipped a beat when he said âbut,â and she asked, âBut what?â
âNothing. Didnât he tell you about the expo?â he asked curiously. The whole world would have its
attention turned to the expo, and Carlos should be taking his wife to it. Yetâ¦
âHe told me, but I refused to go with him,â she said honestly. Now, for some reason, she regretted
having turned Carlos down
Since Debbie had already declined Carlosâ offer, Gregory didnât think she would accept his invitation.
âWell, since you want to stay home, I better leave you be. Bye, Debbie.â
âWait!â Debbie stopped him.
âGregory, did Carlos do something to you after he had seen us together at that restaurant?â On one
hand, she was afraid that her petty husband wouldâve done something to hurt Gregory.
On the other hand, she sort of knew that he wouldnât because Gregory was Colleenâs brother.
âNo, he didnât. Carlos is always nice to me,â he replied. The truth was, when the new semester began,
most of the teachers began to pay more attention to him.
They left him with more homework, and made him the class monitor and commissary in charge of
literature and art. He was much busier than before.
They had said that they were doing this for his own good, but he didnât like it at all.
âGreat!â Debbie heaved a long sigh of relief.
âBy the way, you said
âbut.â But what? What did you want to tell me?â
Gregory hesitated for a while before answering honestly, âI heard from someone that Carlos was
attending the expo with⦠Portia.â
Debbie couldnât believe her ears. âWhat?! Portia? That woman again? She is everywhere! â
She gulped and asked, âWhy Portia?â She hated that woman.
âSorry Debbie, but I donât know why either. Iâm curious too. After all,
Carlos had shut her out from the entertainment circle before. And now he is attending the expo with
her. It is really confusing.â
Portia was a college student, and was not related to Carlos in any way.
But he had taken her out as his date a couple of times recently.
Gregory wondered, âIs it because Portia is pretty?
But Debbie is more beautiful than her.â
Debbie frowned at his words. âCarlos had shut her out before? Why didnât he tell me about this? Why
did he do it? Was it for me?â
âGregory, IâLL go with you,â she said all of a sudden. She wanted to keep an eye on Portia in case she
seduced her husband.
