True Love Waits novel Chapter 15

Seeing that the girl before him was now a changed woman, Jared took out his phone and photographed the rare beauty that was in front of him. He flashed a cunning smile as he was planning to post her photos in his WeChat moments. After all, his best friend only looked this decent once in a blue moon, so he felt the need to document this moment.

"You look stunning! Tomboy, if I didn't know who you truly are, I would court you and ask you to be my girlfriend. The only thing is… you need to wear a thicker bra. Add some padding, maybe. Your chest is so obviously flat." After teasing Debbie, Jared chuckled.

Upon hearing his insult, Debbie fumed. She raised her leg in another attempt to kick her annoying friend, but a cold voice stopped her. "Since when is everyone allowed to enter the Spirit?"

The manager and the salesladies walked towards Carlos to greet him. They were all dumbfounded by his words. 'What could Mr. Huo be talking about? Who is he referring to?' they thought to themselves.

Debbie knew that voice and did not have to turn around to confirm who it was; it was her husband, Carlos.

She took a few deep breaths to calm herself down and prep herself. 'He's trying to provoke you on purpose, Debbie. Just ignore him, ' she told herself in her mind.

She withdrew her leg and told Jared, "I want to change into another dress. This one is way too revealing for me." Indeed, the dress was revealing for a person like her. It was a backless dress that was only hanging on her shoulders with two bow knots.

Before Jared was able to say something, Carlos' sarcastic voice made its way again. "Really? You call this dress too revealing? Are you from ancient China? Stop pretending to be so conservative and pure!"

Little did Carlos know that his words would give himself a slap in the face some day.

After saying that, he let go of Olga, signaled her to select a dress and sat on the couch.

Olga glanced at Debbie contemptuously and then proceeded to the VIP clothing area with a saleslady, marching as proud as a peacock.

Holding the hemlines of her dress in her grips, Debbie walked up to Carlos with a burning look and said, "Are you out of your mind? Why are you coming after me like a mad dog? I was framed to make the love confession. I didn't mean it at all. If you think I'm in love with you, then it's time to stop dreaming! I would never fall in love with a mean person like you!"

She went over the confession this time as she needed to make it clear that she didn't love him. Otherwise, it would be difficult for her to negotiate the divorce later.

Carlos' face soured at her words. The manager wondered if it was right for her to drag the young girl out of the store for Carlos' sake, but before she could decide on that, Jared grabbed Debbie's arm and dragged her out off the premises of trouble.

He did not dare to offend Carlos again.

"From now on, this girl is banned from this shop!" Carlos exclaimed, the echoes of his voice following Debbie.

This made Debbie more furious than ever. She could not bear to have her name on the same marriage certificate as this man anymore. She freed her arm from Jared's grip and turned around to challenge Carlos.

"Carlos Huo, I'm telling you..." Before the feisty girl could finish her sentence, her mouth was covered by Jared's big palm. Dragging her over to the counter, Jared chucked a bank card over the top. "We'll have this dress," he told the cashier.

"Miss, aren't you going to have your make up done here?" the cashier asked. The luxurious shop also provided services on top of their products. After all, this was how rich people lived.

Jared once again grabbed Debbie's arm tightly whilst shaking his head and saying, "No, thanks. Please, be quick. We're in a hurry."

The boy was determined to get his best friend out of the store because he knew that she would definitely start a fight with Carlos.

He could not allow his beloved friend to offend such a powerful man; she would pay for it forever.

When they got all they paid for, Jared led Debbie into his Mercedes-Benz.

He let go of her hand, locked the door, and gasped for air. "Open the door! I'm telling you, I am going to divorce that bastard now! Why am I so unfortunate to have to be married to Carlos Huo! Help me, God!"

Realizing what she had just thought out loud, Debbie stopped her tantrum. Silence filled the car; it was so quiet that if a needle were to be dropped, they would hear it. Jared stared blankly at her in shock of what he just heard.
