With that in her mind, she stifled her Laughter and put on a sulky face before coming out of the kitchen with a glass of hot milk in her hand.
Debbie had anticipated that Carlos would be back soon, so she had come downstairs to heat up a glass of milk for him. Coincidentally, he came back just as soon as the milk was ready.

The sound of the door shutting Lightly came to her ears from the next room. She looked at the clock to check the time. It was 1 a.m.
“Does he always work so hard? What if I buy him a nice present tomorrow? Maybe he will be pleased and sign the divorce papers.*
Debbie was convinced that it was a good idea. She invited Kristina and
Kasie to shop with her the next day through WeChat and finally fell asleep.
