Chapter 127 The Unexpected Move of Curtis
Adeline placed her hand in Curtis's palm.
With a firm grip, Curtis pulled her up and bent down to embrace her.
Just as Adeline sat on Curtis's lap, her vision went dark. Curtis opened his black coat and enveloped her entirely within it.
Her small face nestled against that man's chest, listening to the powerful and rhythmic beats of his heart.
Thump, thump.
It gave her a sense of tranquility and warmth.
A slight tingling sensation in her nose and tears began to flow again.
Perhaps that was the last trace of warmth she could feel from him.
Once Edith informed Curtis that Adeline was unable to conceive, he would likely abandon her.
The wheelchair moved slowly ahead, with an umbrella held by Steffen over their heads.
Wherever they went, the bodyguards would call out.
"Mrs. Riley."
"Hello, Mrs. Riley."
"It's our fault, Mrs. Riley!"
General also barked at the right time, "Woof... Woof!"
As if he was also calling her Mrs. Riley as well.
The people around them, one by one, showed great reverence.
After that, they started to beat someone up.
She could hear there were cries of desperate pleading.
"Stop, Mr. Riley, please stop!"
"Mr. Riley, please spare us!"
"Mr. Riley, we didn't know that was Mrs. Riley!"
"We wouldn't dare to do it if we knew! Ah... Ah..."
The young hooligans cried out miserably, and there were even sounds of vomiting.
But Adeline had no sympathy for them at all. She even felt happy with it.
She couldn't imagine what she would have experienced if it weren't for Curtis arriving in time.
Those people simply didn't deserve any kindness.
The wheelchair came to a halt, and Curtis said, "After beating them, send them to the police station."
"Yes!" Steffen replied promptly.
Then, Adeline was helped into the car.
Throughout the journey, Curtis didn't say a word and enveloped Adeline in his coat.
Adeline could sense that Curtis seemed quite angry, probably because he knew about her inability to conceive.
Thinking of that, her heart grew heavy, and she held onto his waist tightly, reluctant to let go.
Upon reaching the Bay Hall, Olivia rushed over anxiously, "Adeline, are you alright?"
Adeline awkwardly emerged from Curtis's coat, "I'm fine." Content rights by NôvelDr//ama.Org.
Seeing that only a sleeve of Adeline's clothes had been torn, Olivia let out a sigh of relief.
"I was so worried. I was afraid I wouldn't make it in time. I overheard Mom's plan and wanted to inform Uncle Curtis immediately. But that wicked woman Rebecca had her bodyguards restrain me. If I hadn't bitten them and hit their heads, I wouldn't have been able to escape..."
Olivia was about to say more but suddenly covered her mouth.
Adeline looked at Olivia calmly and said, "I know it. Those thugs know I am a teacher."
Olivia felt so sorry and said, "I... I'm sorry, Adeline, I..."
Olivia was about to say something, but Curtis interrupted directly, "Tonight, you will stay in a hotel."
As he finished speaking, Olivia was forcefully taken away by Steffen.
As the apartment door closed, Curtis glanced at Adeline and said, "You should take a shower immediately."
After saying that, he pushed the wheelchair back to the guest room to freshen up.
Adeline stared at the closed door, a faint sense of unease creeping into her mind.
Curtis said he wanted to rekindle their love and pursue her again. That was very likely that he wanted to coax her into having a child.
Considering Curtis's condition, if she could bear him an heir as soon as possible, it would help him to regain his power.
So, now that he knew she couldn't conceive, did he regret marrying her?
Adeline felt like her heart was sinking into an endless abyss, shivering from the cold.
After taking a shower and tidying up, Adeline was about to step out of the bedroom and confess to Curtis, but a text message from Logan was seen.
"Adeline, I've made up my mind. This time when I get back, we'll try to conceive a bay first. Let's have a child first, and then we'll talk to my mom about getting married. She definitely won't object by then!"
Upon reading the message, Adeline's face turned incredibly pale.
