Chapter 322 Engagement Ceremony
The man’s teasing tone made Adele’s cheeks burn. She frowned and tried to break away from him. “I put the things on the table, Mr. Yusuf…”
Damon refused to let go. His arms wrapped around her waist like iron welding, firmly controlling her range.
“Don’t move.”
Damon’s face suddenly darkened. When he said these two serious words, Adele immediately stopped struggling and looked at him with wide eyes.
Time seemed to have stopped at this moment. The two of them looked at each other, and all their feelings were transmitted between their eyebrows. They became more and more thick, and it was difficult to remove them.
For some reason, Adele’s body suddenly felt a little hot, and his breathing became much faster.
Sensing the subtle change in the woman, Damon’s heart moved, and his eyes sank. His gaze moved down and swept over her white neck.
He reached out his hand and groped around her waist with his big hand. He flexibly untied the wind belt around her waist.
Adele was shocked and immediately felt a chill run through her body. Before she could react, he had already taken off her clothes to her elbow.
The dress she was wearing was very stylish and would not reveal too much, but it perfectly displayed the graceful curves and sexiness of a woman.
Feeling the man’s gaze sweep over her body, Adele blushed even more and hurriedly tried to pull up the clothes.
Damon reached out and grabbed her hand. He said in a low voice, “Let me see.”
This was the first time he had seen her wear such a dress. It was as if she was possessed and wanted to see her take off her coat and only wear a dress.
Adele was stunned. He had already pulled off his windbreaker jacket.
Seeing the entire scene, Damon’s eyes darkened, and the male Adam’s apple on his neck unconsciously rolled up and down.
This kind of Adele really stunned him.
“Mr. Yusuf, it’s getting late. It’s time for me to go.” Adele saw the look in his eyes and quickly saw the meaning in his eyes.
As she spoke, she put on her coat again and walked towards the door. However, Damon suddenly grabbed her wrist and said, “Wait a minute.”
Adele frowned and was about to speak when footsteps and laughter suddenly came from outside the door. Then, the sound approached and someone pushed the door.
Adele’s body stiffened and his nerves tensed up. He looked nervously at the door.
Unexpectedly, the door was not pushed open, but Clara’s voice came from outside the door. “Damon? Are you inside?”
Adele was stunned. At this moment, her mind was blank and she was sweating nervously. Two seconds later, she reacted and quickly broke away from Damon’s hand. She said in panic, “I have to hide!”
If Clara saw her and Damon alone in the dressing room, she would definitely be misunderstood!
As she spoke, she hurriedly searched for a place to hide. She looked at the large wardrobe over there and immediately walked over.
“What are you hiding for?” Damon asked in a low voice as he caught up with her.
Adele sucked in a breath of cold air. She did not bother to answer his question as she hurriedly opened the cabinet door and bent down to enter.
Damon frowned. He raised his hand and locked the cabinet door. He watched as the woman curled up into a ball and hid behind her clothes. She looked silly but cute. He could not help but smile.
“If you don’t do anything guilty, you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Adele, what are you afraid of?”
Adele was so anxious that she didn’t know how to answer. She tried to close the cabinet door but couldn’t. She could only look up at him and say, “Let go…”
“Bang! Bang!”
“Damon, open the door!”
Outside, Clara seemed to have realized something. His voice became nervous and anxious, and even the force of knocking on the door was much stronger.
This dressing room was specially designed for the two of them. Now that the door was locked from the inside, it meant that there was definitely someone in the room. But why did Damon lock the door? It really made people have to think more about it.
The knocking outside grew heavier, as if it had hit Adele’s heart. Her nervous voice trembled a little. She looked up at Damon and said anxiously, “She is your fiancee. Aren’t you afraid of being misunderstood?”
Damon smiled faintly, but his face was still calm. He was not anxious at all. He slowly leaned over and closed the distance between the two of them. His deep eyes stared at her and asked, “I am not afraid of being misunderstood. So, what are you nervous about? Could it be that you are hiding a secret in your heart?”
He dragged his voice slowly, and there was a hint of a smile in his eyes. He added, “Or, you like me, so you are afraid that Clara will know?”
Adele was stunned. A trace of unnaturalness quickly flashed across her face. She took a deep breath and hesitated for a moment. She quickly said, “No, I have someone I like. It’s not you. Mr. Yusuf, don’t think too much. I’m just worried that Miss Moore will misunderstand.”
When Damon heard this, his hand on the wardrobe suddenly tightened a little. Two seconds later, his face became much darker and colder. He looked deeply at Adele, loosened his hand, and turned to walk toward the door.
Adele secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and quickly closed the door of the wardrobe.
Soon, the sound of the door opening came from the direction of the door, followed by Clara’s voice. “Damon, what are you doing inside? Why haven’t you opened the door?”
As she spoke, her gaze unconsciously glanced behind Damon.
Damon’s complexion wasn’t too good, so she replied indifferently, “I was just resting for a while, so I didn’t hear anything.”
Hearing this, Clara nodded, but her heart was still uneasy. She walked around Damon into the room and looked around.
In the dressing room, other than the clothes rack and table cabinets, there was no other person. She looked at it suspiciously twice, but still couldn’t dispel her doubts.
“Clara, are you ready?” Damon asked as she walked towards the clothes rack.
“I’m ready.” Clara nodded and walked to the back of the clothes rack to take a look. Seeing that there was no one there, she relaxed her guard.Published by Nôv'elD/rama.Org.
She turned around and her face turned into a bright and sweet smile. She walked to Damon and naturally held his arm. “There are many guests outside. Dad is here too. I’ll take you there and greet him.”
Damon’s expression remained the same, and she did not refuse.
After the two of them walked out of the dressing room hand in hand, Adele, who was hiding in the wardrobe, secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
If Clara had found out that she was here just now, it would probably cause an unnecessary suspicion and dispute. Fortunately, she hid.
After a while, she heard that there was no sound outside. Only then did she slowly push open the closet door and come out from inside. Apart from the dressing room, she walked through the corridor and returned to the hall. Seeing the crowd coming and going, she suddenly did not know where to go.
There were a lot more people in the hall compared to before. It was bustling with activity, crowded with people, and bustling with noise and excitement. It was a harmonious and bustling scene.
Adele looked around and saw the center of the crowd. His eyes suddenly stopped.
In the middle of the crowd, it was Damon and Clara. They were holding hands. The man was wearing a black, high-defined suit. The woman was wearing a white, gorgeous dress. She was beautiful and beautiful, like a jade, and no matter where she went, she seemed to have a dazzling light.
It seemed that the two of them were indeed the best match.
