Semua Bab Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right: Bab 1751 - Bab 1760

Andrew looked up after Barton walked out.By afternoon, Debra stood in front of her mirror, twirling in a dress Andrew had given her a few days ago.He'd picked out her clothes since she was little. He always knew what she liked and always spoiled her.She grinned, then sighed. He hadn't taken her out much since they grew up."Miss, someone's here for you.""Got it."She fixed her hair and bolted downstairs. But it wasn't Andrew's car at the gate. It was Marion's.He leaned against it, waiting."What're you doing here? Where's Andrew?" she asked, frowning."He got tied up. Can't make it," Marion replied, opening the door. "He told me to take you to the amusement park and stay till it closes.""No way. I'm not going with you." She spun to leave, but Marion grabbed her arm and pulled her back.She yelped, and the next thing she knew, she was in the car. The seatbelt then clicked on.Her face darkened. "I'm not riding with you.""Look, I'm the one suffering here. I carved out

Marion held out a hand. "Care to show me around?"Debra stared at him. That weird feeling hit her again. Before she knew it, her hand was in his.Snapping out of it, she shrugged. "Fine, whatever. Consider today as your lucky day."As soon as they showed up in the park, their appearances immediately grabbed attention.From four in the afternoon, they hit rides hard for four hours. By eight, the lights dimmed.Debra stumbled off the coaster, dizzy, and plopped onto a bench.The park glowed like a fairy tale.Marion took a call and vanished. People trickled out.She sat by the carousel, watching the lights flicker off one by one.Andrew still hadn't shown. She couldn't hide her frustration.She'd had fun with Marion and had tried not to dwell on Andrew bailing. But when she was all alone, the sadness crept in.By the time the fireworks were over, they had only hit half the rides.The wind picked up. It was a bit chilly.The carousel went dark, and the park emptied.She got

Debra clutched her head. It was throbbing.Different from the last time, she felt terrible and puked."How long was I out?""Three hours.""Only three?""Your face looked pale, so I woke you up.""Good thing you did."If that dream kept going, she would have been lost in it."So, what did you see?" Chace asked.She gave a bitter smile. "A lot, but just scraps. I went back to school and saw Marion, but I hated his guts. The rest is gone."Unlike last time, the dream slipped away fast.She pressed her chest. "I forgot something big and someone important to me. It's like two souls were in me. At first, I was me. Then she took over, running my body. You get that?"Chace rubbed his chin, not quite understanding."What about the answers you wanted?""I thought the dream would show me my past and my heart, but there was none. Am I too hung up on the past? Maybe my heart doesn't want me to remember.""Our souls have defenses. Painful stuff gets locked away if it's too much. If y

Sunlight stung. Marion sat by her, sleepless."Where is Andrew?" she croaked.Silence answered.Drake, Erica, and Randy were also there, but no one spoke."Marion?" she insisted, her voice shaky.He couldn't meet her eyes. She turned to Erica, who looked crushed despite her front."Erica?""I..."Randy stammered, "Why don't you get more rest first?""He's in the morgue," Drake cut in. "Wanna go and see him?"The air froze.The rims of her eyes reddened. She turned away, choking down her tears. "No.""He passed last night," Drake said. "One hour till they cremate him. Last chance.""I said no." She'd never lost it like this.She pounded the bed, venting raw grief. Marion wanted to hold her and comfort her, but he knew she needed space."Let's go," he said, standing up.Erica hesitated before leaving with Randy's help. Drake glanced back and walked out as well.Once alone, Debra's tears broke free. She screamed, wailed, and trashed the room.When Jordan came in, it was

Marion explained, "He just didn't want you dragged into it. He didn't want you to get hurt."The Illuminati was too powerful. Andrew couldn't fully shield her during that disaster aimed at the Potter family. The only option was to leave her and cut all ties.Too many things had happened. He realized he could never be the ideal partner for her.It wasn't just life and death separating them. He couldn't give her a stable life or afford to expose his weak spot to the Illuminati."He didn't even ask if I wanted it," Debra said, her voice breaking. "He didn't ask if I'd face the danger with him. He was the only family I had left in this world."After her parents died, she thought she had lost all her loved ones. If he had stepped up and told her the truth, things might have turned out differently.Marion bent down slowly and pulled her into a hug. "Maybe to him, this was the best life he could give you."He knew Andrew didn't want to just be her family. If they couldn't be together,
