Burning Passion: Love Never Die

Chapter: 39

“Augh! Mom!” As the duster hit her back, Gail screamed in agony.

How revealing it was that she had acted weak, helpless, and innocent in front of her schoolmates! Now, her true colors showed that she was mean and willful.

Watching everything happen right before him, Sebastian rubbed his temples with resignation and never interfered with his wife educating their daughter.

Looking at her aunt who had always favored her, Debbie was moved. Her heart ached when she saw Lucinda disappointed and heart-broken. ‘Never mind, * she thought. ‘Gail has already been punished.‘ Seeing Lucinda raise the duster again, Debbie stepped in and prevented her from going further.

“Aunt, you’ve already hit Gail. I think she knows what she did wrong now.”

“Debbie, stay out of this. You’ve pleaded for her so many times since you were little! Look at her, she never learned!”

Being the principal of a kindergarten, Lucinda was nice and able to control her temper, although her elder daughter Gail often drove her crazy.

The younger daughter, Sasha Murphy, had behaved better than Gail and even got along with Debbie.

In the Tea Room

Gail had been sent upstairs to apply some ice on her face. Sebastian went to the Tea Room, took out a tin of black tea and began to wash the tea leaves.

Sitting next to Lucinda, Debbie took out her phone and sent Carlos a message.

“You let Gail off easily just this once and I’ll go to New

York and talk with your grandfather about our divorce.”

Receiving no reply from him, she assumed that Carlos was busy.

All three chatted sparsely until Sebastian received a call and had to leave to head to his company. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

After Sebastian had left, Debbie Looked into the cup and recalled what

Gail had said to her moments ago.

“Aunt, who’s my mother? Why did my father refuse to tell me anything about her even on his deathbed?” she asked lightly. When her father was knocking on heaven’s door, he made sure to marry his daughter to a stranger instead of letting her search for her mother.

The expression Lucinda wore changed abruptly at the topic. She placed the teacup on the table with so much force that half of the tea spilled, soaking the tea board.

“Don’t ask about her. That woman is heartless. Forget about her,” Lucinda answered in a gloomy tone.

It was only days after Debbie had been born that her mother had abandoned her and her father, Artie.

The dramatic reaction Lucinda had made got Debbie sewing her lips tightly.

When Debbie was about to leave, Lucinda asked her in a low voice,

“Haven’t you met him yet?”

Debbie knew her aunt was referring to Carlos.
