Fan Husband 74

“I had ulterior motives for you. Do you think he wouldn’t dare 

to do anything to you like this? Adelaide, if there’s a next time, if 

he takes you away before I arrive. I may not be able to rescue 

you in time, trouble that could be avoided, why do you have to 

go near him?” 

Adelaide was caught off guard when he suddenly blurted out 

his attitude like that. 

“Adelaide, speak,” Reginald snapped. 

“That was Teresa’s flower shop,” she explained. 

The man chuckled, “Three women trying to take down a few 

bodyguards, Adelaide, should I say you trust your besties too 

much or you’re just too confident in yourself.” 

Adelaide turned her face away to look out the car 

window again, saying, “I can’t argue with that, he’s always 

right.” 

The car went straight back to Rosecliff Manor. 

Reginald was walking very fast, and Adelaide saw him already in the hallway as soon as she got off the car. Draven was standing at the door, smiling at her, “Ms. Pierce, come on in, 

Chapter74 

dinner is ready“” 

Faced with the invitation from her elders, Adelaide was a bit 

embarrassed. She politely said, “Draven, I have to go back and 

pack my suitcase.” 

“Eating won’t take long, and I even asked the kitchen to make 

Ms. Pierce’s portion.” Draven waved kindly, “Come on, Ms. 

Pierce.” 

Adelaide really couldn’t refuse, so she had to grit her teeth and 

go in. 

Reginald didn’t eat much before he got a phone call and went 

upstairs. Adelaide thought he would come back down to eat, 

but he never did, even after she finished eating. 

Was he angry? 

When Draven was clearing the tableware, he casually said, “Mr. 

Thorton is like that, if he gets interrupted during a meal, he 

won’t be interested in eating anymore.” 

Adelaide was surprised, “Isn’t this bad for your stomach?” 

“Oh, you bet! But Mr. Thorton is as strong as an ox, he gets a 

check–up every year.” 

Is your body made of Iron?

He had a high fever yesterday. 

After saying goodbye, Adelaide didn’t want to go upstairs to tell 

Reginald, so she asked Draven to help pass on the message, and 

then she took a shortcut back to the Sterling Estates with her 

suitcase. 

On the second floor of the villa, Reginald leaned against the 

French window, watching Adelaide’s slow–moving figure walk 

away. 

No conscience… 

Back at the apartment, Adelaide was exhausted by 11 o’clock. 

She rolled over and opened WhatsApp, only to realize she 

hadn’t accepted Abigail’s friend request yet. 

She agreed in just a few seconds, then Abigail unexpectedly 

received a voice call. 

She scared her. 

“Adelaide! How come you only accepted my friend request now! 

I went to the hotel to find you, the front desk said you had 

already checked out, why didn’t you even notify me!” Abigail 

sounded so aggrieved, as if she wouldn’t give up until Adelaide 

gave her a proper explanation. 

Adelaide chuckled, “Mr. Thorton’s new job was too far from the 

hotel, so we moved to a different place.”

“Hmph, didn’t even say a word before going back to Evercrest. 

When my dad told me, you guys had already flown back to 

Evercrest,” Abigail complained a bit and then suddenly 

brightened up, “Oh well, forget it, forget it. I actually have good 

news to tell you.” 

Listening to this, Adelaide could roughly guess what was going 

1. on. 

“What’s the good news?” 

Abigail grinned, “I did as you suggested, and guess what? My dad didn’t actually mean to marry me off right away.” 

Adelaide said, “Congratulations.” 

“You were right to find you.”
