Chapter 61 How Could He Bear To Do It?
She was almost done crying. She wiped her tears, and then there was a knock on the door.
“Open the door and get your clothes.”
Adele opened the door and saw Kevin handing over a small dress. “This is a dress prepared by the organizer. It is clean. Check on the size.”
Adele took a look at the size. She could wear it.
She took it and looked at Kevin again. She felt that he was not so displeasing anymore.
“Thank you, Kevin.”
Hearing this, Kevin raised his eyebrows. “Is there a need to be so polite between us?”
Adele was surprised. Were they familiar?
At this time, she was not in the mood to delve deeper into his words. She casually closed the door, locked it, and then began to change her clothes.
This small white dress was the most ordinary and concise style. It was suitable for her to wear. Although it was low-key, it was much better than going out in dirty clothes.
She folded her dress and put it in a bag before pushing open the door and coming out.
At the door, Kevin was leaning lazily against the wall. Seeing Adele come out, a smile appeared on his face.
Adele took a deep breath and couldn’t help but want to thank him again. “Mr. Harry…”
Hearing this, Kevin frowned and interrupted her with some dissatisfaction. “Didn’t you just call me by my name? Why did you change it so quickly?”
Adele’s lips moved, not knowing how to answer.
“From now on, call me by my name. Let’s go. It’s boring here. I’ll take you to dinner,” Kevin said with a chuckle.
“I’d better go home,” Adele said softly, taking a deep breath.
“Adele, do you have the heart to refuse me a second time?” Kevin raised his eyebrows and joked.
Looking back at his love history, he had never been rejected by a woman more than two times.
“I’m sorry, but I’m already married,” said Adele, enunciating each word.
In other words, she was a married woman who did not accept being teased.
“But your husband is also not very competent. Seeing you being bullied, he was still indifferent.”
“You… you know?” Adele’s body stiffened. She looked up at him in disbelief.
“As long as I am interested, what can you hide from me?” Kevin paused, “When I first learned about your relationship with Damon, I was quite surprised.”
Hearing the word “Damon” from his mouth, Adele became even more nervous.
Unexpectedly, their relationship had actually been found out by others.
“You can’t tell anyone about this,” Adele said seriously, her breathing becoming a little hurried.
“Why not? Isn’t there something to be ashamed of?” Kevin said deliberately, the corners of his lips curling up.
“No matter what, you can’t!” Adele was a little anxious.
“Then you have to agree to a request of mine,” Kevin said.
“What is it?” Adele said, taking a deep breath.
“Have a meal with me. Not today, but someday, and you can’t go back on your word. Otherwise…” He deliberately dragged out his voice.
“Okay, I promise you!” Adele’s brain heated up.
At this time, what she was most afraid of was that Kevin would spread her relationship with Damon everywhere. If so, she would cause big trouble for Damon.
Seeing her promise, Kevin raised his eyebrows. “Then it’s a deal.”
Adele nodded and replied, “Okay.”
At this time, she could only let him do as he pleased.
After sending Kevin away, Adele returned to the exhibition area. The atmosphere was warm and everyone was gathering at the innermost jewelry exhibition area.
Beside the huge display cabinet, there was a gemstone sculpture. Everyone would go there to take a photo as the last segment of the event.
Adele stood at the side and watched the group of people go over there. A trace of loneliness flashed through her heart.
She should probably leave.
She turned around and saw a group of people walking toward her.
Damon stood at the front. Beside him was the organizer and on the other side was the spokesperson for the jewelry star, Isabella Sutton.
Isabella and Damon walked side by side. After a few steps, he suddenly smiled and whispered something into Damon’s ear. When Damon heard this, his lips curled up.
Seeing the two of them chatting and laughing, Adele unconsciously tightened her grip on her clothes and her heart ached.
Seeing that they were about to walk over, she took a step back and made way for them.
Suddenly, Damon seemed to sense something and suddenly turned to look in her direction.
As he looked at her, her body suddenly tensed up, but who knew why Damon only glanced at her indifferently? Without pausing for half a second, he moved his gaze away.
Watching them walk past her, Adele’s tense body relaxed a little. Staring at his back, she bit her lips, feeling a myriad of emotions in her heart.
He looked at her as if he was looking at a stranger he had never met, not even pausing for a second.
For some reason, when she thought of his eyes, Adele could not help but feel disappointed.
She sniffed and walked out of the venue. Unexpectedly, it was actually raining outside.
The luxurious and spectacular entrance had become a little cold now. Adele took a deep breath and watched some people who had left get into their cars and leave, while she stood alone at the door.
She picked up her phone to call a taxi, but there were dozens of people queuing in front of her. It would probably be a long time before it was her turn.
Adele looked at the heavy rain outside. Just when she did not know what to do, a staff member next to her suddenly came over. “Miss, take an umbrella.”All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.
Adele looked at the white transparent umbrella in front of her and her heart warmed. She reached out and accepted it. “Thank you.”
Holding up the umbrella, Adele went down the stairs. The wind was very strong. She had not walked far when her body was wet by the rain. However, she could not care so much. She just wanted to hail a taxi by the road.
After waiting for a long time, Adele’s body was almost completely wet.
Not far away, at the exit of the underground garage, a car slowly drove forward.
Ben sat in the driver’s seat and saw a familiar figure. He quickly turned around and said, “Mr. Yusuf, Madam is over there.”
Looking in the direction Ben was pointing, he saw the hazy and thin figure outside the window in the rain. Damon frowned slightly, paused for two seconds, and then turned back.
“Go on.”
“Aren’t you going back with Madam?” Ben couldn’t help but ask.
Damon looked up at him and said in a colder tone, “Go on.”
Ben immediately said nothing more. He stepped on the accelerator and concentrated on driving.
Watching the car drive to the main road and getting farther and farther away from Platform of Stars, Damon felt a burst of frustration. He casually threw the tablet aside, and the images of Adele and Kevin leaving flashed through his mind.
He was unhappy, and this feeling was indescribable.
But now, when he thought of her waiting for a taxi in the rain, he couldn’t bear it anymore.
After a moment of silence, Damon suddenly ordered in a low voice, “Turn around!”
How could he leave her there alone!
