Chapter 217 Protecting
Looking at the contract that was handed over, Adele was slightly startled. She flipped through it and was slightly shocked when she saw the terms written on it that the A party had to bear the cost of the B party’s father’s surgery.
She frowned and her face was a little green. She looked at Damon and asked, “What is this?”
“A contract that is beneficial to both of us.” Damon moved her lips and said in an indifferent tone.
“I will bear all the fees for the teacher’s surgery. As long as you can do the rules on the contract.”
Hearing him say this, Adele’s face immediately turned cold. Her hand that was holding the document tightened slightly. She bit her lips and said, “Is this considered a package?”
She had seen similar plots of movies and TV dramas before. Some female characters signed such contracts because they needed money. Both sides took what they needed.
She never thought that she would experience such a thing one day.
“Not really.”
“You need money to do the surgery for my father. I need you to help me put on an act in front of my grandmother,” Damon said with a serious expression.
“Why?” Adele frowned and asked in confusion.
“Because you were the one who married me, and my grandmother liked you very much. I need you to appease her during the time when her health is not good. So, you just need to cooperate with me to act. That’s all,” Damon said slowly.
Seeing that Adele did not say anything for a long time, Damon said lightly, “This is for the sake of my grandmother’s health. If you are not willing, I will not force you.”
After thinking for a moment, Adele bit her lips and confirmed again, “Is this really necessary?”
“According to the contract, it will last for a year.” Damon nodded slightly.
Adele was silent and her hands were intertwined. Her heart was extremely tangled.
She didn’t know whether she should agree or not. If she signed it, the burden on her family would be reduced a lot, and this was also for the sake of her grandmother. She had already said that she would agree to any of his conditions.
After thinking about it and carefully weighing the pros and cons, Adele flipped through the contract. After a moment, he made up his mind, “Alright, I agree.”
For her father and for her grandmother, she would rather be by Damon’s side and act.
Hearing this, Damon did not seem to be surprised by her choice.Text © by N0ve/lDrama.Org.
Adele gritted his teeth and hesitated for a few seconds. In the end, he picked up the pen and signed his name on the receipt.
The moment she pushed the document in front of Damon, Adele suddenly had a feeling that she had sold herself. But when Damon raised her hand and signed her name, she knew that no matter whether she regretted it or not, everything had been settled.
But no matter what, it was a rare good news for her that her father could do the surgery as soon as possible.
Taking a deep breath, she looked at the time, looked at Damon, and whispered, “If there is nothing else, I will go first.”
Damon glanced at her and answered casually. He got up and followed her out.
When he went downstairs, Adele heard a conversation in the living room. When he went down, he found that there was someone there. Kobei was sitting in a wheelchair, talking to his subordinate Roman.
Coincidentally, Kobei turned his head and saw Adele. His eyes flashed and he smiled at her. “Adele, why are you here?”
“I’m here to see Grandma,” Adele smiled at him.
He controlled the wheelchair and moved closer to her. “Are you going to leave now?” he asked slowly.
“Yes,” Adele nodded.
“I’ll send you off then. I happen to be going out as well,” Kobei said in a friendly tone.
Adele hesitated, not knowing if she should agree. Suddenly, a cold voice came from behind her. “No need,” she said.
Then, her shoulder sank and someone grabbed her from the side. The voice came closer. “I’ll send her off,” he said.
Adele turned around and looked at Damon uncomfortably. After all, this was the first time he took the initiative to get close to her in front of others.
Kobei’s gaze naturally fell on Adele’s shoulder. Two seconds later, he smiled and said, “Since big brother personally went to send him off, then I am relieved.”
As he spoke, he looked at Roman who was at the side.
Roman gestured and immediately pushed the wheelchair out.
Adele sighed in his heart. Damon and Kobei were like fire and water. They were incompatible. The smell of gunpowder was so strong as soon as they met.
Suddenly, his shoulder felt light and the man’s hand moved away. “Let’s go.”
Adele was stunned and followed them.
Damon and Adele got into the car and drove away.
On the other side, Roman sent Kobei to the car and put away the wheelchair. Then, he got into the car and drove out of the old house.
Kobei sat in the back seat. He seemed to be in a good mood. There was always a hint of a smile on his lips.
The car drove on. From his angle, he could see Damon’s car not far ahead.
“Have you noticed that Damon is different from before?” he said slowly.
“How is it different?” asked Roman.
“His every move just now was like he was protecting his own child,” said Kobei with a smile.
“Why didn’t I feel it?” asked Roman, puzzled.
Hearing this, Kobei could not help but laugh.
He was a blockhead who had never been in love, so he naturally could not see anything.
“Go back to the villa,” he said directly, no longer answering Roman’s question.
It only took fifteen minutes to get to Kobei’s villa from the old house.
The reason why he did not go out independently like Damon was not for other reasons, but to put on the image of filial grandson in front of Old Madame.
However, Old Madame was not cold or indifferent to him. He did not like him enough and did not hate him. He knew that in Old Madame’s heart, he was not comparable to Damon, but he also looked indifferent.
“Who asked him to be an illegitimate child? He officially entered the door of Yusuf family at the age of sixteen. Without the time he spent with Old Madame when he was young, he naturally could not compare to Damon.”
However, he did not care.
When they arrived at the villa, Roman pushed him to the second floor of the recovery room. As soon as he opened the door, he saw Xiaoman Lu sitting on a chair in front of the French window, holding an open book in her arms, but her head was already on the side and she was asleep.
A smile flashed across the corner of Kobei’s lips. He waved his hand and let Roman leave, controlling the automatic wheelchair to approach the woman.
Stopping beside Xiaoman Lu, Kobei casually picked up the book in her arms and glanced at it – “Xu Zhimo Poetry Collection.”
Interesting.
She had the same name as Xu Zhimo’s lover, Xiaoman Lu. She didn’t expect her to be interested in Xu Zhimo.
Xiaoman Lu opened her eyes slightly and saw the person who suddenly appeared next to her. She was so scared that she immediately stood up in a panic. “Yu… Mr. Yusuf! When did you come back?”
“When your saliva flowed to your chin.” Kobei casually put the book aside.
Xiaoman Lu blushed with embarrassment when she heard this. She quickly raised her hand to wipe her chin.
Eh? No saliva?
How did he…
She looked up at Kobei and realized that she had been teased.
She was angry and laughed, but she could not say anything. She quickly put the book back on the bookshelf.
During this period of time, she found that Kobei was not as serious and cold as the first time they met. Instead, he would sometimes joke with her.
“Mr. Yusuf, the rehabilitation training today has not been done yet,” she reminded him.
“Well, let’s start now,” Kobei said softly.
