Bullied and Dumped, But She Won in the End (Adriana) novel Chapter 207

The driver could feel the tension in the car. Curtis sat in silence, his anger filling the air, so even the driver drove extra carefully.

Adriana was stunned. She looked up at Curtis and stammered, “N–no, I won’t….

She wouldn’t marry Matthew.

But Curtis clearly misunderstood.

“Today, at the press conference of the new project launching, Matthew told the reporters that he already canceled his engagement with the Joneses,” Curtis said in a low voice, cutting her off. “So, aren’t you getting a divorce so you can marry him?”

Adriana froze. She had no idea what Matthew said today.

She hadn’t spoken to him in a long time.

Adriana just didn’t want Curtis to lose the family inheritance because of her.

Lincoln Group already rightfully belonged to him. She didn’t want other people ended up getting Curtis years of hard work.

That wouldn’t be fair for him.

Besides, her marriage with Curtis started as a contract, without real feelings.

In that case, maybe it was okay to end it.

“I never wanted to marry Matthew,” Adriana whispered.

Curtis stayed silent, still angry.

Adriana wanted to coax him, but she wasn’t sure if she should.

If they were really going to divorce, was there any point in trying to make him feel better?

The whole ride was awkward. Curtis kept waiting for Adriana to speak first, to tell him she wouldn’t bring up divorce again. While Adriana kept questioning was anything left worth saving.

Maybe things would be better if she left.

No matter what, she would always be Curtis’s weakness.

Just like Belinda said before she left, Adriana was too soft, too fragile. She wasn’t ready to stand beside Curtis as his equal.

All the way home, neither Adriana nor Curtis said a word.

They stayed silent, stuck in their own thoughts, Both too stubborn to

The moment they walked through the door, Curtis finally broke firs gently against the wall and kissed her. “You still want to get a divorce?

Adriana couldn’t read him at all. Was he angry? Did he want a divorce? Did he not?

With her breathing unsteady, she whispered against his lips, voice trembling with tears, “If we divorce… will you marry Nicole?”

Curtis frowned. She still wanted to talk about divorce? “No. I won’t marry her.”

Adriana stared at him, surprised. “But if you marry Nicole, you’ll get her family fortune.”

Curtis looked even more upset–but he still tried to hold back. “Why would I need that? Am I not busy enough? Do I have a lot of free time to be with you now?” He was angry, yes, but he refused to yell at her.

He understood why she thought that way. As long as she didn’t truly want to leave him, he could accept her doubts and would slowly guide her out of them.

Adriana grew up in an orphanage and then in other people’s homes. She never felt safe, never felt worthy. She always thought she didn’t deserve anyone, much less Curtis.

“B–but am I important to you?” Adriana lowered her head, her voice barely a whisper.

“Yes, very much so.” Curtis answered firmly.

He realized he needed to be very direct with her

Even when he told her clearly, she still doubted herself.

“You’re very important,” he said again.

Adriana looked up, eyes nervous, lips parting, but she didn’t know what to say.

“Adriana,” Curtis continued gently, “you need to be more confident. By now, our marriage has nothing to do with that contract. That agreement was only meant to protect your rights. You can consider it a prenuptial gift agreement.” He sighed softly.

If he regretted one thing, it was making that contract. It made her believe their marriage was just a deal.

But back then, if he hadn’t signed it, Adriana would’ve never dared to marry him.

There are gains and losses in everything. And now, Curtis was ready to carry the

consequences alone.

“Really?” Adriana’s eyes were red as she looked up at him.

Curtis kissed the top of her head. “Adriana, do you really not feel an haven’t noticed.”

Was he really that bad at showing it?

Adriana lowered her voice. “But people say that a sugar daddy can act gentle and caring toward the sugar baby. But once he gets bored, he tosses her aside,” Adriana whispered nervously.

Curtis was speechless. He gets a little mad. Instead of arguing, he scooped her up and carried her straight to the bedroom.

Sometimes, words didn’t work. He had to make her feel it.

By late night, Adriana’s voice was hoarse, her eyes a little swollen. She became too tired to

Curtis carried her out from the bathroom and gave her a light smack on the back. He asked, “Still want a divorce?”

Adriana shook her head quickly. She promised in a teary voice, “I won’t get a divorce. Not anymore. If you don’t bring it up, I’ll never mention it again.”

She used all her remaining strength to hold onto him.

See? When talking didn’t work, a different way helped.

Curtis tucked her into bed, satisfied. Then he asked, “Now, tell me. Who can What did they say?”

Adriana pulled the blanket over her head, muffling her voice. She didn’t want to answer.

“Hmm?” Curtis tugged the blanket away and gently pinched her cheek. His hand started to move lower, a clear threat to get her talking.
