Fan Husband 95

Reginald solemnly reminded her, “I take this project very 

seriously, so I will personally supervise you.” 

This left Adelaide speechless. 

Who asked him to help her solve such a big problem as soon as 

he started? 

“Okay, I got it.” 

Adelaide walked out of the office, and Mara came over to her 

desk again. 

“Ms. Pierce, didn’t the boss give you a day off?” 

Adelaide only thought about it when she was asked like that. 

But she wasn’t really planning to ask for time off, she wouldn’t 

go to the Pierce’s place. 

So she tactfully made up an excuse to dodge the past. 

“I called and said I couldn’t help, they told me not to come back 

and cause trouble. Besides, it’s only a few hours before the end 

of the workday, so there’s no need to take another day off.” 

When Mara heard her say that, she couldn’t help but show a

look of sympathy. 

She didn’t say anything, just reassured: “Hmm, everything will 

be fine.” 

Adelaide didn’t care what Mara thought, she only had one thing 

on her mind now. 

Tonight Garrett is coming back to Evercrest, there’s still about 

ten days left until the cooling–off period ends, she can’t guess 

what he’ll do. 

After work she needed to meet up with Cornelius. 

As soon as it was time to get off work, Adelaide hurriedly left. 

She arrived at a quiet tea house and met Cornelius, who had 

been waiting in the private room. 

“Sir Barnard, you’ve been waiting for a long time.” 

“I haven’t been here long either, have a seat,” Cornelius said 

kindly, raising his hand. 

“Thanks Sir Barnard,” Adelaide sat down, and Cornelius poured 

tea for her. 

Adelaide was surprised: “Sir Barnard, I can do it myself.” 

“There’s no one else here, no need to be so formal.” After 

Cornelius poured her tea, he spoke first: “You called me to say 

that jerk was coming back tonight, so I had his brother check on 

him. Turns out it’s true.” 

Adelaide took a sip of tea. 

“Sir Barnard, things have come to this point, actually I just want 

to handle it quietly, don’t want to stir up trouble anymore. So 

after thinking it over, I think it’s better to contact you 

proactively.” 

“Yeah, no problem.” Cornelius felt regret towards Adelaide and 

was furious with his own troublesome son. “You can trust me, I 

promise you, once the cooling–off period is over, I will 

personally take him to the courthouse.” 

After all, there was no way to turn things around. 

The news was out, the invitations were sent, and even the 

wedding venue was booked. 

“Thanks Sir Barnard.” Adelaide finished her tea, “Well Sir 

Barnard, I’m off.” 

“Wait, Adele,” Cornelius called out to her, “I heard you’ve been living on your own lately. I bet you’re eager to be independent. If you can’t find a suitable job, I can have Madam Barnard introduce you to work at her family’s company. How about

that?” 

Adelaide felt grateful inside, “Thanks for Sir Barnard’s kindness, 

I’ve already started working.” 

Upon hearing this, Cornelius was shocked, “So soon?” 

“Yeah.” 

Cornelius didn’t ask much, nodded and said, “Alright, good luck with your work. If you need any help, just let me know.” 

Adelaide finally breathed a sigh of relief as she walked out of 

the tea house. 

Garrett was afraid of his father, cared more about inheritance rights, and believed he dared not disobey Cornelius. 

Adelaide drove to the supermarket on her way back to the Sterling Estates. 

When she was about to start the car again, she unexpectedly received a call from her former vocal coach.
