Chapter 92 To Defend Her Brother's Romantic Relationship

When she saw Adeline's face turning pale, Olivia quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Oh, please don't mind my words, Adeline... I was just kidding!"

Curtis warned Olivia with a glare.

Olivia hurriedly smiled, "Fine, I get it! Adeline isn't officially part of the family yet, so you should treat her well as a guest. But I'm already a part of the family, so there's no need for you to treat me so formally, right?"

Steffen was totally speechless.

Steffen couldn't believe it, Olivia was completely clueless about the relationship between Curtis and Adeline.

As she spoke, Olivia raised the Japanese sake in her hand, "Come on, I suggest we each share something happy and raise a toast! I'll go first... Well, here to celebrate the fact that I'm back!"

Adeline raised her glass and lightly clinked it with Olivia's.

Curtis didn't raise his glass and said in a calm tone, "Your return isn't something to celebrate."

Olivia pouted and coquettishly asked, "Uncle Curtis, you're not happy that I'm back?"

"Yeah, not really."

Olivia was speechless with Curtis's reply.

Oh well, that was just how Curtis was.

To cover up the awkwardness, Olivia asked Adeline to share something worth celebrating.

Adeline raised her glass and looked at Curtis and Steffen, "Well, I got the notification that I secured the first place in the city's competition. The academic department also informed me of a raise, and I've been promoted to the head of the language research group."

Curtis lifted his glass and proactively clinked it with Adeline's, "Congratulations, Ms. Burton."

Steffen also raised his glass, "Congratulations, Ma..."

Curtis glanced at Steffen.

Steffen quickly corrected himself, "Ma... Marvelous!"

Adeline breathed a sigh of relief.

But throughout the whole process, Olivia remained completely oblivious to the others' reactions.

Steffen was speechless as he found out Olivia was exceptionally careless and insensitive.

After the four finished their barbecue, they planned to head back.

In the car, Olivia casually asked, "Adeline, where are you living now?"

Adeline's face froze, and she heard Curtis calmly answer.

"She's living with me now."

Olivia was dumbfounded. She looked at Adeline sitting on her left, then at Curtis on the right.

Steffen, who was driving ahead, was in total shock.

Hahaha, this was getting interesting!

Adeline gulped in anxiety and nervously clenched her small hand.

After a while, Olivia went, "Oh, I get it now! It must be Uncle Curtis protecting you and making you stay with him for your safety! Oh, he's being all protective of your well-being!"

Saying that, Olivia turned her head towards Curtis, "Thanks, Uncle Curtis. When my brother comes back, I'll make sure he properly thanks you!"

Adeline was stunned.

Curtis didn't know how to respond.

Steffen was speechless as well.

Olivia couldn't read Curtis's expression either. So, she blinked her eyes at him and coquettishly said, "Uncle Curtis, I want to sleep with Adeline. Come on, just let me stay with you. I came back secretly this time, and my mom doesn't know."

"No, go stay in a hotel!" Curtis firmly refused.

"Why not?" Olivia's voice raised a bit, "Why can Adeline stay with you but I can't? Technically, aren't we even closer as relatives?"

Olivia was known for speaking her mind without thinking.

After blurting that out, she felt it might not have been the best thing to say and turned to comfort Adeline.

"Oh Adeline, please don't overthink my words. I didn't mean it that way. I meant, from a relative's standpoint, I should be closer to Uncle Curtis than you are, as you haven't yet married my brother." © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

Saying that, Olivia looked back at Curtis with a puzzled expression.

Curtis remained composed, "I'll book a hotel for you, and Steffen can take you there later."

"I'm not going! Hotels are not as comfortable as staying with family!"

With that said, Olivia firmly held onto Adeline's arm, "Anyway, I don't care. Wherever Adeline goes, I'll go! I'm not going to a hotel! Besides, this time I came back with a grand mission."

Curtis's brows furrowed, "What's the reason for your return this time?"

Olivia raised her chin, "Of course, I came back to defend my brother and Adeline's relationship!"

"I want to personally expose the man who's trying to snatch Adeline away when my brother isn't around!"

Steffen was dumbfounded.

Oh boy, this was going to be entertaining!

Curtis's expression turned serious.
