Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 44

Chapter 44 On Adeline's Birthday, Her Ex-fiancé Wanted to Give Her a Surprise

Adeline stared at the stone that Viola threw on the ground. Her heart was aching as if it was pulled by something.

That stone was found by Logan when he was working. It was obtained legally by the side of the archaeological pile, and it meant a lot to Logan.

Moreover, he was a nerd who couldn't engrave. He had learned for a long time before engraving on it stroke by stroke by saying, "Adeline, I want to be with you for the rest of my life."

The engraving of the words wasn't nicely done, but the heart of doing that was very rare.

Viola threw the stone to her in front of Curtis, how could she not understand what she was trying to mean?

Viola had no good intention at all, but an attempt to provoke the relationship between her and her husband!

Adeline took a deep breath, knowing very clearly what she should do and what she shouldn't do at that moment!

She bent down to pick up the stone and threw the stone into the trash can in front of Curtis. Then, she headed to clean up the living room as if nothing had happened.

She rolled up her sleeves and started to clean up the wine glasses on the coffee table, looking as if nothing had happened.

But Curtis wasn't stupid!

He could see that Adeline was pretending to be calm. He clenched his fists and his expression became cold instantly, "Leave it! Let Steffen deals with it."

Adeline was startled by the coldness in Curtis's voice. She looked at him blankly.

Curtis also knew that he had frightened his wife, so he changed his tone a little and explained, "There is a cleaner who comes to clean the house regularly. It's such a mess. I don't want you to get too tired, so go back to your room and get some rest."

Curtis was telling the truth.

Even though he was angry that she still cared about that broken stone, he still couldn't bear her being too tired.

"Uncle Curtis, I..." Adeline could sense that Curtis was in a bad mood, probably because she was concerned about the stone that Logan gave her.

She wanted to explain, but after calling out "Uncle Curtis" smoothly, Curtis's face darkened even more.

Steffen stood in front of Adeline in time and said politely, "Mrs. Riley, you should go back to your room now. Leave this to me. Trust me. I have been with Mr. Riley for so many years. I know how to deal with it. It will be best for you to go back to your room now."

Adeline understood what Steffen was trying to say, so she went back to her room.

With a click, the door closed, and Curtis's expression turned completely cold, a horrifying sense was lingering around his body. He couldn't restrain himself anymore.

He pushed the wheelchair to the side of the trash can, took a look at the stone inside, and happened to see that line of lettering which was so displeasing!

"He wants to spend the rest of his life with Adeline?"

"What a joke?"

"Adeline can only be with him for the rest of his life?"

Curtis's veins on his hands which were gripping the wheelchair were bulging. When he closed his eyes, the anomaly of Adeline in the car that day appeared in his mind.

It turned out that someone was selling carved jade on the side of the road that day, and that reminded Adeline about Logan!

Thinking of that damned worthless stone!

Curtis's heart was aching, and he wished he could dismantle that stone.

But he couldn't. He looked at Steffen with an annoyed face, "You! Dispose of everything that others have touched except this broken stone!"

After a pause, he added, "This stone, leave it to Mrs. Riley to handle it herself."

"Okay." After Steffen finished his sentence, the phone rang.

He steps away to answer the phone.

Curtis sat on the spot, looking at the closed door, his face looked terribly gloomy.

When Steffen returned to the living room, Curtis looked at him and asked, "It is said that husband and wife shouldn't let the conflict stays overnight. Do I need to go into the room now?"

His expression was saying, "If you dare to say "no", I'll kill you!"

Steffen's expression froze, and he smiled helplessly, "Mr. Riley, you can't go in now."

As soon as the last word fell, he received a sharp stare.

Steffen touched his neck and quickly explained, "James from the public relations department just called and said that the partners we met at noon are now under treatment in the hospital. The blood test report shows that they are all infected with the latest epidemic virus. I suggest that you better isolate yourself from your wife..."

Steffen's voice was getting soft gradually as he spoke.

Curtis answered with "Got it" with a sullen face, and then he went to the guest room.

Steffen sighed. Then, he contacted the cleaning team which he was familiar with to quickly tidied up the living room.

After the cleaning and disinfecting were done, Steffen closed the door and left.

Adeline waited in the room for a long time, but Curtis never came.
