Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 412

The moment the words escaped Debra's lips, she wished she could reel them back in.

She'd seen the affection in Juan's eyes, unchanged and unyielding. He'd gambled everything on her once, and she knew he'd do it again in a heartbeat.

"If you want, they're all yours," Juan said without the slightest hesitation.

"What if I'm not joking?"

"I'm not either."

"Forget it. I'm tired of this game. What's next?"

Debra marched towards the amusement park exit, leaving Juan stunned in place.

She tossed over her shoulder and said, "Don't tell me this is all you've got planned."

Juan always had a backup plan. And with a grand gesture like renting out an entire amusement park, there had to be more. After all, he had even conquered his acrophobia.

"There's more," he said, following her lead.

Whenever he tried to get closer, Debra would step forward just in time. The distance between them seemed to be as unbridgeable as that single step.

Across town at Marion's place, Randy catapulted off the couch. "You're kidding me."

Erica's voice crackled through the phone. "I'm dead serious. Juan rented out the whole amusement park. Do you think he'd do that for nothing? It's Debra's birthday."

"Got it." Erica hung up.

Juan ushered Debra into a mall. After a lunch of her favorite dishes, they descended to the lobby. What had been an empty space was now a floral fantasia. A giant screen blazed "Happy Birthday, Debra."

Balloons bobbed among the blooms, and elegantly wrapped gifts teetered in a towering pile. Juan looked a bit unsure but led Debra to the center of the lobby.

"I didn't know what you liked, so I prepared some gifts that girls usually like and had them wrapped."

Debra's eyes widened. She gestured to a sports car sporting a massive bow. "Is that part of the package?"

Juan rubbed the back of his neck, suddenly uncertain. "Maybe. Probably."
