Lost in deep thought for a moment, she finally came back to her senses realizing
that the call was still connected.
“Tomboy, hear me?”
“Yeah. I heard everything. Look, Emmett's a nice guy. Think about it okay?”
Debbie persuaded
Kasie paused. After a while, she said, “I... Let me think about it.”
As Debbie was chatting fervently with Kasie over the phone, a knock at the door
interrupted her. It was a housemaid, informing her that
Carlos’ grandmother wanted to see her. The old lady was waiting for her
downstairs. It seemed that Debbie had been too naive. She thought that as long
as she stayed in her room, nobody would mess with her.
“What does she want?’ she thought. Ending the call quickly, she asked the

Debbie nodded and comforted Valerie, “Grandma, please take it easy. In my
experience, the more you try to look for something, the less likely it is you'll find
it. But if you stop worrying about it, it will show up one day, out of the blue!”
Valerie sneered and gave her a cold glance.
“Did you mean to say I shouldn't look for it?"
Under Valerie's cold glare, Debbie felt utterly speechless. “Fine!
