Chapter 62 Curtis's Tenderness

Adeline looked at Curtis in confusion.

He gently took her hand and said, "Give me half an hour. I want to hug you and be a good husband."

Adeline remembered she had said on the blind date that when she got in trouble, she hoped her husband would hug and care for her instead of blaming her. So, she nodded.

Curtis pulled her to sit on his lap, tenderly hugged her, and stroked her back, saying, "It's my fault. I failed to protect you, so you were scared."

Adeline felt warm and said, "It's not your fault."

"No. Steffen has found out they did it because of me."

Hearing his self-reproaching words, she was stunned and looked up at him.

Then, he continued, "Alexander sent them there. He is Victoria's cousin."

Adeline frowned, "Victoria is behind the scenes again!"

Curtis chuckled, "It's not surprising. She did a shameless thing. And Logan is about to come back. She is so anxious that she wants to ruin you. Therefore, it's my fault."

Meeting her puzzled gaze, he rubbed her head and said, "Victoria invested 10 million dollars in Alexander's Bold Ax. He is a Loan Shark."

Adeline widened her eyes in surprise and said, "It is illegal!"

Curtis nodded, "When Victoria hired paid posters to slander you on the Internet, I was so angry that I tipped the police off about Alexander's company that has harmed many people. Steffen said a person borrsomeoneey from Bold Ax because his family member was sick. In the end, he committed suicide because of the unfairly high rates of interest. My tip-off can retaliate against Victoria and do good deeds for the poor borrowers."

Adeline was terrified to hear his words. She took his hand and said, "You did the right thing. It is Victoria's fault instead of yours."

Adeline had not expected Curtis to be so righteous. After they hugged for a while, she remembered what her colleague had said about the ring this morning. So, she straightened up and said, "By the way, didn't you say this ring is not expensive? My colleague said it is worth tens of millions!"

"Really?" Curtis smiled.

Adeline put on a severe face and ventured, "Did you lie to me?"

Curtis's heart skipped a beat. He keenly sensed the problem, quickly looked away, and coughed.

When he turned to look at her again, he showed a weak look and said, "This ring is indeed expensive."

Hearing this, Adeline immediately tried to take it off.

"I lied to you because I was afraid you would not wear it. I'm a sick person, so I have nothing to give you. I can only give you what I bought before."

When she paused, he quickly pushed the ring back. Looking at her white hand, he thought it was pretty.

"I bought the ring for my future beloved woman when I was rich. So, I gave it to you after we met. Don't refuse it, okay?"

Adeline glanced around the apartment, looked at the ring, and murmured, "The money you earned in the past is enough to support us for the rest of our lives."

Curtis chuckled without denying it.

He had so much money that he did not even know the exact number. Anyway, he had money to burn.

A ten-million ring was not worth mentioning. He planned to buy a hundred-million one when she accepted him more.

After a while, Steffen came over with General, who had been showered.

Seeing him, Adeline hastily tried to stand up.

Curtis pressed her down and coaxed her, saying, "You have to sit on my lap. Otherwise, General will not recognize you as its owner."

Adeline was dubious. But she was a little scared when facing such a big dog. So, she sat on Curtis's lap without standing up. Anyway, Steffen had seen such scenes before.

Adeline felt her skin had become thicker recently.

Curtis snapped his fingers to motion for General to come over and gently said, "Adeline, this is our pet, and its name is General."

Adeline dared not move but respectfully said, "General, nice to meet you."

Curtis chuckled, "You don't have to be afraid. General is a good and cute dog."

Adeline did not think it was cute at all! Owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Seeing her not believe his words, Curtis glanced at General.

General's heart instantly skipped a beat, wondering what he wanted it to do.
