Chapter 133 Adeline and Mr. Riley Were Flirting with Their Tugging Gaze
Adeline was dumbfounded. It made her feel that she had only just begun to truly know Curtis.
He was quite mischievous.
Yet kind of handsome!
Soon, the two of them arrived at Riley's mansion.
Before they even entered the living room, Curtis and Adeline could hear voices arguing.
It was Victoria and Olivia.
"Mom, I'm very disappointed in you."
"Olivia, we're family!"
"I'm going to tell Grandpa and Dad about this. If no one restrains you, Mom, you're going to get into big trouble!"
"I won't..."
As soon as Victoria stopped yelling, Curtis approached with his wheelchair.
Olivia's eyes turned red as she averted her face, and she muttered "Uncle Curtis."
"Hmm." Curtis responded lightly and said, "I heard your father was coming today to visit Grandpa. I came specially to have a chat with him and your grandpa."
As his voice trailed off, Victoria became nervous, hopping in place, while saying, "Curtis, what are you planning? I warn you, don't speak nonsense. Otherwise, I'll expose your fake marriage." This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.
Curtis raised his eyebrow and asked, "Oh? Victoria, why are you so nervous? Are you worried about what I might say to Frank? Are you implying that you sent your nephew to make advances on Adeline? Or perhaps you're concerned about your collaboration with outsiders yesterday, attempting to do something bad on Adeline?"
Victoria's expression became stiff, and her demeanor was quite uneasy.
Oliva, who was unaware of her mother's prior dealings with Alexander, looked at her in astonishment, and her expression showed deep disappointment.
Seeing that, Adeline pretended to be frightened, pressing her hand on Curtis's shoulder. Then, she softly said, "Don't... Our situation would be ruined if she tells Frank."
"Haha..." Curtis smirked, teasingly pinched Adeline's nose, and whispered in her ear, "Looks like you've learned some bad habits too."
Indeed, she had learned how to set a trap for Victoria.
Adeline gave him a playful glare and answered, "Aren't you the one who taught me that?"
The two of them bantered as if no one else was around, their gazes towards each other were so sweet.
Olivia was a bit puzzled. She touched the back of her head and thought to herself, "Why do these two seem to be flirting?"
"Cough, cough..." At that moment, old Mr. Riley slowly walked out, leaning on his dragon-headed cane. When he saw Victoria and Curtis, he rolled his eyes in secret.
"Dad..."
Victoria and Curtis exclaimed in unison.
Frank's headache intensified as he knew something was coming to him. Neither of these two was easy to handle.
Without responding, Frank looked towards Olivia and Adeline, a kind smile forming at the corners of his mouth. He said, "Olivia and Adeline are here. Come, quickly join me for tea."
Then, Frank turned and headed to the living room.
Olivia obediently stepped forward to pour a cup of tea for her grandfather.
A trace of contentment flashed in Curtis's eyes, he said, "The biggest contribution my sister-in-law has made to this family is probably raising a pair of well-behaved children."
Upon hearing that, Adeline blinked her eyes slightly.
She recalled Oliva's argument with Victoria over her affairs just now and thought about everything Olivia had done for her during those periods. She couldn't help but admire Curtis's character even more.
He scolded Olivia, yet he also gifted her an expensive camera, which showed his approval of Olivia's character.
Despite his fierce clash with Victoria, he could still differentiate between the two of them.
At that moment, Adeline looked at Curtis, who was engrossed in conversation with Frank and found him even more charming.
Of course, Curtis had no idea what was going through his wife's mind at that moment. After discussing a few unrelated topics, he suddenly mentioned Victoria's name.
"I've heard that Victoria is quite knowledgeable about financial lending and investments, is that right?"
"No, I'm not." Victoria immediately denied it.
"Oh? I've heard that you've been involved in..."
Before he could finish his sentence, Victoria stood up nervously and asked, "How's your relationship with Adeline recently? Do you have any plans for the wedding?"
