Chapter 276 Adenauer’s Invitation
Adenauer was still in his work clothes.
I looked at him , and he was looking me in the eye . Something moved silently between us.
It could have been a few seconds or a minute before he finally looked away.
‘As a psychiatrist, I support his decision,’ he said quietly. “When it comes to someone capable of emotional manipulation, the victim often ninjanovel.com becomes isolated. Having someone there to push you around and help you escape from that environment is one of the most effective ways to help.
Relief washed over me in an instant, but I still had doubts. “But I just told him on the phone that I trusted him and that I would give him more time. If I show up right away, will he think I don’t trust him after all? ”
‘ When do you think to go ? asked Adenauer suddenly.
‘Tomorrow ? If I can get a ticket ”, I replied without thinking. ‘I’m planning to surprise him under the pretense of spending Christmas together. That way he’ll be more receptive to my good intentions, I think.’

It was only after I spoke that I noticed that Adenauer’s mood had soured.
-what’s happening ? -I asked worried
Adenauer held out his hands helplessly. ‘Actually, he was going to invite you to spend Christmas with me and my family.’
When I heard that, my mind went blank for a moment.
My relationship with Adenauer was still strong and I was alone in a foreign country. It was perfectly normal for him to invite me to spend Christmas with his family.
But until now, the idea hadn’t even crossed my mind!
When Charlotte asked me about my plans, I said that I would return to the United States without hesitation. In other words, I was just thinking about who I wanted to ninjanovel.com content spend Christmas with, not even considering that Adenauer might invite me.
This was not something a bride should overlook.
I visibly tensed and looked at Adenauer apprehensively. Have you told your family yet? ”
As I waited for his answer, I didn’t even notice that he was holding his breath. Only my eyes betrayed my concern and
blame.
Adenauer looked at me and exhaled slowly, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly. ‘Fortunately, not yet.’
Even if I didn’t care for Adenauer anymore, I got the answer from his reaction.
My God ! He had definitely told the family about him.
In those few seconds that he was thinking about his answer, Adenauer had to consider whether it was better to tell the truth or use a well-intentioned lie.
