Chapter 114 She Was Tempted by Him
After being busy for more than two hours, everything was almost packed.
“Adele, I am so tired!” Emily sat down on the sofa and gasped for breath.
“I have ordered takeout, your favorite roast chicken and barbecue.” Adele came over with two bottles of mineral water and handed her a bottle.
“Adele, you know me too well! How do you know what I want to eat?” When he heard that there was delicious food, Emily’s eyes immediately lit up and he couldn’t help but shout, “Adele, you know me too well! How do you know what I want to eat?”
Adele smiled and took another bottle of water to Owen. “Ye An, take a rest. I can sort out the rest myself.”
Owen took the water bottle and smiled at her. “It’s just a small matter. There’s no need to be so polite.”
When Adele met the man’s deep gaze, she felt that there was something in his eyes that she could not guess, but it was unusually attractive…
“Adele, how about we open a bottle of champagne today to celebrate?” Emily suddenly said from the side, which made her come back to her senses.
“Okay… okay.”
No matter what, this was the first time she came out to live alone. She really needed to celebrate.
When Emily heard this, she smiled and threw the car key to Owen. “Okay, brother, I’ll give you the car key. I still have two bottles of wine in my car. Go get them.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she felt that Owen was staring at her with cold eyes.
She shivered and quickly changed her words, “I… I’ll get it myself! Brother, you have a good rest!”
If she dared to ruin her brother’s opportunity, she was afraid that she would suffer later.
Hearing this, the corners of Owen’s lips curled up slightly and he said softly, “Go.”
Emily did not expect his face to change so quickly. He curled his lips but did not dare to resist. He immediately went out to get the wine.
Adele was unaware of their reactions. He wiped the table with a rag and then picked up his phone to check where the takeout was sent.
Owen looked up and looked at the woman’s side profile. He could not help but feel a bit more tender.
He still remembered the first time he saw Adele. At that time, he did not know that she was Emily’s best friend. He waited for Emily outside the school gate. He waited for her left and right but could not see her. He saw a young girl walking out briskly.Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!
It had just rained, and the ground was muddy. A white-haired old man stepped into the mud pit. His cloth shoes were stained with a layer of mud. Just when he was embarrassed and helpless, Adele walked forward, took out a tissue, squatted down, and wiped it clean for her.
He could never forget the smile on the girl’s face. It was sunny, pure, and there were not so many complicated things.
“Ding!” The phone rang, indicating that the takeout had been sent to the door. Adele heard it and immediately said, “The takeout has been sold.”
As she said this, she immediately turned around and did not pay attention to her feet. Unexpectedly, she stepped on a piece of plastic cloth. Her feet slipped and she fell backward.
“Ah!”
The next second, she fell into a broad and warm embrace and did not fall to the ground.
“Be careful.”
The man’s magnetic and pleasant voice was heard. Adele opened his eyes and met Owen’s eyes.
She was held in his arms. The two of them were very close. The atmosphere in the room suddenly became warm, and Adele’s cheeks turned red.
The door was pushed open with a “whoosh”, accompanied by Emily’s voice, “We’ve got takeout…”
When she saw the scene in the room clearly, her voice suddenly stopped.
Why was Adele lying in her brother’s arms? Was it progressing so fast?
Adele seemed to wake up from a dream. She quickly stood up, took a step back, and opened the distance between them. At the same time, she nodded at Owen to express her gratitude.
Owen understood and nodded at her. Neither of them spoke.
Emily’s gossip sense swelled at that moment. She slowly walked in, put down the takeout and wine box in her hand, and clicked her tongue at them a few times.
“You… Did I come at the wrong time?” she asked with a faint smile.
“No… Let’s start eating when we get the takeout. I’ll go get a cup.” Adele hurriedly interrupted her.
She was quite embarrassed by what Emily said.
But although she was embarrassed, her heartbeat was normal and did not accelerate…
Owen was excellent in every aspect, but she did not seem to be tempted by him…
Adele bit her lips and walked out of the kitchen before she could figure it out.
They began to eat. The awkward incident just now seemed to have been forgotten. They should eat and drink. The atmosphere was quite good.
Unconsciously, Adele drank two or three glasses of champagne, and his face was covered with a faint blush.
“Adele, there is something I haven’t told you yet…” Emily was also drunk and burped.
“What’s the matter?” Adele asked as he drank to a slightly tipsy state.
“I plan to develop in the country in the future!” Emily grinned.
Hearing this, Adele instantly sobered up a little. “Really?”
After graduating from university, she and Emily separated. She worked and went abroad. Although they had always been in contact, they did not meet often. Now that Emily had returned to the country to develop, it was also a piece of good news for her.
“Really, come, let’s have a toast!” Emily nodded and said with certainty.
Adele also happily raised his glass.
Owen looked at the two drunk women and could not help but smile and shake his head. “Don’t drink too much, you guys…”
The two women looked at each other and smiled. They didn’t listen to anyone. They clinked their glasses and drank it all in one gulp.
When she was almost done drinking, Emily ran to the bathroom. Adele stood up and slowly walked to the window.
The sky outside was completely dark. She looked at the lights outside the window. In addition to her faint drunkenness, she couldn’t help but sigh. “When can I have that lamp that belongs to me?”
Although she hated being urged to marry by Ms. Henderson, she also wanted to find a man who loved her and a small family that truly belonged to her.
Owen walked to her side and looked at the woman’s profile. “Don’t worry, there will be,” he said softly.
“I hope so…” Adele smiled, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
Owen was stunned. He did not know where Adele got the sadness and sadness. After all, in his impression, she had always been that kind and pure little girl.
Owen moved her lips and could not help but whisper, “If you are willing…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Emily had already come out of the bathroom and fell into the sofa. Her head tilted, as if she was about to fall asleep.
Adele turned around and looked at her. Then, she turned to look at Owen. “What did you say?” she asked.
“Nothing. It’s getting late. I’ll take Emily back,” Owen said with a smile.
Adele glanced at Emily who was about to fall asleep on the sofa and nodded at him. “Be careful on your way.”
Owen nodded slightly and turned around to pull the person on the sofa up. Emily was woken up by the noise and mumbled non-stop. She was half-coaxed before she left the apartment.
After sending them off, Adele closed the door with a complicated feeling.
In fact, she had heard what Owen had said just now. She had even guessed what he wanted to say in the latter half of his sentence.
However, her heart did not move for him.
“”
The phone suddenly rang. Adele snapped back to her senses. When she saw the caller ID on the screen, her hands subconsciously tightened.
It was a call from Damon.
