Chapter 81 The Annoyingly yfulness of Mr. Riley
In just a moment, Adeline''s cheeks turned crimson, too embarrassed to look up at Curtis.
"In that case, I want to sincerely apologize to you. The first time, I must have scared you, right? That
time was my fault."
Adeline pursed her lips and spoke softly, "No... no need to apologize, it''s not your fault."
"No, it''s my fault as your husband. I didn''t make you fall in love with that feeling during the following
two times too. I didn''t do well, and I need to continue to work on it."
Hearing that, Adeline''s cheeks burned even hotter, and she lowered her head as much as she
could.
She hurriedly reached out to cover Curtis''s mouth, "You don''t need to say anything."
Curtis moved her hand away, lightly pecking her blushing cheek, a pleased smile forming on his
lips.
"Mrs. Riley, please be rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I will take responsibility for healing
your psychological issues in the future."
Adeline was feeling extremely shy.
She was somewhat regretful about being so open with Curtis, but then again, not entirely regretful.
After their heartfelt conversation, Adeline felt that her understanding of Curtis had deepened, and
her fondness for him was continuously growing.
Especially the phrase "You don''t seem like someone who wouldn''t report the incident," struck her
mind like a blow!
Of course, Curtis had no idea what Adeline was thinking about. He then took out a specially made
keychain and gave it to her.
It was a palm-sized "shlight" that was easy to grip and could be hung on a keychain, making it
very convenient to carry around.
"Adelie, keep this for now. When we get back to the apartment, I''ll teach you some basic self-
defense techniques."
Adeline toyed with the "shlight" and asked, "Is this for me to use as a shlight?"
"No, it''s a specially made stun baton for your self-defense."
Hearing "stun baton," Adeline was startled, "But what if it identally electrocutes someone to
death?"
"No worries, I have your back!" Curtis''s voice was resolute and sounded more like a promise.
Adeline''s heart trembled, feeling once again enticed by Curtis''s words.
She yed with the "mini stun baton" in her hand and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Are you sure
this won''t kill someone?"

"I promise you, it won''t! It just gives a tingling sensation when the electric current passes through
the person''s body, making them unable to grab you, and it gives you time to escape," Curtis
exined.
"Oh, I see."
As soon as she finished speaking, Steffen knocked on the door and entered the room. Then, he
saw Adeline using the "specially made stun baton" to touch Curtis.
Zzzap! A strong electric current passed through half of Curtis''s body, and his expression changed.
But seeing Adeline''s curious and watchful eyes, Curtis suppressed the pain on his face and raised
his eyebrow. Then, he insisted.
"See, I didn''t lie to you. This stun baton won''t make people feel too ufortable."
"Oh, indeed," Adeline nodded.
Steffen pursed his lips and kept twitching, almostughing uncontrobly.
The way Mr. Riley wanted to shout out but didn''t dare to was so amusing.
If their buddies knew about it, they would definitelyugh their hearts out.
That specially-made stun baton could instantly knock out a 200-pound pig. Mr. Riley''s ability to hold
back from shouting was truly admirable!
Hahaha!
After having a goodugh to himself, Steffen came in to report, saying that the doctor wanted Mrs.
Riley to undergo a check-up.
Adeline followed the nurse to get the examination.
After the examination, they found no issues, and she was discharged from the hospital.
The next morning, it was Adeline''s turn to give a lecture on stage.
She performed very well.
She got the first ce in the written test and teaching practicals. Adeline only needed to get through
the afternoon interview to secure the top spot in the citypetition.
In the afternoon, Adeline confidently walked onto the stage. Underneath, as a special guest, Curtis
waved to her.
However, that scene caught the attention of Reba, who was watching the surveince. Her face
turned sour and dark.
During thepetition, the judging panel asked Adeline several questions, and she answered all of
them fluently.
But when it came to thest question, one of the judges looked at the information in his hand and
raised his doubts.
"Ms. Burton, your performance in your field has been outstanding. By all rights, you should have
secured first ce in thepetition. However, ourpetitionmittee has also received an
anonymous report about you."
