Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 194

Chapter 194 Old Mrs. Riley Saw Curtis's Secret Touch On Adeline

Seeing that old Mrs. Riley hesitated, Curtis lightly chuckled and asked, "Mom, don't you like someone like Adeline? Good-looking, obedient, and a teacher."

Curtis subtly praised Adeline.

Adeline lowered her head slightly, feeling like she had been flirted with again.

Old Mrs. Riley cast a disdainful glance at him and said, "With your lame leg and temperament, someone like Adeline wouldn't be interested in you."

"Grandma," Adeline gently tugged at old Mrs. Riley's arm, signaling her not to hurt Curtis's pride too much.

Old Mrs. Riley didn't pay much attention to Adeline's remark and continued as they walked, "Adeline, you don't need to worry about Uncle Curtis. His heart is wrapped in a layer of iron and it isn't that fragile. Those few words won't hurt him."

Though she said that, as soon as old Mrs. Riley sat down, she turned to the first friend who approached and asked, "Do you know any teachers? Is there anyone at a marriageable age? Will they match up with my youngest son?"

Just as old Mrs. Riley finished speaking, she added thoughtfully, "It's fine if they're a bit older. My youngest son isn't picky."

"Mom..." Curtis's voice sounded a hint of displeasure.

Old Mrs. Riley gave him a sideways glance and continued, "With your qualities, what kind of person are you looking for? What's wrong with someone a bit older? They know how to take care of others."

That friend hesitated at old Mrs. Riley's words and cautiously inquired, "Well, there are some older candidates, but they're around 38 years old. Of course, they know how to take care of others. But... 38 years old... Will that...?"

Pfft!

Adeline almost spat out her tea.

She quickly grabbed a tissue from the table to suppress the urge to laugh.

Curtis's expression turned extremely dark.

Old Mrs. Riley grumbled, "Just a bit older... But can't be that much older."

"All right. All right..." that friend responded, "I'll find someone else for you."

"Good," old Mrs. Riley nodded.

Her concern was her child's marriage. She might say she wasn't picky, but she couldn't really be that nonchalant about it!

After all, choosing a spouse was a lifelong commitment.

It couldn't be taken lightly.

Adeline reached out to pick a walnut from the table, intending to offer it to old Mrs. Riley.

Just as her hand was about to reach the walnut, Curtis's hand also extended.

In front of old Mrs. Riley, Curtis secretly touched the back of Adeline's hand.

Adeline reacted immediately. Her body trembled slightly. She quickly picked up a walnut and pulled her hand back.
