Without uttering a word in response to Carlos, Zoe grabbed a drink from the table and poured it over my head, drenching me. And in a fit of anger, she hurled the empty glass, aiming it at Carlos’ head with force.
The crowd erupted into a cacophony of commotion and uproar
Zoe’s actions were truly unexpected, catching everyone off guard. Her decisiveness and swiftness in executing her actions left a lasting shock and surprise among those witnessing the scene.
“Caleb, you are unworthy of Debra! You are nothing but a coward who doesn’t know what love is. Unlike you, I won’t give up on someone I care for just because he has a child with someone else,“ Zoe asserted, looking at me with anger and contempt.𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘥𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.𝘤𝘰𝘮

What nonsense!
I wiped the wine off my face, realizing that attempting to reason with her would be futile at this moment.
After her scathing words, Zoe paid for the drink and swiftly departed from the bar. Given her status as a police officer, everyone in the establishment was aware of her authority, and thus, no one dared to impede her exit.
As Carlos held his forehead, nursing the impact from the glass, he acknowledged the formidable nature of Zoe’s actions. “She’s quite something. She’s even fiercer than most men.”
However, a sudden realization seemed to dawn upon Carlos, causing a smile to swiftly appear at the corners of his mouth.
“But, truth be told, I find her quite intriguing. I have never encountered such a unique she-wolf before.”
I paid no attention to Carlos, firmly convinced that if he dared to make advances towards Zoe, he would undoubtedly meet a dire and regrettable fate.
I remained seated, my gaze fixed in the direction where Zoe had departed, deep in thought as her words echoed in my mind. I pondered the implications of her remarks
Was I truly a coward, afraid that the presence of Harlan’s child would prevent Debra from ending their relationship?
Or perhaps Or my real concern lay in the fact that Debra had deceived me with her lies.
The introspection left me grappling with my own emotions and the complex dynamics of the situation at hand. I had to numb my senses with the taste of wine, hoping to momentarily escape the turmoil within.
Debra’s POV:
I blocked Caleb.
Over the next three days, we didn’t exchange a single word.
I went to work on time every day and helped Riley with whatever she needed. She didn’t have any other friends, so she often talked to me openly about her feelings. Sometimes, she’d even invite me to go shopping with her. Gradually, we grew closer and closer, and it was obvious that Riley didn’t suspect me at all.
As for Adam, he seldom went home since that night he almost beat Riley, and it had been a week since then.
Riley was a little sad about this.
“It’s Like he doesn’t even want to see me anymore…”
Seeing the depressed and dejected Look on Riley’s face, I felt bad and tried to comfort her.
“Maybe he’s just busy with something important at work.”
Even I didn’t believe the words that were coming out of my mouth, though.
