Chapter 523
By the time Debra arrived at the Nichols family’s residence, It was already afternoon.
She took out her keys, but just as she was about to open the door, she remembered that the locks had been changed long ago.
Right then, Sophie opened the door. When she saw Debra, her face lit up with uncontrollable joy.
“Madam, you’re back. Come on in.” Sophie ushered Debra inside, beaming as she spoke. “I heard you were coming back today, so I made a table full of dishes. Mr. Nichols said you would be staying. Is it true?
Debra shook her head lightly. “Not quite. I still have to leave for work.”
Sophie nodded understandingly. “That makes sense. Work matters.”
Juan descended from the second floor. His expression, usually cold and distant, finally softened a bit when he saw Debra.
Melody emerged from her room and cast a glance at Juan, clearly displeased, but she eventually reined in her temper and said, “Sophie, you really don’t know how to follow proper etiquette. How could you not inform me when we have a guest?”
Sophie hurriedly explained, “Mrs. Nichols Sr., I just happened to bump into Mrs. Nichols at the door. It wasn’t intentional.”
Lately, Melody’s moods had been erratic, swinging unpredictably from one moment to the next.
Debra turned toward Melody, smiling politely. “I’m still part of the family. How can you call me a guest?”
She moved closer to Juan, looping her arm through his “Besides, this is my and Juan’s home. Mrs. Nichols Sr., you’ve been staying here for quite a while now. Don’t you think it’s about time you visited your own place?”
Her words were like a slap, leaving Melody momentarily speechless,
Juan glanced at Debra’s hand resting on his arm, and then, as if it were the most natural thing in the world, he walked with her toward the dining table.
Looking at Melody, he said calmly, “Debra is right, Grandma. You should consider returning to your own home. This place is a bit small. When Debra moves back in, it might get inconvenient for
you.
Melody’s face grew darker as she saw Juan siding with Debra, but she didn’t say anything further because Juan had made it very clear to her yesterday what was at stake with his marriage.
Rather than having him marry Shelia, who killed her own child, it was better to see him reconcile with Debra.
Besides, with the Frazier family’s bankruptcy, Debra had no power, no influence, and no standing. That made it easier for Melody to manipulate Debra.
I won’t lie, I wasn’t exactly thrilled when you decided to come back,” Melody said. “But since Juan wants to remarry you, I respect it. I just hope you two can live peacefully from now on and not cause any more scandals that would disgrace our family.”
