Chapter 23 It Was Unbelievable! Mr. Riley Answered Logan's Video Call in a Bathrobe
Soon after, Logan regained his senses and said, "Uncle Curtis, are you home?"
Curtis didn't answer the question. He asked, "What's up?"
"I'm looking for Adeline."
"Why are you looking for Adeline?" Curtis's voice became more serious.
Logan was the younger generation in the family and he had always been afraid of the majesty of his Uncle Curtis. Hearing his cold voice, his heart skipped a beat. He even had the illusion that he was harassing his uncle's wife!
On second thought, he noticed that he was a grown-up and there was nothing wrong with him looking for his girlfriend. Then, he said shyly.
"Uncle Curtis, I miss Adeline. We found some very special cultural relics here today, and I want to share them with her."
When it comes to archeology, Logan's eyes brightened up.
"By the way, Uncle Curtis, where is Adeline? What is she doing? Why is her phone with you?"
"Adeline is taking a shower."
As soon as Curtis finished speaking, a woman's voice was heard from the other end of the phone.
"Logan! Come here quickly! I found something!"
Logan was overjoyed, and quickly told Curtis, "Uncle Curtis, that's it for now. I have to go."
After speaking, Logan quickly hung up the call and went to see the new discoveries with his junior.
Curtis stared at the pitch-black screen and smiled.
He thought to himself, "Such a silly boy."
"How could he has no response at all after seeing me answering Adeline's phone in a bathrobe?"
If they exchanged the situation, he would have flown over there in a helicopter immediately!
Curtis smiled lightly and was about to put down the phone. Then, he saw Adeline, who had just walked out of the bathroom, and looked at him.
"Who called just now?"
Curtis was startled suddenly. He quickly suppressed his teasing expression, revealing a somewhat lonely and weak appearance.
"Ahem..."
He coughed twice, looked at Adeline with a gloomy expression, and answered honestly, "It's Logan. He said he missed you."
Adeline's heart trembled slightly, and she was taken aback.
She couldn't tell what kind of feeling she was having.
It was awkward.
Curtis lowered his head and apologized, "I'm sorry. I shouldn't have answered your call without your permission. I... I just saw that it was Logan who called, and I was curious about what he wanted to tell you, so I couldn't help but answer it."
"Adeline, I'm sorry. I'm too unconfident. I always worry that when Logan comes back, you will regret marrying a handicapped, and you will divorce me."
Adeline felt bad. She walked over, gently picked up Curtis's hand, and said, "I won't. Since I'm married, I'm going to spend my whole life with you. Don't think too much. You're great. I mean it."
"Really?" Curtis made two fake coughs.
Adeline nodded.
Curtis took her hand and said very schemingly, "Logan was very excited. He said that there is a major archaeological discovery, and he wants to share it with you. However, a junior happened to call him over, saying that there was another discovery. Therefore, he hung up the phone. Adeline, if you really like archeology, I can learn it too. I can discuss it with you too."
"No. I don't like it!" Adeline changed her expression in a switch and looked slightly despised.
She never liked archeology.
But since Logan loved it, out of respect for her boyfriend, she was willing to listen to his sharing.
But it happened every time!
Whenever Logan called her, the junior would call him over for the new discovery, and he would immediately leave her for it.
Sometimes, it took several days for him to remember that he had called her earlier and returned her call.
Once she hinted to Logan that his junior was trying to get into their relationship, but Logan always smiled and said that she was jealous and didn't take it seriously.
Looking at Adeline's expression, the corners of Curtis's mouth twitched in joy.
After Adeline dried her hair, she helped Curtis onto the bed. Then, she took off her robe and lay down.
Curtis skillfully hugged her in his arms, put his chin on her shoulder, and said, "Why don't you wear those pajamas just now? Adeline, it looks nice on you."
Adeline pressed her face against Curtis's chest. She was too shy to look up. She hesitated and said, "It's wet."
Curtis bowed his head and kissed her cheek, "Then buy a few more. Use my card. Adeline, I want to take back what I have just said."
Adeline suddenly became a little nervous. She looked up and asked, "What's that?"
Curtis kissed her gently between her eyebrows and answered, "I want to take back those words when I said that you don't have to please me. Adeline..."
Adeline felt hot flashes on the side of her ears and heard Curtis hiss in a low voice.
"Like those skin-colored pajamas, I will always welcome them..."
Adeline's cheeks twitched instantly, realizing Curtis's next move, and immediately resisted him.
"No!"
Curtis paused and asked, "What's wrong?"
"You just coughed! Uncle Curtis, you are always not in good health. The night in the mansion and the wedding night... You can't keep doing these things continuously. You have to take good care of your body."
"It's okay. My body doesn't get in the way in this kind of matter." Curtis lowered his head and continued to kiss her.
Adeline couldn't take it anymore. She quickly grabbed Curtis's hand and said, "Uncle Curtis, didn't you say that you will respect me?"
Curtis stopped moving and looked at Adeline dumbfounded. He said, "Okay, I respect you."
After he finished speaking, he bit her lips.
"But you just called me Uncle Curtis. That's your punishment!"
After finishing speaking, he took her into his arms and said in a muffled voice with much unwillingness, "Let's sleep."
Holding her to sleep was already his biggest compromise. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
With the warm and soft body in his arms, Curtis felt that the previous 29 years had been wasted.
He was regretting not having her much earlier.
Moreover, since the moment she entered his world, she had always belonged to him!
......
The next day, when Adeline arrived at the office, some male colleagues made fun of her.
"Adeline, you're amazing. The number of votes you get on the Internet is unbeatable!"
"That's right, Adeline. That's such a piece of great news! You should treat us to a meal. Why don't you invite us to your new home for a meal? Anyway, everyone hasn't met your husband yet."
Adeline looked slightly embarrassed and didn't know whether or not Curtis would like so many people coming to the house. So, she politely declined the booing from her colleagues.
"Maybe later. The voting isn't over yet! It's still very early to say."
The two male colleagues who saw Adeline getting into the luxury car yesterday looked at each other meaningfully and said nothing.
Adeline happened to have class in the first period, so she went to the classroom early.
As soon as she left, a female colleague in the office called out.
"Hey, did you two really see her husband yesterday? Is he really in a wheelchair?"
The male colleague who had pursued Adeline before said while arranging the courseware on the table, "Don't you see how awkward she acted just now? If it wasn't something wrong with her husband, why didn't she let us meet him?"
"Seem like it too. Alas, why did such a beautiful woman get married to a disabled person?"
"For the money. I guess that man is in his 40s or 50s! She would rather marry a rich man, sit in a luxury car and serve an old man rather than choose us, who are getting such little pay as a teacher." The male colleague said jealously.
The female teacher who just asked the question pursed her lips.
To be honest, she was a teacher herself, and she wouldn't choose male teachers either.
After all, relying on the fixed salary of being a teacher, it would be almost impossible for them to buy a house in the city center.
Soon, Adeline finished her first Literature Class.
As soon as she left the classroom, Melissa ran over pantingly with her mobile phone.
"Adeline, look! Quick! Some people accuse you of rigging the votes!"
