Chapter 722
Burning Passion: Love Never Die
The indoor heating system worked very well. When Debbie left the building, cold air pressed against
her skin. The chill raised goosebumps, and she was immediately uncomfortable.
She pulled her cloak around her with shivering hands. She let the wool do its work and keep her warm-
Emilio Pucci had designed this one well.
Debbie stopped to take a deep breath of fresh air, then sat on a swing, pulled her phone out of her
purse, and began to play on it.
Before she could open WeChat, a familiar voice broke the silence.
âDeb!â
Sighing in defeat, she raised her head to see Hayden making his way over to her.
Without responding, she lowered her head again to play with her phone.
She wasnât in the mood for a conversation.
Hayden didnât mind her indifference at all-he was used to the cold shoulder. He stood before her, took
something out of his pocket and held it out to her.
In the palm of his hand was a pair of delicate and exquisitely crafted ear studs, dazzling in the
afternoon sun.
Debbie was stunned.
âOkay, what is this?â she asked.
âI canât forget the time weâd spent together. You used to wear earrings like these. When I saw them at
the expo, I had to buy them. Go ahead.
Try them on,â he suggested.
Debbie kicked the ground, and the swing began to sway.
âThank you, Mr.
Hayden, but Iâm good. I canât take these, but your fiancee might really dig them.â
Had she worn ear studs like these? She couldnât remember, but Hayden could. âDoes that mean he
really Loved me?â she mused.
Hayden grabbed the rope of the swing to stop it from moving, which snapped Debbie out of her reverie.
Despite her reluctance, he offered, âI can put them on for you. Theyâll look really good.â After he had
reunited with Debbie, he had longed to buy her a gift, but hadnât found anything appropriate. Now he
had found the perfect gift and the perfect time to give it to her
âAre you deaf, Hayden? I said no!â Debbie decided that sticking around was the last thing she wanted.
She got to her feet and started towards the building.
Hayden heaved a sigh, contemplating the ear studs in his hand. Finally, he put them back in his pocket.
He grabbed for her wrist, and guided her back to the swing.
âOkay, okay. Donât get mad. Why donât you play on the swing? Hand me your purse, and Iâll push you.
Come on, you know you want to.â
âNo!â Debbie cried. But Hayden snatched her purse anyway and pushed her hard. The swing flew
forward. She had to hold on to the ropes tightly to avoid falling off.
âDammit! If you push me again, Iâll jump off!â she threatened. Now everyone knew she was Carlosâ
wife. If she were seen with Hayden,
