Chapter 26
“That’s just an employee from my company, helping to choose gifts. I thought girls might pick more carefully,” Juan replied, looking at Debra with affection
If she hadn’t known Juan’s thoughts, she might have been fooled by his gaze.
Seeing their intimacy, Rosalle couldn’t hide her embarrassment.
She heard that Juan was dating a college girl, and everyone knew that Juan didn’t like Debra.
“Juan is not only talented but also cares for our Debra, I feel reassured that she is with you. Her father in heaven would also be reassured. And this is a family banquet. There is no need to be so formal,” Ralph said, urging Juan to take a seat.
Debra held Juan’s arm and whispered, “Didn’t expect your acting skills to be quite good.”
“Likewise,” Juan said indifferently.
Rosalie felt uneasy, glancing at Juan and Debra from time to time, as if trying to spot any flaws.
*Rosalie, is there something on my face? Why do you keep looking at me?” Debra said.
“Mr. Nichols and you are quite affectionate, contrary to rumors,” Rosalie said awkwardly.
“Rumors are unreliable. How can you believe such nonsense?” Debra said, picking up a chunk of meat for
Juan.
Juan preferred bland food, but he ate the meat nevertheless. Then he placed a piece of deboned fish in Debra’s bowl.
Rosalie forced a smile. “Yeah, rumors are unreliable. Today I see how much Mr. Nichols cares for Debra.”
Ralph observed their interaction and asked, “Debra, since when do you like steamed fish?”
As if catching on to something, Rosalie looked at Debra and said, “I remember that Debra never eats steamed fish. You don’t know, Mr. Nichols?”
“You’re overthinking. Juan prefers bland food, so I’ve adapted my taste,” Debra explained.
Rosalie didn’t buy it. Just as she was about to argue, Juan suddenly said, “Sounds like you don’t want Debra and me to get along.”
“Of course not. I’m just concerned about you newlyweds. Rosalie lost her momentum, no longer daring
to ask.
Debra remained silent, eating her food.
Although this was the Frazier family’s
quet, everyone here was judging each other.
