Chapter 23 It Was Unbelievable! Mr. Riley Answered Logan's Video Call in a Bathrobe
Soon after, Logan regained his senses and said, "Uncle Curtis, are you home?"
Curtis didn't answer the question. He asked, "What's up?"
"I'm looking for Adeline."
"Why are you looking for Adeline?" Curtis's voice became more serious.
Logan was the younger generation in the family and he had always been afraid of the majesty of his Uncle Curtis. Hearing his cold voice, his heart skipped a beat. He even had the illusion that he was harassing his uncle's wife!
On second thought, he noticed that he was a grown-up and there was nothing wrong with him looking for his girlfriend. Then, he said shyly.
"Uncle Curtis, I miss Adeline. We found some very special cultural relics here today, and I want to share them with her."
When it comes to archeology, Logan's eyes brightened up.
"By the way, Uncle Curtis, where is Adeline? What is she doing? Why is her phone with you?"
"Adeline is taking a shower."
As soon as Curtis finished speaking, a woman's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Logan! Come here quickly! I found something!"
Logan was overjoyed, and quickly told Curtis, "Uncle Curtis, that's it for now. I have to go."
After speaking, Logan quickly hung up the call and went to see the new discoveries with his junior.
Curtis stared at the pitch-black screen and smiled.
He thought to himself, "Such a silly boy."
"How could he has no response at all after seeing me answering Adeline's phone in a bathrobe?"
If they exchanged the situation, he would have flown over there in a helicopter immediately!
Curtis smiled lightly and was about to put down the phone. Then, he saw Adeline, who had just walked out of the bathroom, and looked at him.
"Who called just now?"
Curtis was startled suddenly. He quickly suppressed his teasing expression, revealing a somewhat lonely and weak appearance.
"Ahem..."
He coughed twice, looked at Adeline with a gloomy expression, and answered honestly, "It's Logan. He said he missed you."
Adeline's heart trembled slightly, and she was taken aback.
She couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was having.
It was awkward.
Curtis lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have answered your call without your permission. I... I just saw that it was Logan who called, and I was curious about what he wanted to tell you, so I couldn't help but answer it."
"Adeline, I'm sorry. I'm too unconfident. I always worry that when Logan comes back, you will regret marrying a handicapped, and you will divorce me."
Adeline felt bad. She walked over, gently picked up Curtis's hand, and said, "I won't. Since I'm married, I'm going to spend my whole life with you. Don't think too much. You're great. I mean it."
"Really?" Curtis made two fake coughs.
Adeline nodded.
Curtis took her hand and said very schemingly, "Logan was very excited. He said that there is a major archaeological discovery, and he wants to share it with you. However, a junior happened to call him over, saying that there was another discovery. Therefore, he hung up the phone. Adeline, if you really like archeology, I can learn it too. I can discuss it with you too."
"No. I don't like it!" Adeline changed her expression in a switch and looked slightly despised.
She never liked archeology.
But since Logan loved it, out of respect for her boyfriend, she was willing to listen to his sharing.
But it happened every time!
Whenever Logan called her, the junior would call him over for the new discovery, and he would immediately leave her for it.
Sometimes, it took several days for him to remember that he had called her earlier and returned her call.
Once she hinted to Logan that his junior was trying to get into their relationship, but Logan always smiled and said that she was jealous and didn't take it seriously.
Looking at Adeline's expression, the corners of Curtis's mouth twitched in joy.
