“Damn, what’s with your moral sense now? He hasn’t even got
the divorce certificate yet, and he’s already sent out wedding
invitations with Amanda.”
Adelaide drank water, saying nothing.
“Okay, I got you. Anyway, there’s only twelve days left. After
getting the marriage certificate, you can go find a CEO wife to
date.”

Adelaide got choked. If there was a pillow next to her, she
would have thrown it without hesitation.
“You do your own thing, I’m gonna go sketch.”
Teresa’s eyelids were twitching like crazy, “Did I really go all out
on the sketches to repay Reginald’s kindness?”
“Yeah, bring it on.”
Teresa put her hand on her forehead and said, “It’s hopeless.”
Adelaide sketched until late at night, then got up the next day to
eat breakfast made by Teresa, and happily went to work.
But halfway there, Evelyn’s sudden phone call gave her a bad

feeling.
“Hello, Madam Barnard.”
“Adele, did I disturb you?” Evelyn, as always, was kind, just her voice sounded a bit tired.
“No, I wasn’t busy yet.” Adelaide cut to the chase, “Madam
Barnard, why did you call me so early? Is there something
wrong?”
Seeing her speak, Evelyn let out a sigh and said, “I actually feel
embarrassed to call you, but I really have no other choice.“”
“Yesterday we found out he got injured, so we rushed to the
hospital. That idiot kid somehow picked a fight with his dad
again, saying he won’t divorce you. Amanda couldn’t handle the
shock and attempted suicide, now both of them are staying in
the hospital.”
“Adele, I didn’t mean anything else. Can you come over and just
do whatever it takes to make him change his mind about
divorce?”
Adelaide hinted, “Madam Barnard, Garrett saw me, maybe even
worse.”
Evelyn choked up, “No matter what, Adele, can you please help
me this time for my sake? I can’t handle it anymore, I don’t want
to see them father and son like this forever.””

She could understand, even though Cornelius and Evelyn had
been angry with Garrett many times, after all, he was their own
son.
Don’t look at the hated face, look at the Buddha’s face.
Adelaide softened up, not because she still had feelings for
Garrett, but for Evelyn.
“Ok, I’ll come over at noon.”
Evelyn was overjoyed: “Okay, okay, you go ahead, I’ll wait for
you at noon.”
The phone hung up, and only then did Evelyn look at her son on
the hospital bed, who was already full of anticipation. She
couldn’t bear to watch. “Adele, I’ve called him for you, but this is
your last chance.”
“If Adele still insists on divorcing you, then you better wait
patiently for the cooling–off period to pass and then go get the
divorce certificate, got it?”
Garrett confidently said, “Don’t worry, Mom. Adele must still
have me in her heart, otherwise why would she agree to come.”
Evelyn couldn’t be bothered to talk.
We’ll find out at noon whether Adelaide is a softie or not.

After finishing up the morning tasks, Adelaide made up an
excuse and didn’t go out to eat with Mara and the others.
Arriving at the sixth floor of the hospital, Evelyn was waiting
outside the elevator.
“Adele.”
Adelaide was surprised: “Madam Barnard, you didn’t have to wait for me here in person!”
Evelyn smiled and patted her hand, “Not long after, have you
eaten?”
“Yeah, I’ve eaten.”
“I heard you started working at Orvenix Group, you’ve never
worked before, are you getting used to it?”
“Used to it.”
