“Don’t worry, Caleb. You’re definitely going to be invited to the wedding,” I continued, adding fuel to the fire.
“why do you choose Harlan over me?” he suddenly asked with a grim expression.
“Because Harlan never hurt me,” I answered him flatly. “He never left my side, and I feel safe with him
Caleb lowered his head. If I wasn’t mistaken, he actually looked a little hurt.
“Have you ever thought that maybe I can be there for you, too? That I can protect you?” he asked in a low voice
“No,” I replied without missing a beat. “I don’t want to bet my Life on uncertainty.”

After that, I started the car again and drove home, refusing to talk to him.
When I got to the apartment, I saw Harlan standing at the doorway
I immediately opened the car door and wanted to check on him, but Caleb suddenly reached out and clamped his hand firmly over my eyes.
“Don’t look,” he said in a low voice.
I thought that he wanted to prank me again, so I asked crossly, “What tricks are you up to this time around?”
Before he could explain, I struggled to get rid of his grip.
As soon as I got out of the car, I saw Harlan and Zoe saying goodbye to each other in front of the apartment.
But their feet seemed to be glued to the ground. They stood there unmoving, staring into each other’s eyes affectionately. It was obvious they liked each other very much and didn’t want to part.
Debra’s POV:
“It seems that you’ve settled for the wrong person.”
Sitting in the car, Caleb mocked me.
“Debra, you just said that Harlan would never hurt you. Well, he just proved you wrong.”
However, I was too dazed to even reply to him.
The scene in front of me was a little beyond my expectation. I didn’t expect that Harlan and Zoe, who had fought each other fiercely in the beginning, would somehow fall for each other. It was really unexpected.
I didn’t move a muscle. Perhaps Caleb thought that I was heartbroken, so he changed his tune slightly.
“Well, don’t be sad. I‘1l beat Harlan up for you.”
Then he got out of the car, rolled up his sleeves, and strode towards
Harlan domineeringly.
Only then did I come to my senses.
