“The two of you, please come in, the late–night snack is ready!” Draven gestured with a nod.
The two entered the room and didn’t see Reginald.
Draven, who came in after, said, “Mr. Thorton went upstairs to
answer the phone temporarily. He mentioned that if Ms. Pierce
and her friends arrived first, they could eat first.”
Adelaide immediately said, “No, Mr. Thorton invited us for
supper, so let’s wait for him to come down and eat together”
Teresa immediately chimed in, “Yeah!”
Draven didn’t insist, instead he turned and brought out a small
bowl from the kitchen. “Could you please help me deliver this to
Mr. Thorton, Ms. Pierce?”
“Ugh.” Adelaide hinted, “Mr. Thorton should be finishing his call
soon!”
“I don’t know, it seems like a work call, gonna be a while,” Draven sighed, “I was waiting for Mr. Thorton to come down for a drink, but his voice went hoarse after coming back from
the old mansion at night. If he has to talk on the phone for a long time, he probably won’t be able to speak tomorrow.”

“Oh, is it that serious?” Teresa exaggerated.
“Ms. Pierce, can you do me a favor and deliver this? There’s a
dish in the kitchen that’s about to be ready, and I can’t leave
right now,” Draven said as he handed the small bowl to
Adelaide.
Adelaide had to catch it.
Teresa helped out by saying, “Just do it quickly. Let’s
go,
let’s go.”
Adelaide looked like she was gloating and really looking
forward to it, she couldn’t wait.
Which side is this toxic friend on, anyway?
Faced with the old man’s sincere plea, Adelaide softened again.
This is the third time today she’s been forced to compromise,
and it’s all because of Reginald.
Carrying a small bowl, she bravely went upstairs.
She had been to Rosecliff Manor many times, but only hung out in the living room and dining room, never went upstairs.
For her, anything above the second floor was Reginald’s private
domain.
She felt extremely embarrassed and nervous when he suddenly

barged in.
Standing in front of the study, the door was tightly closed.
The soundproofing is great, can’t hear any noise.
She quickly made a mental preparation, raised her hand to
knock on the door, and called out, “Mr. Thorton, it’s me.”
The door didn’t open right away, but she didn’t want to knock a
second time.
Maybe they just didn’t want to be bothered by phone calls.
Counting to thirty in her mind, Adelaide was sure that the door
wouldn’t open. She let out a sigh of relief and turned to leave.
Suddenly, crack!
”
Adelaide: ………
The door of the study was opened from the inside, Reginald
only showed one–third of himself, but turned around very
quickly, “Come in.”
His voice was hoarse, and it even seemed like he was speaking
in a painful state.
Adelaide straightened up and couldn’t help but think of the
steamed chicken during the day.
Chapter148
She went in and couldn’t help but ask, “Mr. Thorton, why did your voice suddenly become hoarse?”
With that, she handed over the small bowl, “Draven made you some snow pear soup.”
Reginald took it and finished it in two sips. “No problem.”
“Is it because of steamed chicken?”
“Not.”
“Did you have an argument with someone?”
Reginald put down the cup, raised an eyebrow, and looked at
her.
In the dark pupils, the lingering gloom suddenly dissipated, and
the eyes became much gentler. “Hmm.”
Adelaide knew he went back to the old house after work, it’s
not hard to imagine he went home to have a big fight.
