True Love Waits novel Chapter 48

Debbie waited, but Carlos didn't reply to her message even after her next class had begun.

Meanwhile, an Emperor sped in the direction of ZL Group along the road.

The man in the backseat read the message he had received repeatedly, and his heart began to sing with joy.

Tristan, who was in the passenger seat, opened Carlos' schedule and started his report. "Mr. Huo, you are going to Singapore tomorrow for a couple of days. An accident has occurred in one of the factories there, and the problem still hasn't been resolved yet."

In the evening, Debbie lay in bed and paid full attention to every single noise that came in from outside the window. However, it was past midnight already and she still didn't hear the sound of Carlos' car.

'Is he angry at me? Did he really decide not to come home?

Did I cross the line? After all, this is his house and I kicked him out of it.'

With such thoughts running in her mind, Debbie felt troubled and restless.

Then she sent him another message to see how he would react. "Mr. Huo," she simply typed on her phone.

To her surprise, Carlos responded almost immediately, with a single-word reply, "Yes?"

Unfortunately, she didn't know what to say next as she stared blankly at her phone screen. Debby hesitated for a long moment. "Where are you?" she finally asked.

"Office." Carlos had just arrived at the branch company in Singapore and was set to work.

However, Debbie didn't know that he had gone abroad. She thought that he was still in Y City and had decided not to come back because of her message. "Well, about today, in the classroom, I... It was not my fault. You ignored me in front of everyone. Perhaps you should come back. It's okay. I can just avoid you in the villa,"

she gibbered nervously. She felt like she owed him an apology, but she was too embarrassed to go through with it.

Carlos guessed how conflicted she was at that moment as he read her message. 'She is so cute, ' he thought to himself.

Since he couldn't go back right now, Carlos replied, "Go to sleep."

Having noticed how short his replies were, Debbie assumed that he was angry with her. 'After I made the effort of contacting him, still, he doesn't want to come back. How can he be so petty?" She covered her head with the blanket in frustration.

'Fine. Suit yourself. I have apologized anyway." Soon after, she drifted into deep sleep.

But the next two days were unsettling for Debbie, because she hadn't seen Carlos even once. Neither at the university nor at the villa. For some reason, all his classes were postponed until further notice.

Confused and worried, Debbie finally asked Philip about Carlos' whereabouts. When she had finally learned the truth, she was relieved but also furious.

Debbie realized that he had already reached Singapore when he had gotten her messages the other night, and he had deliberately decided not to tell her the truth.

'I've been beating myself over this for two days, you self-centered son of a bitch.'

Two days ago, she had planned to go shopping with Kasie and Kristina, but then something had come up and they had to get a rain check on their plans.

Now that she knew Carlos didn't disappear because of her, she felt like binge shopping and soon, the three girls went to Shining International Plaza. Debbie bought clothes and cosmetics to her heart's content. Every time she spent Carlos' money, she felt as if she were kicking him in the sheen. She felt fantastic.

After Debbie had paid for the cosmetics, Kasie whispered, "Tomboy, you've been acting weird lately. You are wearing makeup, you've been buying cosmetics, and you are buying clothes that you would have never worn before. This isn't you. Are you really in love?"
