Chapter 33 Only in Name
When she heard the word “wife”, Adele was stunned at first, but then she felt that it was a little funny.
She was indeed Damon’s wife, but this was only in name. As for who exactly was that Clara, and what kind of existence she was, she had no idea from the beginning.
Thinking of this, Adele felt even more stifled in her heart, and coupled with the fact that she had just woken up, she suddenly became bold.
She looked away and muttered, “But only in name…”
Damon was sitting by the bed. Although the woman’s voice was not loud, he could still hear her clearly. He frowned and tightened his grip on her hand. “Who said it was only in name?”
They had done everything that a couple should do, so how could it be considered only in name?Content bel0ngs to Nôvel(D)r/a/ma.Org.
“I said it,” Adele said in a huff.
She still did not have the courage to look into the man’s eyes. Suddenly, her chin tightened. She was pinched and turned to the side, just in time to meet the man’s perfect and impeccable handsome face.
Although Adele usually had the opportunity to get close to Damon, this was the first time that the two of them were so close to each other. Moreover, they were in a clear state of mind. For a moment, she was a little flustered, and her heart beat faster uncontrollably.
“You…”
“We have done what we should do. How can we not be considered a husband and wife?” Damon’s thin lips parted slightly.
Adele’s heart suddenly sank, and her face flushed red in an instant. Her mind unconsciously flashed back to what had happened in the suite in River City International.
It seemed… that was indeed the case.
Adele bit her lips and was unable to refute. Her face was not only red from embarrassment but also from anger. She pushed Damon’s hand away in a panic and said angrily, “I won’t go back, I won’t go back today!”
Before she finished speaking, Damon suddenly stood up. Adele felt that her front was covered by a shadow. She turned around and looked. She did not expect the man to bend over and lean over.
Before she could react, the man had directly picked her up by the waist and turned around without any effort.
She was about to struggle, but Damon seemed to have predicted her move. He suddenly leaned close to her ear and whispered, “If you don’t want to go back with me, I will stay here tonight. My father-in-law and mother-in-law should not mind me staying here. Although your bed is small, it will make do.”
Adele was stunned for a moment, and in the next second, she felt so ashamed that she could not even lift her face.
How could he say such a thing!
Damon hugged her, but he was not in a hurry. He lowered his head and asked, “So, do you want to come with me?”
Now that things had come to this, Adele had no choice but to agree even if she didn’t want to agree. Moreover, she and Damon had already registered their marriage. If he wanted to stay overnight, Ms. Henderson would definitely let them stay in the same room.
Wasn’t she getting herself in a trap?
Damon lowered his head patiently and continued to ask, “Huh? Do you want to go back with me?”
Adele almost gritted her teeth and spat out her answer, “Okay…”
Right now, she had no other choice at all.
“Okay.” Damon smiled with satisfaction and walked out.
After leaving the bedroom, Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes were waiting in the bedroom. They were obviously very curious about their movements.
Damon hugged Adele and did not let go. He looked at them and said, “Dad, Mom, it was my fault today. I made Adele angry. Now that we have talked it over, I will take her home now. You don’t have to worry.”
“Good, good, good!” Ms. Henderson immediately stood up and walked over. She glanced at Adele, who was being held in his arms, and could not hide the smile on her face. “Adele, you should also be magnanimous. You have to know your current identity, understand?”
Adele buried her face in Damon’s chest, afraid that Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes would see her red face, so she simply let out an “En”.
Ms. Henderson was about to say a few more words, but she was stopped by Professor Wes. She looked at Damon and Adele and said softly, “Alright, you can leave. It will be inconvenient if it is too late.”
“Alright, then we’ll be leaving first.”
After Damon finished speaking, he carried Adele out of the room. Ms. Henderson sent them to the door before reluctantly returning to the room.
After going down a few flights of stairs, Adele hurriedly said, “Since we’re already out, can you put me down?”.
“You’re not wearing your shoes. Are you sure you want me to put you down?” Damon asked with a chuckle.
After being reminded by him, Adele finally realized. She had been carried off the bed by him and didn’t even have time to put on her shoes.
“Then I… I can’t always be hugged like this by you!”
“Why not? Now that you’re injured, it’s best if you don’t wear shoes. “Damon strode forward.
Adele couldn’t respond and could only remain silent.
Damon carried her through the neighborhood. Just as they walked to the side of the car, Ben had already taken the initiative to get out of the car and opened the door for them.
He carefully placed Adele in the back seat, then followed her into the car and instructed Ben to drive.
The car drove to the main road, and the interior of the car suddenly quieted down. The atmosphere was inexplicably awkward.
Damon turned to look at the woman beside him and took the initiative to break the silence. “Are you still angry with me?”
Today in the office, what he said was indeed a bit ruthless, but he did not expect that she would be angry for so long, nor did he expect that she was so angry that she went straight back to her mother’s home.
Seeing that she did not reply for a long time, Damon continued, “Adele, do you know that not everyone is as kind as you, and not everyone will know how to repay kindness?”
“If we do not teach people like Michelle and Sam a lesson this time, I am afraid that they will continue to bully people next time.”
Hearing him say this, the unhappiness in Adele’s heart dissipated a little. She moved her body and whispered, “I just think that doing this will implicate many innocent people.”
After a moment of silence, Damon suddenly turned his head and looked at her seriously. “Do you really want to give them a chance?”
Adele took a deep breath and nodded.
She also did not want to force people to a dead end.
Seeing the firm light flashing in the woman’s eyes, Damon said softly, “Okay, then I will give them this opportunity.”
Sometimes, compared to lecturing, reality would give people a deeper lesson. As for Adele, what she lacked was the tempering of reality.
“Really?” Adele was a little surprised.
“Yes, I’ll listen to you this time,” Damon said lightly.
Seeing him agree, her mood immediately improved a little.
After a while, the car stopped in front of the villa. Damon carried Adele out of the car and walked to the gate when Mary greeted him.
Seeing Damon holding Adele in his arms, she was surprised.
Damon raised his eyebrows and said softly, “I kidnapped her back when she went back to her mother’s home.”
When he said this, Adele blushed again. She took a deep breath and turned her head shyly.
Mary looked at the couple and couldn’t help but secretly laugh. She didn’t reply and left quickly.
Damon carried Adele back to the bedroom, put her on the bed, and reminded her softly, “Sleep early tonight. We have business tomorrow.”
After hearing what he said, Adele suddenly remembered.
Tomorrow was Saturday, the day when she promised Damon that she would go back to the old house to see Grandma!
