True Love Waits novel Chapter 476

When Carlos walked into the sushi shop, he was still on the phone with Debbie. Around that time, she was nibbling at a meat floss sushi. "Why aren't you talking?" she asked, when she noticed his silence.

The man sitting opposite her choked when he saw Carlos walk in. He kicked Debbie under the table and winked at her as he gulped down his glass of water.

Debbie turned around to look directly at the man. Carlos ended the call and put his phone into his pocket. He looked at the man at the table and asked coldly, "Kinsley, what are you doing here?"

Carlos nudged Debbie, motioning her to move over.

Kinsley quickly swallowed a mouthful of fish eggs and explained, "Please don't misunderstand. I'm flying to Z Country this afternoon and will be staying there for the next three months. Me meeting Debbie here was a complete coincidence!" That was a lie. He had called Debbie to have sushi. He was curious about what was going on between Carlos and Debbie.

To his utter surprise, before he could ask her anything about their relationship, Carlos had called Debbie right at that moment.

He wondered if Carlos would believe his blatant lie. The man just glanced at him and remained silent.

Debbie was surprised that Carlos had found her so quickly. She looked at the haughty man, who was now drinking her juice, and queried, "Niles told you, didn't he?" It was the only possibility she could think of.

A waiter came along with a menu card and handed it to Carlos. He ordered a few dishes and said, "He dropped by." He didn't deny it.

"Yeah, right. What a coincidence!" Debbie observed sarcastically. Niles had seen them together earlier. When she and Kinsley had just gotten out of their cars in front of the sushi shop, Niles, who was waiting at the traffic signal at that time, happened to see them.

He waved to them and shouted, "What are you guys doing?"

Debbie had answered with a stony face, "Dating."

Shocked, Niles stepped on the gas and sped away.

Within the next ten minutes, Carlos had stepped into the sushi shop. It had to be Niles who had informed him of the meeting.

Soon after Debbie had mentioned him, Niles arrived huffing and puffing. He patted Kinsley on the shoulder. Kinsley took the hint and slid over to make room for him. Remembering that he was taller and sturdier than Niles, he switched seats with him.

And so, the two-person lunch turned into a lunch for four.

Carlos ignored the two single men completely. He kept flirting with Debbie.

He whispered something in her ear, and then kissed her lightly on her cheek. Kinsley rolled his eyes at him.

Suddenly, the sushi tasted bland to Niles. He stopped eating and started drinking some plum alcohol, continuously complaining about Carlos to Kinsley.

When they were done eating, they went their separate ways. Debbie said goodbye to Kinsley and Niles and left, ignoring Carlos.

As soon as she left, Carlos called without looking at him, "Kinsley."

Kinsley had a bad feeling. "What's up, man?" he asked with a grin.

Carlos watched Debbie leave. He gazed into the distance even after she couldn't be seen anymore. Then he said casually, "I heard that there's a woman that you hate since you were little."

The grin on Kinsley's face disappeared immediately. "Off I go. I have a flight to catch," he said hastily.

"Kinsley!" Carlos turned to look at Kinsley, who was trying to run away.
