Chapter 7 Thank You Mrs. Riley, For Giving Me A Home
Chapter 7 Thank You Mrs. Riley, For Giving Me A Home
Owen was annoyed and amused at the same time by this coquettish operation.
On the contrary, Max yed with the empty bag in his hand. He raised his eyes, nced at him,
and directly asked, "Have you won the heart of your nephew''s fiancee?"
Both of them grew up together with Curtis. They had a very close rtionship, and they always
knew there was someone in his heart.
This person happened to be his nephew''s fiancee.
Usually when mentioning about this, Curtis would pull a long face.
But he was in a good mood today. He corrected, "She''s now my wife."
"You won her heart?" Max took a foxy look at the smug Curtis.
"Yes" Curtis responded without changing his face expression.
Owen opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff two eggs in it, ...
Max slightly narrowed his eyes, and asked again, "Have you applied for the marriage certificate?"
"Yes." Then, Curtis solemnly took two marriage certificates out from the inner pocket of his suit,
opened and ced them on the table.
Owen felt unbelievable. He wanted to reached out to pick up and have a look at it, but Curtis
pped it away before he could touch it.
Owen, ...
"Have you washed your hands? Don''t touch my marriage certificate with your dirty hands."
Curtis warned him and gave him a cold look, then extremely preciously picked up two pieces of
paper and showed one of them to both of them.
In just a few seconds, he carefully put the papers back into the inner pocket of his suit.
Owen, ...
"Is it necessary for you to treasure it this much?" Whileining, Owen even elbowed Max,
"Hey, Max, don''t you think this is too unreal?"
Max calmly took a puff of cigarette, "What''s unreal? That woman was originally despised by Curtis''s
second sister-inw, Victoria. She was also not favoured at home. It was not a decent inw''s
family. Maybe Victoria contributed to this matter."
"That''s right." Curtis raised his eyebrows and briefly exined the process.
Owen instantly widened his eyes, "You mean, Victoria bribed your opponent to drug you?"
Curtis slightly nodded.
"But aren''t you very resistant to those drugs? You could bear ice baths and bloodletting before. You
actually slept with her this time?" Owen spoke in a higher pitch.
Curtis made a mockery of himself and lifted the corners of his lips, "There''s no cure after I touch
her. Uncontroble......"
The women he met before were those he did not like. He felt disgusted, so he could naturally
control it.
But the self-control he was so proud of was defeated in just a moment in front of her.
Owen had never been in a rtionship before, and he did not understand these things, but he still
patted him on the shoulder with a tinge of emotion, and raised the wine ss in his hand to toast
him.
"Brother, I''m truly happy for you. I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life!
Unexpectedly, you''re the first to get married among three of us! Come on, brother, I wish you a
happy wedding!"
Max also raised his wine ss, "Congrattions for getting what you want."
"Thank you." Curtis hold a sip of red wine in mouth, the corners of his lips curled up in joy, and
solemnly said, "But there must be a gift. Today''s gift is that we got our marriage certificates. When
we hold the wedding ceremonyter, you guys have to give me a big gift."
Max, ...
Owen, ...
"No, you''re not having a shortage of money either! Is it necessary for you to request money from us
as your wedding gift?" Owen valued money. It hurt him a bit when he thought of preparing red
packets twice.
"It''s true that I''m not having a shortage of money, but I''m happy to receive it as a gift from you guys."
Curtis casually took off his sses, revealing a pair of aggressive long eyes.
He did not bother to pretend himself in front of his own brothers.
"Then how much should be packed?" Owen tentatively asked. After all, it could not be too much, or
too little. Who in the world knew his brother''s standard.
"Eight thousand eight hundred, nine thousand eight hundred." Thinking of Adeline''s expression on
receiving money as a gift, the corners of Curtis''s lips raised in joy again.
"That''s fine, I''ll pack 8,800 yuan. Max, you pack 9,800 yuan." Owen quickly asked his assistant to
bring cash over.
Max also say nothing else, and asked his assistant to prepare cash-filled red packet.
Owen handed over the red packet, and asked, "Well... does sister-inw know about your legs?"
"Have a guess?" Curtis took the red packet and said with a half-smile.
Steffen exined in a timely manner, "Mrs. Riley doesn''t know yet. Not only that, Mr. Riley is still
sickly, frequently coughing, losing power, and poor in front of Mrs. Riley. You guys have to
cooperate if meeting her outside in the future."
