Chapter 253 They Were Getting Engaged!
This sentence was full of the charm and love of a little woman. Even if Adele, this woman, looked at it, her body was a little numb.
No wonder Damon liked her. There was a reason for this.
The corners of Adele’s lips curled up. He forced down the discomfort in his heart and pulled out an ugly smile.
She wanted to say goodbye, but who knew that Clara leaned gently against Damon. The hand holding his arm tightened. He looked at Adele with a little shyness and said, “I am going to get engaged to Damon.”Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
These light words were like a heavy hammer to Adele’s heart.
She was slightly startled, but her gaze quickly swept past the man beside Clara. She saw that his expression was normal, and there was a sense of coldness and alienation in him. He did not refute.
It seemed that what Clara said was true.
Adele forced out a smile, pulled the corners of his lips, and said softly, “Congratulations to you.”
When Clara heard this, her cheeks turned a little red and she looked even more charming. She smiled and said, “I’ll tell you this news first. Remember to keep it a secret.”
“Okay.” Adele smiled and pretended to be calm.
As she spoke, Damon looked up at her. Seeing that the woman did not change her expression and had a smile of blessing, she suddenly felt a little unhappy.
It seemed that she did not mind him getting engaged to someone else at all!
“By the way, Adele, did you come alone?” Clara asked with a smile.
“I came with a friend,”
Adele said. She looked up at the direction of the seat subconsciously. From this angle, she could see Owen by the window.
Clara followed her gaze and saw the man. There was a flash of surprise in his eyes. Soon, he deliberately raised his voice and said, “Is it President Song of Yunye Technology? I heard Dad mention him not long ago! I didn’t expect that he and Adele are good friends!”
Adele smiled and did not say anything.
Beside him, Damon’s eyes moved. His sharp eyes were covered with a layer of frost. When he looked up, he saw Owen by the window. In an instant, an uncontrollable anger rose from the bottom of his heart.
The last time he went to the hospital to see her, he thought that she had worked hard. He did not expect that she would go out on a date with Owen so quickly! Moreover, before they met, Adele said that she wanted to draw a clear line with him. She also said that she would not be restricted by the terms on the contract. It turned out that all of this resistance was to be with Owen!
A touch of irony flashed through Damon’s eyes and he looked away somewhat impatiently.
At this time, Clara looked at Adele’s ambiguous smile and said softly, “Adele, you and Mr. Baker are very compatible. I also wish you well.”
“Let’s go.”
Without waiting for Adele to reply, Damon had already opened his mouth, and his voice was a bit cold.
Hearing this, Clara seemed to suddenly react. He hurriedly waved at Adele with a smile, and then took Damon upstairs.
“Damon, Mom and Dad just arrived not long ago. There’s no hurry…”
Listening to them go upstairs, the sound was getting farther and farther away, and Adele’s tense body suddenly softened.
Recalling what Clara said just now, her heart was in a mess. She did not expect that Damon and Clara would develop so fast, and now they were going to be engaged…
Her heart was dull, and an indescribable feeling was stuck in her chest. She took a step and returned to her seat somewhat absent-mindedly.
Several dishes had already been served on the table. Owen was about to let Adele eat while it was hot. When he looked up and saw her face, he immediately noticed that something was wrong. “Adele, what happened to you?”
Adele came back to his senses and shook his head. He smiled at him symbolically and said softly, “It’s nothing. Maybe I’m too tired.”
Hearing this, Owen quickly said softly, “Then hurry up and eat. After eating, I’ll send you back to rest.”
These days, he had nothing to do and ran to the hospital to accompany her. He saw her pale and haggard appearance, and he was also distressed and worried.
Adele picked up the chopsticks, nodded, and began to eat.
Her appetite did not seem to be very good. She did not eat much from beginning to end. Owen was worried. On the way back, he saw her leaning against the window with her eyes closed. He thought that she was sleepy and did not ask much.
When the car reached the downstairs of the apartment, Adele pushed the door open and got out. Owen also got out of the car.
“Adele, are you okay?” “Is there something on your mind?” Owen walked to her side.
Adele went to the restaurant and left the restaurant in a completely different state. He was naturally worried.
“I’m fine at night. I’m really too tired. I’ll be fine after a nap at home,” Adele said softly.
Hearing this, Owen was worried and insisted on sending her to the door of the apartment. Adele said goodbye to him and entered the apartment. The moment the door closed, all her disguises were removed.
Her heart tightened, her nose ached, and tears flowed out uncontrollably.
She took a deep breath and walked to the sofa. Her body softened and she fell in.
The scene of Clara holding Damon’s arm and sweetly saying that they were going to get engaged flashed through her mind.
Why did she care so much about Damon? The pain in her heart was uncontrollable.
After an unknown period of time, her eyes were sour and bitter. She rolled up the blanket on the sofa and fell asleep unconsciously.
On the other side, in the suburban villa.
It was rare for Kobei to be in a good mood to tease Lightning and train her to say new words. However, Lightning tilted her head and her small eyes rolled around. Other than taking the opportunity to secretly peck at the bird food in his hand, she refused to open her golden mouth at all.
Xiaoman Lu stood at the side and couldn’t help but want to laugh.
“Nurse Lu, what’s going on?” Kobei raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at the woman.
Ever since she came here, he had been more and more confused about this parrot’s temperament. Sometimes, the old man wanted to go up to the sky, and sometimes, he was extremely obedient.
“Maybe it was in a bad mood today,” explained Xiaoman Lu with a smile.
Kobei sneered. He stretched out his index finger and pointed at Lightning’s furry little head. “You? Are you in a bad mood?”
With that, he scattered the bird food into the box, wiped his hands, and signaled Xiaoman Lu to push him out.
“Nurse Lu, I have a feeling that my baby parrot has been bought by you. If you don’t do it, I’m afraid that Lightning will run away with you.” Kobei said slowly.
“Mr. Yusuf is joking.” Xiaoman Lu chuckled.
Suddenly, the man’s big hand came over and directly covered the back of her hand pushing the car. “Nurse Lu, you will always be here before I recover, right?”
His words were like a stone thrown into the center of the lake, causing ripples.
Xiaoman Lu lowered her head and looked at the man’s big hand. Her heart beat wildly. She took a deep breath and quickly said, “Yes, I will always be…”
“That’s good.”
The man pulled his hand away at the right time, as if everything was normal and nothing was wrong.
When they reached the stairs, Roman came over and reported softly, “The car is ready.”
“Okay, let’s go.” Kobei nodded slightly.
Roman took the wheelchair from Xiaoman Lu and pushed Kobei down the smooth road next to the stairs, then pushed him into the car.
Xiaoman Lu followed him with the things she had prepared in advance.
Because the doctor said that soaking in the hot spring was helpful for the recovery of Kobei’s legs, they planned to go to River City’s Rongchang hot spring hotel to stay for a few days.
