A familiar voice suddenly sounded from behind. I turned around and saw Caleb walking to us with a long face.
He stood in front of me protectively and said to Harlan icily, “You’re hurting her.”
Caleb’s POV: After settling Janiya down, I rushed to the police station.
However, as soon as I stepped foot inside the station, a policewoman told me, “You’re Late. A man just took Debra away.”
“What? What did he look like?” I asked with a frown.
“He’s tall and buff. Short-tempered. His name was Harlan. He said that he was Debra’s boyfriend. They just left.”
The policewoman then told me the general make of the car they were driving.
When I got the description of the car, it suddenly occurred to me that I had seen this car on my way here just now.
I hurriedly left the station and got in my car, hoping to catch up to Harlan and Debra.
Fortunately, they weren’t driving fast. I caught up with them soon.
I followed them until they pulled to a stop in front of an apartment building. Then, Debra and Harlan got out of the car; they seemed to be in the middle of an argument.
I got out of the car. They were still quarreling, and I overheard the words, “father,” “daughter,” and “tool.” I didn’t understand what they were talking about, but when I saw that Harlan looked Like he was about to hurt Debra, I hurriedly stopped him without thinking.
“You’re hurting her. Let her go.” I eyed Harlan icily.
Harlan was stunned for a moment. Debra, on the other hand, turned as pale as a ghost when she saw me. She pushed me away and muttered, “Caleb, this is between me and Harlan. Please don’t interfere.”
Was it because Janiya had gone too far this time that Debra was afraid of me? When our eyes met, she Looked so scared.
I couldn’t help but feel guilty. Forcing a smile, I said, “Debra, can you give me ten minutes? I just want to talk. I promise that Janiya won’t make more trouble for you.”
Debra and Harlan exchanged glances and seemed to reach a silent agreement. In the end, Harlan said nothing and walked straight into the apartment.
This just confirmed to me that Harlan definitely wasn’t Debra’s mate. Because no man would be able to tolerate his mate alone with another man, Let alone the man who had been flirting with her over the past few days.
When Harlan was out of earshot, Debra sneered and asked bitterly, “Are you here to take me back to the police station to avenge Janiya? Or do you want me to pay for the damages at the bridal shop?” 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮
She looked at me angrily, as though she was accusing me of not believing her earlier.
But she had every right to be angry at me. After all, I had taken Janiya’s side earlier. Although I believed Debra, I had no choice but to take Janiya to the hospital. I still needed the help of her family after all.
“Debra, I’m not here because of that.” “Then what are you doing here? Did you want to see how embarrassed and ashamed I am?” Debra continued to sneer at me, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
