Chapter 79 It Was Just a Meal
To dress properly?
They were not on a date, so why would she have to dress properly?
Adele casually put her phone aside and threw Kevin’s instructions to the back of her mind.
In the blink of an eye, it was evening. Adele casually put on a set of clothes, said something to Mary, and hurried out.
When the taxi arrived at the destination, Adele finally understood the reason why Kevin had asked her to wear formal clothes.
Green Jade Garden, River City’s only national banquet restaurant, was a place where ordinary people might not afford to have a meal.
Adele had only heard of the famous Green Jade Garden before and had never experienced it. She did not expect that Kevin would actually have decided to eat here.
Just as Adele pushed open the door and got out of the car, she saw Kevin in a dark blue suit walking toward her.
As soon as Kevin approached and saw the clothes on Adele, he couldn’t help but widen his eyes. “You are…”
“I was just casually dressed. It was just a meal,” Adele said honestly.
Kevin was furious. A few seconds later, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Sure enough, the woman he had taken fancy to was different.
“Alright.” Kevin smiled, then pulled off his tie, took off his coat, and began to unbutton his shirt.
“You…” Adele was shocked.
What was he trying to do on the street?
Kevin unbuttoned the two buttons on his shirt and rolled up his sleeves. He winked at her. “To be the same style as you!”
After doing all this, he reached out to grab Adele’s arm and dragged her to the door.
Adele was stunned. She really could not understand this person’s mindset.
When they arrived at the restaurant on the second floor, the waiter led them to sit down by the window and then sent the menu.
After ordering the dishes, Adele picked up the teacup and took a sip. When she looked up, she saw Kevin sitting opposite her and staring straight at her.
Perhaps because his eyes were too straightforward, Adele’s cheeks were a little hot. “What… are you looking at?”
“What a pity.” Kevin shook his head and pretended to be regretful.
“What’s wrong? What’s a pity?” Adele was flustered by his neurotic behavior.
“It’s a pity that you married Damon. But I still have a chance.” Kevin raised his eyebrows.
“Don’t talk nonsense,” Adele said with a frown.
Kevin smiled and suddenly said with certainty, “Okay, but I am sure that you and Damon will divorce sooner or later.”
Hearing this, Adele’s heart thumped.
She did not know if she and Damon could last long, but according to what happened yesterday, she was also flustered.
Damon seemed to have a woman outside, and she had her own principles to stick to. It seemed that they would not last long.
“Forget it, forget it. Let’s not talk about this. We’ve got to have a good chat today!” said Kevin.
While speaking, the waiter came over to serve the dishes. Kevin put on a disposable glove and thoughtfully divided the whole roasted pigeon into small pieces before pushing it in front of Adele.
“No need, I can do it myself…” said Adele, who was stunned.
She was about to push the plate away when Kevin suddenly reached out and pressed her hand. “If you don’t accept it, shall I feed you myself?”
When Adele heard this, she raised her eyes to meet Kevin’s pair of peach blossom eyes, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on her skin.
Being stared at like this by him, she only felt uncomfortable all over.
“No… no need, I’ll do it myself.” Adele hurriedly pulled her hand out.
Not long after, the dishes came up one after another. When the last dish was brought up, it was a young girl who came to serve it. She picked up the bowl of soup and carefully put it down. Unexpectedly, her hand shook, and some soup splashed out. A few drops fell on Adele’s arm.
Her hands subconsciously shrank, and she could not help but gasp.
“I’m sorry… I’m sorry, I’ll wipe it for you.”
The little girl quickly handed over a tissue. Adele took the tissue and said casually, “It’s fine…”
Kevin, who was sitting opposite her, saw that Adele’s arm was scalded and his face immediately sank.
“What’s wrong with you?”
The little girl looked up and saw a handsome and stunning handsome man staring at her. She was so scared that she didn’t dare to look up. “I… I didn’t mean to…”
“Alright, Kevin, I’m fine.” Adele also quickly advised.
“This is hot soup. What if it pours on your face?” Kevin was rarely serious.
As he spoke, he stood up and reached out to grab Adele’s wrist. “Let’s go, I’ll take you to splash some cold water on it.”
Although she had only been scalded on a small part of her arm, that piece of skin was burning hot. It was indeed uncomfortable.
Before Adele could speak, he pulled her to the public sink in the bathroom. The man did not say a word and turned on the tap. He pulled her hand and put it under the water to wash.
Kevin wrinkled his brows and could not help but criticize, “Don’t let it leave scars. Do you know? As a woman, you have to be a bit more refined!”
When Adele heard this, her heart warmed. Just as she was about to thank him, footsteps suddenly came from the corridor next to her.
She subconsciously turned her head and happened to meet the pair of dark and deep eyes of the person who came.
It was Damon!
Adele was shocked and almost subconsciously pulled her hand out of Kevin’s.
Damon’s face was frighteningly dark. His pair of black pupils stared at her without moving.
Adele could even feel that the surrounding air had become much thinner in an instant. She mustered up her courage and said, “Damon…”
Before she could finish speaking, the man had already stepped forward. He grabbed her hand and dragged her directly into the female restroom.
Kevin reacted and hurriedly stepped forward. “Damon…”
“Bang!”
The door was suddenly closed. Kevin touched his nose and frowned. He pushed the door open, only to find that it had been locked.
In the bathroom, Adele retreated in surprise. “This is… the female bathroom…”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
Damon frowned and stepped forward without a word, directly forcing Adele to the corner.
“Why are you with him?” he asked coldly.
He had clearly told her to stay away from Kevin, but not only had she not listened, but she had also gotten closer and closer to him. What was she trying to do?
Adele opened her mouth nervously, but she did not know how to explain it.
She suddenly remembered what had happened last night and felt depressed. She took a deep breath and gritted her teeth. “I just had a meal with him.”
She pretended to be calm. The indifference in her eyes successfully angered Damon. The man’s face was gloomy and his breathing became heavier.
His voice seemed to be rolling in his throat as he asked coldly, “Does your meal include holding hands?”
