Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Just as Adele was staring at the man in a daze, he raised his head and their eyes met.

Adele was about to look away, but the man curled his lips and smiled at her.

A pair of purely smiling eyes that seemed to be able to be seen through to the bottom, making people unable to refuse.

The corners of Adele’s lips twitched, and she politely returned a smile. She then turned around and looked at the pen, feeling a little disappointed.

Since it had already been sold, she had no other choice but to choose other things.

After walking around the store, Adele did not find anything more suitable. She was about to leave when she suddenly heard a voice coming from behind her, “Miss, please wait.”

She turned around and saw the man approaching her in his electric wheelchair.

“What’s the matter?” Adele asked softly.

The man in the wheelchair smiled. “I just heard from the boss that you also took a fancy to this pen?”

Adele looked down and saw the iron-gray pen in his hand. Her eyes lit up. “Yes, but since you’ve bought it, then forget it.”

“If you really like it, you can take it.” The man in the wheelchair curled his lips and his eyes shone brightly. “I haven’t paid yet.”

“Are you true?” Adele asked excitedly.

The man nodded. “A gentleman doesn’t take the love of others.”

“Thank you!”

Adele took the pen from him and thanked him several times before going to the counter excitedly to settle the bill.

When the gift was wrapped up, Adele turned around and found that the man was no longer there.

No matter what, it was a good thing that she could buy a satisfactory gift for her father!

She left the antique shop in high spirits, but she did not find that in the coffee shop not far away, the man in the wheelchair was sitting by the window and staring at her.

At this moment, the man’s face and eyes were only indifferent.

“Is she the woman who married Damon?” he asked after a long while.

“Yes, it’s her, Adele Wes.” The man standing next to him nodded.

It had been quite late when she returned to the villa from the mall. Adele hurried back to the bedroom and wrote a handwritten letter of blessing to Professor Wes. She packed the gift and planned to go out.

“Mary, I will eat outside tonight. You don’t need to cook my meal.”

“Are you eating outside? Why aren’t you eating at home?” Mary asked as she walked out of the kitchen and wiped her hands with an apron.

“Today is my father’s birthday. We have an appointment to have dinner together.” Adele smiled at her.

“Will Young Master go with you?” Mary asked hurriedly.

This question made Adele silent. She paused for a moment and then said softly, “He should not have time. I can go alone.”

When Mary heard this, she wanted to say something but stopped. In the end, she did not say anything.

Adele went out with the gift and headed to the hotel address that Ms. Henderson had sent her.

Not long after she had left, Damon returned. As soon as he entered the villa, he went directly to the study on the second floor. When he reached the stairs, he inexplicably felt that the house was quieter than usual.

Was she… not at home?

When he had already reached the door of the study, he paused and turned to the bedroom next door. Sure enough, the room was empty and the lights were turned off.

The scene of Adele in the company flashed through his mind. He frowned slightly and went downstairs to ask Mary, “Is Adele not at home?”

“Young Madam went out not long ago. She said that she would go to her father’s birthday party.”

“Birthday party?” Damon frowned.

Could it be that today was Professor Wes’ birthday?

Mary, who was standing at the side, saw Damon’s expression and continued, “Young Master, logically speaking, you should be there to celebrate his birthday too. Just now, I saw Young Mistress going out alone, and she seemed quite disappointed. I asked her why she didn’t tell you. She said that she was afraid of affecting your work…”

These few words caused Damon’s heart to sink, and for a moment, he felt a little guilty.

He had indeed been busy, but he was not so busy that he did not have the time to celebrate Professor Wes’ birthday.

“Young Master, I think Young Madam is quite fond of you. She knew that she made you unhappy yesterday, so she specially learned to make pork ribs soup from me. This morning, she cooked the soup for several hours…”

Mary’s words made Damon’s heart sink a little.

Today, she had gone to look for him. It seemed that she had something to say, but when someone knocked on the door, he let her leave directly.

It seemed that it was not that she did not want to tell him, but that he did not give her the chance.

Feeling guilty, Damon stepped out and called Ben as he walked, “Check where Adele went. The sooner the better!”

No matter what, Adele was his wife now, not to mention that Professor Wes was his mentor. He had to be there too.

After receiving the address from Ben, Damon immediately drove to Breeze Square.

At Breeze Square.

Adele followed the waiter to the door of the private room. Before she could open the door and enter, she heard Ms. Henderson’s voice coming from inside.

“Our daughter has grown up and married such a good man. All my sisters are envious of me! They said that my lucky days have finally come.”

“You can’t say that. Our family doesn’t rely on our daughter. As long as she is happy, everything will be fine.”

“…”

Listening to the conversation coming from inside, Adele felt a little sour. She knew very well that although Ms. Henderson sometimes had a straightforward temper, in the end, she still loved her. But now, she could only come alone to celebrate her father’s birthday.

Taking a deep breath, Adele gritted her teeth. She pushed open the door of the private room and walked in. She saw the two people sitting at the table and smiled at them. “Dad, Mom, I’m here.”

Ms. Henderson quickly stood up and beckoned her to sit down. Then she kept looking behind her. “Where is Damon? Where is he? Where are his parents?”

“They…”

Adele unconsciously clenched her fists, not knowing how to answer Ms. Henderson’s questions.

Seeing that Adele was silent, Ms. Henderson quickly asked, “Is he behind you? Let me go over to welcome him. You silly girl, why are you so insensible? You actually left him behind and came over yourself…”

Watching Ms. Henderson walk out, Adele hurriedly reached out and pulled her. “Mom, Damon is too busy with work, so he can not come.”

Ms. Henderson noticed that Adele’s expression was not right and was about to ask clearly, and at this moment, footsteps suddenly came from the door.

“Dad, Mom, I’m sorry, I’m late.”

When Adele heard the familiar voice, she thought she was hallucinating. When she turned around, she saw Damon standing at the door.Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.

Adele’s heart sank. She was shocked and surprised.

Why was he here?
