Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Carlos.

The last message she had read from Hayden said, “I'll be in Alorith at

3 p.m. I can help you make up for the missed Lessons. You still haven't forgotten
about me, right?” Unfortunately, Carlos had taken her phone away before she
could send a reply. However, now she was Looking at a reply on her phone
screen that said- “My husband can help me make up for missed lessons.”

To which Hayden had replied, “Deb, you must be kidding me, right? Are you still
mad at me? To be honest, no ordinary man would have the audacity to date a girl
like you.“ Debbie was spitting fire when she saw this. She took a deep breath and
continued reading.

The last message sent from her phone was, “My husband is not an ordinary
man.”

Hayden hadn't replied to that message. Perhaps he believed that she had
married some other man.

“Carlos wrote these messages himself? When did he do it? How did I not see
him?”

When she looked at the time logs of the messages, Debbie was surprised to find
that Carlos had sent the messages while he was still lecturing to them in class.
Debbie remained calm. In fact, she was surprised by her own ability to stay calm
in such a moment. If it were in the past, she would have already broken his
bones. But the truth was, she was no match for him in martial arts.

After she read the messages, she didn’t turn around to face him. Carlos lit up a
cigarette, took a moderately big drag and exhaled.

“Your lover?” Carlos sneered.

“My lover? What the fuck?” However, Debbie decided it would be best to spare
him the details. She turned around and looked at her husband.

“Yes, he is. So, will you divorce me now?”

Leaning his back against the seat and resuming his usual cold expression,
Carlos remained silent for a long while before he asked,

“Do you Love him that much?”

Debbie had once told him about a boy she had feelings for not too long ago. Her
words came back to him and he believed that boy to be the one who had sent
her the messages.

Debbie shook her head unconsciously, but then she thought of an opportunity
and nodded.

“Yes, I love him very much.” However, she wasn't telling the truth. The truth was
that she had Loved the boy very much, but that was a very long time ago. After
falling out with his family members, she no longer wanted to ingratiate herself
with them.

Now all that remained between the two of them was a fleeting memory of their
brief encounter.

The reason why she lied to Carlos was that she hoped it would convince him to
divorce her.

However, Carlos’ reply was something she could not have anticipated in a million
years.

“Good. You know, I like challenges.” He curled his lips and continued,

“I'm sure to drive him out of your heart.”

Words had left Debbie as she stared into Carlos’ eyes in utter disbelief.

Having run out of patience to argue, she turned around and walked out of the
office. When she shut the door behind her, Tristan walked over to her with an
unnervingly wide grin on his face.
