Chapter 70 Delinquent Teenager
Curtis keenly noticed the change in Adeline's expression, so he asked, "What's wrong?"
Adeline looked away from the person and shook her head, "Nothing."
He followed her gaze and saw several high school boys fighting in jest.
One of them had a crew cut and dyed his hair yellow, so he was eye-catching. He had a stud on his right ear and had a sinister smile, looking like a delinquent teenager.
Curtis frowned. Adeline's face had turned pale. Even if the boy was her disobedient student, it was strange that she reacted like this.
Adeline was absent-minded and felt weak in her legs. After sitting in the cinema, she could not focus on the movie. Before the movie ended, she whispered, "I'm feeling unwell. Let's go home."
Curtis nodded.
Then, they left the cinema and returned to the apartment.
As soon as entering the door, Curtis took her hand, intending to ask what was wrong.
But he suddenly frowned, "Why are your hand so cold?"
"I'm feeling a little uncomfortable, so I asked you to come back with me," Adeline explained, looking ill at ease.
"I'll send for the family doctor."
She stopped him when he took out his phone and said, "I will be fine after a good rest in my bedroom."
Then, she locked herself in the main bedroom. NôvelDrama.Org exclusive content.
Staring at her running away, Curtis felt depressed, wondering why she was so afraid of a teenager that her hands turned cold.
Steffen had been secretly protecting them. When he came to the apartment, Curtis glanced at him and ordered, "Get the surveillance video of the cinema. We saw several high school students there. I need all their information, especially the yellow-hair boy."
"Do you suspect those teenagers made Mrs. Riley uncomfortable?"
Curtis nodded, "Yeah."
Adeline had been in high spirits before seeing them. After meeting them in the cinema, she had been so panicked that she couldn't breathe steadily.
Steffen coughed and embarrassingly whispered in Curtis's ear, "Maybe she is in her period."
Curtis denied it without hesitation, saying, "Impossible."
Steffen was stunned and asked, "Why are you so sure?"
Seeing Curtis narrow his deep eyes, he was so scared that he quickly slipped away, saying, "Mr. Riley, I'll collect their information right now!"
Curtis showed a self-mocking smile. He, of course, knew her period.
Adeline used to go to the old house once a month and on holidays. For the past three years, he had never missed her visit! He had always stared at her from afar, so he remembered when she had
frowned in discomfort, refused ice water, and felt cold. Therefore, he knew when she had her menstrual period.
In the middle of the night, Curtis sneaked into the main bedroom. In the moonlight, he saw Adeline. She was curling up with a pillow in her arms, looking insecure. He stroked her brows, tucked her in, and returned to his bedroom.
In the morning, Steffen came with the information about the high school students in the cinema and said, "Mr. Riley, those students are all high school seniors. They are delinquent teenagers at West District Middle School who had the worst grades."
Then, he pointed to the yellow-haired boy and continued, "You guessed it right. It should be him who made Mrs. Riley uncomfortable."
Curtis looked up and asked, "Are you sure?"
Steffen nodded, "Yes. She has nothing to do with the other boys. This yellow hair one is Jonathan Morris. Mrs. Riley used to be an intern at West District Middle School. And Jonathan was her student."
After a pause, he added, "She graduated with excellent grades. West District Middle School tried to let her continue to work there. But she refused the offer and chose to work in an elementary school."
Strangely, she had refused a job offer from an excellent high school and chosen to work in an elementary school.
"What happened between them?"
"We're still investigating. I don't know if there was any conflict back then."
When Steffen finished speaking, Adeline pushed the door open and walked out.
