Adeline just smiled, without nodding or shaking her head.
Anyway, he had already made up his mind, so her attitude didn’t matter animore,
As for the children…
The child had long gone, but he still didn’t know.
To show her gratitude, Mariah invited Adeline and Brent to have a meal together. When they arrived at the designated restaurant, the dishes had just been served when Brent’s phone rang again.
He first pointed at his phone towards Adeline, got up, and walked towards the other side, “You guys go ahead and eat, I’ll go answer a phone call.”
Adeline just wanted to have a quiet meal, but Mariah had other plans and didn’t want to let her have her way.
She looked at Adeline, who was eating silently with her head down, and suddenly spoke, “You see, even though he has already given it to you, as long as it’s something I want, he will still give it to me.”
“Little sister, don’t you give up yet? Now, be sensible and have an abortion and leave on your own, so you can still save some dignity for yourself. If you insist on waiting until Brent gets tired of you and kicks you out, on that day, you will become a laughingstock in the entire circle.”
Adeline frowned, feeling that Mariah was very noisy.
She couldn’t understand how someone could still be entangled with another person, knowing full well that they were already married, and even dare to berate the person’s spouse.
“Have you said enough? Adeline finally lifted her head, but her reaction was completely different from what Mariah had imagined.
No sadness, no grievances, not even anger.
She was somewhat unwilling and was about to say something when she caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye. That originally arrogant expression immediately changed, and she picked up the scalding soup on the table and poured it onto herself.
After a cry of surprise, Brent hurriedly arrived and ran to Mariah’s side. She also fell into his arms, and he firmly caught her.
Immediately, she looked up, her eyes filled with tears, and her face was full of grievances.
“Brent, don’t blame Adeline. It’s normal for her to feel upset since you gave the house to me
The voice of grievance, but suppressed and not expressed, along with that pitiful expression, instantly made Bront feel heartache. Until this moment, Adeline finally stood up and looked straight at him, saying, “It wasn’t me, I didn’t splash her.”
“Adele, even if you didn’t want to, you shouldn’t have resorted to violence!”
Brent’s eyes clearly showed distrust, but seeing Mariah’s pale face, he couldn’t continue lecturing and hastily picked her up before leaving
Adeline did not go to the hospital but instead went home alone. When Brent came back, it was already very late. When he looked at her, his face rarely turned cold, but he still patiently persuaded her to give in
“Mariah was severely burned, you need to go apologize to her.”
But she stubbornly shook her head, repeating the same sentence, “I didn’t splash her, and I won’t apologize.”
Brent furrowed his brow and couldn’t help but utter a few accusations.
“You were too unruly, after all, Mariah is my friend…”
Were they just friends, or something more?
Adeline stared at him fixedly and swallowed back the words that were about to slip out, “If you don’t believe me, then let’s check the surveillance footage.”
Brent thought she was just throwing a tantrum like a child, so he no longer tried to persuade her and instead grabbed her and headed towards the door. She realized that he wanted to take her directly to the hospital to apologize, but she hadn’t done anything wrong, so why should she apologize? She struggled hard, trying to shake off his grip on her hand. Amid her struggle, Brent let go of her hand, but due to inertia, Adeline fell straight backward

Adeline’s forehead hit the corner of the table hard, and in an instant, blood gushed out. Under the intense pain, she felt something slide down from her forehead, obstructing her vision, and leaving only a crimson color.
“Adele!”
Brent didn’t expect such a thing to happen, and for a moment, he panicked and quickly picked her up and got into the car, mushing towards the hospital.
