Chapter 19 You Think I Would Eat You?
Looking at the silent Adele, Ben reminded, “Mr. Yusuf also said that you must protect it henceforth and not lose it again.
Adele took the ring and put it back on the ring finger of her left hand. She felt a little heavy.
Before, she was very clear that she and Damon were just in a simple relationship, but now it seemed to be more complicated.
After leaving Hotel River and returning to the villa, Adele smelled the fragrance of food the moment she entered the door. She was surprised when she saw a figure coming out of the kitchen.
“Are you Miss Wes?” A woman in her forties asked when she saw Adele.
“And you are?” Adele was confused.
“I’m the servant that Young Master transferred from the grand house to take care of your daily life.”
“Mary is from the Yusuf family’s grand house. Mr. Yusuf transferred her over to take care of you,” Ben explained.
“Take care of me?”
Adele was about to refuse, but Mary had already reached out her hand enthusiastically and pulled her towards the restaurant. “I’m here to take care of you and Young Master. Young Master was taken care of by me when he was only a boy. I know his preferences and tastes very well! Since Young Master has married you, then I have to call you Young Madam. I made dinner, but I don’t know if it’s to your liking…”Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
Adele was pulled to the dining room. When she saw the dishes, she forgot how to talk. After she tasted a few mouthfuls, she threw all the words of refusal to the back of her mind.
“Mary, this meatball is too delicious!”
Adele was full of praise for Mary’s cooking skills and did not notice that someone was coming over.
When Mary heard Adele’s praise in the kitchen, she was so happy that she could not close her mouth. “Eat more if it’s delicious! The dessert will be ready soon!”
Just as Adele was about to respond, she glanced at the figure next to her from the corner of her eye. When she turned around, she found Damon standing not far away. She was so nervous that the chopsticks in her hand fell off.
“Why… Why are you back?”
Damon looked at the woman who had changed her face in a second, and a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes.
She was happily eating a second ago. Was he so scary?
“Is it strange that I come back to my own house?”
Damon raised his eyebrows and walked over to sit opposite Adele.
“Oh.”
Adele replied. She lowered her head and stopped talking. When she saw the person in front of her, she unconsciously thought of what happened earlier today. Her cheeks could not help but burn.
Coincidentally, Mary came out of the kitchen with a bowl of soup. When she saw the two of them at the dining table, she immediately smiled and said, “Young Master, you’re back!”
Sensing the sudden silence of Adele, she could not help but ask, “Young Madam, why are you not eating?”
This address made Adele’s cheeks burn even more. She glanced at the man opposite her in a panic and shook her head, “I’m full.”
As she spoke, she immediately got up and turned to leave.
Just as she was halfway up the stairs, a clear male voice suddenly came from behind her, “Why are you running?”
Damon caught up to her, raised his arm to the wall, and directly blocked her way.
Adele raised her head and looked at the handsome face in front of her. Her heart was beating wildly. Damon deliberately lowered his head and smiled slightly, “You think I would eat you?”
“I…”
Adele was at a loss for words.
Seeing the woman’s defeated look, Damon raised his hand in satisfaction. He grabbed her hand and walked in the direction of the bedroom.
“What… What are you doing!” Adele felt uneasy.
Could it be that he still wanted to…
Without a word, Damon pulled her straight into the bedroom and walked to the bedside. “S…”
“Sex? You want to have sex again?” Adele subconsciously crossed her arms in front of her chest.
Seeing the woman’s nervous look, Damon laughed. “Sit down,” he said.
As he spoke, he opened the cabinet and took out the medicine box. He skillfully took out the gauze and medicine.
Adele was stunned for a moment before she realized that there was still a wound on her neck.
“You have to change the gauze regularly. It will help prevent a scar here.”
As Damon spoke, he gently removed the gauze from her neck and then smeared it with a cotton swab.
A trace of pain spread through her neck. Adele took a deep breath and looked up at the man’s serious face.
Today, Damon seemed to be different from before. Although he still looked cold, he seemed to be more tender than before.
After carefully changing the gauze, Damon casually packed up his things.
“You can rest at home for the next few days. There is no need to rush to work.”
“Then…” Adele hesitated. Thinking of what Jacquelin had done to her, she looked up at Damon. “The matter of my promotion…”
“I arranged it.”
“Why?” Adele took a deep breath.
The promotion system in the company was very transparent, and Damon made an exception to give her a promotion. Not to mention Jacquelin, she was afraid that other old employees in the company would also have a grudge against her.
As if he saw through her thoughts clearly, Damon paused his movements and looked at her with a serious look, “Adele.”
“Have you forgotten that you are my wife and you deserve a better job?”
The man suddenly said seriously, which made Adele’s heart beat faster.
Before she could speak, Damon had already turned around and put the medicine box back to its original place. “Have a good rest. If you need anything, look for Mary.”
Seeing the man’s back disappear from her sight, Adele still did not come back to her senses.
There had never been a man who had said such words to her before. Even her former boyfriend, Sam, had only demoted her to nothing after betraying her, but Damon had actually said that she deserved much more…
Just as she was laughing foolishly, the phone suddenly rang. Adele came back to her senses and looked at the phone screen. She answered the phone in a hurry. “Hello? Mom? What’s wrong?”
“Adele, have you forgotten that the day after tomorrow is your father’s birthday? Did you forget your parents after getting married?”
“Ah, I really forgot! Mom, it’s good that you reminded me!” Adele patted her head.
“I have already planned it. When the time comes, take Yus with you and ask him to call his parents as well. We will have a meal together.”
“What? Mom!” Adele was shocked and could not sit still at all. “Call his parents?”
She had only been in the villa for several days, and she had never heard him mention them at all let alone meet them. Now that Ms. Henderson asked her to organize a meal. Wasn’t this making things difficult for her?
“What’s wrong?” Ms. Henderson said matter-of-factly. “You two have already gotten your marriage certificate. It’s time for the parents of both sides to meet!”
“Mom… can you give me some time? I haven’t told him yet.”
“What are you waiting for? I think this is a good time. It’s your father’s birthday. It’s suitable for us to meet! Adele, your father has agreed to this matter. Don’t let us down.”
Ms. Henderson said and hung up the phone.
Adele stared at the darkened phone screen with a distressed face.
If she really told Damon, would he agree?
