Chapter 194 Old Mrs. Riley Saw Curtis''s Secret Touch On Adeline
Seeing that old Mrs. Riley hesitated, Curtis lightly chuckled and asked, "Mom, don''t you like someone like Adeline? Good-looking, obedient, and a
teacher."
Curtis subtly praised Adeline.
Adeline lowered her head slightly, feeling like she had been flirted with again
Old Mrs. Riley cast a disdainful nce at him and said, “With yourme leg and temperament, someone like Adeline wouldn''t be interested in you."
"Grandma," Adeline gently tugged at old Mrs. Riley''s arm, signaling her not to hurt Curtis''s pride too much
Old Mrs. Riley didn’t pay much attention to Adeline''s remark and continued as they walked, "Adeline, you don''t need to worry about Uncle Curtis. His
heart is wrapped in ayer of iron and it isn''t that fragile. Those few words won''t hurt him."
Though she said that, as soon as old Mrs. Riley sat down, she turned to the first friend who approached and asked, "Do you know any teachers? Is
there anyone at a marriageable age? Will they match up with my youngest son?”
Just as old Mrs. Riley finished speaking, she added thoughtfully, "It''s fine if they''re a bit older. My youngest son isn''t picky."
"Mom..." Curtis''s voice sounded a hint of displeasure.
Old Mrs. Riley gave him a sideways nce and continued, "With your qualities, what kind of person are you looking for? What''s wrong with someone
a bit older? They know how to take care of others.”
That friend hesitated at old Mrs. Riley''s words and cautiously inquired, "Well, there are some older candidates, but they''re around 38 years old. Of
course, they know how to take care of others. But... 38 years old... Will that...?"
Pfft!
Adeline almost spat out her tea.
She quickly grabbed a tissue from the table to suppress the urge tough.
Curtis''s expression turned extremely dark.
Old Mrs. Riley grumbled, "Just a bit older... But can’t be that much older.”
"All right. All right..." that friend responded, "I''ll find someone else for you.”
"Good," old Mrs. Riley nodded.
Her concern was her child''s marriage. She might say she wasn''t picky, but she couldn''t really be that nonchnt about it!
After all, choosing a spouse was a lifelongmitment
It couldn''t be taken lightly.
Adeline reached out to pick a walnut from the table, intending to offer it to old Mrs. Riley.
Just as her hand was about to reach the walnut, Curtis''s hand also extended
In front of old Mrs. Riley, Curtis secretly touched the back of Adeline’s hand.
Adeline reacted immediately. Her body trembled slightly. She quickly picked up a walnut and pulled her hand back.
Old Mrs. Riley''s heart skipped a beat and she furrowed her brow.
She had just noticed Curtis''s subtle move!
It already surprised her when he said that he liked someone like Adeline. How dare he touch Adeline in front of her?
"I''m sorry,” Curtis politely apologized to Adeline.
"It''s okay,” Adeline lowered her head and opened a walnut, offering it to old Mrs. Riley.
Curtis also happened to open a walnut and handed it to old Mrs. Riley.
Both of them were taken aback.

At the samétime, before the y
had evenstarted, another friend ?
approached and handed a photo to
old Mrs. Riley with a smile. She said,
"Thisis my niece. What do you think,
mata?”

Old Mrs. Riley took a nce at the
photo. The girl had a plump figure,
but herdacial features seemed
gentle-and friendly, and she .
appeared to be a cheerful young
woman.

She turned to Curtis and asked, "What do you think of this one?"
"Nothing special."
Old Mrs. Riley frowned and continued, "You didn''t even look at it.”
Curtis deliberately took a nce and said, “Too fat! Her legs are like an elephant''s! I prefer someone slender!"
He said that intentionally for Adeline to hear.
Adeline got what he was trying to say. She bit her lip and lowered her head
Old Mrs. Riley was worried that her friend might feel embarrassed and scolded Curtis, "What do you know? A bit of extra weight is good for
childbearing."
In just an instant, Adeline''s face turned pale
Curtis quickly retorted, "No need for childbearing. My genes aren''t anything special, no need to pass them on!"
"You...!" Old Mrs. Riley raised her hand and she was ready to smack Curtis.
That friend felt embarrassed. She quickly said a few words and excused herself.
Before old Mrs. Riley''s hand couldnd, a middle-aged man’s voice was heard.
"Well, isn''t this old Mrs. Riley?”
Adeline and Curtis turned their heads to look at him, and their expressions darkened to varying degrees.
It was Tristan!
His appearance here right couldn''t mean anything good!
