Chapter 4
Time passed as Mariah and Brent exchanged words, and soon the car came to a stop at the Wilson family mansion. Adeline got out of the car, but Brent remained seated and did not move.
He rolled down the car window and said, “I will be meeting Mariah and another classmate later. Since you are pregnant and it’s not convenient for you to go, you should go back and rest first.”
Without any expected entanglement or inquiry, Adeline turned and entered the villa. However, in
the instant she turned around, the car had already restarted and gradually moved away.
She was mentally prepared for him not to come home tonight, but to her surprise, her phone rang in the middle of the night while she was half asleep.
She took a look and it was an unfamiliar number, but she vaguely guessed who it was.
The phone was answered, and sure enough, the voice on the other end was Mariah’s.
“Brent got drunk, can you come and pick him up?”
After saying these words, Mariah didn’t even give her time to react and hung up the phone directly.
Adeline sat on the bed, staring at the address Mariah had sent for a while, but in the end, she got up
and changed her clothes before leaving.
She also wanted to see what Mariah wanted by deliberately calling her over.
Fifteen minutes later, Adeline arrived at the door of the private room where Brent was, led by the
waiter. The door was not tightly closed, and at a glance, she saw two people in the room in an
intimate posture.
They seemed to be playing a game, Brent and Mariah were eating the same cookie, and as the
surrounding cheers grew louder, the cookie gradually became shorter, and their lips got closer and
closer until the last piece of cookie was completely eaten, but neither of them backed away.
The next second, Brent’s lips landed on Mariah’s, and both of them were momentarily stunned.
Mariah was the first to react, her face blushing, pretending to be shy as she prepared to pull away.
But he seemed intoxicated, and the next second, he forcefully grabbed the back of her head, engaging in a passionate entanglement with her.
The surrounding crowd was cheering loudly, but Adeline outside the private room seemed as if she had just met Brent.
In front of her, he had always been steady, and this was the first time she saw him in such a crazy
state.
With this in mind, she laughed at herself again, Adeline, what is wrong with you? Your husband was kissing someone else in the private room, and you were just standing outside?

She shook her head and prepared to leave, but a figure suddenly chased after her and stood in front
of her.
She fixed her gaze and realized it was Mariah.
Her lips were rosy, and there was a hint of spring in her eyes. “Adeline, you saw that scene just now, didn’t you?”
“Since you’ve seen it, you should know that Brent has always liked me. How could a prodigy like him be interested in a little girl like you? It’s just because your face looks a bit like mine that you’ve caught his attention. I advise you to have an abortion and leave. You wouldn’t want your future child to be like you, waiting at home every day, longing for Brent to come back, would you?”
“Brent will eventually divorce you and marry me one day, if you don’t leave. Don’t come crying to your parents when you get dumped.”
“Did Brent know?”
Mariah waited to see Adeline in a state of frustration, but her first words made Mariah furrow her brow, “What?”
“Is it you, the person with two faces, that Brent has known and liked for years?”
After speaking, she didn’t wait for Mariah’s answer. She walked straight towards the private room, ignoring the sudden silence that fell upon the crowd the moment she entered. She helped Brent up
and walked out.
He was drunk, so drunk that he was unconscious. When he was carried onto the back seat of the car,
he kept muttering Mariah’s name.
She looked at his face and sarcastically said after pause, “Brent, wait a little longer.”
Just wait a little longer, soon we will all be free.

When Brent woke up, it was already the next day. He was momentarily stunned to find himself back home, but due to drinking too much alcohol last night, he had no recollection of what had
happened.
The only person I could ask was the little girl who was applying skincare products in front of the bed, “How did I come back yesterday?”
“I went to pick you up,” Adeline said with a faint expression.
At the words, an indescribable emotion suddenly appeared on Brent’s face, and he asked in a low voice, “Did I… do something inappropriate?”
Adeline calmly glanced at him, shook her head, and then applied lipstick before leaving.
Brent quickly grabbed her, “Where are you going?”

“Go and see Devon.”
Upon hearing these words, Brent’s face darkened, and he pulled her back again, whispering, “Adele, stay away from him in the future, there’s something off about the way he looks at you,”
I thought she would agree directly, but she looked straight at him instead and said, “What’s wrong? Isn’t it the same as the way you look at Mariah?”
“Mariah was my friend.” Brent’s face stiffened as if his thoughts had been exposed, but she still refused to cooperate. “Devon was also my friend.”
He cleared his throat and pressed his forehead, feeling a slight headache, “Adele, I can agree with you on everything else, but on this matter, you have to listen to me. I am a man, so I understand
what men think.”
After speaking, he seemed to want to appease her and went to pull open the drawer next to the bed. “Be good, don’t go, okay? Look, I bought you a gift before I went on a business trip, and today is the
perfect day to give it to you.”
As the drawer was pulled open, perhaps because it was not placed properly, the paper agreement book made a snap sound and fell at Brent’s feet!
