True Love Waits

Chapter 404 Congratulations

Niles sat in his car and watched as Carlos went inside Building 2 of the Champs Bay Apartments. He was dumbfounded. 'He said he wasn't going home when Stephanie came to pick him up. Why is he going back home now?'

After Carlos entered the elevator, Niles called his brother. "Wesley, I really don't understand Carlos," he complained.

"What happened?"

"When we met Stephanie, Carlos told her that he was going to stay overnight at my place. But after we drove away from her, he asked me to drop him at his apartment. I really don't understand what's going on in that head of his," Niles explained quickly.

After a short pause, Wesley told his silly brother, "That's because Debbie lives in Building 2 as well. She's on the seventh floor."

It took Niles a few seconds to grasp what he had said. "What? Debbie lives right above Carlos and Stephanie's floor?" he yelled into the phone.

"Mmm hmm."

'Nice job, Debbie!' Niles praised her in his mind with a grin.

There was only one apartment on each floor of the building. If there were two, Debbie would have taken the other apartment on the same floor as Carlos.

'It looks like she will stop at nothing to get him back. Now, I really believe that she loves him a lot, ' Niles thought.

'But if she loves him so much, why is she marrying another man? Is it because Carlos got engaged to Stephanie? Yeah, that must be it!'

The sheets and covers in the bedroom had already been removed. But Carlos remade the bed and slumped into it. He could somehow feel her unique fragrance in the room.

"Old man, I love you so much."

"Old man, will you kiss me?"

"Old man, rest assured. Harley will take responsibility for Millie."
