True Love Waits novel Chapter 527

The truth was that Debbie had planned everything well in advance. The first step of her plan was to consolidate her position as Carlos' legal wife. That was why she had co-operated with him to register their marriage and had deliberately showed their marriage licenses to the reporters. Then, they held their grand wedding ceremony in a high-profile manner, and she showed off their love in public and online sites every now and then. Because of this, everyone knew that Carlos was deeply in love with his wife. Thus, even after Debbie went missing from the scene, no women dared to take advantage of her absence to try and hit on Carlos.

One month passed, then two...

As time slowly went by, the situation began to change. Three months later, word began to spread that Carlos was seen with another woman.

After that one rumor, more sprung up and spread quickly. Some people even assumed that Carlos and Debbie were already divorced, but were keeping it a secret for the sake of their children.

Debbie had heard from Dixon that Miranda had personally dealt with a woman who had dared to get into Carlos' car.

This was the story. One day, Miranda happened to notice a pair of high heels in Carlos' car—the one he always drove to work. But the heels were neither her size, nor Debbie's.

Miranda remained silent and didn't ask Carlos anything about it.

The next day, she stalked him and saw a woman take those heels from his car.

After the woman had left, Miranda angrily got out of her car and went to confront her son. When Carlos saw her approaching, he asked in a calm tone, "Mom, why are you here?"

Looking at the woman's receding figure, Miranda interrogated, "Did you give those heels as a gift to that woman?"

Carlos shook his head. "No. The night before, we had a business dinner. She had temporarily changed into another pair of shoes and had left those in my car."

"Oh…Is that so?" she said in a drawl, sounding sarcastic. Confused, Carlos looked at her and asked, "What's the problem?"

She smirked. "Nothing. I just wanted to remind you that you're a married man. Please keep your boundaries with other women."

Carlos was left speechless.

What a good mother-in-law she was to Debbie! Debbie was not around, so Miranda was keeping a close eye on him for her. Sighing, he reassured her, "Mom, please rest assured, and assure Debbie as well. I have no interest in any other woman. I only want my beloved wife."

Miranda nodded satisfactorily. "Okay. You go ahead with your work. I should get going now."

"Okay, bye."

Despite Carlos' assurance, Miranda wasn't going to let that woman go. She easily got that woman's information. That afternoon, they sat face-to-face at a cafe.

The woman was quite pretty. Miranda ordered a glass of sparkling water, while the nervous woman randomly pointed to an item on the drink list and said to the waiter, "This one, please."

Miranda took a look at the item she had ordered. It was cappuccino—Debbie's favorite.

Their orders were served very soon. The woman held her coffee cup in her trembling hands and took a sip. She was frightened by the strong aura emanating from Miranda. Just like Carlos, Miranda could easily scare people, even without saying anything. "Hi, Aunt." The woman finally broke the silence and greeted her.

Miranda snorted, "Aunt? Am I that close to you?"

The woman bowed down her head in embarrassment.

Miranda cut to the chase. "I didn't need to handle a commoner like you in person, but there are quite a few women trying to hit on my son. So, I need to personally deal with you, as a warning to the rest."

"No... Mrs. Miranda Huo... It's not what you think. Mr. Huo and I are just friends..."

"Why did you leave your shoes in Carlos' car?" Miranda asked sharply.

The woman was dumbfounded.

"You should know who my daughter-in-law is, right?" Miranda had sent Debbie away that day and it had been a part of her escape plan. So, she had to make sure that their marriage remained intact. No one was allowed to sabotage their relationship.
