Chapter 58 The Other Man
Curtis' screen name on WhatsApp was The Other Man!
Adeline couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Curtis, however, said in a serious manner, "I thought it's better to keep my two identities separate. Different identities say different things. For example..."
Before Curtis could finish, Adeline's cell phone rang.
She subconsciously glanced at it and found that Curtis had sent her a message from his main WhatsApp account, "Mrs. Riley, that's a nice dress you're wearing today."
Adeline's cheeks instantly flushed.
She clicked on the icon and added Curtis' new WhatsApp account as a contact directly in WhatsApp. She felt like she was having an affair.
Curtis flirted with her on his main WhatsApp account and wooed her on his alt account called The Other Man. Adeline had no idea Curtis was so good at flirting with girls!
After that, Adeline followed suit and sent Curtis the same message on WhatsApp, "Mrs. Riley, that's a nice dress you're wearing today."
Adeline's face flushed again.
Blushing, she couldn't help but ask, "What are we going to do after eating?"
Curtis thought for a moment. "Miss Burton, maybe we can go on another date another time. "
Adeline froze for a moment before she reflected on this and nodded politely. "Okay, see you next time." Property belongs to Nôvel(D)r/ama.Org.
They walked out the restaurant door. Adeline thought that Curtis would take her home, but Curtis only called a cab for her.
Adeline thought to herself, "Curtis is really acting like it's a blind date."
But soon after, Curtis sent her message on WhatsApp under the identity of her husband, "I wanted to take you home, but... There's something wrong with my dog, and I'm going to pick him up. Wait for me. You'll see the dog tonight."
Adeline returned his message, "Okay." She was vaguely looking forward to it.
She had always wanted a fluffy, pampered dog.
She didn't expect this wish to come true after marrying Curtis.
Adeline parked her car in front of the house. Adeline felt a little full and took a walk around the neighborhood. She was going to take a walk to the back door of the neighborhood before going home to sort of help with digestion.
But she regretted it after a short way up the slope.
It was quiet and dark. Maybe because she was so nervous, she always felt that someone was sneaking up behind her.
Adeline turned back and really saw men's figures. It seemed there was more than one man!
There were three men behind her!
Adeline's heart started to tremble, and she was thinking calmly.
Adeline was two-thirds of the way there. There was a security guard at the back door of the neighborhood, and she could call for help. But if she walked backward right now and provoked that three guys, she would not be able to run to the intersection easily instead, so just she continued to walk forward.
She pretended to be calm and called Curtis.
As soon as the call was connected, she deliberately said in a loud voice, "Huh? Honey, are you coming to pick me up? No need, it's just a few steps to the back door. What? You're already on your way here."
Several men behind Adeline exchanged glances and secretly yelled out inwardly, "Something unexpected has happened!"
One of the men owed a loan shark. Alexander, Victoria's nephew, promised him that if he took Adeline captive, the loan shark he owed would be canceled.
He made up his mind and said to his two companions, "Go! Pull her into the car right now! Or else we'll never get a chance!"
The three guys rushed forward, and Adeline slammed her handbag into the face of the man who rushed up to her, bellowing, "What are you trying to do to me?"
"What? Someone tried to kill you and hired us to kidnap you." The head of the gang touched his face, which was hit by Adeline's handbag, spat once deftly out of the corner of his mouth, and rushed up to Adeline, pulling her hair.
"Bitch, you just lied to us on purpose, didn't you? Where's your husband?"
"I'm right here. You let go of her."
On the dark night of winter, a chilly wind whipped by, but the three goons realized that the voice of the man behind them was terribly colder than the chilly wind!
The leader of those goons was so scared that he let go of Adeline's hair.
Then Adeline rushed to get behind Curtis.
A couple of goons turned to look at Curtis and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
They thought to themselves, "A cripple? How dare a cripple yell at us?"
