Chapter 129 Mrs. Riley, Did You Have Me in Your Heart Now

Curtis let out a light sigh and asked, "Is it just this matter? Nothing else?" NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Adeline was dumbfounded, she slightly raised her voice in frustration and continued, "What else could there be? This matter is terrible enough. You want a child so badly..."

Before she could finish her sentence, Curtis's tone turned slightly stern as he retorted, "Who said that?"

He would take care of that person! That person was interfering with their relationship!

"It was you!" Adeline looked at Curtis in disbelief, "Just a few days ago, you said you liked children."

Curtis choked for a moment, his expression was awkward as he touched his nose, "Well... I lied to you."

Adeline couldn't quite tell whether he was being truthful or not for a while.

"I don't really like kids. I find them noisy all the time, very annoying. Moreover, having children can affect a couple's relationship. Many people around me have neglected their partners' feelings because of their children."

It seemed as though he was afraid that Adeline wouldn't believe him, so Curtis added, "Those who know me well are aware that I don't like children. Whenever kids see me, they cry. Ella knows that very well."

Seeing his annoying expression, Adeline began to believe him somewhat.

"So... You really don't mind that I can't bear children. You don't care?"

"I don't mind," Curtis shrugged, "I married you not just to have children."

While he was saying that, he affectionately embraced Adeline, "Stop trying to guess my thoughts all the time. If you have something to say, just tell me. We're a couple, we need to communicate more."

Adeline held Curtis's waist tightly, breathed a sigh of relief, and gratefully said, "You're so good to me, I will treat you well in the future."

Curtis rubbed her head and said, "You're my wife, if I'm not good to you, who will I be good to? Adeline, I didn't lie to you. I genuinely wanted to pursue you. I believe that a married couple should spend their lives together and they must love each other. If you don't love me and still spend a lifetime with me, how tiring would that be?"

Adeline's heart trembled, a look of surprise in her eyes, "So that's why you wanted to pursue me?"

"Otherwise? Adeline, I hope you have me in your heart, just like you had Logan before. I want to step into your heart." Curtis patted her back and asked, "So, do you have me in your heart now?"

Adeline felt touched, she nodded her head and answered, "A little bit.

Actually, it was more than just a little bit.

Since Curtis asked so directly, it was embarrassing for her to answer it.

Curtis asked again, "Just a little bit?"

Adeline chuckled softly and continued, "Well, you saved me today, and you said so much. That could earn you some extra points. But then you lied to me, saying you like children and want to have kids. Lying deducts ten points!"

They chatted for a while after, and then Curtis rubbed her head and said, "Alright, you should rest early. I promised you that I won't enter your room to sleep until I've successfully pursued you."

Adeline quickly grabbed his hand, her head lowered so much till it couldn't go any lower, and said, "Make an exception tonight. You... You stay here with me tonight, I'm scared."

"Alright, I always listen to my wife," Curtis's lips curved into a faint smile.

In fact, his departure was just for show. He swiftly pulled back the covers and lay down.

The movement was exceptionally nimble.

Adeline also lay down. She was hugging Curtis's warm body, unable to help but say, "I still want a child."

"Mmm, I'll go along with your wishes. If you want it, we'll try to make it happen. If you don't want it, we won't."

Adeline thought about Curtis's many business ventures and also remembered Mrs. Rees, the sixth- grade teacher who divorced at their school. So, she lifted her head from his embrace and asked.

"But what if we really don't have children? Who will inherit your properties?"

"Let's donate them to society," Curtis replied nonchalantly, "After all, these things can't be taken with us."

Adeline was shocked, she hadn't expected such an answer!

After a moment of silence, Adeline decided to talk with Curtis, "Dear, I've been thinking about asking you for some assistance."

"Assistance?"

"Yes. I can't keep being bullied by Edith and Victoria!"

"I want to fight back using your power! So, I need resources and people to help me gather evidence against them..."

"Sure." Curtis chuckled softly, rubbing the back of Adeline's head affectionately, and said, "Adeline, you've finally grown up and learned to leverage your position. I'll provide you with the resources and people you need. Go ahead and do whatever you want to do! Even if the sky falls, I'll hold it up for you."

.....

The next day, as Adeline walked out of the room, she was startled to see a woman doing a handstand in the living room.
