Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 1741 - Bab 1750

"By the way, when you get home today, put on a nice dress," Jordan said as he drove. "Ditch those jeans and white shirts.""Why? Is there a party or something?""Not really." He kept his eyes on the road. "Dwayne's son is back. You know, the one you used to hide from when we were kids.""What?" Debra frowned.She had zero memory of this guy Jordan was talking about. Growing up with the Potter family, she only met Erica later on. And she met Randy once at her coming-of-age ceremony."His name is..." Jordan racked his brain.Andrew had mentioned it a bunch, but it never stuck."Marion?""Yeah, Marion."Jordan snapped his fingers, then paused."Wait, how did you know that? Did Andrew tell you?""No."Debra didn't know why the name popped into her head. It just came to her, and her mouth blurted it out before she could stop it."Then how did you figure it out?""Maybe Erica's boyfriend mentioned it at my coming-of-age party?""Did he? I don't remember that.""But didn't he

In her bedroom, a dark green dress sat in a gift box.Debra pulled it out, held it up to the mirror, and muttered, "It's just a family dinner. Why is everyone so serious?"Still, for Gael's sake, she changed into it.A bit later, she checked herself out in the mirror. Same pretty face as always.But even though it was her reflection, she felt like another version of herself was hiding inside, like it was trying to tell her she needed to figure out something.She touched the mirror and whispered, "I don't know who you are, but this is my home. My parents are here. I have people who I love and who love me. I don't like your memories. But growing up, Andrew and my parents taught me to help others. If you've got some unfinished business, I can help. Just don't hurt my family, okay?"Something was off today. She could feel another person inside her, and that person's memories had messed with her actions.Ghosts were the only explanation she could think of. She just hoped it was a kin

Itzel turned to Debra, wrapping an arm around her. "Marion just got back from abroad. He didn't mean to pick on you. I'm sorry on his behalf. Let's head in. It's too cold out here. You don't wanna get sick."Debra nodded and followed her inside.In the hall, Gael glared at Dwayne. "Did you send your son to bully my girl?""No way," Dwayne replied, raising a glass of wine with a gentlemanly smile. "I watched Debra grow up. Chill. I'll give him a talking-to later and make it up to her."Lori forced a smile.That would be a sight. Marion looked sturdy, but she wasn't sure if he could take a hit.Debra showered off. Her perfect makeup was gone, and her dress was soaked.Jordan waited outside her room. When she stepped out in a dress Itzel lent her, her nose and eyes were red from crying.She had always been treasured and had never been treated like this.Jordan sighed, "Stop crying. You look awful.""I know," Debra wailed, then sniffled. "If I hadn't gone to find you, I wouldn't

Andrew gently looked at her.Debra tilted her head. "Did I get something on my face?""Hold tight to what you love. Don't let it slip away," he said, ruffling her hair.She grabbed his hand mid-ruffle, firm and sudden. "I'm doing it right now.""Silly girl," he chuckled.He squeezed her hand back, then let go. "I meant the bracelet.""I meant you," she giggled. "Jordan said yesterday I acted like the Potter Mansion is mine even though I'm not married yet. But I grew up here. To me, this is home. Besides my parents, you're the most important person in my life. I'm keeping you close and will never let go.""You'll meet lots of people in life," he said. "Someday, someone else might matter more.""Sure, I'll meet tons of people. But there's only one you. You're the most important to me."Her eyes shone with certainty. For a split second, Andrew wavered."What do you think of Marion?" he asked, looking away."He sucks. Picked on me right off the bat. I hate him," she huffed.She

Before Debra could process it, Marion marched into the fountain. The water drenched him, clinging to his shirt and showing off every muscle."Forgive me, please," he bellowed.Debra froze, then cracked up after three seconds. Her laughter echoed through the Potter Mansion....The next morning, she barged into Andrew's study, buzzing with excitement."I thought he'd hit me, but he went into the fountain and begged for my forgiveness. You didn't see his face. It was hilarious."Andrew sat at his desk, watching her bounce around. He smiled, "Messing with Marion? You're a first in Seamar City.""All thanks to you." She flopped onto the sofa. "Too bad it's a one-time deal."Her face fell a little. Then she perked up. "You think he'll come after me later?""He won't.""You know him well?""Not really.""Then how do you know he won't? He's got that mean mug, always poker-faced. I doubt any girl would like a guy like that." She grinned at Andrew. "You, on the other hand, are alway
