Chapter 1752

"From what I've seen, Andrew's full of it. You say he doesn't lie, but didn't he ditch you today?" Marion sneered.

"No way. He'd never lie to me. Stop badmouthing him," Debra retorted.

She unbuckled, flung the door open, and stormed out.

Marion frowned, watching her go aimlessly ahead, and trailed her slowly in the car. Follow current novᴇls on FindN()vel.net

Finally, he rolled down the window. "I was talking trash. Get in before you freeze."

"Not till you apologize for dissing Andrew."

He rubbed his temples. "Fine, I was wrong to judge Andrew. He's honest as they come. Happy now?"

"That's more like it." She stopped and climbed back into the car.

He checked his watch. "What programs would you like to try?"

"All of them."

"Not enough time."

"Make them close late. Andrew does it for me all the time."

Back when she wanted to play and Andrew was busy, he'd call the park, book it out, and hire actors to warm up.

She always got first dibs on everything. If it got late, he'd light the place up and blast the music.

He had said if she wanted it, he would make it happen. Her eyes would sparkle every time she talked about him.

Marion caught her glow in the rearview mirror but looked away quickly.

Everyone in Seamar City knew Andrew's ruthless style. He wiped off blood without blinking.

Marion had never seen that gentle side of Andrew. He even doubted if she was raving about someone else.

"Here we are," he said, parking outside the park.

Debra eyed the crowd, her earlier excitement fading. "I don't wanna play anymore."

She slumped against the window. "I just want to play with Andrew, but he is always so busy. I thought it'd cheer him up. If he's not here, what's the point?"

She could book the whole place with one phone call, but without him, there would be no fun to speak of.

Marion noted her disappointment. "I'm right here, and you're gonna ditch me?"

"You?"

"Andrew flaked out on you. I didn't."
