but she sensed
In the darkness, she couldn’t make out his express bitterness in his tone. She quickly switched on the light, causing Juan to squint against the sudden brightness. She stepped back, maintaining a safe distance between them.
“You called me back, so what’s the deal?”
Juan had Joe summon her back every other day, something he’d never done before.
“Have you been staying at the Potter’s the past few days?” Juan asked.
Debra nodded, her expression unyielding. “Yes, I have. What about it? Didn’t your people tell you?”
Juan hesitated, realizing he couldn’t argue against what she said.
“I don’t like being watched. You have no right to watch me. Our marriage was purely a business alliance, with no feelings involved,” she added.
Juan’s anger surfaced, his voice rising. “No feelings? Didn’t you like me back then, insisting on marrying me with your family’s chips?”
Debra felt a pang of irritation. “As you said, it was before. I don’t like you anymore.”
Juan took one step forward. “You think you can like or dislike me as you please? What do you take me for?”
Debra’s patience wore thin. “Enough! Arguing with me like this isn’t like you at all. What do you want by calling me back? Don’t tell me it’s because you’re jealous that I celebrated Jordan’s birthday. I won’t believe such a ridiculous thing coming from your mouth.”
Juan opened his mouth to speak but found himself at a loss for words.
That was exactly what he had been thinking, but seeing Debra’s indifferent expression, he felt a growing bitterness within him.
“I wronged you because of Shelia,” he managed.
Debra thought her ears must be playing tricks on her. “Are you apologizing to me?”
Juan’s expression froze on his face. She continued, “Did you call me back to apologize?”
