True Love Waits novel Chapter 462

Ivan took a look at the woman under him and said over the phone, "You sure you want me to go back home now? Come on, Mom. You want a grandchild, right— Ouch!" A pinch from Kasie made him end his sentence prematurely. He started massaging the area she cruelly manhandled.

Blushing a shade of bright red, she shot him an angry glare and then buried her face in the pillow, embarrassed.

"What? A grandchild? With whom?" Elsie softened her voice.

To save him from more drama, Ivan patiently explained, "Mom, the marriage was a sham. Debbie and I aren't married. Sorry for lying to you. And I don't love men. I love Debbie's best friend, and I wanna marry her. We're getting married here, so you and Dad will need to get tickets."

"W-what...is that so?" The sudden change of the story put Elsie in a daze. She needed time to process everything.

"That's it, Mom. I just married Debbie to get you and Dad off my back. But this is real. If you don't believe me, you can fly here and watch us get the marriage licenses with your own eyes."

Ivan wanted to hang up but Elsie quickly stopped. "Hold on. No wonder Debbie didn't want me to visit her uncle and aunt, and didn't want any gifts. Now I get it. So which family is that girl from?" 'Debbie's best friend...' Elsie tried to remember who that was, but came up short. She hadn't really gotten to know the girl.

She saw her once at Ivan's wedding, but she was too excited to notice anything.

"She's the daughter of the Zheng family here. Her father is Mason Zheng. I think Dad knows him." At this point, Ivan began to lose his patience.

If Elsie didn't end the call, the sun would be up soon. He wouldn't have enough time to enjoy his special moment with Kasie.

Elsie nudged her husband, who was lying next to her. "Do you know Mason Zheng? Ivan says you know him."

Without hesitation, Logan nodded, "Yeah. I knew him from university."

Elsie asked further with the line still on, "I never heard you mention him. You close to him?" She heard a beep, and the line went silent. "Hey, Ivan... I'm not done."

As Elsie tried to call again, Logan stopped her and said, "Look. He's with his girlfriend. Don't ruin the moment."

Elsie's hands froze. She carefully thought about his words again and took in his meaning. Realizing what her son was doing now, she blushed and scolded, "That brat! Why didn't he tell me? Honey, I roared at our son just now. Do you think she heard me?"

Instead of answering her question, Logan pulled a long face and criticized, "Ivan is already thirty. He's a mature man, and the CEO of the company. But he can't take marriage seriously!"

Elsie patted his shoulder. "Don't get mad. I'll give him an earful when I get the chance. And maybe I was a little pushy about grandkids, but still...What a brat!" she said in increasing anger.

"Humph! Even if we did drive him to it, why Carlos' woman? Is he an idiot or something? I'm pretty sure Evelyn is Carlos' kid," Logan said.

"Oh, really? No wonder she's so clever."

Logan let out a heavy sigh.

At last, the old couple decided that they would teach Ivan a lesson.

In the East District Manor

When Debbie emerged from the bathroom, she didn't see Carlos in the bedroom. Too sleepy to go find him, she climbed onto bed straight away.

In her sleepy and hazy state, she felt a familiar man hugging her close.

It felt wonderful. Without thinking, she turned over and wrapped her arms around the man's waist, nestling comfortably in his arms.

But then she felt his hand exploring her body, accompanied by a seductive voice, "Honey..."

Debbie thought she was dreaming, so she didn't open her eyes.

And that was when she felt something heavy on top of her. Her eyes whipped open. In the dark, Carlos was staring at her, eyes thick with lust.

He was really going to do it. Shocked, Debbie tried to steady her breathing and asked between moans, "Not before... before...I divorce Ivan, right?"
