Chapter 293
Debra’s eyes dimmed.
Randy covered his eyes, unable to bear witness to the impending drama. Erica, on the other hand, watched Debra anxiously.
Marion spotted Debra in the crowd almost instantly, but his expression remained unchanged. Cathryn, standing elegantly by his side, noticed the shift in his attention and followed his gaze, her eyes landing on Debra.
She frowned, asking, “Marion, who is she?”
Marion replied indifferently, “Someone you shouldn’t ask about.”
Marion withdrew the hand she had linked with his, leaving her staring blankly.
Marion began to walk towards Debra, but she turned away and headed in the opposite direction.
Unable to stop Debra, Erica rushed up to Marion. “What is going on between you and Cathryn? And you…”
Marion put a hand up to interrupt her, his eyes never leaving Debra’s retreating figure.
“Marion!” Erica stomped her foot in frustration.
Randy placed a gentle hand on her shoulder. “It’s their private matter. Wel shouldn’t interfere.”
Erica whirled around, her eyes flashing with protective fury. “I only like Debra. If you mess this up, I’ll knock your heads off.”
Randy wisely chose to zip his mouth.
“Debra,” Marion called out, his hand wrapping around her arm. He pulled her into a quiet corner and smiled at her. “Can I take this reaction as your jealousy?”
“Who said I’m jealous?”

“Then why are you running away?”
Debra pulled her hand from Marion’s grip, her voice steady and composed.” You’re thinking too much. I don’t care at all about your relationship with that woman. I was just curious because Randy asked Ben to hide the dinner part from me.”
“Just curious?”
“Yes.”
Debra glanced at Cathryn, who was mingling gracefully in the crowd. “Miss Bernard and you make a great pair. I wish you a lifetime of happiness.”
As she turned to leave, Marion grabbed her arm and pulled her into a deep, passionate kiss.
Debra was startled, her eyes widening in shock. She instinctively tried to push him away, but Marion’s grip was unyielding, as if he wanted to pull her into his very being.
After a long while, when Debra quieted down, Marion let her go, his voice low and husky. “Can you listen to my explanation now?”
Debra looked away, and he continued, “I have no relationship with her. I didn’t know she had come back.”
