Goodbye, Mr. Ex: I've Remarried Mr. Right novel Chapter 1646

"For what?" Debra asked.

"You knew I was worried about Mr. Lowe, so you brought me," Kale said. "Without your suggestion, I wouldn't have the chance to come."

He'd disliked her at first, but after all this time, he'd come around.

"You're welcome," Debra said. "Now let's focus on finding Michael and figuring out Drake's location. I brought you, but I can't promise we'll get him out today. You get that, right?"

"Yeah," Kale said, his voice heavy. "I've got a favor to ask."

"What is it?"

"I know this trip is risky. Mr. Lowe is the only family I've got left. We've been through hell together. If he hadn't found me back then, I would have been dead. If I don't make it, promise me you'll save him. The world never meant much to him before. No one did. But you're different."

At first, Drake grabbed Debra to get at Marion, but later, she was all he saw.

Clueless about feelings, Drake never figured it out. But Kale knew she was special to Drake.

He pulled a pendant from his neck and handed it to her. "This is a charm I got years ago. It's been with me forever. It's all I've got worth anything. Take it. Promise me you'll bring him back safe."

Debra eyed the pendant. She didn't want it, but his steady gaze stopped her from saying no.

"Alright, I promise," she said, slipping it on. "But if we all make it back alive, I'm giving this back."

"Deal." He nodded.
