True Love Waits

Chapter 323 He Lives With His Girlfriend

Three years ago, when Debbie left Y City, she sent Jared a text message, saying that she was going to start a new life, telling him not to go looking for her. Jared rushed to the airport after he got the message. He thought maybe he could catch up to her, at the very least say a proper goodbye, but she was already gone.

Kasie, on the other hand, had almost moved on from the miserable pain of losing Emmett. She was way more conciliatory, and she knew what kind of dark pain a loss could cause, the desire for isolation. She held Debbie's hands and said, "I'm sorry, Deb. You were pregnant back then, and you suffered a lot. I wasn't there for you..."

Debbie shook her head and said in a choked voice, "It's me who should be apologizing. I'd been gone for three years, incommunicado..." She regretted having left her best friends behind. Even though she had to leave Y City, she shouldn't have given up on those who loved her most.

The three of them held each other and cried for a long time. Sebastian finally separated them, and offered, "Time to eat. Your aunt Lucinda slaved all day over the stove."

It turned out that Sasha had plans to move back to Y City after graduation and find a job.

Jared was now working in his family business-the Han Group. His father, Jasper, made him director of the company administration department, overseeing employees and implementing company directives laid out by the president. He also was involved in the hiring and firing process. All in all, he did well.

Kasie was a purchasing agent for Johnston.

According to the others, Dixon was still studying in America, going for his PhD. He had only come back to Y City twice in the past three years, and he was able to talk to them on WeChat.

Speaking of Carlos, Sebastian told Debbie, "James lied to you. Carlos is still alive."

While Carlos was still in a coma, James took over ZL Group and usurped his place in the company and in Y City.

Jared nodded and echoed, "I haven't talked to Damon once in the past three years. You know what? He grabbed Megan and brought her back from A Country."

Since news of Debbie's scandals reached his ears, Damon swore he'd kill Debbie for Carlos' sake. Jared stopped him and they'd actually come to blows over the incident. This time, the two hadn't made nice with each other. Damon and his wife moved out of the Han family's house. He and Jared were now more like strangers than brothers.

"Do you know where Carlos lives?" Debbie asked with a hopeful expression.

Kasie shook her head. She hadn't seen Carlos in three years.
