CHAPTER 92
Debra said, “You did pick some great fruit. You’ve done a better job than my housekeeper.”
Marion smiled. He wouldn’t reveal that he had taste–tested each fruit, which was why it took him so long.
A faint buzzing sound could be heard coming from the bedroom.
Erica said, “Someone’s phone is vibrating.”
Everyone exchanged glances, and Randy said, “I never keep my phone on vibrate.”
Marion stayed silent, and Erica pulled out her phone. “Mine’s here.”
Debra suddenly remembered that she had set her phone to vibrate after hanging up on Joe yesterday.

e quickly pushed back her chair and ran to the bedroom.
There, her phone was vibrating on the bedside table. It was Joe calling.
Debra answered, “Hello?”
Relieved, Joe said, “Madam, you’ve finally answered.
“What’s up?”
“Mr. Nichols was looking for you all night. He found out you left with Marion and got so mad that he hung up on me. He didn’t go to the office today. Could you please call him and tell him about it? There are Important decisions for him to make.”
“He was looking for me all night?” Debra was puzzled.
Juan never seemed to care about her well–being.
Debra checked her phone and saw numerous missed calls from last night, but Juan had stopped calling around three in the morning.
“Madam, I think Mr. Nichols cares about you. Please call him back. Maybe…”
“I see. Thanks, Joe.”
Debra hung up and decided to call Juan. It rang once before a mechanical voice sounded. “Sorry, the subscriber you have called is currently busy.”
She then sent him a message. [Drank too much last night. What’s the deal?]
Immediately, a notification popped up showing she had been blocked.
Debra felt helpless, wondering what Juan was up to.
Curious about Debra’s prolonged stay in the bedroom, Erica came over and asked, “Is everything okay?”
“Juan called me all night, and now he’s blocked me.”
“What? That’s crazy
Erica got irritated, remembering how Juan had scolded her for Shelia’s sake. “How did you convince yourself to marry a guy like that?”
Debra replied, “You
won’t believe it, but I pursued him.”

Erica was stunned, looking at her in a way as if doubting her taste.
Snapping out of it, she added, “Well, I guess you couldn’t have known what he was like before you got married. To be fair, he is good–looking. It’s reasonable for a girl to get a little obsessed.”
Debra smiled wryly.
At noon, she decided to go back to the Nichols family’s house.
She didn’t want to make things too tense with Juan, and since Joe had asked for her help, she felt obliged.
She went back in a taxi and saw Sophie sweeping the yard when she arrived.
Overjoyed, Sophie quickly rushed to open the door for her.
