Chapter 91 Thought You Liked My Sister-in-law!
Curtis and Adeline were both taken aback.
They never expected Olivia to suddenly show up here!
The atmosphere turned awkward in an instant.
Olivia's gaze kept shifting between Curtis and Adeline. Suddenly, she slammed the car door hard, and it caused a loud noise.
"Oh... I know it!"
She drew out her words, and looked at Curtis and Adeline with a strange look.
Adeline felt the way Olivia looked at her was actually morally torturing her.
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Adeline lowered her head. She still had some unresolved feelings about her engagement to her fiancé's uncle.
It was just her nature to be that way.
"Oh, I know... I know!" Olivia repeated, "I heard that before my brother went on a business trip, you ran into some jerk of a director, right? So, now you let Uncle Curtis protect you, am I right?"
Steffen, who was sitting in the driver's seat, was speechless.
Olivia smiled confidently and said, "Ah-hah, that must be it! Well, you did the right thing finding Uncle Curtis! Even though he's got a limp, he still holds some sway in Prodiff!"
Saying that, Olivia casually hopped into the car and didn't forget to greet Adeline.
"Hey come on, Adeline, get in!"
Adeline's face stiffened as she glanced at Curtis, and finally bent down to get into the car.
As the car door closed, Olivia exclaimed excitedly, "Uncle Curtis, are you here to take Adeline out for dinner?"
Without waiting for Curtis to answer, Olivia continued.
"That's great! You can treat me too! Consider it a little welcoming gesture from you two elders!"
"Yeah, let's consider it a welcoming gesture from us two elders," Curtis repeated meaningfully.
Adeline secretly chuckled, as she caught the meaning behind Curtis's words.
For some unknown reason, Curtis didn't debunk Olivia's claim. Adeline had no courage to reveal the truth and decided to deal with this situation later.
The car quickly arrived at Sunset Grill.
Once Curtis finished grilling a long piece of Wagyu beef, he handed it to Adeline.
Olivia opened her mouth as she was intended to say something, but ended up swallowing her words.
As Curtis grilled the second and third pieces of meat for Adeline, while Steffen grilled for himself, Olivia became visibly displeased.
"Hey, Uncle Curtis..." Olivia pouted her mouth, "I haven't had any yet!"
"Then grill it yourself! You're twenty-two, don't you have hands?"
"Well, Adeline has hands too," Olivia muttered under her breath.
Finally, Curtis gave in and gave her a small piece of meat.
Olivia pouted even harder, "Adeline got three slices of top-grade Wagyu beef, and mine is just the leftovers. The comparison is so obvious! People who don't know anything would think you like my sister-in-law!"
With that statement, Adeline's heart skipped a beat.
Steffen thought in his heart, "Well, you hit the nail on the head there!"
