Chapter 89 Mr. Riley is Afraid of His Wife
Curtis couldn't help but grin as he watched as his friends were defeated.
"I feel obligated to add a few more words about why you shouldn't get married."
"Why?" Owen asked directly before Max had a chance to say anything.
Max furrowed his brow, realizing it was too late to stop Owen.
Curtis put on a helpless expression.
"The only advantages of marriage are having someone to serve you a warm bowl of soup when you come home, to cuddle with a soft and fragrant body at night, to have a companion for watching movies when you're bored, to hold hands and go on dates during holidays, and to avoid the pressure and mockery of being single."
Owen thought to himself, "I'm so jealous! Are those the only benefits? You've listed quite a few!"
"But dealing with women is also troublesome. You have to be cautious in every aspect and avoid saying anything hurtful. If you accidentally make a mistake, you must ease the situation yourself. But if you spoil her too much, she might take advantage of you and become arrogant."
Curtis' mouth curved into a grin as the memory of Adeline kicking him came to mind.
"She looks so adorable when she kicks me! I've discovered a new lovable side to her!" he thought.
Owen felt speechless after hearing about Curtis and his wife's affectionate dynamics.
Unable to tolerate Curtis' smug expression, Max asked directly, "Curtis, dare you say these things in front of your wife?"
Curtis froze in place.
With astonishment on his face, Owen exclaimed, "No way! Are you serious, Curtis? Are you afraid of your wife?"
"I wouldn't say I'm afraid, but rather that I deeply respect her," Curtis responded, although there was a slight awkwardness in his tone.
Owen trembled as he questioned whether the world was real.
He couldn't believe that Mr. Riley from Prodiff, who used to be unstoppable and notorious for his cruelty, had transformed into someone like this after getting married.
Owen patted Max on the shoulder and said with mixed feelings, "You better not get married, Max. I can't take it if you end up being like him.
Maxim disdained the idea and said, "Don't worry, that won't happen."
Curtis looked at him with a questioning brow raised and asked, "Are you sure?"
"Yes, without a doubt."
Curtis said with a grin, "Well, I'll wait and see! I understand what you're thinking, though. Who knows how long it will be before you find a partner with how you've acted? Just keep talking big for the time being."
Max took a sip of tea and retorted, "You can keep laughing for now. But let me remind you that it's only two months until Christmas. Even if you continue to obstruct him, Logan will most likely return home for the holidays. Will you be able to laugh then?"
Curtis' expression darkened suddenly.
"Oh, let me remind you. Olivia Riley is coming back. Once she returns, how long do you think it will take for Logan to find out that you married his ex-fiancée?"
Curtis frowned, "How do you know Olivia's whereabouts?" Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.
"I have my sources keeping an eye on her," Max replied without any intention of concealing it.
Hearing this made Curtis's expression even more gloomy.
Owen glanced between Curtis and Max, choosing to remain silent as he stuffed a few more mouthfuls of food into his mouth.
He intentionally ate so much during this meal to sustain himself until lunchtime, hoping to avoid any further involvement in the dispute between the two powerful individuals.

Over at the school, just as Amber departed, Sophia entered the office.
Putting on a fake smile, she glanced at everyone present and announced, "I have some great news to share. Ms. Burton recently represented our school in the city's esteemed teachers' competition and secured the first-place position."
Instantly, Sophia led the applause, and the other teachers in the office joined in, offering their congratulations to Ms. Burton.
"Ms. Burton, congratulations."
Adeline gracefully stood up and graciously accepted their congratulations.
Sophia continued, "Due to Ms. Miller's departure, our academic department has decided to appoint Ms. Burton as the new head of the Literature department. We fully believe in her ability to enhance
our fourth-grade students' academic performance."
Adeline responded without any sign of modesty, "I will put forth my utmost efforts."
"Yes! I hope you can work hard!" Sophia walked out of the office after proudly patting Adeline on the arm.
As soon as Sophia exited, the teachers couldn't help discussing the news.
