True Love Waits novel Chapter 401

Carlos fell in deep contemplation over his relationship problems. He came to realize that no matter how successful he was in business, when it came to love affairs, he still had a long way to go. His natural instincts about matters of the heart weren't as fine-tuned as his razor sharp analytical skills.

On the surface, everything looked like it was a good ending for everyone—he was engaged to Stephanie and Debbie was to get married to Ivan.

But for reasons unknown to him, deep in his heart, there were lingered feelings of unease. His instincts were telling him that he was on the verge of losing something very precious to him. He felt tortured by these thoughts and no matter how hard he tried to use his work to keep his mind occupied, he failed. Especially when he'd see her, the feelings would grow stronger in his heart, making him lose control over his emotions.

Just as what he was doing at the moment. Carlos knew it was wrong to have intimate thoughts about a woman who was soon to be married to another man.

However, despite his strong self-control and the special training he had received in the army, he still couldn't control his desire for Debbie. He longed to hug her, kiss her, and take her. So he decided to act on his thoughts.

While Debbie found herself lost in the depths of his eyes, even she couldn't tell what he was thinking about. After seeing the intense look in his eyes, she finally gave in.

"Okay, but this will be the last time we have sex," she whispered to him.

But Carlos stood by what he said, "Don't marry Ivan." He eagerly looked for signs of regret on her face.

"No way,"

she refused again.

This time, he didn't reply anything more and banged her a whole night.

The following day, Debbie left Y City with Piggy. Later that day, Carlos saw pictures of Debbie at the airport in the news. But Piggy wasn't in the picture with her because Ivan had arranged for someone to take care of the kid and take her through a different VIP passage.

Three days later, Carlos received his wedding invitation card from Debbie, coupled with a picture of their marriage license.

Debbie's picture of her smiling brightly on the marriage license was an indication of her happiness. Carlos felt as though the picture was fashioned into a knife solely for the purpose of stabbing him in the heart.

As if that weren't bad enough, just two days before the wedding, Carlos received a photo of Debbie dressed in a beautiful wedding gown.

But it was Xavier who had sent him the photo.

"Mr. Huo, see you in Z Country," he wrote.

Debbie was dressed in a white satin backless gown scattered with crystals and with straps covered in peach roses, and a three-meter long trail. The dress was elegant, tailored to outline her figure to perfection. Her beautiful hair was curled and done up in a reverse braided bun revealing her delicate neck.

Carlos found himself glued to the picture for a long time, stretching his mind's capacity for self-torture. He could barely keep himself together.

Wasting no more time, he pulled out his phone and called Debbie. As soon as the call went through, he said in a hoarse voice, "Come back." He was stricken with regret, pain and longing.

He couldn't sit back and watch another man possess her beauty, her loveliness, and everything about her.

"Mr. Huo? Debbie is asleep right now. If you have anything to say to her, please just tell me." Carlos recognized Ivan's voice immediately.

'Debbie is asleep?' His words carried subtle sexual overtones which made Carlos even more fidgety.

But before Carlos could say anything, he heard the soft and cute voice of a child from the other end. "Daddy, I want ice-cream."

It was Piggy's voice, and she was addressing Ivan as "Daddy" now.

The sense of loss grew stronger in his heart. It wasn't until then that he finally realized he had lost two of the most important people in his life. Agitated, he threw his phone to the wall, smashing it to pieces.

What else could he do apart from dishing out his anger and frustrations on his phone?

Ivan heard a loud bang followed by a beeping sound before the call was cut off. He shook his head helplessly.

Some people don't cherish what they have until they finally lose it.

Even an outstanding man like Carlos couldn't avoid such a common human weakness.

Soon, Debbie came out the bathroom after taking a shower. But when she saw Ivan playing with Piggy in her bedroom, she quickly retreated back to the bathroom and tidied her clothes. After making sure that she was dressed appropriately, she came out again.
