Burning Passion: Love Never Die
Chapter 1271

Ivan closed the door and carefully locked it behind him. Since she wasn’t asleep, he turned on the lights.

“Can’t sleep? Or won’t? You don’t need to wait up for me.”

Debbie moved to the other side of the bed and pointed to another pillow and quilt.

“There’s a spot.”

“No, it’s almost dawn. I can just sleep on the couch.” Ivan had drunk a little wine and was feeling heavy and tired. He carried the quilt and pillow over to the couch.

Debbie didn’t stop him. The couch was certainly big enough for Ivan.

Comfy, to boot. Watching him disappear into the bathroom, she Lay on the bed again.

A couple of minutes later, he came out, switching off the overhead light. Then he spread the quilt as evenly as he could on the couch, fluffed the pillow, and tucked himself in.

Debbie suddenly started a conversation.

“Ivan… we…” she stuttered hesitantly.

Ivan thought she was asleep already. Surprised, he asked, “What’s up?”

In the darkness, she bit her lower lip. Gathering her resolve, she asked, “When will we… How Long are we gonna keep lying to your mom?”

Ivan understood what she was getting at. Last time, Carlos had blatantly asked her to get a divorce in front of everyone. He thought for a while and said, “Um…maybe wait a bit. Can you?” If his parents found out the marriage wasn’t real, that might come as a shock. Maybe he should try getting a real fiancee before dropping that bombshell.

“A real fiancee…’ A woman’s face popped up in his mind.

“Okay. That’s settled,” Debbie nodded understandingly.

But Ivan added, “Hey, I have a way out of this. But I need your help.”

Debbie looked at him quizzically.

“It’s about a girl,” he added.

“You talking about Kasie? So is it love?” Debbie blurted out outright.

Ivan frowned.

“Am I that obvious?”

“Well, you kissed her. How much more obvious could you be?” Debbie tittered under her breath.

“She told you?”

“Yeah she did. She cried a lot and apologized. Poor Kasie. She doesn’t know about our arrangement. How do you really feel?” Debbie wouldn’t help Ivan before she figured out everything. She wouldn’t help him if

Kasie was just a fling.
