novelWho Is My Mother
| ← Ch.0114 | Ch.0116 → |
Debbie fixed her gaze on Gail, with a cold fury in her eyes."How the hell do you know I have a brother? And how come you know where he is?"
With an increasing amount of her time being spent with Carlos, she was beginning to resemble him in quite a few aspects. Right now, her eyes were as intimidating as Carlos' when he got angry. Gail was scared by her strong aura and took a few steps back. She had once eavesdropped on her parents' conversation, but didn't know much details. She had mentioned it only to get Debbie to talk."I know everything, " Gail bluffed."I know about your mother. Her family took your brother abroad when he was a baby. You weren't even born yet."
Mother... It was a taboo word to Debbie.
She grabbed Gail by her collars and shouted in a harsh voice, "Tell me more!"
"Let me go! What do you think you're doing, Debbie Nian? I thought you had become a good girl now. But evidently, I heard wrong. You haven't changed a bit. You're the same bully as before!" Gail broke off Debbie's grip and adjusted her messy shirt in annoyance.
The last few days, Gail's classmates had been all telling her that Debbie had changed—she was now a good student and did not bully people anymore. Gail knew better than anyone else whether Debbie had changed or not. After all, she and Debbie had known each other for around twenty years. Gail had to admit that Debbie had indeed changed—she had become a better girl, and this fact angered Gail even more than her relationship with Carlos.
"Tell me!" Debbie repeated through gritted teeth.
Out of fear, Gail had to give in to her. Despite her unwillingness, she started her story."Fine... Your maternal grandfather was completely against your mother being with your father, and when they wouldn't listen, took your brother away from them. The next year, your mother gave birth to you. When you were two months old, your grandfather also took your mother away. That's all I know. I swear!" Gail had only heard this much before she had been discovered by a servant in her family. She had pretended that she had just come back home. As a result, Lucinda and Sebastian had no idea that their daughter had heard them talking about Debbie's family.
Debbie remained speechless for a long time, pondering on what Gail had told her.
'Why did grandpa forbid mom from being with dad? Why did he take mom and brother away from me and dad?
So mom didn't abandon us... '
When she came back to her senses and wanted to ask Gail some more questions, Gail spoke first."Tell me the relationship between you and Carlos Huo. Or I am just going to shut up and nothing i s in the sky, I'll be there. I swear like the shadow that's by your side. I'll be there, for better or worse, till death do us part. I'll love you with every beat of my heart..."
This was the first time Debbie had heard Carlos sing. His voice was so alluring she couldn't help but sink deeper into him.
She withdrew her hand from his coat and pictured his face with it. His face had well-defined angles—his forehead, cheeks and jawline. Although he didn't say it out loud, she knew he was confessing his love with the song. Joy gleamed in her eyes.
"Carlos Huo!"
"What?"
"Promise me, you will never ever leave me." Debbie used to be a tough tomboy. But now, she just wanted to be a soft girl, standing in the arms of her dear husband.
"I promise you."
After saying that, Carlos lowered his head and kissed her right on her lips. Every time they had kissed, it had been more passionate than before, as if they were the only two people left in the world. He scooped Debbie into his arms, and carried her into the house.
As a germophobe, Carlos had a habit of taking a shower first whenever he got back home. But right now, the most important thing to him was to have sex with Debbie.
It was not until after wild sex that Carlos finally went into the bathroom with Debbie in his arms.
Debbie really had no idea why Carlos had been turned on. After she had heard him promise her that he would never leave her, she hadn't had a chance to say a word and had been scooped inside. 'He's such a jerk! Why did he have to ruin the moment and become the old goat again?'
The next morning, when Debbie was still sound asleep, her lips were pressed against by Carlos' and he whispered in her ear, "Honey, it's time to go to the airport."
