Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 156

Chapter 156 Adeline's Countermove

"And if you have any further requests for reconciliation, feel free to bring them up," Leo added.

Adeline instinctively glanced at Curtis.

Curtis had a hint of a smile on his lips as he spoke, "You are the victim. If you want to reconcile, go ahead; if you don't, then don't. It's up to you."

In a word, he supported whatever decision Adeline made.

Leo looked at Curtis with surprise, his brow furrowing slightly.

He keenly sensed that something was amiss in the relationship between these two.

Adeline was his daughter-in-law-to-be, so why would she seek Curtis's opinion?

And Curtis, who had never meddled in affairs like this before, why was he so concerned about Adeline's matter?

Leo felt the need to have a private conversation with Curtis after he managed to send Olivia away.

Something was off here.

Adeline understood Curtis's words and took a moment to respond, "Based on the promises you just made, I agree to reconcile. But this is the last chance. I know Logan's mother doesn't like me. And if it happens again, I won't let her go."

Leo showed a hint of surprise on his face.

He remembered Adeline as someone who was usually gentle and easy to talk to, even giving off an impression of being too submissive and lacking in assertiveness. He hadn't expected her to be so determined this time.

That's good.

That's how she should be.

He nodded approvingly and said, "Alright, I understand. Thank you, Adeline."

With that, he smiled slightly, placed his hand on Curtis's shoulder, and squeezed it. He hinted at something, saying, "How about you and I have a chat, just the two of us?"

There was a fleeting moment when his gaze rested on Adeline.

Curtis knew what Leo wanted to talk about. He nodded and said, "Let's go to the study."

Before they left, he cast another reassuring glance at Adeline.
