Chapter 7 Thank You Mrs. Riley, For Giving Me A Home

Owen was annoyed and amused at the same time by this coquettish operation.

On the contrary, Max played with the empty bag in his hand. He raised his eyes, glanced at him, and directly asked, "Have you won the heart of your nephew's fiancee?"

Both of them grew up together with Curtis. They had a very close relationship, and they always knew there was someone in his heart.

This person happened to be his nephew's fiancee.

Usually when mentioning about this, Curtis would pull a long face.

But he was in a good mood today. He corrected, "She's now my wife."

"You won her heart?" Max took a foxy look at the smug Curtis.

"Yes" Curtis responded without changing his face expression.

Owen opened his mouth so wide that he could almost stuff two eggs in it, ...

Max slightly narrowed his eyes, and asked again, "Have you applied for the marriage certificate?"

"Yes." Then, Curtis solemnly took two marriage certificates out from the inner pocket of his suit, opened and placed them on the table.

Owen felt unbelievable. He wanted to reached out to pick up and have a look at it, but Curtis slapped it away before he could touch it.

Owen, ...

"Have you washed your hands? Don't touch my marriage certificate with your dirty hands."

Curtis warned him and gave him a cold look, then extremely preciously picked up two pieces of paper and showed one of them to both of them.

In just a few seconds, he carefully put the papers back into the inner pocket of his suit.

Owen, ...

"Is it necessary for you to treasure it this much?" While complaining, Owen even elbowed Max, "Hey, Max, don't you think this is too unreal?"

Max calmly took a puff of cigarette, "What's unreal? That woman was originally despised by Curtis's second sister-in-law, Victoria. She was also not favoured at home. It was not a decent in-law's family. Maybe Victoria contributed to this matter."

"That's right." Curtis raised his eyebrows and briefly explained the process.

Owen instantly widened his eyes, "You mean, Victoria bribed your opponent to drug you?"

Curtis slightly nodded.

"But aren't you very resistant to those drugs? You could bear ice baths and bloodletting before. You actually slept with her this time?" Owen spoke in a higher pitch.

Curtis made a mockery of himself and lifted the corners of his lips, "There's no cure after I touch her. Uncontrollable......"

The women he met before were those he did not like. He felt disgusted, so he could naturally control it.

But the self-control he was so proud of was defeated in just a moment in front of her.

Owen had never been in a relationship before, and he did not understand these things, but he still patted him on the shoulder with a tinge of emotion, and raised the wine glass in his hand to toast him.

"Brother, I'm truly happy for you. I thought you were going to be a bachelor for the rest of your life! Unexpectedly, you're the first to get married among three of us! Come on, brother, I wish you a happy wedding!"

Max also raised his wine glass, "Congratulations for getting what you want."

"Thank you." Curtis hold a sip of red wine in mouth, the corners of his lips curled up in joy, and solemnly said, "But there must be a gift. Today's gift is that we got our marriage certificates. When we hold the wedding ceremony later, you guys have to give me a big gift."

Max, ...

Owen, ...

"No, you're not having a shortage of money either! Is it necessary for you to request money from us as your wedding gift?" Owen valued money. It hurt him a bit when he thought of preparing red packets twice.

"It's true that I'm not having a shortage of money, but I'm happy to receive it as a gift from you guys." Curtis casually took off his glasses, revealing a pair of aggressive long eyes.

He did not bother to pretend himself in front of his own brothers.

"Then how much should be packed?" Owen tentatively asked. After all, it could not be too much, or too little. Who in the world knew his brother's standard.

"Eight thousand eight hundred, nine thousand eight hundred." Thinking of Adeline's expression on receiving money as a gift, the corners of Curtis's lips raised in joy again.

"That's fine, I'll pack 8,800 yuan. Max, you pack 9,800 yuan." Owen quickly asked his assistant to bring cash over.

Max also say nothing else, and asked his assistant to prepare cash-filled red packet.

Owen handed over the red packet, and asked, "Well... does sister-in-law know about your legs?"

"Have a guess?" Curtis took the red packet and said with a half-smile.

Steffen explained in a timely manner, "Mrs. Riley doesn't know yet. Not only that, Mr. Riley is still sickly, frequently coughing, losing power, and poor in front of Mrs. Riley. You guys have to cooperate if meeting her outside in the future."

