Fecope Marrying to His Halting to PlUS

Chapter 147 Goodnight, Adriana

It was obvious’she was exhausted.

Maybe it was the pregnancy, but Adriana had become easily tired lately,

Curtis didn’t wake her. Instead, he quietly scooped her up and carried her home.

Mr. Lincoln, there’s a homecoming party tomorrow for the daughter of Mr. Yannick Blake, the president of the Haldoria Chamber of Commerce. Since you’re in Haldoria, you’ll be attending, right?” As soon as Curtis

stepped out of the

room after laying Adriana down, Kenneth brought him two invitations–one for him:

and one for Adriana.

“Alright, I got it.”

Curtis disliked those phony social events, but he couldn’t avoid this one. As his wife, Adriana would have to go with him.

Otherwise, he’d be surrounded by women trying to get his attention the entire party.

In the bedroom, Adriana slept uneasily.

Ever since she’d married Curtis, she’d been able to sleep well. But whenever he wasn’t by her side, she would start having nightmares.

Maybe it was just a childhood habit. She’d never really felt safe since she was little.

“Curtis… don’t leave me…”

She was terrified of being abandoned.

She’d been adopted twice and sent back both times. Later, she met Matthew and thought she’d finally found salvation, but he ended up leaving her, too.

She was convinced that sooner or later, Curtis would abandon her as well.

“Curtis!”

Panicked, Adriana woke up from her nightmare.

She gasped for air, looking around the bed. Curtis was nowhere in sight.

She started to panic.

“Curtis….

Adriana ran out of the bedroom barefoot, looking for him.

Those moments between sleep and waking were always when she panicked most. She still hadn’t really come to her senses, so she couldn’t think rationally.

“Adriana?” Seeing Adriana run out in a panic, Curtis hurried upstairs and scooped her into his arms. “What’s wrong? Did you have a bad dream?”

With Minbow she always been able to remind herself that he’d never marry her, and their relationship

could end someday:

even though she knew this marriage to Curtis was temporary, she still fell for him.

What would she do when the end finally came?

“It’s nothing just a nightmare, Adriana whispered.

Curtis picked her up and carried her back to bed, “Go back to sleep. I’ll stay with you”

Adriana crawled under the covers, watching as Curtis brought his laptop over and sat by the bed to work. Her nose sting a little.

She thought she was being dramatic, but she still couldn’t help snuggling close to Curtis, Only then could she fall asleep.

When Curtis finished his work, he looked at Adriana curled up next to him with an affectionate gaze. He reached over to ruffle her hair, turned out the light, and pulled her into his arms.

“Goodnight. Adriana.”

In an apartment at Clarke Street No. 1, Irene had the place cleaned before moving in. She’d have to stay in Haldoria for a while–at least until she found her niece.

Nicole was the only one she cared about in this world.

After her sister died, that missing child had become her one and only tie to family.

Sometimes Irene wondered what she was really clinging to. Maybe her obsessive love was just a burden for her niece. Maybe the girl wouldn’t even want to be found.

If she really did find her, how could she possibly make up for all those lost years? How could she give her enough love to make up for what she’d missed?

She couldn’t help wondering how that child was doing now.

Click. The apartment’s passcode hadn’t changed; only Irene and Gary knew it.
