Chapter 45 Adeline’s Ex-fiancé Proposed Marriage
Melissa had no class in the first period, so she went to the playground alone.
The more she thought about it, the more she felt that she had to help Mr. Riley!
Between Logan and Curtis, Melissa was on Curtis' side!
Besides, Adeline was married to Curtis, and she also hoped that her best friend would have a good ending with her husband.
Therefore, Melissa sent Steffen a WhatsApp message, "Hey, ask Mr. Riley to see if he knows what day it is today?"
At the same time, Curtis was in the ward and listening to Steffen's report, so he took Steffen's mobile phone and responded himself.
"I'm Curtis."
"Today is Adeline's birthday, and I know."
Melissa was stunned for a moment, she didn't expect Curtis to reply so quickly.
In such a short time, he couldn't cheat. It clearly showed that Curtis knew about Adeline's birthday.
"Then it's great. You know what you have to do."
Curtis replied, "I know."
Melissa was a little startled when she saw Curtis's reply.
That person wasn't as unkind as people in Prodiff said.
At the same time, Curtis in the ward threw the mobile phone to Steffen, and asked with a sullen face, "Have all the clothes been sent home?"
"It's all there and according to your request, all the price tags are cut off, so it won't cause any burden to Mrs. Riley."
"Good." Curtis's expression eased a bit and asked, “When will the blood test result come out? I'm waiting to be discharged from the hospital to celebrate my wife's birthday."
Steffen looked awkward and replied, "The doctor said that since you fell asleep in the morning, you might be infected with the virus. So, you still need to be isolated. The report... Probably won't be out until evening." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
"I was only feeling sleepy this morning!" Curtis was getting annoyed when he heard that Steffen mentioned his falling asleep in the morning and forgetting to open the door for his wife, "Hurry up, tell the director to hurry up. I want to be discharged."
"The director said it won't happen anytime soon. Blood analysis will take time. He also said that if you insist on leaving the hospital, he will call your father."
Hearing that, Curtis's expression was completely dark, "Make the restaurant's reservation first. If the blood report is all right, I can immediately celebrate my wife's birthday with her. I want the cake to be made following the style I chose a few days ago"
"Okay," Steffen responded and dealt with it quickly.
......
At the school, Melissa was relieved after making sure that Curtis knew about Adeline's birthday.
At noon, she went to find Adeline for lunch on time.
The two walked out hand in hand, and when they reached the turning of the stairs, they saw several parents stopping Sophia.
"Ms. Adams, it was us who didn't think carefully before, and wanted to replace Ms. Burton."
"That's right. We didn't expect our children to like Ms. Burton so much."
"Ms. Adams, please let Ms. Burton come back to teach Class A. You see, this is a petition from the parents of the whole class. We are willing to sincerely apologize to Ms. Burton. Billy's mother also signed it. Here are all the signatures of parents for the 45 students in the class."
When Adeline heard those words, she found it ridiculous and smiled.
The previous petition asking the principal to transfer her to another class was also signed by those same parents!
When she heard that the parents of Class A hoped that she could go back to teach the class, she didn't feel moved at all.
Sophia was annoyed by those parents and said, "To be honest, the school has its rules and regulations. What does it look like if we change the teachers randomly like this? Besides, Ms. Burton has already been assigned to Class C. If I am going to transfer her back, it will be unfair to the students in Class C!"
At the same time, some parents retorted, "Why is it unfair to Class C? Class C is a class for students with poor performance, and the best educational resources should be kept in the top class."
Sophia's expression didn't look good and answered, "Ms. Husch, who is teaching Class A now is also very good. She is an outstanding graduate of the normal school."
"But... But her guidance for this composition competition isn't that good! My daughter said that it is much worse than Ms. Burton's guidance!"
"That's right!" A parent responded, "Furthermore, Ms. Burton guided two students from Class C to qualify for finals this time. She is really excellent."
"Winning the competition relies on the student's abilities. The teacher is only an auxiliary. It depends on the kids themselves. Don't you think that Ms. Burton assigned too little homework for the students? Ms. Husch can fulfill your request."
