Chapter 120
Olivia shook her head, "I'm not sure."
She originally wanted to say that her mother speculated that her Uncle Curtis knew, but she felt that the truth was too cruel, so she didn't say it.
"Adeline, this is your privacy. I respect you. Whether you want to tell Uncle Curtis or not, it's up to you. And... even if you want to tell him, it should be you who says it."
Adeline forced a relieved smile, "Olivia, you've grown up and learned to consider others. Thank you."
Back at the apartment, Adeline locked herself in her room and sat on the windowsill, lost in thought.
She didn't know how long she had been sitting there when Curtis sent her a WhatsApp message, "Mrs. Riley, I won't be coming home for dinner tonight. I have an important business partner coming over to discuss a project."
Adeline replied with a simple Okay.
Coincidentally, she was feeling low and in a bad mood, and she really didn't want to face Curtis right now.
With Curtis' sensitive nature, if he saw her current state, he would definitely sense something and then ask her what was wrong.
But for now, she didn't want to confess to Curtis.
Adeline sat on the windowsill, tightly hugging her knees.
For the first time, she wanted to be a little selfish, and temporarily, she didn't want to tell Curtis this secret for the time being.
On the way back, she actually thought about a lot of things.
She was afraid that Curtis would divorce her if he found it out. And she was afraid of losing him.
She had never been cared for and cherished like this before, and when she was about to lose it, she realized that she cared more about Curtis than she had imagined, and she was more attached to the warmth he gave her.
Just like a person accustomed to walking in the dark suddenly having a guiding light, she could no longer tolerate sneaking around in the darkness!
Ding!
Her phone beeped with another WhatsApp message.
Curtis, "Mrs. Riley, don't you tell me to come back early? Other wives tell their husbands not to drink and to come back early. Aren't you worried about me? Aren't you afraid that I'll be seduced by other women?"
Adeline suppressed her emotions from the afternoon, and when she saw this message, she couldn't help but smile.
Even through the screen, she could feel Curtis's playfulness.
She curved her lips and replied, "Drink less and come back early. I'll be waiting for you at home."
