Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

She didn’t want Damon to go out with half of his swollen face. The neighbors would probably think that she was the one who hit him.

She took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, “I’ll help you apply the medicine before you leave.”

A light flashed through Damon’s eyes as he looked up at her, seemingly confused by her reaction.

Adele gritted her teeth and pretended to be calm as she explained, “It’s not appropriate for you to leave like this.”

Hearing her say this, Damon also realized. He paused and no longer refused. He walked to the chair and sat down.

Adele unscrewed the lid and squeezed the ointment to her slender fingertips. She walked to Damon’s side and hesitated for a moment. Then, she slowly applied the medicine to the red swelling on his face.

The fingertip slowly circled along the red swelling. The strength was very light, but inevitably, there was still some pain.

This slap from Old Madame was not light.

Damon’s eyebrows tightened. He felt the slight pain in his cheek. The tip of his nose was surrounded by the cool smell of the ointment. It also mixed with the sweet smell of a woman.

Adele tried to apply the ointment evenly. After doing all this, she gently leaned over and blew on the wound.

When she was a child, every time she was injured, Ms. Henderson would do it like this. She would apply ointment on her and blow on it.

Damon seemed to have not expected that she would suddenly come close. He only felt that the pain on his face immediately eased a lot with the blow. But for the next second, his heart was in chaos, and even his back involuntarily tightened.

The tip of his nose was surrounded by the sweet scent of the woman’s body. Damon’s heart was burning, and there was an indescribable heat.

Did this woman know how dangerous this action was!

Before he could come back to his senses, Adele had already straightened up. She screwed the lid back and said lightly, “Alright.”

Damon came back to his senses and unconsciously frowned. Then, he stood up.

“Ben and the others are still waiting for you outside.” Adele casually put away the ointment, and her tone was a bit cold as she gave the order to leave.

Hearing this, Damon turned to look at the side of her face, and his expression was a little gloomy.

Was she in such a hurry to chase him away? Was it so difficult for him to stay in the same room with her?

In the next second, he unconsciously reached out and grabbed the woman’s wrist. He took a step forward and pushed her directly to the table.

Adele was suddenly blocked in front of the table. The man’s two arms were pressed against her on both sides, forming a closed circle. She could not escape.

“What are you doing?” she asked in a panic.

Damon’s dark and deep eyes carried a bit of inquiry, and he was no longer as calm and cold as he usually was.

“Adele, do you have feelings for me?” he asked, lifting his lips.

Otherwise, why would she have applied medicine for him?

Although he was asking a question, his tone was indeed certain.

Looking at the man’s eyes, Adele panicked. She looked away and smiled to hide her nervousness. “Aren’t you too confident?”

Why did he think that she had feelings for him? Hadn’t she been hurt enough by him?

She took a deep breath and said word by word, “I have no feelings for you at all. I just applied medicine for you because of Grandma.”

Damon’s face suddenly sank, as if he was trying to figure out the credibility of the woman’s words. He stared into her eyes and asked, “Really?”

She said that she had no feelings for him at all, but why did he see hesitation and reluctance in her eyes?

Adele turned around and met his gaze fearlessly and she said with certainty. “Really.”

Hearing this, Damon’s eyes darkened. He paused, released her, and took a step back.

It seemed that he was overthinking things.

Sweeping a glance at the woman, Damon restrained the emotions in his eyes, turned around, and walked out immediately.

Since that was the case, they might as well end it here.

Watching the man’s figure disappear in front of the bedroom door, soon there was the sound of the door closing again. Only then did Adele’s tense body relax. She gasped for breath. Thinking of his gaze just now, she couldn’t help but feel a chill down her spine.

Whether she had feelings for him or not, in fact, she herself was not sure. The only thing she knew was that she had strong resentment toward him.

Perhaps it was a little bit of attachment after so many days of getting along together, but all those feelings should be completely over today.

Thinking of this, Adele actually breathed a sigh of relief.

She leaned against the table, staring blankly alone, not knowing how much time had passed.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the door, and the door was pushed open. Ms. Henderson poked her head out and looked inside the room.

“Adele, have they all left?”

“Yes.” Adele nodded weakly.

Ms. Henderson did not know the specific reason. She thought that both Damon and Old Madame had come to ask her to go back, so she asked softly, “Have you changed your mind?”

“No. Mom, it’s impossible between Damon and me.” Adele turned to look at her and said in an unusually certain tone.

Seeing that she spoke with certainty and her tone was certain, a trace of regret appeared on Ms. Henderson’s face.

Originally, she thought that she had finally met a talented and good-looking son-in-law on the blind date, but she did not expect that things would end up like this. She more or less blamed herself in her heart.

Catching the disappointment on her mom’s face, Adele took a deep breath, hesitated for a moment, and said softly, “Mom, don’t worry about me.”NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

She could take good care of herself, and this was nothing to her.

“Mom doesn’t want to see you unhappy every day. After this period of time, we will go to a more suitable blind date.”

Ms. Henderson said and was about to leave the room.

Adele was stunned for a moment and suddenly thought of something. She quickly called her, “Mom, you go arrange it as soon as possible. I am willing to go on another blind date.”

“What?” Ms. Henderson looked at her in surprise.

Back then, in order to convince her to go on a blind date, she had begged her so much. Now, Adele had actually taken the initiative to go on a blind date. This was a first!

“Adele, are you telling the truth?” Ms. Henderson asked again.

Seeing the joy in her mother’s eyes, Adele also smiled and nodded. “Yes,” she said.

She also did not want her to worry so much. Moreover, if she was alone at home, she would think of the matter with Damon. This would make her feel even worse. She might as well go on a blind date.

“I’ll go make a call now and arrange it for you as soon as possible!” Ms. Henderson said happily.

Adele smiled with a hint of bitterness.

She had thought that it would take Ms. Henderson a few days to get it arranged, but as early as the next morning, she had been asked to go for a new blind date.

“Adele, I spent a lot of time and effort to get this one for you. He has just come back from abroad and has only made two girlfriends. He is a very decent young man!”

As Ms. Henderson tidied up Adele’s collar, she was chattering excitedly.

“Mom, are you sure you want me to dress like this?” Adele asked.

She had never been a tame girl, so how could she wear lace clothes?

“You look beautiful in it!” Ms. Henderson nodded in satisfaction and did not forget to remind her, “Don’t mention that you have been married yet.”

“Why?” Adele was stunned and asked.

Was a marriage record something shameful?
