Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 592

Debra watched as Juan took over, opening the packages and boiling water.

It was obvious he wasn't used to doing this. As the water started to boil over, Juan stood frozen, unsure of how to react.

Debra calmly stepped in and turned off the stove. "Why don't you go wait outside?"

Seeing that she wasn't making a suggestion but more of a command, Juan nodded and left the kitchen.

Five minutes later, Debra walked into the living room with two plates of pasta. They sat down together, eating in silence. The tension between them hadn't eased; in fact, it had thickened.

"I..."

Juan tried to speak, but Debra cut him off.

"Don't talk while you're eating."

Juan swallowed his words, focusing on his food. Debra, on the other hand, finished her pasta quickly, stood up, and headed to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Andrew had sent her to the show, but he hadn't required her to cooperate.

In the control room, the director rubbed his temples in frustration. "Why is there zero interaction between them?"

"This way, we're barely going to have enough content for even a month," one of the crew members muttered.

The director sighed. "Hardly. I think we need to call in a favor."

Debra's phone buzzed. It was a message from Andrew.

Andrew: [Heard you're not cooperating with the filming.]

Debra was speechless.

Andrew: [Just a heads up. If they don't get enough footage, you'll be stuck on that island even longer. Your call.]

Debra swiftly began cutting the meat, while Juan stood awkwardly nearby, unsure of what to do with his hands.

"Move aside a bit," Debra instructed.

Juan obediently stepped back.

"Don't block the way. Go out a little," she added.

Juan dutifully moved further away.

Watching Debra bustle around the kitchen, he summoned his courage and asked, "Is there anything I can do to help?"

"Just don't talk," Debra replied, setting her highest expectation for Juan.

Juan fell silent. Debra made sure to position herself in front of the camera but realized that if she and Juan had zero interaction, the episode would be dull.
