Chapter 46 Adeline, My Mother has Promised Our Marriage before My Business Trip
As saying so, Logan cleared his voice nervously and he adjusted his bow tie. He asked the people next to him again and again, "Is it OK?"
When others showed him a gesture of "OK". He looked at the camera with giggle.
"Adeline, I always want to propose to you on your birthday. All through the companion of three years, which is one thousand and ninety-five days, I am sure that you are my soulmate which I want to spend the rest of my life with. Adeline, I know that you are angry about me for not contacting you such a long time."
Logan laughed out as he said so. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
"These were all taught by my junior schoolmate. She said it was a surprise before my proposal. First I needed to neglect you. When the date of my proposal arrived, you would feel more surprised.
Adeline, please be at ease. My proposal this time is carefully considered. And before me business trip, I have already talked with my mother. I told her that we would get married after this business trip. She has agreed. So..."
Logan smiled shyly and called "Adeline" gently. Then he got down on one knee.
"Are you willing to marry me?"
Logan's eyes were full of good faith in the projector screen.
All around, the wind played the sound of bells on the sycamore trees, and everything was like being in a dream.
Adeline's heart was heaving violently.
At the moment when Logan got down on his knee, her heart seemed to be hit by the sledge hammer of an ancient clock, and her breathing suddenly accelerated.
All the colleagues in the office were calling out.
"Marry him!"
"Marry him!"
Even Oscar Jones who was an old man wore a big smile on his face. He clapped and said, "Marry him! Marry him!"
The only consciousness existed in Adeline's mind made her shake her head. She stumbled a few steps back and said, "No... I can't. I can't."
The happy atmosphere disappeared immediately, just like someone pressed the pause button.
Adeline left the research laboratory like crazy. Only Logan's colleagues were left there looking at each other.
No one knew what went wrong.
Adeline ran all along the way. She even did not know she passed Hannah, who was recording video secretly.
She only knew that she had to leave there then.
She ran and ran. The wind whistled in her ears. And she also heard other kinds of sound.
Like the words Melissa once said to her.
Melissa said, "Some people will try to give you a surprise with the method of holding out on you. When you find out it is a surprise for you getting off work. You will be touched deeply."
Then she heard Logan's voice.
"Adeline, I want to give you a ceremonious proposal."
"Adeline, I am sure that you are my soulmate."
"Adeline, it is your birthday today. Would you marry me?"
"Adeline, please relax. My mother will help me taking care of you."
"Adeline, after I come back from this business trip, I will marry you."
...
All the voices rushed into Adeline's ears. She finally squatted down beside the river uncontrollably and cried bitterly.
It turned out that Logan was going to propose to her on her birthday.
It turned out that Logan had discussed with Victoria that he would marry her after his business trip. So Victoria couldn't wait to make her marry Curtis.
She hated her!
She hated Victoria so much!
She also hated her fate!
But what could her hatred do?
Those things that had happened could not be changed. Logan and her wouldn't be together again then.
Adeline felt her heart hurting so much. She even couldn't breathe.
Logan called her again and again.
She rejected again and again. At last she switched her phone off. She sat beside the river dully.
Adeline cried and cried. It seemed that she had cried out all her tears, then she calmed down.
She sat at the same place, thinking for a long time. Then she turned on her phone and called Logan back.
"Logan, I have got married."
Logan on the other end of the phone paused for a moment. He then said, "That's impossible. Adeline, I know that your are angry with my business trip. You must be saying these on purpose to irritate me."
"Logan, listen to me. We are done. It is my problem. I should tell you earlier about this. But this thing happened so fast and I was not ready to tell you. I forgot to tell you about this. We always lack formal farewell."
Pausing for a while, Adeline spoke calmly, "Listen, Logan, we are done. The day you started your business trip..."
Before Adeline finished her words, Victoria who just saw the proposal video sending by Viola rushed to Adeline and took her phone away.
She screamed loudly, "What are you talking about to Logan? You are talking about something bad about me to him, right?"
As she said so, Victoria explained to Logan who was at the other end of the phone call. She said, "Logan, don't listen to Adeline! I have done nothing! Trust me!"
