Chapter 144 A Hundred Million For Every Child

Belinda stood there, watching Curtis and Adriana.

So she had been right all along… Adriana really was someone special to Curtis.

“Hurry up and put her down!” Harold huffed, finding the way the two of them clung to each other downright shameless.

“This is my home. What’s wrong with me holding my wife?” Curtis refused to let go. He knew Adriana was too embarrassed to face anyone, so he gently patted her back to comfort her.

Adriana struggled, wanting to get down and run back to her room. But for some reason, Curtis just wouldn’t let her go

He even carried her over to the sofa across from Harold, sitting down with her still in his arms….

Adriana felt her face burning. She could only hide against Curtis’s shoulder, refusing to look up.

She’d never been more embarrassed in her life.

Eva went off to the kitchen with a smile to make tea for Harold.

Harold shot Curtis a suspicious look as he watched their open display of affection

What was it about Adriana that could make both Curtis and Matthew lose their cool?

“Grandpa, it’s a little rude to show up unannounced like this. Was there something urgent?” Curtis’s tone was a little sarcastic: he didn’t bother being polite even to his own grandfather.

“You and Adriana… did you use in vitro fertilization for this baby?” Harold asked in a low voice.

Cynthia sat on the side, tense. She still held hope that maybe the baby was from in vitro fertilization, and Curtis had never actually touched Adriana.

Harold, shockingly, didn’t get angry at all. He nodded with satisfaction. “If you can have kids, then have more. Every baby you have gets you 100 million. The Lincolns can afford it.”

Adriana sat up, stunned, her eyes sparkling.

100 million for every child?

Cynthia was stunned, too, looking at Harold. Wasn’t the whole point of today’s visit to question who the father of Adriana’s baby was?

Watching Adriana’s face light up, Curtis couldn’t help but chuckle lightly. That little gold digger…

“You all can continue chatting. I’m going to take her upstairs to change Curtis didn’t want Adriana’s mind. wandering, so he carried her upstairs.

“Curtis, is it true that you get 100 million for every child born?” Adriana’s eyes sparkled, hoping he wouldn’t say it was a joke.

Curtis was exasperated. Did Matthew really know Adriana at all? He’d sworn that giving her money would make her feel humiliated. If anything. Curtis didn’t see any shame–just excitement. “Don’t you feel insulted getting paid to have babies?”

Adriana was so excited she stammered, “Feel free to insult me all you want!”

Curtis just laughed.

Just then, Adriana realized she might have gotten a little too greedy and shallow in the heat of the

moment…

But it was 100 million. Who wouldn’t want that kind of money?

Sure, her values might be off, but… that was 100 million!

“Fine, once the baby’s born, it’s yours.” Curtis coaxed her patiently.

Adriana probably didn’t even realize just how many hundreds of millions came with being Curtis’s wife.
