True Love Waits

Chapter 448 Mom, You Are So Nice To Me

With her eyes shut, Kasie rested her head on Ivan's shoulder and murmured, "I'm sorry. I feel so bad for you."

Ivan cast a sidelong glance at her and said, "Why? I'm good."

"Wow! You don't even know it."

Anything Ivan was about to say was stuck in his throat.

After a while, he pulled her into his arms and asked softly, "Where do you live?"

Kasie didn't resist. Instead, she settled herself in his arms easily. "I don't know," she grumbled.

'I'm sure Debbie knows, ' Ivan thought. 'I'll call her.' But he decided against it. Debbie was with Carlos now, and he didn't want to disturb them.

He pinched Kasie's nose softly and said playfully, "Then I'll have to take you home with me."

"Okay," she stammered.

Ivan didn't know whether to laugh or to cry.

He also lived in the same apartment complex as Debbie, though his apartment was in Building 5 and Debbie's was in Building 2.

The reason he chose to live in the Champs Bay Apartments was that Debbie was right there if his mother suddenly came by to check up on him. It would be easy to grab her and maintain the fiction of a happy marriage at least until his mom left.

When his car reached Building 2, Ivan asked the driver to stop.

He opened the car window and had a couple cigarettes before he finally saw Carlos' car approaching. He saw Debbie and Carlos emerge. Then Decker also sauntered over.

Despite his playful suggestion, Ivan had planned to take Kasie to Debbie's apartment and have her crash there. But things had gotten complicated.

After Carlos' car pulled away and Debbie and Decker headed for Building 2, Ivan directed the driver to Building 5.
