Eventually, Marley was released.

As soon as she emerged from the detention room, she weakly grabbed
Carlos’ arm.
Carlos immediately recoiled in disgust.

But he seemed to think of something, so he swallowed his disgust for now and took her away.
Debra’s POV:

“You never know. Maybe it wasn’t Caleb who wanted to bail Marley out.
Maybe Carlos did it because he likes her and he was just too embarrassed to say it.”
I shook my head with a bitter smile. “Forget it. There’s no need to make excuses for him.”
My mind was a mess. Anger, sadness, and denial surged in my heart.
Sensing that I was in a bad mood, Zoe patted me on the shoulder and said in a softer voice, “I’m going to get off work soon. Can you wait for me? We can grab a drink at the bar together.”
I smiled and shook my head, declining her offer. “I’ll have to take a rain check. My daughter’s waiting for me at home, so I should be getting back.”
Zoe frowned with obvious displeasure. “She has a dad, doesn’t she?
Didn’t Caleb move into your apartment? If he has time to spend with other women, shouldn’t he have time to take care of Elena?”
I opened my mouth to explain, but Zoe interrupted me expressionlessly.
“Debra, call Caleb and tell him that you won’t be going back tonight.
Tell him that he can take care of Elena. This is a responsibility that

Caleb should share with you. You can’t raise Elena all by yourself now that he’s in the picture.”
“But…”
I was a little worried about Elena, but on second thought, I realized that if I went back home in such a bad mood, I’d inevitably quarrel with Caleb again, which would definitely make Elena sad.
I had no choice but to compromise. “Okay, fine. I’ll call him now.”
I took my phone out and dialed his number, but I still felt very conflicted.
Could I trust Elena’s fickle father to take care of her? Wouldn’t that be irresponsible?
I was so distracted that I didn’t realize the call had connected. Zoe had to pluck the phone out of my hand and say to Caleb, “Caleb, Debra’s hanging out with me tonight. She’ll come home very late. You’d better take good care of Elena while she’s gone.”
Then she hung up without giving Caleb the chance to respond.