Owen widened his eyes again, and also spoke in a higher tone of voice.

"Brother, you're playing with fire! Don't you worry that sister-in-law will get angry and divorce you if she finds out?"

Then, Owen also knew that he was talking nonsense, so he quickly "Bah, bah, bah" three times.

Hearing the divorce, Curtis pulled a long face, and his voice became a little colder, "That won't happen!"

Max was the same as Curtis.

They must get what they wanted.

He sarcastically raised the corners of his lips and smiled, "This is impossible. It's impossible for the prey that falls into Curtis's trap to escape."

Hearing this, Curtis's expression softened a little, and he raised his wine glass towards him.

"You know me."

He would never let Adeline had the possibility to walk out of his own life.

--

On the other side, Adeline went to the Bay Hall. She found the facilities and greening of the community were indeed very good. The environment was beautiful.

There was also a ramp specially for the disabled at the community here, and the supporting services were very perfect. It was estimated that Curtis chose here because of this.

Adeline only realised that Curtis bought a large apartment when she reached the 21st floor. It was a self-contained unit, with no neighbours and with great privacy.

After opening the coded door, it was a floor-to-ceiling window, which she could see a large view of the wide river.

The apartment was two hundred and twenty square meters, with a good sense of space, but the design was rather cold.

In one afternoon, Adeline bought flowers and some succulents for embellishment. She even made soup, waiting for Curtis to come back.

She also did not know if Curtis would come back. Both of them had just got married. They had not had time to communicate, and she also did not have his contact details. She felt uneasy when sitting on the sofa alone.

Fortunately, she did not wait for a long time. Curtis was then sent back by Steffen.

Curtis was stunned for a moment as soon as he entered into the apartment.

The original design, which grey was the dominant colour, suddenly had the vitality, because of the woman in the living room, the pink roses on the table, several pots of tender green succulents and colourful tablecloth. Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

Seeing Curtis's surprised look, Adeline quickly carefully explained, "I think the house was a little deserted so I bought some things to decorate it. I didn't inform you in advance. Do you like it?"

Sensing Adeline's slight expression, it hurt Curtis to the core. He pushed the wheelchair over, and gently took her hand, "Mrs. Riley, I like it very much, thank you."

Adeline felt a little embarrassed when she was called "Mrs. Riley", and Curtis's low-pitched voice sounded in her ears again.

"Adeline, this house belongs to you, and you're the hostess of this house, so you can do whatever you want in the future. You can make your own decisions without asking for my opinions."

Adeline was startled, "Hostess?"

"Well, we've got married, what are you if you're not the hostess?" Curtis half-jokingly said, "No, you're still the head of the household."

Adeline suddenly felt as if her heart had been soaked by a warm current. After quite a while, only then the corners of her lips curled up and said, "Thank you."

Thanked him for giving her a home.

Thanked him for giving her the respect she deserved.

And these were something she had never had at home before.

Curtis also slightly curled the corners of his lips, "I should thank Mrs. Riley, for giving me a home."

Adeline was a little embarrassed by the "Mrs. Riley" again. She blushed, and blushed even more when she saw Steffen who was still at the side.

"Steffen, have you eaten yet? How about......"

"I have eaten! I'll leave after eating the documents! No... I'll leave after taking the documents."

Steffen, who had been silently witnessing public display of affection, was so scared that he quickly answered her, almost biting his tongue.

With Curtis's consent, he immediately went to the study to get the documents, then swiftly ran away.

Not kidding. How many lives he had to stay and eat as a third wheel?

Adeline felt that Steffen left in quite a hurry, as if someone wanted to hunt him down.

Glancing at the dishes on the table, she looked at Curtis again and asked, "Then have you eaten?"

"Not yet."

"Then I'll serve you rice."

"Okay."

Adeline turned back to the kitchen, came out with a plate of steamed fish, and glanced at Curtis, "Curtis, let's add WhatsApp so it's more convenient for us to contact each other in the future."

As soon as the voice fell, Adeline's phone on the table just sounded with a "Ding", and the screen lit up.

Both of them subconsciously looked at it, and saw the WhatsApp notification from Logan.

Adeline's hand holding the plate suddenly trembled.
