Chapter 37 Are These Words Sincere?
Adele was so surprised that she could not speak. She had never heard anyone mention that Damon had a younger brother.
However, it did not seem like he was lying. Moreover, the last time she saw him at the antique shop, she felt that his features were somewhat similar to Damon’s.
Seeing that she had not recovered from her shock, Kobei calmly reached out his hand to her and said with a smile, “Let’s officially get to know each other, OK?”
“Okay, my name is Adele.” Adele came back to her senses and smiled at him.
The two of them shook hands and smiled at each other.
For some reason, when Adele saw him, she felt as if she had seen an old friend. There was no awkwardness. Instead, there was a sense of closeness.
She suddenly thought of what the servant had said before and immediately understood. “Oh right, why didn’t you come down with us when we were eating just now?”
“I like quietness.” Kobei smiled, and a trace of bitterness flashed across his face. “Moreover, my brother doesn’t really like me…”
Adele was stunned. She didn’t expect such an answer. She opened her mouth and wanted to continue asking for the reason, but she felt that it was inappropriate, so she could only hold back her questions.
Kobei paused, looked up at her, and asked hesitantly with a bitter smile, “What about you? Don’t tell me you don’t like me either.”
“No!” Adele did not hesitate and shook her head subconsciously. “I think you are a very good person! Otherwise, why would you give me the pen that you like? I gave that pen to Dad. He likes it very much. Speaking of which, I have to thank you!”
After Kobei heard her words, the gloom and worry on his face immediately disappeared. He smiled brightly.
“If you really want to thank me, why don’t you take me downstairs? I want to go to the yard to bask in the sun.”
“Okay!” Adele agreed without hesitation.
She walked behind Kobei, held the handle of the wheelchair, and pushed him down the slope on the side of the stairs. This slope was obviously specially built for his wheelchair, and the wheels were attached to the rails. Even without her pushing, Kobei could steadily go down.
She did not think too much about it, and slowly pushed him down while chatting with him.
Kobei laughed brightly, always following the topics. The two of them were talking happily.
Going down the stairs, Adele saw a servant standing not far away, looking at them in surprise and a hint of panic.
Without waiting for her to think carefully, she looked up and saw Damon standing at the door of the small balcony, staring at them from afar.
The light flashing in his eyes was so cold that it made her afraid.
At this moment, Kobei slowly turned his head and said with a smile, “Adele, thank you. You can leave me here.”
Adele was a little panicked. After responding, she walked toward Damon.
She remembered what Kobei had just said, Damon did not like him very much. Now that she saw Damon’s eyes, she felt even more guilty.
Walking to the man, she asked softly, “Have… have you finished all the work in the company?”
“Yes.”
Damon responded coldly, then turned around and walked to the door without hesitation.
Adele was stunned for a moment. Seeing that he was about to walk out of the door, she suddenly reacted and quickly caught up with him.
She ran to the small road in the yard and reached out to pull the man. “We haven’t greeted Grandma yet. It’s not good to leave like this…”
“No need,” Damon said coldly and continued to walk forward.
Adele had no choice but to follow him out of the courtyard and then quickly got into the car.
She could see that Damon was very angry.
Ben, who was originally bored on the side, saw this and quickly opened the door and got in the car, asking, “Mr. Yusuf, where are we going?”
“Go back,” Damon said with a gloomy face.
Adele sat at the side, not daring to speak at all. After the car drove away for a whole, only then did she gather the courage to ask, “Did I do something wrong?”
“No,” Damon replied coldly.
It was a very obvious lie. He didn’t even bother to make the lie sound better or more convincible.
Adele was helpless for a moment. She knew that Damon would not say anything no matter how she asked, so she just closed her mouth.
The two of them were silent all the way. The atmosphere in the car was extremely awkward. Even Ben kept looking at the rearview mirror, not daring to even breathe loudly.
Finally, the car arrived at the entrance of the courtyard. Just as it stopped, Damon pushed open the door and got out of the car. He walked towards the courtyard.
Adele sighed lightly. She could not understand why Damon hated Kobei so much.
With doubts and curiosity in her heart, she couldn’t help but quickly followed Damon up to the second floor.
Seeing that the man was about to enter the study, Adele quickly quickened her pace and stopped him.
Seeing the woman in front of him, Damon frowned but did not speak.
“What did I do wrong? Can you tell me?” Adele took a deep breath and asked seriously.
Damon frowned but did not speak.
“Is it because of Kobei? I heard that you hate him very much.” Adele clenched her fists and mustered the courage to ask.
Damon’s face instantly turned sullen. A few seconds later, he suddenly reached out and pressed Adele’s shoulder to pin her against the wall. A cold light flashed in his eyes. “Adele, don’t you think you’ve crossed the line?”
Kobei was a mermber of the Yusuf family. Whether he liked him or hated him, she had no right to inquire!
Adele took a deep breath, paused for a moment, and said word by word, “I am your wife.”
“You don’t need to know so much!” Damon’s face was cold.
“Why?”
For some reason, Adele felt unfair. At this time, not only was she unwilling to give in, but she also wanted to find out clearly. She reached out and grabbed the man’s wrist. She said seriously, “I am someone you can trust. You can tell me things that you can’t tell others. You can see me as your listener, OK?”
Over the past few days, she knew that Damon was not a bad person and wanted to do something for him.
A bit of surprise flashed through Damon’s eyes, but in the next second, he curled his lips into a sneer, pressed her against the wall, leaned over, and slowly approached her. “Why should I trust you?”
Being asked like this, Adele was a little anxious. She bit her lips, not knowing how to answer for a moment. Being stared at like this by him, her face slowly burned.
“Just… Just because I am your wife. Is that not enough?”
“Are these words sincere?” Damon’s eyes flickered.
Adele’s heart was beating fast, and she subconsciously averted her gaze, not daring to look him in the eye.
Suddenly, her chin was pinched, and she had no choice but to look him in the eye.
Knowing that she could not escape, Adele took a deep breath, bit her lip, and nodded gently. “Yes…”
She had only had one love experience. After she broke up with Sam, she lacked the experience of talking to guys and getting along with them. But these days, she did feel that Damon was good to her. So she sincerely hoped that he could be well.
As soon as she finished speaking, she found that Damon’s expression changed slightly. Suddenly, her vision darkened, and her lips suddenly softened.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.

Damon… actually kissed her!
