Semua Bab Marrying My Vegetative Husband: Bab 41 - Bab 50

Adeline was about to nibble on more biscuits when she heard footsteps approaching her.  "Boss, I've brought her to you. The payment?" Bob's voice was so loud that Adeline could still hear him clearly through the wall. The client must have answered him, but she must have spoken in a soft voice because Adeline didn't hear the reply. She couldn't make out what was said after that. Not a moment later, the door creaked open. Adeline moved farther away from the door and curled into a ball like an animal would do to protect themselves. "I bet you've never expected this day to come!" Yvette entered the room, and she spat out with a vicious gleam in her eyes. Somehow, Adeline wasn't surprised to see Yvette behind the plot. She pretended to be calm and met Yvette's ferocious gaze with her own, saying casually, "Yvette, just what do you want?" Yvette scoffed and stalked closer to Adeline as she did, "What do I want! Adeline, I simply don't understand why every

"Adeline, shouldn't we report this to the police? We should leave it to the law to give Yvette a lesson!" Chloe asked indignantly. "Well, for one, we don't have any evidence. Besides, even if we did, her parents can always bail her out," Adeline shrugged, knowing that they couldn't do anything substantial to Yvette. Chloe was infuriated, "Then you're just going to let her get away with it?" "Let's just leave it be for now. I'm hungry..." Adeline said, and she winked at Chloe, trying to make her let it go. Chloe couldn't understand the complex relationships among the wealthy families. She wondered why Adeline didn't want to look further into her abduction since she was a part of the Lockwood family. Adeline thought of the masked man she saw moments before she passed out. She was certain that he was the man that had rescued her the day she had been attacked before her wedding. However, she still had no clue who he might be. There were a lot of bizarre 

"So what if they've heard me?" Chloe was unbothered. Adeline leaned closer to Chloe's ear and whispered, "Imagine if they got mad at you and chased you down the streets. They might even throw things at you."  Chloe trembled just at the thought of it. She eyed the people in front of them and smiled wryly, "Well then, forget what I just said. I don't want to be torn into pieces." Adeline grinned at her at that, "Let's go. If we stay out here any longer, we aren't going to make it in."  Then, they wiggled their way through the crowd and strode up to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here to hand in my resume," Adeline said.  "Okay, just leave it here," the receptionist glanced at Adeline and pointed to the tray on the desk. After handing in their resumes, they waited in a lounge for their name to be called out for the audition.  The lounge was filled with many other girls, all waiting for their turn to audition. Some of the girls began to touch up their

Adeline's heavy eyelids struggled open, but the glare of the sunlight was making it difficult. Suddenly, her phone she put on the nightstand rang. Adeline reached her hand out and grabbed it. Fumbling, she placed it by her ear and answered gruffly, "Hello?" "Adeline, where are you?" Ronald's voice came from the other side of the phone. Adeline was wide awake instantly. She sat up from the bed and asked softly, "Dad, what's the matter? Why are you calling me so early?" There was a moment of silence before Ronald finally said, "Zoey's engagement party is today. You should come if you're free." "Alright, Dad. I'll be there later." "Okay, then. See you soon," the call ended quickly. Adeline stared at her phone in a blank daze and wondered if Ronald was worried that she might not show up for Zoey's engagement party.  Then, all of a sudden, Adeline felt a cool breeze brushed against her back. She looked downwards at herself, and she could

Meanwhile, Zoey was hiding behind a bush nearby all the while, and she witnessed the exchanges between Sebastian, Adeline, and Ethan. She glared at Adeline with resentment, clenching her hand so tight that she crushed the twigs to pieces. She wanted to go and ask Sebastian why he still held Adeline in his heart, even though he was getting engaged with Zoey. She wanted to know why he just wouldn't see how much she loved him. Zoey thought that Adeline wasn't any better than him in any way! As she was deep in her thoughts, someone lightly patted her shoulder. She turned around and almost burst into tears when she saw who it was, "Mom, why does Sebastian still love Adeline? I've tried everything to get him to like me... I really hate feeling like this." Helen was heartbroken to see Zoey weeping in despair. She pulled Zoey into her arms and said, "Baby, don't cry! It doesn't matter if he still likes Adeline. You're the mother of his child! I'm sure Sebastian will eventuall
