Chapter 71 Jealous?
Seeing the woman’s reaction, Damon was stunned. It seemed that there was something wrong with her since he met her in the restaurant at noon.
He stretched out his hand to pull the quilt, but Adele had wrapped herself tightly and he could not pull it at all.
“Adele?”
He called her a few times, but she did not respond.
Damon had no choice but to stand up. He reached out his hand and directly picked up the quilt with the woman.
Adele panicked and quickly pulled the quilt away. “You… put me down!”
She originally did not want to see him and thought that he would leave when she ignored him. But she did not expect him to do this!
When Damon heard this, he refused to let go and hugged her like that.
It was unknown whether she was angry or anxious, but Adele’s face was red, “Put me down!”
Seeing her anxious appearance, Damon slightly raised his brows, opening his mouth to ask, “What are you doing?”
Adele’s face flushed red, “I… I am just tired!”
When Damon heard this, he directly placed her on the bed, but he quickly pressed down on the quilt to prevent her from using the previous move again.
He leaned over and asked softly, “How did you fall into the pool?”
She was an adult, so she would not fall into the pool for no reason. She shouldn’t have been drunk to that extent. He felt that there was something fishy about this matter.
Peter had already confirmed the operation time. At this critical juncture, he had to ensure that she was absolutely safe. She could not get sick or get injured.
Adele bit her lips and said softly, “I… I was dizzy. I went out for a walk and walked beside the pool. I felt like someone pushed me and I fell in…”
Hearing the woman’s description, Damon’s face sank. “You mean someone pushed you?”
Adele murmured, “Yes… I think so.”
She thought so?
Hearing the woman’s ambiguous answer, Damon couldn’t help but frown.
How much did she drink? She couldn’t even remember this clearly?
Looking at Adele’s little face in the quilt, Damon was inexplicably angry. He reached out his hand and pinched her cheek mercilessly. He deliberately said in a low voice, “Who let you drink so much wine?”
Her cheek was pinched by him neither lightly nor heavily. Adele’s nose was sore from the pain, and her eyes were covered with a layer of mist.
She pulled the quilt angrily and tried to cover her head with the quilt again, but the quilt was pressed by Damon, and she could not pull it at all.
“I am your husband. If I don’t care about you, who will care about you?” Damon frowned.
Adele snorted angrily and looked away.
Looking at her, Damon was puzzled. Why was she, who was usually as obedient as a little white rabbit, covered in thorns today as if she was deliberately going against him?
But even so, such a woman was actually quite cute.
After a pause, he calmed down and asked in a soft voice, “Did I provoke you?”
“Yes, it’s you!” Adele was so angry that she became a pufferfish.
“How did I offend you?” Damon looked at her and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
“You…”
Adele opened her mouth to say something, but she suddenly stopped. She reached out and pushed him. “You’d better accompany another woman. Don’t worry about me!”
Damon was stunned and tried to figure out the meaning of her words.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
“Another woman? When did he spend time with other women?”
His mind suddenly flashed with the lunch he had with Isabella at the restaurant that afternoon.
Could it be that Adele had seen it?
Damon raised his eyes to look at the woman who had turned her head to the side. His gaze fell on her small red ears, and he instantly understood.
So that was how it was…
He reached out and held Adele’s shoulder, directly turning her to his side.
He and Isabella were talking about business. They did not have much contact in private, and it was just a coincidence that they had met at the entrance of the restaurant.
“Are you jealous?” he asked, raising his eyebrows.
When Adele heard this, the redness on her face that had just disappeared swept back again. “Who… is jealous? No!”
A faint smile appeared in Damon’s eyes. He stretched out his hand and directly pulled away the quilt that Adele was wrapped in. He pulled her arm and pulled her in front of him directly.
Controlling her hands, Damon raised his hand and pinched her chin, forcing her to look at him in the eye.
He lowered his voice and asked in a magnetic voice, “No?”
Adele looked at the man’s deep eyes and felt her heart sink uncontrollably.
She bit her lips and denied stubbornly, “No…”
At most, it was because she had felt uncomfortable as a wife.
Looking at the woman’s bright eyes, Damon lowered his voice and said with a bit of deterrence, “Whether you are or not, from now on, you have to take care of yourself.”
Hearing the man’s words, Adele’s heart trembled. She straightened up and broke free of his hand. After a short pause, she asked, “Why?”
“Because your body does not belong to you alone,” Damon said without hesitation.
Only when she was fine could Clara’s operation continue, and everything could be carried out in order…
“If it is not mine, who is it?” Adele blinked and continued to ask.
Damon paused, a trace of indistinct panic flashing through his eyes. He had not thought of how to tell her about that matter yet.
Looking at the woman’s questioning gaze, he actually did not know how to face her.
However, it just so happened that Adele had taken advantage of the alcohol and become a lot braver. She reached out and gently grabbed his clothes, insisting on asking the answer, “Whose is it?”
Damon looked up and met the woman’s watery eyes. His heart stopped, and a ball of fire burned quickly.
He suppressed the rising desire and looked away. “Let’s talk about it another day,” he said in a hoarse voice.
At least at this moment, it was not a good time to tell her the truth.
However, after drinking the wine, Adele was exceptionally stubborn and refused to give in no matter what. She pulled on his clothes, unwilling to let go.
Unexpectedly, with such a tug, the buttons on his collar were pulled open, and the clothes were pulled diagonally away, revealing the man’s strong pectoral muscles.
Damon lowered his head and glanced at it, his eyes darkening.
Adele reacted, a little panicked, and quickly released her hand, “I didn’t mean to…”
Before she could finish her sentence, the man pulled her into his arms. Then, her lips were tightly blocked by a soft touch.
A moment later, he gasped in her ear. “If you have anything to say, let’s talk about it another day…”
…..
The next day, the sun shone through the gap in the curtains into the room.
Damon woke up and glanced at the woman who was still sleeping beside him. He quietly got up and got out of bed.
He took a look at the time. It was still early, but he had to leave now. Otherwise, if others saw him go out of Adele’s room, there would be all kinds of rumors and gossip.
After leaving a note for her, Damon left the room and returned to his room.
Breakfast was delivered. Damon took a sip of coffee. Soon, Ben knocked on the door and came in.
“Mr. Yusuf, are you looking for me?”
“Have you had breakfast?” Damon asked indifferently.
Ben hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully, “Not yet…”
“I also ordered a serving for you. Let’s eat together.” Damon raised his chin and gestured for him to sit across from him.
“Alright,” Ben said with a smile.
A moment later, he looked up at Ben. “How is the matter that I asked you to investigate yesterday?”
“Yesterday, I went to the pool to take a look and found that it was a surveillance blind spot.”
“There were no surveillance cameras?” Damon looked up.
“No, I checked the nearby surveillance cameras, but I didn’t find anything unusual.”
Hearing Ben say so much, Damon’s face became more and more gloomy.
Yesterday, Adele told him that she felt someone push her from behind.
She shouldn’t have been completely unconscious.
Besides, it happened in a surveillance blind spot, so he had to think more about it.
“Mr. Yusuf, is there something wrong?” Ben could not help but ask when he saw that Damon did not speak for a while.
“Go and call Sherry over. I want to see her.” Damon lowered his eyes.
If someone had really done something bad to Adele and delayed the scheduled operation, he would definitely not let it go easily!
