He has lived for 27 years and has told many lies for various reasons, but why would it be so bad to lie to her alone?
Felix lowered his head and said calmly, "It has been dealt with. You don't need to worry."
Adeline, having heard this, felt relieved and continued to eat heartily, looking very cute.
"In a few days it will be your trial with your aunt. Are you scared?"
Adeline shook her head: "I'm not afraid. I believe in your ability to introduce people, and I'll be clear myself. I'm afraid of Zoe and her daughter."
Felix's productions curved into a doting smile: "Just ask if you need me. I'll be by your side."
Adeline's swallowing paused for a moment. She felt that such a plain sentence was worth all the sweet words in the world. Since the death of her parents, she had always felt all alone, surrounded by tigers and wolves, and had no friend to whom she wanted to say fear to.
This is the main reason why she accepted Piper after her betrayal, not because of how miserable she was, but because she was too lonely!
Her eyes welled up involuntarily, and she nodded gently: "Since you're speaking like that, I won't be polite about anything then."
"No need to be polite with your husband!" Adeline's heart gave a hard beat when their eyes met as he put the freshly cooked meat into her bowl.
The warmth came not only from this shop, from Aunt Mei, but from... He!
After they finished their meal, they went home hand in hand. Before they left, Aunt May insisted on giving her some local specialties, all of which she loved. She wanted to give her money, but she sent her away, saying she wanted to talk to Felix for a while.
"My Adeline is not the same as before. A child without parents has a lower and worse sense of security than an ordinary person. I don't ask you to give her wealth and honor. I only hope you give her enough love so that she can rely on you wholeheartedly and trust you, okay?"
Adeline stood far away, looking at the two people who were speaking. The street lamps stretched their shadows long, and the halo light shone on Felix, making him look even more beautiful and noble, as if he were a divine residence in the ninth heaven.
Most of the time it was Aunt May who was speaking, and she only saw his productions move at the end, and then the conversation ended, and Aunt May's eyes seemed to be red.
He walked towards her.
Adeline got anxious: "Tell me the truth, did you say something to annoy Aunt May?"
"How could that be?" He put his arm around her shoulder, lowered his head and gave her a kiss on the cheek: "She's just happy for you."
"Happy for what?" She glared.
"I'm glad you married a good man like me!"
"Nonsense, you tell me, what exactly did you say?" Adeline asked in a rare coquettish tone.
But after that, Felix remained tight-lipped. He didn't give a direct answer until he got home. When she asked him anxiously, he directly threw her onto the bed, took off her clothes, kissed her hard, and finally couldn't stop...
Adeline was woken up by an itch in the morning, and she opened her eyes to see Felix kissing her neck.
"Awake?" His voice was a bit lazy and hoarse, typical subwoofer, extremely sexy.
Adeline, with red ears, pushed him aside with her hand: "Don't touch me anymore. I'm tired!"
"Where are you tired? I'll help you ease up!" He said, and slipped his hand onto her bare waist, gently pressing it.
Adeline's alarm rang in her mind, and she immediately pulled his hand away. He had been so crazy last night that he had fainted from it. She was going to have a good rest today.
"Aren't you going to work?"
"What? Are you driving me away?" He squinted his eyes, looking extremely dangerous.
Adeline smiled nervously: "No, I was worried that you would be late for work."
"I'm the president, so what if I'm late!" The man replied with a domineering air, then took her in his arms, looking very attached: "Adeline, come with me to work."
"Huh?" Adeline was astonished: "No, I know nothing about business, and I'll only cause you trouble if I go."
"You don't have to understand. Just stay by my side!" He looked down at her, his early morning eyes incredibly soft, and there was an indescribable emotion in them.
Adeline's heart quivered: "You seem very..."
"Very something?" With a smile in his eyes, he gently scraped her little nose.
As if he liked her very much!
Adeline never had the courage to ask that. She knew exactly what position she was in the agreed-upon marriage, not to mention that he had once said that his interest in her was just that.
So, why bring shame upon yourself?
She pushed her away and sat up: "Come on, didn't I say I'd accompany you to work?"
Her voice was still gentle, but her posture carried a hint of estrangement. The man left his arms, and the empty cold air flowed, and Felix couldn't help frowning and feeling displeased.
He did not like her like this.
After breakfast Adeline got into Felix's car, and for some reason his face was gloomy, he didn't speak to her, and there was a coldness in the corners of his eyes and on his eyebrows.
Adeline felt uneasy that she had offended him unconsciously: "Or, I won't accompany you to the company."
Felix's expression was even more stern, looking at her coldly sideways: "Why?"
She was about to give the reason when her phone rang. It was a strange number.
"Hello, who is that?"
"It's me, Adeline. You blocked my phone number, so I have to find another phone to call you!" Zoey shouted as soon as she picked up the phone.
Adeline held the phone a little away from her ear: "Isn't it normal for me to block? What do you want to see me for? If there's nothing wrong, I'll hang up!"
"How dare you?" "Adeline, do you still want to win the lawsuit? If you do, meet me right now. I have something to tell you."
"I'll win the lawsuit, you don't need to worry about it, and we don't need to meet!"
"Who gave you the confidence? You signed the equity transfer document, yet you still brazen yourself by saying you want to win. Adeline, I really brought you good news this time. Regarding the matter of Canhua, aren't you interested either?" "
Adeline mused for a moment, though she was reluctant to agree in her heart, but this was an opportunity to leave Felix, otherwise she would be under too much pressure to face such a gloomy him all the time.
"All right, send the address to my phone and I'll be there later."
Adeline looked at Felix who was driving, and before she could speak, she heard him ask, "Where is the address?"
"What?" She was stunned.
"Didn't I have an appointment with someone? I'll go with you!"
No way! I was supposed to avoid him, but he still wanted to go with me.
"No, you're busy with work, it's me..."
"I don't want to repeat it a second time." He frowned and interrupted her, his voice calm and cold: "Where is the address?"
