Chapter 704
“I‘ll be fine.”
Adina gave Flint a reassuring smile.
Then, the meeting room door was closed.
Flint appeared extremely downcast. He touched his pocket and took out a cigarette. “Ha!” Isabelle sneered and walked over. “Your wife‘s alone in a room with a man, and you‘re fine with it?”
–
“Don‘t even bother.” Flint stared at her coldly. “You better keep an eye on your own fiance.”
For some reason, he had always sensed something strange about Terry North‘s gaze whenever he looked at Addy.
Terry North was the leader in the area. If he really had an inappropriate interest in Addy, Flint did not know what he should do.
Flint‘s hand shook as he held his lighter, and he could not light up the cigarette for a long time.
Isabelle scoffed again. “Only a lousy man would let his wife go to get more benefits. What a disgrace.”
Flint could not be bothered by what Isabelle said. He breathed in some smoke while he focused on listening to
the sounds inside the meeting room. But the sound insulation was so good that he could not hear a thing.
The meeting room was spacious. Terry North sat in a place near the balcony, and Adina followed suit. They were about ten meters away from the door.
As she was about to express her intention, the man suddenly raised his head.
He stared at her quietly with his cold and dark eyes before he asked, “Do you speak the Cairnstanian language?”
She had found Terry North‘s voice very familiar the day before yesterday. After he spoke in Cairnstanian, the sense of familiarity grew even stronger. She was stunned as she asked, “Are you a Cairnstanian too?”
