True Love Waits novel Chapter 473

'He knew Ivan and I never slept together? Ivan must have told him everything, ' Debbie thought. Then she replied in a wronged tone, "When we were on the island, I was horny, but you wouldn't do anything. So I said that Ivan and I did it to piss you off."

Carlos stared at her intensely.

The fierce look in his eyes made her nervous. "Don't look at me like that. I thought you didn't want me anymore. I'm the one who should be mad," she added.

'How could I not want her? I was just trying not to cause problems, because she was married, ' Carlos thought.

"And why didn't you know my marriage license was fake? People are always saying you're so clever..." she continued.

Carlos didn't know how to respond to that. He had tried to lay a guilt trip on her, but she turned it around, made everything his fault. 'This woman is really savvy.'

Debbie was glad that he didn't talk back to her. "I've answered your questions. Now it's my turn."

Carlos' heart fluttered. He knew what she was going to ask. She figured it out faster than he thought, and he smiled resignedly.

"Do you have your memory back or not?" she asked, her face betraying no emotion. What he didn't know was that underneath that stony expression, her heart was pounding.

Carlos looked her in the eye and took her in his arms. "Mmhmm."

What a simple reply. But it was powerful enough to open the floodgates. Instantly, tears gushed from her eyes.

Before he could say or do anything to console her, she lifted her foot and kicked him hard in the leg.

The moment her pointed-toe stiletto hit his leg, a sharp pain seized him. He endured it silently. As the moments fled, the pain had dulled to an ache.

Damon and Kinsley had talked him into pretending he still had amnesia. Carlos decided he was going to kick those guys' asses.

During this time, Frankie sat in the car. Bored, he got out to smoke and happened to see Debbie giving Carlos a kick.

"Ha—" he burst out laughing. Since it was dangerous to laugh at Carlos, he stopped himself.

He couldn't believe his eyes. The mighty Carlos Huo—kicked by a woman! This was awesome!

And he wasn't supposed to see it. Quickly, he got back in the car. He was so afraid his desire to smoke went out the window like so much...er...smoke.

He couldn't help watching the two either. One kick wasn't enough to vent her anger. Debbie kicked Carlos again.

He didn't grimace, didn't scream, only looked at her tenderly.

But her anger didn't stop there. She gave him two more good kicks, just for good measure.

"Feel better?" Carlos asked her.

Debbie snorted and walked toward the car. He followed. But she got in and slammed the door shut. He was trapped outside the car. She locked the door quickly and opened the window a crack. "Don't follow me!" she said angrily. Then she turned to Frankie. "Please turn the car around."

Frankie looked at Carlos.

Carlos nodded to him resignedly.

After leaving the manor, Debbie asked Frankie to take her to Champs Bay Apartments. Since he had Carlos' say-so, he did as he was told.

That evening, Carlos invited Damon for a drink. Just the two of them. And it wasn't at Orchid Private Club but at a bar that catered to all kinds of people.

Carlos had booked a booth. Since nobody else was around, Damon thought Carlos had invited him there to discuss some secret plan. He was excited. "Dude, you were awesome in front of the camera. I almost cried. I bet Debbie was in tears."

"Nope," Carlos said simply.
