Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

“Madam, the president will come on time at six o’clock.”

Ben added after Adele got out of the car.

Adele lived in an old teacherage. Once she got out of the luxury car, she instantly attracted the attention of countless people.

Adele did not have time to think about it. How did Ben know that she lived here? She nodded at Ben and then quickly fled the scene.

Adele went up to the sixth floor in one breath. When she arrived at the door of the house, she was already tired and panting.

She was about to knock on the door when her mother, Ms. Henderson, arrived right behind her with a basket of vegetables.

“Adele, why are you running and panting like this? You are not ladylike at all.” Ms. Henderson opened the door and said disdainfully.

Adele stuck out her tongue. As soon as the door was opened, she rushed in, took off her shoes, rushed into the living room, and picked up a cup of water to wolf it down.

Ms. Henderson shook her head with a look of disappointment. “Adele, what a shame. I am really sorry for giving you such a beautiful name. You should’ve been called Glutton!”

Ms. Henderson said as she put the basket into the kitchen. Then she came out and muttered, “When I came back, I heard from Aunt Henderson that in the neighborhood a little girl had just stepped out of a luxurious car! I wonder who the lucky girl is.”

“That was me,” Adele said in a weak voice with a guilty conscience.

“Ah, you? Fat chance indeed! What rich guy will be interested in you? While the phoenix can marry the dragon, we hens can only marry roosters. Adele, look in the mirror and you will know what you are worthy of.” Ms. Henderson laughed disdainfully.

Her disbelief made Adele speechless.

Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes were both college teachers, so it could be said that Adele was born into a family of scholars.

As for finding a husband for Adele, all that the Wes family could wish for was a match in social status. They had never thought about wild chickens flying to the branches and becoming phoenixes.

Also, they never wished such marriage upon Adele. After all, it was not so easy to be a wife to a rich family.

Adele knew what her parents were thinking. If she told her mom that she really married into one of the richest families, she was afraid that she would faint from fear and disbelief.

“By the way, how was the date today?” Ms. Henderson walked over and sat down on the sofa, looking like she was going to judge Adele.

Ms. Henderson had retired. Other than dancing in the square, she would go to the hospital as a volunteer.

The person that she wanted Adele to date this time was the grandson of Grandma Lee, whom she befriended at the hospital.

“Mom, how did you get to know this person?” Adele asked as she sat down on the sofa.

“He’s Grandma Lee’s grandson. I heard that he is thirty years old and hasn’t had a girlfriend yet. He has always been busy with work. I have seen the photos and he looks quite reliable.” She talked about Damon with a faint smile on her face. She was obviously very satisfied.

Adele bit her lips as she watched her mother’s expression. Obviously, her mom did not know Damon’s true identity at all.

“I asked you a question, what do you think about him?” Seeing that Adele was absent-minded, Ms. Henderson rolled her eyes.

Adele bit her lower lip and nodded. “He is a nice guy,” she said perfunctorily.

She was mulling over whether or not she should tell her about the marriage certificate.

“That’s good to know. Take your time. You can try him out first. After all, it takes a long time to see a person’s heart.” Ms. Henderson stood up and walked towards the kitchen, preparing to wash the vegetables that she had just bought.

Seeing that her mom was about to enter the kitchen, Adele rushed over and pulled the corner of her clothes. “Mom, where’s Dad? Is he coming back for dinner tonight?”

“Yes. What’s wrong?” Ms. Henderson asked.

Adele shook her head, then nodded to show all was well. Finally, she whispered, “Well, he will be coming to our house for dinner tonight.”

After careful consideration, she had thought it wise to tell her about Damon’s coming first. As for the marriage certificate, she had to wait for Professor Wes, her dad to come back so that she could have a protective umbrella.

“He?” At first, Ms. Henderson did not understand, but when she saw her daughter’s blushing face, she instantly understood to who she was referring.

“Sure!” Ms. Henderson glanced at the greens in the basket and immediately walked to the door. “I’ll go buy some extra fish and meat,” she said while changing her shoes.

Before Adele could react, Ms. Henderson had already left.

Adele felt relieved. She returned to her room, closed the door, and carefully took out the marriage certificate…Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
