Chapter 137 Curtis Stared at the Black Stockings and His Eyes Widened

Adeline walked into the student's home, and the student's parents warmly greeted her.

After a brief chat about the student's performance at school, the conversation mostly consisted of awkward small talk.

The student's parents were smiling so much that their faces looked stiff.

Adeline felt a bit awkward as well. She glanced at her watch, exchanged a few pleasantries, and was ready to leave.

The student's parents immediately handed her two cans of tea leaves, saying, "Ms. Burton, these are..."

Adeline pushed the tea leaves back and said, "No matter what it is, I can't accept it."

"Ms. Burton, these are tea leaves from our home. They're not valuable."

Adeline declined politely, "Regardless of their value, I can't accept them. Our school has regulations. If I accept gifts, I could be dismissed."

After a few attempts by the student's parents to insist, they eventually gave up.

Adeline visited several more families in succession, and the situations were mostly similar.

When she reached the last household, Adeline felt a bit tired. Leaning against the car window, she regretfully said to Sara, "Your high-tech gadgets haven't come in handy at all, what a shame."

Sara was speechless.

They weren't on a mission. What could happen?

"Ah, I thought Victoria was up to some tricks again! It seems I was being overly cautious."

Sara was momentarily stunned and said, "Mrs. Riley, having such high alertness is a good thing." Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

"Yes," Adeline replied with a faint smile, "Alright, after we finish this last visit, today's task will be considered complete, and you can go home and rest.

After saying that, Adeline carried her bag and entered the villa of a student named Jacob Martinez.

As soon as she entered, Rosa warmly welcomed her.

"Welcome, Ms. Burton. I've prepared some cherries and fruit tea for you, Ms. Burton."

"Rosa, you don't have to be so formal," Adeline followed Rosa into the living room.

After a brief exchange, Rosa took the initiative and said, "Ms. Burton, I heard that you like dogs?"

"Yes, I like dogs," Adeline replied with a smile.

"Then let Jacob show you around quickly. We have several dogs at home, including Golden Retrievers, Polar Bears, Shiba Inus, and Poodles... Mainly because Jacob likes them. His dad even set up a special room for him to keep them."

While Rosa was saying that, she got up and asked the child to take the teacher to the dog kennel.

As they walked away, Rosa's expression darkened.

Adeline had loved dogs since she was a child, and now she couldn't resist playing with the fluffy little puppies.

After a while, an affectionate little Teddy dog became even more intimate with Adeline, jumping up and down, tugging at her leg, asking to be held.

A "hiss..." was heard.

The little Teddy's paw tore open a large hole in Adeline's skin-colored stockings.

It just so happened that Rosa walked over and saw it. She said, "Oh dear, Ms. Burton, I'm so sorry. Our little Teddy damaged your stockings. Come with me. I have new stockings in my closet. I'll get them for you to change."

Adeline had initially thought of refusing, but when she looked at the torn stockings, she found it inconvenient and agreed.

Rosa led Adeline toward the master bedroom.

Adeline paused at the bedroom door and politely said, "Rosa, I'll wait for you here."

After all, it felt a bit inappropriate to enter someone else's master bedroom, especially on the first visit.

Rosa warmly invited her, "It's fine, my husband is not here. Just come in with me, you can change here."

"No need, Rosa. I'll change in the restroom," Adeline firmly declined.

Rosa couldn't persuade her, so she finally took out a new pair of black stockings from the closet and handed them to her.

After changing the stockings, Adeline took out her phone and politely asked, "Rosa, how much are these stockings? I'll transfer the money to you."

"No need! How much can a pair of stockings cost? Ms. Burton, just keep them." Rosa said generously.

"I can't, these are yours, I should pay for them."

"No, no need. Ms. Burton, consider these stockings as my compensation to you. After all, it was our Teddy that caused the damage."

Rosa was adamant about not accepting the money, so Adeline had to give up.

Back at the Bay Hall, as soon as she entered the apartment, Adeline saw Curtis sitting in the living room waiting for her.

"You're home. Mrs. Riley, you've worked hard..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Curtis's gaze landed on the long legs clad in black stockings, and his eyes widened in surprise.