Owen widened his eyes again, and also spoke in a higher tone of voice.
"Brother, you''re ying with fire! Don''t you worry that sister-inw will get angry and divorce you if
she finds out?"
Then, Owen also knew that he was talking nonsense, so he quickly "Bah, bah, bah" three times.
Hearing the divorce, Curtis pulled a long face, and his voice became a little colder, "That won''t
happen!"
Max was the same as Curtis.
They must get what they wanted.
He sarcastically raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "This is impossible. It''s impossible for the
prey that falls into Curtis''s trap to escape."
Hearing this, Curtis''s expression softened a little, and he raised his wine ss towards him.
"You know me."
He would never let Adeline had the possibility to walk out of his own life.
--
On the other side, Adeline went to the Bay Hall. She found the facilities and greening of the
community were indeed very good. The environment was beautiful.
There was also a ramp specially for the disabled at themunity here, and the supporting
services were very perfect. It was estimated that Curtis chose here because of this.
Adeline only realised that Curtis bought arge apartment when she reached the 21st floor. It was a
self-contained unit, with no neighbours and with great privacy.
After opening the coded door, it was a floor-to-ceiling window, which she could see arge view of
the wide river.
The apartment was two hundred and twenty square meters, with a good sense of space, but the
design was rather cold.
In one afternoon, Adeline bought flowers and some sulents for embellishment. She even made
soup, waiting for Curtis toe back.
She also did not know if Curtis woulde back. Both of them had just got married. They had not
had time tomunicate, and she also did not have his contact details. She felt uneasy when
sitting on the sofa alone.
Fortunately, she did not wait for a long time. Curtis was then sent back by Steffen.
Curtis was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered into the apartment.
The original design, which grey was the dominant colour, suddenly had the vitality, because of the
woman in the living room, the pink roses on the table, several pots of tender green sulents and
colourful tablecloth.
Seeing Curtis''s surprised look, Adeline quickly carefully exined, "I think the house was a little
deserted so I bought some things to decorate it. I didn''t inform you in advance. Do you like it?"
Sensing Adeline''s slight expression, it hurt Curtis to the core. He pushed the wheelchair over, and
gently took her hand, "Mrs. Riley, I like it very much, thank you."
Adeline felt a little embarrassed when she was called "Mrs. Riley", and Curtis''s low-pitched voice
sounded in her ears again.
"Adeline, this house belongs to you, and you''re the hostess of this house, so you can do whatever
you want in the future. You can make your own decisions without asking for my opinions."
Adeline was startled, "Hostess?"
"Well, we''ve got married, what are you if you''re not the hostess?" Curtis half-jokingly said, "No,
you''re still the head of the household."
Adeline suddenly felt as if her heart had been soaked by a warm current. After quite a while, only
then the corners of her lips curled up and said, "Thank you."
Thanked him for giving her a home.
Thanked him for giving her the respect she deserved.
And these were something she had never had at home before.
Curtis also slightly curled the corners of his lips, "I should thank Mrs. Riley, for giving me a home."
Adeline was a little embarrassed by the "Mrs. Riley" again. She blushed, and blushed even more
when she saw Steffen who was still at the side.
"Steffen, have you eaten yet? How about......"
"I have eaten! I''ll leave after eating the documents! No... I''ll leave after taking the documents."
Steffen, who had been silently witnessing public disy of affection, was so scared that he quickly
answered her, almost biting his tongue.
With Curtis''s consent, he immediately went to the study to get the documents, then swiftly ran away.
Not kidding. How many lives he had to stay and eat as a third wheel?
Adeline felt that Steffen left in quite a hurry, as if someone wanted to hunt him down.
Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.
ncing at the dishes on the table, she looked at Curtis again and asked, "Then have you eaten?"
"Not yet."
"Then I''ll serve you rice."
"Okay."
Adeline turned back to the kitchen, came out with a te of steamed fish, and nced at Curtis,
"Curtis, let''s add WhatsApp so it''s more convenient for us to contact each other in the future."
As soon as the voice fell, Adeline''s phone on the table just sounded with a "Ding", and the screen lit
up.
Both of them subconsciously looked at it, and saw the WhatsApp notification from Logan.
Adeline''s hand holding the te suddenly trembled.
