True Love Waits

Chapter 335 I'm Not Lonely

"No. What's up?" Ivan asked from the other end.

"Well, you have a lot of business connections. Could you help me get Carlos' phone number?" Debbie asked, embarrassed by her own request. She had asked Carlos for his number when she had met him in Y City, but he had refused to tell her.

'Unbelievable,' Ivan thought. "Are you telling me that you don't have his number?" She had moved back to Y City to reclaim her ex-husband, yet she didn't even have his contact number.

"Um... He changed his number," she said, her voice feeble. Debbie had tried to contact him through his old number, but it was answered by a worker in ZL Group.

"Okay, I'm sending you his number."

"What?! You have his number?" Debbie was shocked. She wasn't expecting that.

"Yes. Our branch company is doing a project in co-operation with ZL Group. His phone number is on the company contract," Ivan replied, hiding from her that he had met Carlos just that night. He had never met Carlos before that night. Now that his company had become bigger, he finally had the chance to meet him face-to-face.

"Thank you, Ivan!" Debbie said, excitement clear in her tone. She was truly grateful to him.

In no time, she received a WeChat message from Ivan. It was Carlos' number.

She looked at the time. It was about ten o'clock at night. 'Is Carlos holding his soon-to-be fiancee in his arms right now?' she wondered with an ache in her heart.

It pained her to imagine him being intimate with Stephanie that way. She couldn't breathe at the thought of it. On an impulse, she dialed the number which Ivan had sent her.

The call got through very soon. "Hello?"

Her heart missed a beat when she heard his husky voice.

She smiled and glanced at her daughter, who was sleeping beside her. 'Baby, I'm gonna get your daddy back,' she said in her mind. She touched her daughter's forehead gently and then walked out to the balcony. As she overlooked the night sky of Z Country, she said in a chirpy voice, "Hey, Mr. Handsome."
