    Chapter 92 To Defend Her Brother''s Romantic Rtionship


    When she saw Adeline''s face turning pale, Olivia quickly tried to smooth things over.


    "Oh, please don''t mind my words, Adeline... I was just kidding!"


    Curtis warned Olivia with a re.


    Olivia hurriedly smiled, "Fine, I get it! Adeline isn''t officially part of the family yet, so you should treat


    her well as a guest. But I''m already a part of the family, so there''s no need for you to treat me so


    formally, right?"


    Steffen was totally speechless.


    Steffen couldn''t believe it, Olivia waspletely clueless about the rtionship between Curtis and


    Adeline.


    As she spoke, Olivia raised the Japanese sake in her hand, "Come on, I suggest we each share


    something happy and raise a toast! I''ll go first... Well, here to celebrate the fact that I''m back!"


    Adeline raised her ss and lightly clinked it with Olivia''s.


    Curtis didn''t raise his ss and said in a calm tone, "Your return isn''t something to celebrate."


    Olivia pouted and coquettishly asked, "Uncle Curtis, you''re not happy that I''m back?"


    "Yeah, not really."


    Olivia was speechless with Curtis''s reply.


    Oh well, that was just how Curtis was.


    To cover up the awkwardness, Olivia asked Adeline to share something worth celebrating.


    Adeline raised her ss and looked at Curtis and Steffen, "Well, I got the notification that I secured


    the first ce in the city''spetition. The academic department also informed me of a raise, and


    I''ve been promoted to the head of thenguage research group."


    Curtis lifted his ss and proactively clinked it with Adeline''s, "Congrattions, Ms. Burton."


    Steffen also raised his ss, "Congrattions, Ma..."


    Curtis nced at Steffen.


    Steffen quickly corrected himself, "Ma... Marvelous!"


    Adeline breathed a sigh of relief.


    But throughout the whole process, Olivia remainedpletely oblivious to the others'' reactions.


    Steffen was speechless as he found out Olivia was exceptionally careless and insensitive.


    After the four finished their barbecue, they nned to head back.


    In the car, Olivia casually asked, "Adeline, where are you living now?"


    Adeline''s face froze, and she heard Curtis calmly answer.


    "She''s living with me now."


    Olivia was dumbfounded. She looked at Adeline sitting on her left, then at Curtis on the right.


    Steffen, who was driving ahead, was in total shock.


    Hahaha, this was getting interesting!


    Adeline gulped in anxiety and nervously clenched her small hand.


    After a while, Olivia went, "Oh, I get it now! It must be Uncle Curtis protecting you and making you


    stay with him for your safety! Oh, he''s being all protective of your well-being!"


    Saying that, Olivia turned her head towards Curtis, "Thanks, Uncle Curtis. When my brotheres


    back, I''ll make sure he properly thanks you!"


    Adeline was stunned.


    Curtis didn''t know how to respond.


    Steffen was speechless as well.


    Olivia couldn''t read Curtis''s expression either. So, she blinked her eyes at him and coquettishly


    said, "Uncle Curtis, I want to sleep with Adeline. Come on, just let me stay with you. I came back


    secretly this time, and my mom doesn''t know."


    "No, go stay in a hotel!" Curtis firmly refused.


    "Why not?" Olivia''s voice raised a bit, "Why can Adeline stay with you but I can''t? Technically, aren''t


    we even closer as rtives?"


    Olivia was known for speaking her mind without thinking.


    After blurting that out, she felt it might not have been the best thing to say and turned tofort


    Adeline.

    "Oh Adeline, please don''t overthink my words. I didn''t mean it that way. I meant, from a rtive''s


    standpoint, I should be closer to Uncle Curtis than you are, as you haven''t yet married my brother."


    Saying that, Olivia looked back at Curtis with a puzzled expression.


    Curtis remainedposed, "I''ll book a hotel for you, and Steffen can take you thereter."


    "I''m not going! Hotels are not asfortable as staying with family!"


    With that said, Olivia firmly held onto Adeline''s arm, "Anyway, I don''t care. Wherever Adeline goes,


    I''ll go! I''m not going to a hotel! Besides, this time I came back with a grand mission."


    Curtis''s brows furrowed, "What''s the reason for your return this time?"


    Olivia raised her chin, "Of course, I came back to defend my brother and Adeline''s rtionship!"


    "I want to personally expose the man who''s trying to snatch Adeline away when my brother isn''t


    around!"


    Steffen was dumbfounded.


    Oh boy, this was going to be entertaining!


    Curtis''s expression turned serious.
