“Damn, what’s with your moral sense now? He hasn’t even gotÂ
the divorce certificate yet, and he’s already sent out weddingÂ
invitations with Amanda.”Â
Adelaide drank water, saying nothing.Â
“Okay, I got you. Anyway, there’s only twelve days left. AfterÂ
getting the marriage certificate, you can go find a CEO wife toÂ
date.”Â

Adelaide got choked. If there was a pillow next to her, sheÂ
would have thrown it without hesitation.Â
“You do your own thing, I’m gonna go sketch.”Â
Teresa’s eyelids were twitching like crazy, “Did I really go all outÂ
on the sketches to repay Reginald’s kindness?”Â
“Yeah, bring it on.”Â
Teresa put her hand on her forehead and said, “It’s hopeless.”Â
Adelaide sketched until late at night, then got up the next day toÂ
eat breakfast made by Teresa, and happily went to work.Â
But halfway there, Evelyn’s sudden phone call gave her a badÂ
Chapter130Â
feeling.Â
“Hello, Madam Barnard.”Â
“Adele, did I disturb you?” Evelyn, as always, was kind, just her voice sounded a bit tired.Â
“No, I wasn’t busy yet.” Adelaide cut to the chase, “MadamÂ
Barnard, why did you call me so early? Is there somethingÂ
wrong?”Â
Seeing her speak, Evelyn let out a sigh and said, “I actually feelÂ
embarrassed to call you, but I really have no other choice.“”Â
“Yesterday we found out he got injured, so we rushed to theÂ
hospital. That idiot kid somehow picked a fight with his dadÂ
again, saying he won’t divorce you. Amanda couldn’t handle theÂ
shock and attempted suicide, now both of them are staying inÂ
the hospital.”Â
“Adele, I didn’t mean anything else. Can you come over and justÂ
do whatever it takes to make him change his mind aboutÂ
divorce?”Â
Adelaide hinted, “Madam Barnard, Garrett saw me, maybe evenÂ
worse.”Â
Evelyn choked up, “No matter what, Adele, can you please helpÂ
me this time for my sake? I can’t handle it anymore, I don’t wantÂ
to see them father and son like this forever.””Â

She could understand, even though Cornelius and Evelyn hadÂ
been angry with Garrett many times, after all, he was their ownÂ
son.Â
Don’t look at the hated face, look at the Buddha’s face.Â
Adelaide softened up, not because she still had feelings forÂ
Garrett, but for Evelyn.Â
“Ok, I’ll come over at noon.”Â
Evelyn was overjoyed: “Okay, okay, you go ahead, I’ll wait forÂ
you at noon.”Â
The phone hung up, and only then did Evelyn look at her son onÂ
the hospital bed, who was already full of anticipation. SheÂ
couldn’t bear to watch. “Adele, I’ve called him for you, but this isÂ
your last chance.”Â
“If Adele still insists on divorcing you, then you better waitÂ
patiently for the cooling–off period to pass and then go get theÂ
divorce certificate, got it?”Â
Garrett confidently said, “Don’t worry, Mom. Adele must stillÂ
have me in her heart, otherwise why would she agree to come.”Â
Evelyn couldn’t be bothered to talk.Â
We’ll find out at noon whether Adelaide is a softie or not.Â

After finishing up the morning tasks, Adelaide made up anÂ
excuse and didn’t go out to eat with Mara and the others.Â
Arriving at the sixth floor of the hospital, Evelyn was waitingÂ
outside the elevator.Â
“Adele.”Â
Adelaide was surprised: “Madam Barnard, you didn’t have to wait for me here in person!”Â
Evelyn smiled and patted her hand, “Not long after, have youÂ
eaten?”Â
“Yeah, I’ve eaten.”Â
“I heard you started working at Orvenix Group, you’ve neverÂ
worked before, are you getting used to it?”Â
“Used to it.”Â
