Chapter44
In that moment, Adelaide’s shoulders were tense, her nails.
almost digging into her flesh.
He pretended to be fine in front of Teresa.
Why is it that whenever I face him, I always feel wronged by
just one of his words?
She bit her lip, trying hard not to let the tears.fall.
“After going back to the room to take a shower, I’ll sleep well.”
With that, he turned around and left.
Adelaide seemed to anticipate what he was about to do, and
immediately grabbed his hand, “Reginald!”
Reginald turned around and saw her eyes slightly red, tears
swirling in her eyes, his handsome face suddenly cold. He
angrily said, “What were you thinking? If you had asked me for
help, would I have let you go back to the Pierce’s place alone?”
“Oh, you wanna come with me to the Pierce’s place and have
my back?” Adelaide looked up, determined not to let the tears
fall.
“What do you think?” he said impatiently.
Adelaide suddenly exclaimed, “He looks for women, I look for
men, we are
a perfect match.”
“Matching my ass!” Reginald’s eyes twitched, his voice squeezing out from between his teeth.
Adelaide was taken aback when he spoke so harshly for the first time.
Reginald furrowed his brow, calmed down his anger. But the next second, he reached out and wiped away the tear about to fall from the corner of her left eye with the pad of his thumb.
A brief touch, Adelaide forgot how harsh he had just spoken,
his heart skipped a beat, and he couldn’t help but step back.
Almost at the same time, Reginald grabbed the door frame with
his other hand, as if trapping her within this space.
“Spill it, how bad is it? If you don’t tell me, then I’ll have to go to
the Pierce’s place myself and find out.”
Adelaide could only say, “Finley drugged Garrett, and he
hooked up with Amanda.”
Reginald sneered, “Oh really? And then what?”
“We have signed the divorce agreement.”
This news was really good for Reginald. He said, “Should I
congratulate you then?”
Adelaide looked at him and said, “Thank you.”
Reginald squinted, “You seem to regret signing.”
“No.”
