Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

Ms. Henderson saw Damon and immediately greeted him, “Damon! You are finally here! We have been waiting for you for a long time! Come on in!”

“Dad, Mom, I’m late because of some work matters,” Damon said gently as he walked forward and put down the gift box in his hand.

When Professor Wes heard this, he quickly waved his hand and pulled him to sit down next to him. “It’s fine. We just arrived not long ago.”

“Then… why aren’t the in-laws here?” Ms. Henderson looked out the door and saw that no one else had come, so she asked doubtfully.

When Adele heard her mother ask this, she immediately thought of what Mary had said to her, and her heart instantly beat fast.

However, Damon’s expression was the same as usual, and he explained unhurriedly, “My father is abroad and has not been in the country for the time being. My mother died when I was twenty years old. There is a grandmother at home. Haven’t you seen her before? She is not in good health, so I didn’t let her come.”

Damon was very frank with everything.

When Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes heard him say this, they didn’t ask further.

Afraid that the atmosphere would be awkward, Ms. Henderson quickly smiled and mediated, “Now that you’re here, the dishes can be served.”

“Dad, don’t you like to play chess? I have specially found a set of chess for you. Please take a look. “Damon smiled.

“Damon, you really understand me. Today, the two of us must have a good drink!”

Adele, who was standing at the side, looked at them and felt that she was actually an outsider. When she saw Damon give him a gift, she finally reacted.

“Dad, I also prepared a gift for you.”

As she spoke, she hurriedly took out her gift box and handed it over.

Professor Wes nodded and put the gift aside, “Actually, I don’t care if there’s a gift or not. As long as you two are good, I’m relieved!”

As he spoke, he pulled Adele’s hand and placed it in Damon’s palm.

Adele only felt her palm heat up. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back, but Damon reacted faster and had directly held her hand firmly in his palm.Belonging © NôvelDram/a.Org.

“Dad, don’t worry about us.”

Seeing this, Professor Wes smiled from ear to ear and nodded repeatedly, “Good… good!”

Adele’s cheeks turned red as Damon held her hand. The man pulled her to sit down at the dining table, but he did not have the slightest intention of letting go.

What exactly… was he trying to do?

He had been so cold to her that he did not even have the patience to listen to her. But now, he took the initiative to run over to give his father his blessings and even refused to let go of her hand.

Adele felt inexplicably awkward. When Damon spoke to her father, she took the opportunity to pull her hand out of his hand.

The waiter served the dishes one after another. Professor Wes opened a red wine and said with a smile, “Today is a happy day.”

“Dad, I will drink wine with you. Mom and Adele will drink fruit juice.” Damon said and thoughtfully poured fruit juice for Adele and Ms. Henderson.

Seeing this, Ms. Henderson quickly said, “Damon, you are a sensible guy. Old Wes, you should learn from Damon to be a gentleman.”

Seeing her mother start to be offensive again, Adele felt funny and helpless.

At this moment, Damon picked up his chopsticks and picked up a big shrimp for her. He ordered lightly, “You eat too little.”

In the face of the man’s sudden concern, Adele’s cheeks were a little hot, but she did not know whether Damon was really concerned or pretending for her parents to see, so she could only agree and bury herself in the dishes.

At the dinner table, the atmosphere was very happy. Anyone who looked at it would think that this was a family with a harmonious relationship.

It was just that Adele always felt that there was something stuck in her heart that could not go either up or down.

When the dinner came to an end, Damon went out to pick up a call. Adele quickly found an excuse to follow him out of the private room.

Damon was standing at the end of the corridor. His face was serious as he instructed something on the phone. When he saw Adele, his expression changed slightly. Then, he gave a few simple instructions to the other side of the line and hung up the phone.

Seeing the woman approaching, he asked softly, “Why aren’t you accompanying them in the private room?”

“Why are you here all of a sudden?” Adele took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to ask.

He should have known nothing.

“Mary told me.” Damon lowered his eyes and stared into her eyes, saying seriously, “I am your husband, and I should be with you.”

When she heard the word “husband”, Adele’s heart trembled and she whispered, “I was afraid you would be busy…”

Before she finished speaking, she felt her shoulder tighten. When she looked up, she happened to meet the man’s eyes.

“No matter whether I’m busy or not, I will accompany you in your affairs.”

In an instant, Adele’s cheeks burned and she unconsciously felt a little shy.

This was the first time a man had said something like this to her.

“I… I got it. I’ll go back to the private room first…”

Adele was so flustered that she almost didn’t dare to look Damon in the eyes. She quickly returned to the private room.

“Bang!” The door of the private room was closed. When Ms. Henderson saw Adele rushing in, she couldn’t help but mutter, “You girl, behave yourself. Do you know that you are not a child now?”

“Alright, alright. It’s such a happy occasion today. You should stop talking.”

“What do you know, Old Wes? She has to learn to be a lady.”

Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes kept talking to each other, while Adele’s mind was not on this at all. The words that Damon had just said kept flashing back and forth in her mind.

She had thought that Damon was unreasonable, but now he did not seem to be as cold as she had imagined. What he did today had really touched her.

After the dinner, she and Damon sent Ms. Henderson and Professor Wes to the entrance of the hotel together. Professor Wes had drunk a lot, and naturally, he could not drive.

Damon helped Professor Wes get into the car and said to Ms. Henderson, “Mom, I have arranged for someone to send you home safely. Be careful on the way.”

“Okay, then we will leave first. Take good care of Adele.”

After a simple farewell, Adele and Damon watched the car leave.

When the car drove away, Damon turned to look at Adele beside him. “I will ask Ben to send you back. You should rest early.”

“You… aren’t going back?” Adele’s heart sank.

“I still have a dinner party to attend. I need to show up. You go back first.”

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and was about to make a call.

Adele suddenly reached out and grabbed the corner of his clothes. “How about I go with you…”
