Chapter 4 Relieved

"Am I really not dreaming?" Adele lay on the bed, holding the marriage certificate above her head and muttering to herself. At this time, Adele's mind was in chaos. Then she suddenly thought of the last sentence Damon said to her in the car. Damon said that he could give her everything, but it seemed that he had no feelings for her. In fact, if she thought about it carefully, wasn't she the same? Two years ago, in that humiliating betrayal, she had lost the last bit of hope regarding the relationship between men and women. Adele even felt that she would never fall in love with anyone else ever again. That was the only reason she agreed to go on a blind date. During a blind date, one just had to raise their requirements. If the other party could meet them, it was okay to get married even without any feelings. Marriage was just a show for outsiders, proving that they were also living a 'normal' life. Thinking of this, Adele felt a little relieved. Although it was the greatest surprise ever that she could get married to Damon, she still followed her previous plan. They were just going to live together, without love. So, what was there for her to worry about? After comforting herself for a while, Adele pulled the quilt over her head and fell asleep. When she woke up, it was already past five o'clock in the evening. The sun was hanging on the horizon and the rays of afterglow fell on her bedside. She rubbed her eyes, as if she had not woken up yet. "Yus, right? Come in! Have some tea and some apples. I just bought these this morning. They are still fresh." Just as Adele was still thinking about whether to sleep or not, the enthusiastic voice of her mother outside the door made her shiver. Yus? Have some tea? Eat some apples? Is there a guest in the house? Adele scratched her head. After a while, she suddenly remembered that Damon had said that he would come for a visit. Could this Yus be Mr. Yusuf? She rushed out like a rocket. Just as she came out of the door, she bumped into her mom, who was carrying a fruit plate. Ms. Henderson rolled her eyes at her energetic daughter. Then she turned around and put on a motherly smile. "Adele, you came out at the right time. Yus is here. Come and say hi to him." Hearing her mother say this, her heart skipped a beat. She subconsciously looked at the clock on the wall, and the hour hand just pointed to six o'clock. He really came! And he was really punctual. She smiled awkwardly. She wanted to hide back in the room, but her mom was quick enough to stop her. She grabbed Adele's arm and pulled her to Damon who was sitting on the sofa in the living room. "You guys chat. I'm going to cook." Ms. Henderson said with a smile and immediately retreated. The air in the living room instantly froze. Adele stood rooted to the ground. For a moment, she did not know what to do. She did not even know where to put her eyes. Sometimes, she looked at her toes and sometimes glanced at Damon. At this time, Damon was wearing a gray sweatshirt. He looked calm yet lively. He looked much more amiable than his suited self during the day. Did he go back and change his clothes? Adele's thoughts ran wild again. "Adele." Damon said, breaking the silence. Adele subconsciously looked up and blurted out, "Mr. Yusuf." After saying that, Adele realized that something was wrong. She had not told Damon before that she was Yusuf Group's employee. Now that her identity was revealed, and he truly knows who she is, wouldn't he think that she was very scheming and had planned out or manipulated the whole blind date to work out just the way it did? In a moment, countless images appeared in Adele's mind. Unexpectedly, Damon did not care what she said and continued to say, "Give me your hand." Adele obediently stretched out her right hand. "Left hand." She withdrew her right hand and obediently stretched out her left hand. At this time, Damon took out a platinum ring and put it on the ring finger of Adele's left hand. His movements were gentle, elegant, and smooth. Adele was stunned, her heart beating non-stop. She looked at the ring on the ring finger and was speechless. When she looked at Damon, she found that there was a similar ring on the ring finger of Damon's left hand. However, his fingers were slender and smooth, making the ring look particularly good. "The size is just right." Damon nodded with satisfaction. "I..." Adele's heart was stirred again. "I said I will give you everything. In the future, you will call me Damon, and I will call you Adele." Damon looked up at her. Damon's voice was very soft, but his words revealed an unquestionable attitude. "I..." Adele tried to calm down her excitement. "Isn't it too fast? I just met you once. You don't seem to understand me, do you?" Adele blushed as she finally said what she wanted to say. In fact, she had nothing to worry about by marrying Damon. After all, she has nothing to lose. But for Damon, it was a big loss! The title of Mrs. Yusuf was definitely more valuable than ten trucks of diamonds. She was simply making a big profit! "What do you mean by understanding?" Damon raised his eyebrows slightly. Adele pursed her lips and gave an example, "For example, what is my name, where do I work, what university I graduated from..." "Your name is Adele. You are 24 years old this year and graduated from River University's Administrative Department. Now, you are working for Yusuf Group. During school, you dated a boy from the Financial Department. When you graduated, you broke up..." "Okay, okay." Hearing this, she hurriedly interrupted Damon. Adele was a little embarrassed when he mentioned her past experiences, and her face instantly turned red. However, Damon had a calm expression on his face, as he was seriously answering Adele's question. Adele swallowed her saliva. It seemed that Damon really knew her. But since he had said this, would he hold a grudge against her ex? Would he misunderstand her? After thinking about it, Adele finally decided to explain it to Damon. He only heard her muttering, "The boyfriend I had in university didn't do that thing to me." "We only held hands twice." As she said this, her face got red all over. Damon originally did not care about it, but when he saw Adele seriously talking about this matter, he could not help but feel that this little girl in front of him was somewhat cute, and even the coldness on his brows lessened a bit.
