Chapter65Â
After taking a shower, Adelaide lay on the bed, staring at theÂ
ceiling and daydreaming.Â
Can’t help but think about what happened after signing theÂ
agreement with Reginald, he didn’t have any ulterior motives inÂ
the name of work.Â
On the contrary, she was assigned independent projects rightÂ
after joining, and was also encouraged to participate inÂ
competitions. Even though she was hired as a vocal teacher, heÂ
still found ways to get involved.Â
He was like standing behind her, pushing her up the stairs,Â
going higher.Â
He also made it clear to her that she had the ability andÂ
shouldn’t waste it, let alone be a vase that only knows how toÂ
rely on others.Â
Turning over, Adelaide closed her eyes.Â
She seemed to really think Reginald was too out of touch.Â
He was a good boss.Â
In the middle of the night, Adelaide felt so thirsty that herÂ
Chapter65Â
throat was on fire.Â
She couldn’t bear it anymore, so she had to wake up and goÂ
downstairs to find some water to drink.Â
She was quite puzzled, wondering how much spice was addedÂ
to the duck soup at night to make her, a person who is usuallyÂ
cold, feel so heated.Â
After finishing the water, she found some ice cubes in theÂ
freezer.Â
Then I started chewing.Â
Chewing too much, she had no idea that someone was standingÂ
at the kitchen door staring at her in a strange way.Â
“Adelaide?”Â
The crunching sound of biting ice suddenly stopped, Adelaide looked up abruptly, with a mix of surprise and bewilderment, staring at the tall figure in front of her.Â
Reginald’s face went blank for a few seconds. If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes that she was putting ice in her mouth, just by hearing the sound, he would have thought she was bitingÂ
bones.Â
“What’s wrong with you?” Reginald asked in surprise, his face filled with concern as he hurried over and crouched in front ofÂ
Chapter65Â
her. “Why are you eating ice cubes? Are you running a fever?”Â
In the middle of the conversation, he reached out and touchedÂ
Adelaide’s forehead.Â
The temperature was normal.Â
Then he was even more puzzled, and could only come to oneÂ
conclusion, “Is eating ice cubes in the middle of the night yourÂ
little quirk?”Â
The ice in her mouth had melted into water. AdelaideÂ
swallowed twice and shook her head, “No, it’s smoke coming outÂ
of my throat.”Â
“I’m thirsty, what are you eating ice cubes for?!” Reginald tookÂ
away the box of ice cubes. “It’s fall now, Adelaide.”Â
“Wait, wait, wait.” Adelaide acted quickly to stop Reginald fromÂ
putting the box back in the fridge. She sheepishly explained, “IÂ
overdid it with the late–night duck soup, drinking water didn’tÂ
help, so I thought I’d have some ice cubes.”Â
After hearing that, Reginald couldn’t help but recall dinner.Â
Because Adelaide said the chicken soup was so good, the butler kept serving it to her. If he remembers correctly, she drank halfÂ
of that pot of chicken soup all by herself.Â
It’s not Adelaide’s fault, she always loved soup, plus she couldn’tÂ
Chapter65Â
refuse the offer at that time.Â
“I respect you,” Reginald admitted, “but eating ice cubes in theÂ
middle of the night is not good for your health.”Â
“No worries, I’ll just have two more pieces,” Adelaide reachedÂ
out to grab two more, but Reginald had already put the boxÂ
back in the fridge.Â
“Wait outside, I’ll figure something out for you.”Â
With that, he naturally walked towards the shelf where theÂ
ingredients were placed.Â
Adelaide was still staring at the fridge.Â
