Chapter: 121

Caleb didn’t seem to Like my reaction. He frowned tightly and muttered, “You’re welcome.”

In an effort to break the tension, I quickly changed the topic. “Caleb, what deal did you make with Harlan just now?”

“I wanted him to admit that you two are a fake couple.”

“what?” I gasped in shock

But my shock quickly turned into anger. “You were willing to risk hurting others for this?”

Caleb approached me and looked at me with affection. “I‘m sorry. I know it wasn’t right, but it’s important to me. I have to know the truth, Debra

As he spoke, he got closer and closer, the affection in his eyes becoming more and more evident.

Caleb’s scent fascinated me. It was like a drug that I couldn’t get enough of, causing me to palpitate whenever he came near. The mate bond made me eager to touch him.

“Honey, why don’t you just do it? He obviously cares about you!” Ivy barked excitedly.

“Get a grip, will you? He’s obviously Lyin

Even though my instincts were practically begging me to get closer to Caleb, my last ounce of sanity told me not to be deceived by his deceitful appearance again

“You’re drunk, Caleb.” I pushed him away.

But Caleb wasn’t about to give up. He leaned close and whispered in my ear, “You’re right. I am drunk. And I can’t go home alone. Carlos is too busy picking up girls. So Debra, can you take me home?”

When I was about to reject him, he continued, “If you refuse, I’ll drive home at full speed.” Caleb was notorious for speeding, so I knew that he wasn’t lying.

“Fine, I’ll drive you home.” Worried that Caleb would get into an accident from driving under the influence, I ended up choosing to compromise.

I darted to the car, hoping to get this over with as quickly as possible. But Caleb took his sweet time.

As soon as he opened the door and sat down, he held up a photo in his hand and asked, “Debra, why’d you steal this from me?”

Debra’s POV:

My heart leaped to my throat. I quickly patted my pockets.

Oh, crap! The photo Elena had picked up in the kindergarten wasn’t there!

After putting Elena to sleep just now, I slipped the photo into my pocket. I didn’t expect I’d lose it. Worse, Caleb found it.

God! Why was I so unlucky? Staring at the photo in Caleb’s hand, I racked my brains for a good excuse.