A few moments later, Logan's confused voice came, "Mom... what are you talking about? Adeline said nothing bad about you."
Victoria knew that she confessed without being pressed. She was so guilty that her face paled then she lied to Logan, "Mommy has to talk with Adeline for something important. I need to hang up the call first."
After saying so, Victoria hung up the phone call and threw the phone at Adeline violently.
"I have looked down upon you! You have married with Curtis but you still seduced my Logan to propose to you. If it wasn't Viola who told me about the video and I hurriedly came here, are you going to sow discord between me and Logan by telling him it was me who made Curtis marry you? You are so terrible!"
Adeline stared at Victoria with hatred, "Look at you. The disgusting look you confessed yourself is so funny. I sow discord between you and Logan? Weren't you telling the truth just now?"
Victoria ground her teeth and said, "Adeline Burton, you can't tell Logan anyway! Are you thinking about when Logan comes back, he can help with your divorce with Curtis and you two get together again? Don't even think about it!"
Adeline smiled calmly and said, "Just relax. I won't have this dream anymore."
Victoria didn't think that she would answer so and she paused.
Adeline passed her by scornfully. She looked at Victoria indifferently and said, "Though Logan is a perfect person, he has you as his mother. I will not be with him again all my life."
After saying so, Adeline left the river side without looking back.
She wasn't thinking clearly just now. She didn't think that Logan would propose to her on her birthday.
But when she calmed down, she realized clearly that she only had regret to Logan.
Her morality and ethic made her have no other thoughts with Logan forever.
Besides, Logan had Victoria as his mother. She would never be together with him again then.
If marriage was not considered, lived only with a good lover was acceptable. But marriage was different, a woman must have a good mother-in-law.
A picky and crazy mother-in-law would destroy a good marriage and a couple of perfect lovers.
Adeline knew it then. She needed to deal with that problem in a decisive way.
She would clear all the memories with Logan in her heart!
...
In the ward.
Owen went to visit Curtis with eight apples.
He checked his watch as he just arrived in the ward. He said naturally to Steffen, "Have you ate? If not, we can eat together. Remember to order a takeaway for me, by the way."
After saying so, he looked at Curtis and said, "Eh, why are you still looking terrible? Don't be so mean! I just ask for a takeaway! You are suspected to have flu right now. Your bro, I, come to visit you with eight apples. What is it called? This is my very deep friendship to you!"
"Get off!" Curtis gave Owen a sharp eye.
Owen hadn't had the takeaway and he didn't want to get off. He then walked to Steffen and asked, "What is the problem with Mr. Riley? He can't be so irritable just having a cold caused by virus and cannot go back home to accompany his sweet wife, right?"
Steffen dared not to reply him.
Owen widened his eyes and asked, "Are you being grouchy with your wife?"
Seeing that Steffen looking strange, Owen said to himself, "Oh, yes indeed."
As he said so, he walked to Curtis's bed and sat down.
"You can ask me for advice about relationship problem, bro. I am a specialist with it!"
Curtis leered at him lazily, "You?"
"Yes!" Owen rolled up his sleeves as saying so, "I can tell you what the problem is even not knowing what has happened between you and your wife."
"What?"
Owen banged the table slightly and said, "You have never fallen in love!"
Curtis frowned, "But we have married."
"Yes, That is the problem! Other people will fall in love, date and understand each other first before they get married. They will get married naturally after sweet date, the heartbeat for the first hand in hand and first kiss. But you, you get married first ignoring all those processes! How can it be the same? Your relationship doesn't have love as its basis."
Owen expressed his opinions without a break.
At that moment, a sound came from Steffen's phone. There was a new email in his email box.
Steffen clicked to check the new email. Then he was frightened by the video in the email just looking at it.
"Mr. ... Mr. Riley, someone sent Mrs. Riley's video to my email box. Maybe he couldn't find your email address, so he sent it to my email box..."
Hearing that, Curtis felt that something might had happened. He looked at Steffen fiercely and said.
"Show me the video!"
