Divorce Me Before Death Takes Me, CEO novel Chapter 107

Franklin had already shifted his focus back to the hook when he casually cominented, “Your annotations are quite good.”

This was a compliment, but Adele pretended not to hear it. She grabbed the hairdryer

and went back into the bathroom to dry her hair.

By the time she finished her skincare routine and lay down on the other side of the bed to

st, Franklin was still reading.

He didn’t fall asleep immediately, and Adele had no idea when he eventually did, as she fell asleep quickly.

The next morning, Adele woke up early. The sun had just risen, but the other side of the bed was already empty. The room was quiet, and Franklin was nowhere to be seen.

She was

almost certain now that he hadn’t slept here last night–he must have gone to Julia’s room instead.

Was he that eager, unable to control himself even for a night?

After breakfast, Adele packed her things, grabbed her suitcase, and was ready to leave.

As she opened the door, she overheard Isabella’s voice in the hallway: “Aunt Julie is so bad. She promised to sleep with me last night, but when I woke up in the middle of the night, she went back to her own room.”

Isabella was apparently complaining to Aunt Sara.

Upon hearing this, Adele could confirm that Franklin hadn’t stayed in her room last night but had gone to Julie’s instead. It was evident they had spent the night together.

Isabella then saw her dragging her suitcase out: “Mom?”

“Mm.” Adele snapped out of her thoughts, closing the door behind her. “Mom has work to do. You stay here and have fun with Daddy.”

Isabella nodded eagerly, “Okay, I’ll stay here, Mommy.”

Adele went downstairs, and when she reached the bottom, she ran into Franklin, who was with Julia.

Seeing her carrying a suitcase, Franklin asked, “Are you leaving?”

Adele replied coldly, “Mm.”

“Did you call for a ride?”

“Yes.”

He didn’t stop her, simply saying, “Okay.”

Adele walked out of the house, got into her car, and left.

Later that day, Levi woke up later than usual. When he came downstairs to join Franklin and the others for lunch, he suggested, “Frank, why don’t you go upstairs and ask her to come back for a bit?”

By “ask,” he naturally meant ask Adele.

Franklin responded indifferently, “No need. She’s already left.”

Levi raised an eyebrow. “She left?”

He paused, and so did Harry, who was sitting nearby.

“Yeah.” Franklin confirmed. “She had work to attend to.“.

Levi, aware of the reasons behind Adele’s departure–regarding her company and her decision to join Cole–smiled and said, “Wow, she’s busy again, huh? She was busy yesterday, and now she’s busy today?”

He gave a knowing chuckle. “Doesn’t it seem like she can’t function without Cole around?”

He Faked Death for Mistress,I Faked It for Revenge

40.0%

To be honest, Adele had gotten in through the back door and had no real skills. She wasn’t one of Cole’s major shareholders either. If she said she want. busy, it just sounded like an excuse.

It was one thing to make excuses, but to make such a flimsy excuse….

Levi didn’t know what to say.

Julia, who overheard, understood Levi’s implied meaning. She chuckled silently as she continued eating.

Adele had no idea what they were thinking. After leaving the hot spring resort, she headed straight to Cole and worked until it was dark

After two days of nonstop work, she was finally planning to head home when her uncle, Jason, called.

Half an hour later, she returned to the Miller family house, where her uncle and his family–his wife and two children, Xavier and Hugo–were waiting.

When they saw her, they greeted her warmly: “Cousin!”

Adele smiled faintly. “Mm.”

Hugo asked, “Where’s Isabella? Didn’t you say she came back to D City? Why didn’t she come for dinner?”

“She went to the hot springs and hasn’t come back yet.”

“Oh…”

Hugo, thinking that Isabella must have gone with Franklin to the hot springs, didn’t ask further.