Sophia sternly said, "I will still say the same! We can't change teachers casually. It will affect the stability of students. If you still have any objections, go to the principal."
After finishing speaking, Sophia forcibly left.
Adeline and Melissa also left quietly without listening to it any further.
Along the way, Melissa said happily, "Yes! Aren't they always complaining that you didn't give enough homework? Now, they finally know that you are a treasure. It's too late! But it let Lilly takes advantage of taking over your top class."
Adeline smiled and didn't take it seriously, "I will be unhappy if it's someone else who takes advantage! Since Lilly was our classmate before, I am happy that it's her who takes advantage."
"That's true." Melissa didn't say anything further, but she asked, "By the way, did your husband wish you happy birthday today?"
Adeline turned on her phone and took a look, recalling that he ignored her this morning, she suddenly shook her head in and looked sad.
Melissa didn't seem to believe it. She opened up Adeline's WhatsApp chat list and took a look at it. Then, she comforted, "Some people may want to surprise you. Just hang onto it. He might look like ignoring you now, but he might give you a surprise after you get off work. You're going to have an emotional rebound, and you're going to be overwhelmed."
Adeline looked at Melissa amusedly and asked, "Where did you learn all this?"
Melissa answered confidently, "Just wait for it!"
At lunch, Adeline invited Lilly as well, and the three of them had a simple meal to celebrate.
After three classes in a row in the afternoon, Adeline felt dizzy when school was over.
After finishing marking the papers, the sky was dark.
It was almost six o'clock, and Curtis still didn't call her. Adeline felt an indescribable sadness in her heart.
After thinking about it, she took the initiative to call Curtis and wanted to invite him for dinner.
On the other end, Curtis had just been told by the director that his white blood cell count was abnormal and he had to stay in the hospital for observation. He said bluntly, "I can't go back for dinner tonight. I have something to do."
"Oh." Adeline was stunned for a moment, then she asked again, "Are you coming back tonight? I can prepare supper..."
"I don't know." Curtis's tone was cold.
"Okay, I won't disturb you then."
Adeline hung up the phone, wondering if Curtis was still unhappy because of the stone, and she felt a little aggrieved.
After tidying up the table, she picked up her bag and walked out of the school.
As soon as she walked to the school gate, Mr. Jones of the Prodiff Institute of Cultural Heritage greeted her.
Oscar Jones was Logan's leader. He was a funny and humorous old man. He was wearing a suit and black-rimmed glasses. He looked very educated.
Oscar greeted Adeline warmly when he saw her, "Adeline, it has been a long time. I have been waiting for you. There is an article from the institute that needed your help."
As he spoke, Oscar gestured for her to come with him into the car behind him.
Adeline didn't want Oscar to feel bad, so she got into the car with him.
It wasn't something very difficult after all.
For the articles that were published by the institute before, they would sometimes ask her help to look at the selection of words from the perspective of a language teacher.
After all, that kind of regular publication needed those words with high precision.
Adeline followed Oscar to get into the car.
On their way, Oscar kept praising Logan as a young man with a great spirit of hard work and being a rare good candidate in the institute.
Adeline looked embarrassed along the way and didn't realize that there was a car following them all the time.
The person in the car was Hannah, who was going to the school to ask her sister for the money to repay her credit card.
When she saw that Adeline got into an old man's car, she hurriedly hired a car on the side of the road to chase after them.
Soon after, the car arrived at the Prodiff Institute of Cultural Heritage.
As soon as Adeline got off the car, she felt that the atmosphere was different from before!
The sycamores on both sides before entering the research institute were covered with colorful lights and various "Happy Birthday" and "love" cards.
Those colorful lights and the evening breeze made the surroundings full of a romantic ambiance.
Adeline followed Oscar to walk into the courtyard of the institute cluelessly.
She saw that all the staff in the office were holding heart-shaped balloons of various colors in their hands. They formed a circle with blessing smiles on their faces.
In the center of the courtyard, there was a projection screen as tall as a human.
After two sizzles, Logan appeared on the screen.
He was wearing a black suit with a red bow tie, holding a bouquet of roses in his hand, and behind him was his current archaeological site.
"Adeline."
Logan smiled but looked serious at the same time.
