Carlos nodded, “Yes. She’s pregnant and needs care. I sent her to the
Leonard family’s mansion in Askor Wesley’s mom is taking care of her now.”
‘What?! In Wesley’s hometown? That’s a clever idea. He will never expect that Blair is right beside his own mother, ‘ Debbie thought.
“So, did the Leonard family agree to keep it a secret from Wesley? Are they just going to sit by and watch Wesley search for Blair everywhere?”

He’ll probably drop by before he leaves, saying goodbye to his family.
After that, he won’t be back for a long time,” Carlos said. So, Blair would be safe staying with the Leonard family. Wesley wouldn’t have to know.
Debbie was speechless. ‘Poor Wesley. Good luck to you, ‘ she prayed, shaking her head.
But then, she suddenly realized something. Wesley would be taken in by the strick, something she’d done to Carlos, too.
As she was thinking, she sensed Carlos’ intent gaze. She tilted her head and met his deep eyes. Piggy slumbered in his arms.
“Why… Why are you staring at me?” Debbie uneasily touched the tip of her nose, and leaned her head against the glass window of her car door.
Carlos asked sarcastically, “The whole Leonard family is keeping a secret from Wesley. Sound familiar?”
Debbie was taken aback. Did he read her mind?
“Didn’t think I knew?” Carlos asked a bit angrily. But deep down, he felt happy to see Debbie’s frustrated face. She had been ordering him around and giving him the cold shoulder these days. Finally, he had a chance to fight back.

“What do you mean?”

Yates, Ivan and the others knew your marriage was fake. I didn’t. They kept the secret. I was the odd man out, like poor Wesley.”
Debbie felt embarrassed. Since Carlos had figured it out, it was pointless for her to hide it anymore.
“How did you know?” ‘But wait.
Everyone knew I didn’t love Ivan, and my wedding to Ivan was part of my plan to win Carlos back. But not everyone knew the licenses were fake,
* Debbie thought to herself.
“That’s not the point. The point is, you’re good, aren’t you? You had them all charmed-Xavier, Yates and even my mom. You got them to play along with you.” Thinking of this, Carlos really wanted to
punish her now, but…he didn’t dare. He kissed her forehead with force, as if he were protesting how she treated him.
Debbie chuckled.
“Hey, don’t blme. Not my idea.”
