Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 25

Chapter 25 Mrs. Riley Was Coveted While Mr. Curtis Was There 

Logan's mother, Victoria, arrived at the entrance of Le Charme along with the five ladies from wealthy circles. 

At that moment, someone among the noblewomen saw Adeline. 

"Eh, Victoria, isn't that your daughter-in-law to be?" There was a big smile on Mrs. Hodges's face. She came up to Adeline and held her hands passionately. 

"Adeline, long time no see. I miss you so much." As she said so, she looked at Victoria enviously, "How I am envying you! You can have such a daughter-in-law who is not only beautiful but also steady at doing things. Besides, she has good temperament!" 

Adeline gently pulled away her hands. She smiled politely and said, "Mrs. Hodges, Mrs. Riley is my sister-in-law now." 

"What?" Mrs. Hodges was so shocked. She couldn't think properly. "Who is your sister-in-law?" 

Mrs. Hodges was the wife of chairman of Prodiff Business Association. Everyone in this city was always respect to her. 

And she had a loud voice naturally. She always talked faster than she thought. Her reaction at that point was more like a hen which got angry and feather on it was sticking straight up. 

Adeline didn't have exaggerated expression. She smiled, looked at Victoria and said, "Then you should ask my dear sister-in-law about it." 

Mrs. Hodges was also a woman who had seen the world. She pulled down her face. There was also force in her voice. She asked, "Victoria, what's the matter?" 

Victoria regarded herself as the first lady of Prodiff. She felt awkward being asked like that. She could only smile stiffly and answer, "It should be kept only in our family." 

"Your family affair? Sister-in-law?" Mrs. Hodges frowned. Her eyes fell on Curtis who sat on the wheelchair. She was surprised and shout out, "No way, Adeline, you have married with Curtis the Cripple, haven't you?" 

 Adeline couldn't help tittering. 

Before that, she had had contact with Mrs. Hodges and knew that she was a straight minded person. She talked what she thought inside. 

At that moment, she also knew that Mrs. Hodges was just felt sorry for her, having no intention to mock on Curtis. 

Feeling that Adeline was smiling, Curtis showed his unpleasant face a bit. He raised his eyes to glanced at Mrs. Hodges. 

"Yes, she has married me who is a cripple." 

"Holy shit!" Mrs. Hodges looked at Curtis with disgust. Then she took Adeline's hand and led her several meters away. She lowered her voice and said to Adeline, "Adeline, let me ask you first. Are you just girlfriend of Curtis the Cripple? If you are just dating, maybe it is better for you to date with my son. You can choose either one of my two sons." 

Curtis, whose wife was coveted by others to his face, gritting his teeth while saying, "Mrs. Hodges, you don't need to worry about the relationship between me and Adeline. I have got the marriage certificate with Adeline. Now we are husband and wife protected by law." 

"Ah, no!" Mrs. Hodges cried out. 

She always liked Adeline. She respected Victoria so she did not ask Adeline to be her daughter-in-law. 

She had never expected that Adeline was "kidnapped" by Curtis then. 

Mrs. Hodges curled her lips and glanced at Curtis again. She complained in a low voice with Adeline. 

"How would you, such a beautiful girl, marry that bad-minded Curtis the Cripple?" 

"Adeline, the Curtis the Cripple is not a good man. He's terrible!" 

Curtis cut in coldly before Mrs. Hodges could finish her words. He said, "Mrs. Hodges, you call me Curtis the Cripple all the time in front of my wife who just married me for not long. Is that alright?" 

"I think it is alright. Why would it be not alright? Aren't you a cripple, or can you stand up and walk?" Mrs. Hodges answered without feeling anything wrong. 

Curtis, "..." 

Steffen, "..." 

Melissa, "..." 

Adeline couldn't help tittering again. 

"Adeline, you can still consider about my proposal. I heard from my husband that Curtis the Cripple has met some problems. His business has been took away and his wharf was took away. He has no power now and no money." 

"I don't need to consider about it." Adeline walked to Curtis's back as she said so. Her hands put gently on Curtis's shoulders. She said, "My husband treats me very well. It is not about the money. We have enough money to live our life." 

After finishing her words, Adeline looked at Victoria. She said, "Anyway, I need to thank my sister-in-law for her drugged milk or I would not be so happy like this." 

Mrs. Hodges caught the point immediately. She looked at Victoria with surprise, "What the f**k? You gave drugged milk to Adeline? What a b**ch you are!" 

After saying so, Mrs. Hodges felt awkward right away. She explained to Victoria, "Victoria, you know that I am a straight person. I say what I think inside. I don't talk in a roundabout way. Please never mind it." 

Victoria looked worse then...
