Chapter 78 Principles
Adele moved her lips. There were too many things she wanted to talk to Emily about, but on the phone, these things could not be explained.
In the end, all the words turned into a question, “Emily, tell me, if you get married and find out that your husband has a woman behind your back, what will you do?”
“Divorce!” Emily said without hesitation, “Adele, have you forgotten what we said before? You must marry the man you love and who loves you too! You must have zero tolerance for extramarital affairs!”
“I haven’t forgotten it…” Adele felt a little bitter.
She hadn’t been able to stick to her first principal, and now she didn’t know if she could stick to the second one.
“Why did you suddenly ask me this? Could it be that you… ”
Adele panicked and immediately explained, “No! I just heard my colleague talk about her experience and felt a little emotional…”
Hearing her say this, Emily finally breathed a sigh of relief. “I was scared to death. I thought you were talking about yourself! In short, I still insist on what I thought at that time. I will not waver for the rest of my life!”
Hearing the woman’s words, Adele was a bit sure in her heart. “Yes, me too.”
She had married Damon in such a hurry that she had not considered the question of love carefully enough. Later, she wanted to live a good life with him. But now it seemed that he had something to hide from her. Maybe there was another woman!
She could not accept this. This was her principle in marriage!
“Alright, Emily, I got it. You go ahead and do your work. Call me when you come back,” Adele said.
After hanging up the phone, Adele took a deep breath and made up her mind.
It seemed that she had to find time to have a good talk with Damon.
…
It was night. The sky outside was gloomy and it was drizzling. The air was wet and chilly. Adele sat on the sofa and looked at the clock on the wall.
It was past nine o’clock. At this time, Damon should be back.
Not long after, the sound of a car came from outside the courtyard. Soon, the door was pushed open and a tall figure of a man appeared at the entrance.
Adele adjusted the clothes on her body, got up, and walked to him, taking the initiative to ask, “You’re back?”
“Yes.” Damon looked up and glanced at her, then continued to change his shoes.
As soon as he approached, Adele smelled the faint scent of alcohol on his body and could not help but frown. She poured a cup of water and handed it to him.
Damon took it. His expression was indifferent. He drank a few mouthfuls. Seeing that she had no intention of leaving, he said, “Is there anything else?”
“I want to talk to you.” Adele took a deep breath.
He put down the cup, his deep eyes plunging, and said faintly, “Go ahead.”
Adele clenched her fists slightly. She felt a little guilty, but she still mustered up the courage to ask, “Do you have… another woman?”
When these words came out, she clearly felt that Damon’s face darkened a little, and even the surrounding atmosphere became a few degrees colder.
After a pause, a cold light flashed in Damon’s eyes, and he said in a low voice, “Let’s talk about it another day.”
He could feel the sharpness in the woman’s body. If he confessed at this time, he was afraid that it would deepen her resentment, and could make it more impossible for her to agree to donate her kidney.
As he spoke, he strode towards the staircase.
Looking at his attitude, Adele’s heart was already cold. What she was more afraid of was that he was hiding everything from her! As his wife, she clearly had the right to know!
“Why can’t you say it now?” Adele stepped forward and grabbed his arm.
Since he had to say it sooner or later, why not tell her directly at this time?
Damon stopped in his tracks, his brows furrowed, and his eyes were filled with suppressed anger.
Because of Clara’s surgery and the company’s matters, he was already deeply troubled. Now that he just got home, he still had to face her questioning, so he was naturally annoyed.
“Do you have to get an answer today?” he asked, his voice sounding like it was rolling in his throat.
Adele clenched her fists, gritted her teeth, and said, “Yes.”
She just wanted him to give her an answer!
Damon’s gaze was gloomy, his tightly pursed lips forming a line. A moment later, he lifted his lips and said, “If you think so, then so be it.”
After saying this, he released her and walked away, leaving Adele alone in the same place.
Sure enough, he really has another woman.
The chill in her heart dispersed, and Adele felt her limbs go numb. She sucked in a breath of cold air and only recovered after a long while.
At first, she felt that she had married a perfect man. She had felt that even if there was no emotional foundation, they could slowly cultivate and live well. But now, the reality was like a basin of ice water, directly splashing her awake.
After tossing and turning, Adele did not sleep all night.
When the sky was dawn, Adele rubbed her dry eyes. Her mood was still a mess.Têxt © NôvelDrama.Org.
When she woke up, it was already noon. Adele went downstairs to eat something, drank some medicine, and sat in the living room, bored.
Damon did not let her return to work, and she had nothing to do at home. In this way, all her free time made her unconsciously think of Damon’s matter, and she was even more worried.
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.
Adele picked it up and saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She took a deep breath and absent-mindedly pressed the answer button.
“Did you miss me?” a pleasant male voice came from the other end.
Adele was stunned and instantly sobered up a little.
“Who are you?”
The voice on the other side laughed out loudly.
“Ms. Wes, you don’t even remember me?”
Adele was stunned for a moment, and a face suddenly flashed through her mind. Only then did she react, “Kevin?”
“I knew you couldn’t have forgotten me. You still owe me a meal, do you remember?” Kevin said in a frivolous tone as always.
“I know,” she said, taking a deep breath to calm herself down.
“Come out at night. I’ve booked a restaurant.”
“I…” Adele hesitated for a moment.
She was not in the mood to go out for dinner right now, let alone with him. She could not afford to pay attention to him at all.
“What? You don’t have time? Or do you want to go back on your word?” Kevin asked with a smile.
After a few words, Adele was speechless.
She had promised Kevin that she would treat him to a meal. Since she had nothing to do at home, she might as well agree.
“Okay, send me the address.”
“Okay, sending it now.”
Not long after, Adele’s phone vibrated and she received a text message.
“Oh right, how did you know my phone number?” Adele suddenly thought of something.
“As long as I want to, is there anything that I can’t uncover?” Kevin laughed wantonly.
“Alright,” Adele said helplessly.
He could even find out about her relationship with Damon, let alone a phone call.
“That’s it then,” Adele said, about to hang up the phone.
Before hanging up, a man’s voice came from the other side, “By the way, remember to dress properly this night!”
