Chapter 55 Mr. Riley's Blind Date
After school, Adeline purposely went back to her apartment to change clothes.
She wanted to approach this blind date with the right mindset.
Even though they were already married, since both of them had expressed the desire to rekindle their love and establish their relationship, they needed to take it seriously.
Opening her wardrobe, Adeline noticed that the clothes gifted by Curtis were neatly arranged, from coats to sweaters to dresses, all sorted by color from dark to light. It was evident that he had put a lot of thought into it.
However, on the side of these elegant and refined garments, there were a few clothes that stood out from this style. They were several vibrant and patterned dresses. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.
Adeline decided to try on one of the floral dresses, and to her surprise, it looked great on her. She put on a cashmere coat and prepared herself for the date.
Before leaving, she glanced at the fragrance Melissa had given her, "Man Slayer," and she sprayed it a few times. Blushing, she walked out the door.
She couldn't help but think that maybe it really was like that.
As she entered the designated restaurant, Adeline scanned the area and quickly spotted Curtis sitting on the window side of the booth. He held a glass in one hand and rested the other on the table, appearing casual but anyone with discerning eyes could tell that he was different from the other customers in the restaurant. He exuded an inherent air of nobility.
Adeline was slightly stunned by the sight. Why hadn't she realized before that Uncle Curtis of Logan was so good-looking?
At that moment, Curtis's gaze shifted towards the entrance, and when he saw her, a slight tremor seemed to pass through his eyes.
Adeline's face instantly turned red, and she nodded at him, feeling inexplicably nervous in her chest.
As she approached the table, before she could speak, Curtis warmly inquired, "Are you Miss Burton?"
With that, he pressed his hand on the table and struggled to stand up.
That's when Adeline noticed that Curtis was quite tall, probably around 185 centimeters.
He stood in front of her, towering over half of her head height, appearing handsome and providing a sense of security.
"Yes, I am." Worried that Curtis's legs couldn't support him for too long, Adeline made a gesture of "please" and hastily said, "Mr. Riley, please take a seat. I heard from the matchmaker that you have some difficulty with your legs."
She thought to herself, acting the part in full, with saying this, Curtis should feel that she was a considerate woman, right?
But as soon as the words were spoken, Curtis's face darkened slightly.
And Steffen, sitting behind the booth, clutched his mouth and almost burst out laughing.
He could fully imagine how angry Mr. Riley must look right now!
He had originally planned to show off in front of his wife, but he didn't expect his wife to see through his leg problem!
Haha, he dserved it!
After Adeline sat down, she noticed that Curtis's complexion seemed a bit off. She asked in confusion, "Mr. Riley, what's wrong?"
Curtis suppressed his emotions and still wanted to leave a good impression on Adeline, so he tried to lift the corners of his mouth and said, "Nothing, let's get to know each other formally. I am Curtis."
As he spoke, Curtis politely extended his hand.
Adeline lightly shook it and said, "Hello, I'm Adeline. Nice to meet you."
After the formal introduction, the atmosphere became a bit awkward.
Both of them seemed to not know what to say.
They had done a lot of preparation, but when it came to actually "going on a blind date," their minds went blank.
Curtis picked up the menu and handed it to Adeline. "Miss Burton, why don't you take a look and see what you like to eat?"
Adeline ordered some pasta and a few snacks.
After ordering their meals, they fell silent again.
Their eyes met, and suddenly they burst into laughter.
"I often heard my colleagues say that blind dates are quite awkward, but I didn't expect it to be true," Adeline jokingly said.
Curtis, on the other hand, was quite gentlemanly in his apology. "If Miss Burton feels awkward, it's definitely my fault. I wasn't prepared well, and I made Miss Burton feel uncomfortable. How about this? If there's anything you want to know about me, feel free to ask me."
After thinking for a moment, Adeline opened her mouth and asked, "Mr. Riley, what kind of expectations do you have for your future wife?"
