Chapter 66 Dinner With Details

“Not really” Curtis didn’t answer about the price, instead, he carefully served Adriana some food

Adriana relaxed a little, letting herself focus on her meal.

It can’t be that expensive, right? What if it broke while I wore it!

Besides. I’m only a contract wife. There’s no point in giving me something so valuable.

Farshad

“Wow! These ribs taste amazing Adriana took a bite of the barbecue ribs and was blown away by the flavor..

So this is what expensive ribs taste like, huh?

Curtis just smiled and continued serving her.

Adriana realized she was talking too much and lowered her head to eat quietly.

If I keep living like this, will I just lose myself?

“Try this” Curtis set a piece of roasted cod on her plate and said casually. The chef didn’t use any dill or parsley, just a bit of minced garlic.

Adriana’s cheeks puffed slightly as she chewed. her hands freezing mid–motion.

She stared at Curtis, stunned.

He actually remembers I don’t like dill.

Even Matthew, who had dated her for four years had never noticed she always avoided dill.

When she was a child, the smell alone made her gag–it was instinctive. As for parsley, she just didn’t like the taste. But she loved garlic. Adriana wondered if this was just a coincidence, or if Curtis had somehow found out.

She still remembered being ten. when her second foster family took her in. Afraid they wouldn’t like her. she forced herself to eat a casserole filled with dill, parsley, and blue cheese. Later, she’d hidden in the bathroom and thrown up for ages.

And still, her foster parents didn’t keep her just because she was obedient.

The following year, they had a baby of their own.

So, Adriana was sent back to the group home.

Since then, het aversion to dill wasn’t just about taste—it was tied to something deeper.

Every time she smelled it, she’d think of being rejected and sent away.

Curtis’s phone rang, shattering the heavy silence at just the right moment.

Adriana blinked, lowering her head to keep eating. Maybe Curtis just doesn’t like dill or parsley either

“Hello?” Curtis stepped aside to answer the call.

He said, “Adriana isn’t feeling well.”

Then he frowned at whatever was said on the other end. “Got it.”

After hanging up, he looked at Adriana. “Jeremy invited you to the Bartons‘ family dinner. Do you want to go?”

Curtis was checking with her. “If you don’t want to, it’s okay to skip it.”

“Was this Harold’s idea?” Adriana guessed. It must have been him who called.

Curtis stayed silent.

“Then I’ll go.” Adriana smiled at Curtis. “I’m fine.”

Curtis took a deep breath and glanced at the schedule. “I’ll get you back to Haldoria as soon as possible.”

Adriana nodded. It wasn’t a big deal; this was part of her job, and she didn’t feel wronged.

Curtis actually doesn’t have to worry so much about my feelings.

If he’s too nice, I might get the wrong idea and start hoping for things I shouldn’t.

At the Barton Estate.

The Bartons‘ residence was a huge mansion reminiscent of a 20th–century castle, giving the surreal feeling of being in a movie.

“Mr. Lincoln, this way please.” A maid was waiting outside, guiding Curtis to the men’s side of the house.

Adriana followed a different maid to the female guest area.

“Curtis! It’s been half a year, hasn’t it? How’s everything? Lincoln Group doing well?” The man greeting Curtis was Chandler Barton, Jeremy’s illegitimate son, Danielle’s father.

Jeremy’s legitimate son and daughter–in–law had died in Haldoria, so this illegitimate son had stepped in as host.

Adriana glanced at Chandler, inexplicably feeling a chill run down her spine.
