Ms. Escape Marrying to Run Fighting to Rise novel Chapter 96

Chapter 96 Figured Out

Yolanda still had her limits. She would never destroy someone else’s relationship or family. “Sorry, Adriana… I didn’t know Curtis wasn’t single. The media always reported him as single.”

“It’s okay. Our marriage might not last long anyway,” Adriana joked lightly.

Yolanda laughed. “Then I’ll wait until you divorce before I make a move on Mr. Lincoln.”

Yolanda never hid her ambition. Her interest in Curtis was always obvious, never subtle. After all, with Curtis’s power and status, very few women could afford to be indifferent toward him.

Adriana nodded with a smile. She actually liked Yolanda’s personality–a girl who owned her feelings and desires, who didn’t play games behind people’s backs.

Besides, Adriana never felt that Curtis truly belonged to her. Their divorce was inevitable. Whoever could capture Curtis’s heart afterward could go ahead and try.

Besides, there were countless women vying for Curtis’s attention.

Adriana felt helpless. Danielle was one, Cynthia was another, and now Nicole even lived at home, occupying her main bedroom.

“So, Adriana, can we be friends?” Yolanda asked, smiling brightly and openly at her.

“Sure… ” Adriana thought for a moment and said softly, “I haven’t had many friends growing up, so I’m not sure how friendships work. If I ever do anything that makes you uncomfortable, just tell me.”

Yolanda looked surprised, then quickly nodded with a smile. “So, does that make me your main bestie now? I’ll do my best to win you over.”

Adriana laughed at Yolanda. She was genuinely sunny and confident.

Adriana thought Yolanda’s family must have been very happy, with parents who supported her and the resources to cultivate her talent and confidence into such an open, radiant young woman.

Adriana admired Yolanda, but she knew she would never be that kind of girl.

Growing up, her insecurities had buried her desires deep inside Even if she wanted something, she never dared to express it.

She’d been with Matthew for four years, and the only time she was ever bold enough to speak up was to ask, “Are we actually dating?”

Matthew had said yes…

That simple answer kept her satisfied for four years.

But Matthew had looked down on her because she never demanded anything.

“I still have three days of vacation in Haldoria. Tomorrow, let’s go to the beach,” Yolanda said, showing Adriana a travel guide with local attractions.

Adriana nodded. “Okay. I’ll have Tom drive us there.”

Yolanda nodded. “Thanks.”

At 9 p.m., Yolanda took Adriana out for a late–night snack. Kenneth came to pick her up.

“Mr. Lincoln called you, but you didn’t answer. He was worried,” Kenneth whispered.

Finished

Adriana froze for a moment. She hadn’t had any signal while they were eating. “I’ll call him back right away.”

After sending Yolanda back to the hotel, Adriana immediately called Curtis.

“Where did you go today?” Curtis’s tone was low and heavy, but he didn’t scold her. His voice was deep, yet gentle.

“The flight attendant I met on the plane, Yolanda—we’re friends now,” Adriana said softly. “We planned to go to the beach together tomorrow.”

Curtis was silent for a long time, probably at a loss for words.
