Debbie took them from Carlos’ hand and was about to throw them in the trash. But she suddenly realized that they were still in a fight and that she hadn’t forgiven him yet. To get back at him, she took off the studs on her ears instead and said, “I’m not throwing them away. I’L put them on, and I’LL have you watch with your own eyes as I wear them.”

She put one of them on and complained, “Men are all two-timers!

Hypocrites! You were apologizing to me only a while ago, and you start arguing with me already. I shouldn’t have trusted you

Carlos couldn’t believe his ears. ‘Who is the one throwing a tantrum here?’

He grabbed her arm and demanded, “Take it off.”

“Fine! I’ll take it off!” she yelled. Instead of taking the ear stud off, she removed the watch which Carlos had put on her wrist, and gave it back to him.

Looking at the watch in disbelief, Carlos asked in a cold voice, “You prefer the studs to this watch, don’t you? Or is it because you’ll love anything as Long as it is from him? You didn’t even put on the diamond ring I gave you on such an important occasion. Why?” The very thought broke Carlos’ heart.

Debbie didn’t know how to respond. She was a bit taken aback by his question about the ring. She calmed down and lowered her voice saying,

“You’ve gotten it wrong. The ring is just too valuable for me. Give me the watch. I’ll wear it every day.” She reached out to take it back, but Carlos dodged.

He put it in his pocket and turned around to leave, without saying another word.

Debbie got flustered.

“Carlos!” she called out.

He paused for a second, but then kept walking towards the door.

Debbie caught up to Carlos and grabbed his arm.

“Give me my watch back.

I’U put it and the diamond ring on every day.”

“You don’t need to say anything more,” he said nonchalantly.

Debbie took a deep breath and said, “I’ll return the ear studs to

Hayden tomorrow. Believe me, I did turn him down. He put them in my purse without my knowledge.”

“Hayden is such a troublesome man. I swear I’m gonna beat him to a pulp, ‘ she thought.

Carlos shook her hands off and walked towards the door.

Debbie was taken aback by his indifference. In a feigned choking voice, she said, “Honey, I’m afraid of sleeping alone.”

Carlos opened the door. But before leaving, he said, “I’ll be in the study.”

Debbie heaved a sigh of relief. ‘Thank God! I thought he was leaving the manor.

But it’s almost time for bed. He must be mad, and probably doesn’t want to spend the night with me. I must do something to appease him.*
