Ms. Escape Marrying to Run Fighting to Rise novel Chapter 153

Chapter 153 Amazing Man

Adriana knew that once Curtis left, he probably wouldn’t come home tonight.

Cynthia always had a way of making things complicated.

48. Finished

Adriana didn’t blame Curtis. She just felt sorry for him. If it weren’t for the debt he owed, he wouldn’t be trapped like this. But Cynthia really had saved his life, so he couldn’t just ignore her.

“I’ll come back tonight and cook for you,” Curtis said after checking the time.

Adriana blinked. It was already a little past four. If they planned to eat around seven, that meant less than two hours. She wondered if Curtis could really make it back that fast.

After he left. Adriana sat on the couch, feeling a little empty.

She didn’t expect him to come back.

If Cynthia pulled a stunt like this, she definitely wouldn’t let Curtis leave the hospital early.

Adriana reclined on the couch and looked at her study–abroad group messages when she suddenly received a photo on WhatsApp.

Belinda had sent it. It was a picture of Curtis sitting beside Cynthia’s hospital bed.

Adriana didn’t reply. She didn’t blame Belinda–Belinda was Cynthia’s daughter. Of course, she would take Cynthia’s side.

But then another message came in quickly. “My mom told me to send that to you on purpose.”

Then Belinda deleted the message.

Adriana froze. Cynthia asked her to send that?

So Cynthia really wanted Curtis all to herself.

But Adriana also believed Curtis only cared for Cynthia out of gratitude.

Danielle’s words about Curtis “being in love with Cynthia” had made Adriana believe that for a moment. But now that she thought about it, Curtis’s feelings definitely weren’t romantic.

“Adriana, our class is having a graduation gathering tomorrow. Are you coming?” the class rep messaged her.

A class gathering?

She wasn’t interested,

She was about to reply no when another message came in. “All the students going abroad will be there. And the teacher wants to explain the study–abroad schedule for next semester.

Adriana sighed. She didn’t want to see Cheryl, but everyone going to Pastalia would be in the same group anyway. She couldn’t avoid them forever.

“Okay,” Adriana replied.

She lay on the couch scrolling through her phone. An hour passed before she knew it,

She checked the time. It was already 5:30 p.m. And Curtis still hadn’t returned.

He’s probably not coming back.

Finished

Feeling disappointed, she sat up and walked toward the kitchen to see what she could cook for herself.

Just then, the door opened. Curtis walked in carrying fresh groceries.

Adriana stared.

He comes back that quickly? And he even stops by the fresh market to buy ingredients?

So he really doesn’t stay long at the hospital.

“Is fish okay?” Curtis asked.

Adriana nodded, nervous. “You came back so fast?”

“Her cut wasn’t deep. I said a few things and left. I asked Kenneth to help her get a therapist. From now on, the therapist will handle her issues. Curtis didn’t want to pretend he knew anything about counseling.

Adriana nodded, her heart lifting

Maybe it made her a little selfish, but when she liked someone or something–she wanted them all to herself.

“I’ll prep the food first. Curtis rolled up his sleeves and washed the vegetables and fish.

Adriana stood right behind him. She didn’t even want to move,

She felt like she was losing it a little.

If this continued, she was going to depend on him too much.

She needed her language course to start soon, so she could distract herself.

“Wendy said she’ll introduce you to some people in the field. If you’re interested, I’ll set up a time,” Curtis said as he turned and saw Adriana leaning on him like a sad little bunny.

She was so soft. So obedient.

‘T’d love that!” Adriana perked up right away.

Curtis sighed. Of course. Her career always comes first.

“You’re that happy?” he asked.

Adriana nodded.

Curtis was willing to pave the way for her. He was willing to make time to help her build connections. That

made her genuinely happy.

After prepping the food, Curtis cooked the whole dinner himself.
