True Love Waits

Chapter 415 I Think I’m In Love

Debbie had returned the bracelets to Tabitha. And Tabitha had accepted them, which meant that she no longer thought of her as a daughter-in-law.

Elsie was amiable and caring. She had helped take care of Piggy whenever Debbie needed a favor. Now that Debbie and Ivan were married, she could truly call her "Mom."

"I can't reach Ivan. Can you have him call when he gets home from work?" Elsie asked.

"I will," Debbie promised.

"Okay. It's Piggy's naptime. Talk to you later."

"All right. Bye, Mom. Bye, Piggy."

Piggy waved at Debbie happily. "Mommy, bye-bye."

Debbie blew a kiss to Piggy before hanging up.

'Little one, sorry, Mommy can't spend time with you right now,' she thought sadly.
