Avand her family left the park house and went back to their house.
While lying on the bed, Ava recalled how Ian’s eyes were piercing into hers when she was talking about having someone in her
“What do you want? You can have someone, but I can’t? Then you are an idiot. I am not going to cry over a person who doesn’t deserve me.”
She closed her eyes, hoping to forget what had happened today.
The next morning,
Ava’s eyes opened when she heard the loud knocks on her door, She hurriedly jumped out of bed and ran to the door.
She thought something had happened.
When she opened the door, she found Debra standing there.
“Debra?
“Babe, what’s wrong with you? Why were you not answering my calls?”
Ava turned her head and glanced at her phone, which was lying on the bed. She might have mistakenly put it on silent mode. “I am sorry, I was
“It’s okay.”
Debra spoke and pushed her inside. She closed the door and turned to face her.
“Now get ready. We have to go out.”
Ava gave
a puzzled look. “Go out? Where? And what time is it?” Ava said, rubbing her eyes.
“What time? It is eleven in the morning.”
Ava saw Debra shaking her head in disbelief. She yawned, pushing her away,
“I want to sleep more.”
She walked over to the bed while saying this. Debra quickly grabbed her hand.
“No, no, We have some work. You can’t sleep.”
“No. Leave me. I want to sleep, Debra. Last night I could not sleep
“I understand what you were thinking all night How to ignore the cruel tan Dawson?”
Ava was unable to deny it. She was absolutely right. She sighed and took a seat on the bed.
“I am just exhausted. I am going back soon
Her words came as a surprise to Debra. She sat down next to her.
Awa, why do you want to go back?” she asked her with an upset tode.
Ava lowered her head and rubbed one palm against another. She blinked, her gaze shifting to the floor.
…”
She had no idea what to say. Why did she want to go back? What was the real reason?

Debra smirked when she noticed her confusion. She leaned toward her and whispered.
“Perhaps it’s because of the guy you like.”
And raised her gaze to look at her. Debra wiggled her brows with evil pr
Ava laughed as she shook her head. “Come on, Deb.”
Debra moved her hands and began to tickle her.
“Tell me how things are going between you and him. Have you done that yet?—
Ava could not say anything because she was laughing so hard. De was tickling her belly and
Ava lay on the bed as she moved left and right. Debra continued to tickle her. She also lay down on the bed, began to laugh together.
“Let me go. I can not take it anymore.” Ava exclaimed loudly, laughing
At that moment, the door burst open
Both of them turned their heads to the door and paused.
Stephen stood at the door, worried, until he saw what was going on in the bed.
He looked at both women with a frown
“What the hell! What are you two doing?” he said, arching his brows deeper.
Ava noticed her pajamas were unfixed as well as Debra’s clothes. It was because of their tickling sensation. She could not help but laugh and sat up.
Debra did not sit up. Instead, she gave Stephen a smug look and asked,
“What are yo
are you doing here? You should have knocked on the door before entering
Stephen’s brows rose up hearing her question.
“Excuse me? This is my home, and this is my sister’s room. I don’t need to take your permission to enter.”
Debra rolled her eyes and then closed her eyes. Her actions infuriated Stephen, and he glared at her in a hostile manner.
Ava felt awkward in that situation. She glanced at Debra and then at her brother.
“Steph, do you need something?”
That was when he moved his gaze from Debra and shifted his gazelo
“Theard your screams. So I rushed he
“Oh. 1am sorry. Nothing happened. We were just having fun.”
“Yeah, I saw it,” he muttered, glancing at Debra again.
With a sigh, Debra got up and looked at Ava
“Why don’t you just go and have a shower?”
Ava realized that she could not sleep anymore. So she agreed with her and went to take a shower.
When Debra noticed Ava closing the bathroom door, she turned to Stephen, who was fixing his glare at her.
Debra got out of bed and fixed her dress, which ruffled a little.
“Look, I am telling you this for the first and very last time. Don’t ever talk to me or give me that attitude again.”

Debra frowned at him and asked,
ust because you are the Gemma of this park
A look of anger was all that Stephen gave her, he did not respond
Debra moved toward him and stopped a few feet away
“I thought you were a sensible guy when you accepted her as your ster. But you are just like any other men. You didn’t trust her. Her own brother didn’t trust her Tran’t tell you how much I despise you for this, Stephen Taylor”
Stephen was taken aback. He never had many conversations with Debra But one thing was obvious. He never liked this girl. always overtook him. It never suited him.
But after she told him about Ava’s situation, he turned his bread w
“The circumstances were worse at the time I had no choice but to believe what was in front of my eyes
Debra scoffed at him. “Sometimes what you see is not always the mouth
The attention of Stephen was once again drawn to her. He looked directly into her eyes. He could see a look of imitation
He could understand why she did not like him. It was because Ava was her friend, and he did not that her at first.
“Your friend’s game is over. My friend now has her own man. Your friend can go to hell”
