Unexpectedly Sweet Flash Marriage novel Chapter 81

Chapter 81 The Annoyingly Playfulness of Mr. Riley

In just a moment, Adeline's cheeks turned crimson, too embarrassed to look up at Curtis.

"In that case, I want to sincerely apologize to you. The first time, I must have scared you, right? That time was my fault."

Adeline pursed her lips and spoke softly, "No... no need to apologize, it's not your fault."

"No, it's my fault as your husband. I didn't make you fall in love with that feeling during the following two times too. I didn't do well, and I need to continue to work on it."

Hearing that, Adeline's cheeks burned even hotter, and she lowered her head as much as she could.

She hurriedly reached out to cover Curtis's mouth, "You don't need to say anything."

Curtis moved her hand away, lightly pecking her blushing cheek, a pleased smile forming on his lips.

"Mrs. Riley, please be rest assured. Leave this matter to me. I will take responsibility for healing your psychological issues in the future."

Adeline was feeling extremely shy.

She was somewhat regretful about being so open with Curtis, but then again, not entirely regretful.

After their heartfelt conversation, Adeline felt that her understanding of Curtis had deepened, and her fondness for him was continuously growing.

Especially the phrase "You don't seem like someone who wouldn't report the incident," struck her mind like a blow!

Of course, Curtis had no idea what Adeline was thinking about. He then took out a specially made keychain and gave it to her.

It was a palm-sized "flashlight" that was easy to grip and could be hung on a keychain, making it very convenient to carry around.

"Adelie, keep this for now. When we get back to the apartment, I'll teach you some basic self-defense techniques."

Adeline toyed with the "flashlight" and asked, "Is this for me to use as a flashlight?"

"No, it's a specially made stun baton for your self-defense."

Hearing "stun baton," Adeline was startled, "But what if it accidentally electrocutes someone to death?"

"No worries, I have your back!" Curtis's voice was resolute and sounded more like a promise.

Adeline's heart trembled, feeling once again enticed by Curtis's words.

She played with the "mini stun baton" in her hand and asked with a hint of disbelief, "Are you sure this won't kill someone?"

"I promise you, it won't! It just gives a tingling sensation when the electric current passes through the person's body, making them unable to grab you, and it gives you time to escape," Curtis explained.

Adeline followed the nurse to get the examination.

After the examination, they found no issues, and she was discharged from the hospital.

The next morning, it was Adeline's turn to give a lecture on stage.

She performed very well.

She got the first place in the written test and teaching practicals. Adeline only needed to get through the afternoon interview to secure the top spot in the city competition.

In the afternoon, Adeline confidently walked onto the stage. Underneath, as a special guest, Curtis waved to her.

However, that scene caught the attention of Rebecca, who was watching the surveillance. Her face turned sour and dark.

During the competition, the judging panel asked Adeline several questions, and she answered all of them fluently.

But when it came to the last question, one of the judges looked at the information in his hand and raised his doubts.

"Ms. Burton, your performance in your field has been outstanding. By all rights, you should have secured first place in the competition. However, our competition committee has also received an anonymous report about you."
