“Even if I raised her, so what, she’s not my own!” Jeanette
slammed her hands on the table, “If you don’t want your mom
to get in trouble, then you better help me rescue Amanda.”
Spencer got even more annoyed by the noise, and eventually
had to compromise, “I got it.”
Back to the group.
Adelaide acted normal in front of her colleagues, but when she
sat on the toilet in the restroom stall, she stared at her right
hand for a long time.
The painful tingling sensation is long gone.
The pain in my heart still lingers.
She couldn’t believe how she could have mistaken two people
she thought were important in her life at the same time in such
a short period.
Thinking about what Cierra said, and then remembering how
Anderson looked.

Adelaide clenched her fist, nails digging into her palm, trying to
split her emotions in half with the pain.
Love messes things up, no doubt.
Adelaide adjusted her mood and casually returned to her desk
as if nothing had happened.
The phone rang.
“Don’t forget to treat me to lunch at noon.”
After reading the message, Adelaide subconsciously glanced
towards the office.
Was Reginald just watching the surveillance footage for fun?
So he would text her to remind her.
After hesitating in her mind, Adelaide still managed to find the
manager of a restaurant from her WhatsApp friends and
booked a table.
After the manager agreed, he asked her, “Ms. Pierce, are we still
keeping that table reservation for New Year’s Eve?”
Adelaide immediately remembered something.
Before getting married, she happily booked a restaurant for
New Year’s Eve, planning to have holiday dinner with Garrett
Chapter113
at the Barnard’s villa, watching fireworks and enjoying a
candlelit dinner.
But candlelight dinner doesn’t mean you can only have it with a
man.
“Yeah, no change.”
After sending the message, Adelaide remembered something important.
She customized a pair of cufflinks for Garrett.
We need to find a time to deal with the cufflinks as soon as
possible.
At noon.
Reginald hopped in the passenger seat of Adelaide’s car and
they headed to the restaurant.
When Reginald arrived at the destination, he saw the
restaurant named Leaf Restaurant and paused for two seconds.
“Eat here?”
Adelaide unbuckled her seatbelt and, seeing him ask like that,
politely replied, “Mr. Thorton doesn’t like it? If he doesn’t like it,
then we’ll find another place.”
“Not really, just asking.”
Chapter113
Reginald just thought she really knew how to choose.
Last time we treated the team to dinner, this time he treated us
to dinner, all at Kyson’s restaurant.
The manager was all smiles at first, but when he saw Reginald
next to Adelaide, his expression briefly changed to surprise.
So… Ms. Pierce brought Mr. Thorton to dinner?!
So, he quietly passed on the message and moved the table
originally reserved for Adelaide to the best table on the third
floor.
Adelaide was a regular here too. When the manager led them to
their table, she looked puzzled and asked, “Are you sure about
this table, manager?”
After all, this seat is always hard to book.
The manager smiled, “All the other tables are full, Ms. Pierce.“”
“Full?” Adelaide looked around, not full.
The manager kept the best smile: “It’s full in a while.”
Reginald across from me had already sat down, “Adelaide, I’m
hungry.””
Adelaide stopped being curious and sat down, ordering a few
Chapter113
dishes skillfully before asking, “Mr. Thorton, what would you
like to eat?”
“I can eat whatever you order.“”
So Adelaide ordered a few extra.
