Chapter 78 Impact on the Couple's Relationship

"What exactly happened?" Curtis's sharp gaze locked onto Steffen.

Steffen furrowed her brows, seemed like he was trying to think of how to express himself in a better way.

"Jonathan is not a good person. He relies on his family's wealth and power to assault several girls."

Curtis's gaze intensified and he interrupted Steffen, "I don't want to hear about other women. I only want to hear about my wife's incident."

Steffen swallowed nervously and continued, "I haven't found out all the details yet."

"But I did find out that one time, Mrs. Riley left in a daze with Jonathan from the same hotel."

"At that time, it was Leon who went to pick Mrs. Riley up. It seemed that he even made some agreement with the Morris family... Since then, Mrs. Riley hasn't come to the Western District."

"She hasn't come to the Western District?" Curtis frowned, "He's such a useless man! That's the deal he made with someone like him?"

"After that incident, Mrs. Riley went to see a psychologist. The psychologist has confidentiality principles, so we couldn't investigate the specific details,"

Steffen said with his head down, feeling somewhat afraid to upset Curtis.

It wasn't difficult to guess what had happened in between, according to what Hannah had revealed and the discovery of Mrs. Riley seeking psychological counseling.

Those events undoubtedly touched upon the points that would enrage Curtis.

Steffen instinctively took a few steps back.

The ambiance became awkward for a while, and Steffen caught a glimpse of the veins on Curtis's hand tightening around the wheelchair armrests.

For a moment, he thought Curtis might stand up and rush to the Morris family to tear Jonathan apart.

However, in the next second, those veins gradually relaxed, and Curtis responded in a calm tone.

"Hmm, I see."

Steffen was surprised.

"Is he able to digest all this information just like that?"

Staring at Curtis's back as he wheeled himself into the hospital room, Steffen's expression became more serious.

Curtis truly loved his wife dearly.

He loved her enough to accept everything about her, including her past.

He loved her to the extent that he seemed like a different person now...

Curtis wheeled himself into the hospital room and approached the bedside where Adeline was sleeping. He tenderly reached out and brushed her forehead, running his fingers through her hair.

After some time, Adeline woke up and was startled by the unfamiliar surroundings.

"Don't worry. You're in the hospital."

When Adeline saw Curtis, who stood beside her, she felt relief.

"Since you are awake, drink some soup. Your stomach will feel better," Curtis paused and added, "Your competition is scheduled for tomorrow. Today, you should rest."

"Okay."

Adeline got up and freshened up. Then, she went to the dining table to have breakfast.

Ding! Ding! Ding!

The sound of Adeline's phone receiving a WhatsApp message from Amber came through.

"Ms. Burton, there's something I've been thinking about for a long time, and I've decided to tell you."

"My younger sister, Hannah, heard from your sister about your past incident involving Jonathan violating you. She deliberately went and gossiped to your husband."

"Ms. Burton, I'm really sorry. I couldn't control my younger sister! I hope this incident hasn't affected your relationship with your husband."

"Also, I heard that your husband accompanied you on a business trip to the Western District yesterday. Hannah has a somewhat open personality... Your husband should have returned to his room last night, right?" ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

"Ms. Burton, I mean no harm. I'm just worried that Hannah might cause problems in your marriage. If that's really the case, I am so sorry for that."

Adeline glanced at the WhatsApp message sent by Hannah's sister, and with a cold smile, she replied firmly.

"Ms. Miller, please don't make any false rumors. I was not assaulted by Jonathan."

"As for my marriage, you don't need to worry, Ms. Miller. My husband was with me all night last night."

"However, there is one thing you got right. You are to blame for Hannah's actions."

After sending the WhatsApp message, Adeline ignored her.

She couldn't believe that Ms. Miller had no idea about Hannah's actions!

If she was intending to warn her, why didn't she do it last night? Why she waited until the next morning to tell her about it?

Putting down her phone, Adeline glanced at Curtis and asked, "Did Hannah come to see you?"

"Yes," Curtis replied without any evasion.

Adeline's heart skipped a beat, and she asked anxiously, "So, you have nothing to ask me?"
