Felix, in response to her counter-question, was unable to say what he had intended to say. Instead, he said indifferently, "Nothing. Remember to change your dressing yourself."
The engine of the car started and he left.
Adeline's mind was a bit confused. She thought for a long time but still had no idea where to apply the medicine. Suddenly, a scene flashed through her mind of him splitting her leg in the morning...
This big pervert!
Adeline gritted her teeth in her heart and went in in a huff. Manager Zhang smiled when she saw her and said, "The young lady is finally back. Didn't the master see you lose your temper last night?"
She was a little awkward: "Isn't it normal for him to lose his temper? What's so strange about it?"
Manager Zhang shook his head: "The young lady doesn't know. Master has always been reluctant to show his emotions, but he keeps making exceptions for you. It shows that he cares about you."
Adeline clutched her heart, which was beating fast again, a little flustered. She gave a low scolding and paid no more attention to Mr. Zhang's teasing, running upstairs.
She had never been in a real relationship and knew that she would be close to someone who was nice to her, so Frank proposed to her when he was nice to her, and she agreed, but what happened...
She had already fallen once in the hands of a man surnamed Andreas, and could not fall again in the hands of a second man surnamed Andreas!
Mrs. Felix's birthday party is coming soon, at the old House of Andreas.
It was a day of great celebration at the house, with a steady stream of Andreas’ people and a line of luxury cars. Adeline was amazed by the grandeur of the house, which looked like an ancient royal mansion, when two people blocked her way as she was about to enter.
Frank and his mother Wendy.
"Adeline, let's talk!" Frank looked serious.
"What else do we have to talk about? Anyway, it's certain to break off the engagement. Don't expect me to speak up for you in front of grandma."
She was about to leave after saying that, and Wendy quickly reached out her hand and grabbed her wrist, pleading with her eyes: "Adeline, after all, we are mother and daughter, you can't be so cruel. Anyway, can you break off the engagement when Frank is in the House of Andreas?"
Her words were earnest and gentle, but that was just the surface. Adeline had not forgotten how harsh her face was when she first went with Frank to see this future mother-in-law, and only changed her attitude towards her when she learned that she had a friendship with her grandmother.
She withdrew her hand and smiled, "I'm a daughter of a poor family. How dare I get close to your frank? Mrs. Andreas is just kidding."
Wendy, seeing her confront her with what they said when they first met, felt a bit embarrassed for a moment: "Adeline, we're a family. How could there be any fancy or fancy? Just speak up. How would you be willing to help us?"
"I have nothing to say, let's meet in front of grandma later."
Wendy got angry at her and raised her hand to hit someone, but Frank was sharp-eyed and stopped her at once. There's a lot of people here and it's not good for others to see.
He looked at her and said, "Adeline, do you remember the man who carried you out of the Hyatt hotel last time? If you don't want to make a big fuss, have a good talk with me!"
Adeline's heart sank, she fell silent for a moment and went with him.
When they came to a secluded corner, Frank came straight to the point: "You're with Felix?"
Adeline didn't expect him to say this and was almost scared to death. She was stunned for a while before coming to her senses: "What nonsense are you talking? The head of the House of Andreas is no one I can get to know casually."
"Whether or not, you have a wild man, I saw it with my own eyes in the hotel, Adeline, if you dare to bring me up to Piper in front of Mrs. Andreas, then I won't hold back and expose your misdeeds as well!"
Adeline instinctively held the bag tightly, smiled slowly for a long time, and said, "I have no misdeeds, and you don't want to threaten me with this."
After saying that, she quickly entered the mansion, fearing that he would do more pestering, anyway, when the time comes, deal with it!
The hall, which was as luxurious and resplendent as a palace, was bustling with people, all dressed in fine clothes. As Adeline pushed the door open, many people's eyes were fixed on her.
She was dressed in a wine-red fishtail dress, revealing a beautiful shoulder line, with her hair up and bright earrings, which made her already pretty face look even more exquisite.
"Oh my god, this is the daughter of the family, so pretty!"
"Yeah, I heard that the family is not doing well now. I thought she would look very haggard when she showed up, but I didn't expect her to be in such good condition."
"Oh, she has House of Andreas as her fiance, so she's naturally in good condition!"
Adeline's eyes turned a little cold upon hearing this. She gave the person a faint glance, but in the end, she was too lazy to react.
She looked to the center of the hall, where the birthday man, Mrs. Andreas, was surrounded in layers, surrounded by congratulatory people, and Wendy was there too, but she was on the periphery and the bride was in the room, so she didn't even have the right to come up and speak.
The servant bowed to her: "Miss Adeline, the old lady has been looking forward to you for a long time. Please come over!"
Adeline smiled faintly and followed the servant.
Everyone was envious. To be invited by Old Lady Andreas alone meant that this person held a significant place in her heart, and no one could be envious of him.
Wendy was so angry that her eyes turned red as she watched her walk past her and into the inner floor that she pinched her husband John and said, "Look, even that humble fellow can get in there. You're the head of a branch of House of Andreas after all. Why can't you come in?"
John, who was already depressed, was even more annoyed when she said this: "There are dozens of branches of House of Andreas, and many of them have developed better than ours and are favored by the old lady. What can I do? If it weren't for your good son, wouldn't we also be able to go up with the wives here, and blame me?"
"What do you mean by my son? It has nothing to do with you." Wendy was so angry that she pinched him again, and John quickly grabbed her hand: "All right, do this place, don't disgrace me!"
Wendy looked at the people around her, all rich and powerful, and of course she couldn't lose her dignity.
In the innermost position, Mrs. Andreas, dressed in a big red funeral robe, sat, her eyes welled up when she saw Adeline, and immediately reached out her hand to her: "Good boy, you've had a hard time these days. Such a big thing happened and you didn't come to see grandma, causing me to be so worried and scared!"
Adeline looked at the old woman's kind face and was also filled with emotion, her eyes brimmed with tears: "It's my fault for being useless and causing grandma to worry, but it's all over now. I'm fine now, you can rest assured."
The old lady looked at her and nodded with relief, then looked back and said, "Where is your fiance? Should he come to see Grandma too?"
Just as she was about to answer, Wendy's overjoyed voice came from behind: "Here it is."
The three men rushed over quickly, and John, with an excited expression, bowed deeply to Mrs. Andreas: "John from the Sixth family of Andreas pays his respects to the old lady, wishing you a long life and a house full of children and grandchildren!"
