Love me or leave me (Rebecca and Theodore) novel Chapter 233

Stacey was still a bit perplexed after leaving the guest room, but she couldn't help feeling delightful. With a cheerful expression, she went downstairs. Debra inquired with a smile, "Are they resting in their room?"

Stacey nodded. "Yes."

Debra noticed her cheerful expression and knew Stacey was fond of Hayden. She pondered, 'At this rate, Becky and Hay should be able to get together.' Debra smiled and felt that she and Patrick shouldn't stay at home as third wheels. She thought, 'We should give them some space and let the two spend time alone together, especially since Hay has deliberately put down time to come here and be with Becky.'

Debra's thoughts drifted to the situation with Adrian. Feeling somewhat restless, she considered temporarily relocating to the house Adrian had bought rather than staying here as a third wheel. Although pretending to be an ordinary person might be a bit challenging, Debra would have the opportunity to see Isabella and Damian more frequently and help care for Damian. With this plan in mind, Debra immediately pulled out her phone and messaged Adrian.

Adrian was in the market with Damian, following behind Isabella. He was caught off guard by her text, replying worriedly: [Are you sure you guys won't get exposed?] Adrian wasn't overly concerned about Patrick. His main focus was Debra. Luckily, he had previously depicted her as a pampered and indulged woman spoiled by Patrick, so it wasn't too strange if she occasionally behaved in a delicate or unusual manner.

Debra, seeing his response, quickly responded: [Of course not! How could we possibly get exposed? Adrian, since your father and I have already met Isabella and her child, we should make an effort to visit them more often. Otherwise, it might appear unwelcoming. You can consider this. If the future in-laws and grandparents of the child show no concern after learning their son has a child, wouldn't that be concerning? They might question our character for not caring about the child, don't you think?]

Adrian was somewhat speechless. He texted: [Are you certain you won't get exposed?]

Debra assured him: [I won't ruin things for you. I promise I'll be very careful.]

Adrian replied: [I don't really believe it.]

Debra texted: [You troublesome child. Do you really have such little trust in me?]

Adrian replied: [I trust you with other things. But pretending to be an ordinary person? My trust level is at negative 100.]

Stacey had just poured herself a glass of water and was about to take a sip when she saw Debra typing on her phone. As Debra continued to text, her expression suddenly grew quite fierce. Stacey was left puzzled, wondering, 'Why does Mom look so intense? Who is she texting?'

Debra looked up in exasperation. She complained, saying, "Becky, can you believe Adrian? Isn't it just pretending to be an ordinary person? It's a bit challenging for me, but I'll be careful. Everything will be fine. Why doesn't he trust me at all? It's so frustrating!"

Stacey was stunned, and she quickly came to her senses. "Were you texting Adrian just now?"

Debra nodded angrily. "Yes! Look at the messages Adrian sent me. He's trying to drive me crazy." Stacey glanced at the chat log and found Adrian's concerns quite reasonable. "Becky?" Debra's voice jolted her back to reality.
