Chapter 47 Mrs. Riley, I Want to Tell You More about Mr. Curtis
It was Hannah who sent the video to Steffen's email box.
She couldn't find Curtis's contact method in anyway on the website of the Rileys. Finally she could only try to send it to the email box of Curtis's assistant and hoped Curtis could see it.
Curtis saw the video. His expression looked terrible.
Owen glanced at him. He cried out "What the hell" and then bounced meters away.
It was not joking!
He had known Curtis for so many years. He could guess out the content about the video. Curtis must be very jealous then.
In the past, when he saw Logan was with Adeline. He would be very upset. He would ask him to practice boxing with him or he would call Max out to drink with him.
It must have something to do with Logan then.
Owen absolutely didn't want Curtis to take it out on him. He kept several steps away from Curtis.
After a good while, Curtis's cold voice went out in the quiet ward.
"Where is Mrs. Riley?"
Steffen thought for a while and answered honestly, "The persons we had sent secretly to protect Mrs. Riley said Mrs. Riley was crying beside the river."
"Great, very great." Curtis ground his teeth and said these words. Owen and Steffen were all fearful that they didn't dare to make any sound.
At that moment, even a heavy breath could make Curtis angry.
The atmosphere in the ward was stifling until Curtis's phone rang.
Glancing at the phone, Curtis's seemed to calm down a bit.
Owen and Steffen looked at each other. They had no doubt that the phone call was from Adeline.
After Curtis picked up the phone, there was still coldness in his voice, "It's me."
The person in the other end kept silent for a good while. Then the person in the other end ventured, "Are you busty now?"
There seemed to be no emotion in Curtis's voice, "Say what you want to say."
Adeline took a deep breath and said, "Logan just proposed to me."
After hearing that, Curtis seemed to relax a little bit.
Adeline calmed down then. She found it easier to tell the truth.
She looked at the beautiful night scene outside the window and told Curtis the truth slowly.
"When I got off work, the director of Cultural Relics Institute came to pick me. He told me to help him with the journal. He is an elder and he only asked me for a small favor so I went with him."
"I only knew that Logan was to propose to me when I got to the Cultural Relics Institute. He hasn't come back. He proposed to me through a video... At the beginning, I was too muddleheaded so I have watched his video of proposal."
"As soon as I came back to earth, I refused him immediately. Curtis, I am sorry. I think I should tell you the truth about this."
"I just called Logan that I have got married but Victoria took my phone before I told him I have married you. I called you to explain the whole thing to you. I don't want you to know this thing from others. I will keep distance from Logan in the future."
"OK, I trust in you."
Hearing that, Adeline felt more relaxed.
A few moments later, Curtis's softened voice came from the other end of the phone, "Where are you now?"
Adeline replied honestly, "I have come back home."
"OK, then you go inside the bedroom and open the closet."
Adeline followed his order and went into the master bedroom with her phone. She opened the closet and was so surprised.
She didn't have many clothes. Her clothes even couldn't fill one-forth of the closet before, which made her closet look empty.
But then, there were all kinds of clothes of the season in the closet including overcoats, dresses, base shirts of all colors. There were so many clothes which made the closet look like clothing hanger in the clothing store.
She is also a woman and of course she likes the surprise.
A moment later, Curtis's warm voice came from the other end, "Mrs. Riley, happy birthday."
Adeline felt a bit moved. Curtis actually knew her birthday!
"Thank you." Adeline raised her lips unconsciously and asked, "Then when will you come back?"
Mentioned this, Adeline also did not know why Curtis's voice got colder. He only said, "I don't know."
Adeline could only gave a forced smile and said, "Alright, then you do your business first. I don't bother you now."
