The Schmitt family’s business, he really shouldn’t get too
involved.
Helping Adelaide call the funeral company and then getting
security guards to maintain order was the least he could do.
“There shouldn’t be anything urgent, you can sleep a little longer.”
Close the car door, Adelaide turned back to the Schmitt’s villa.
Over the next two days, Adelaide was practically glued to the
Schmitt’s villa. From the cremation to the burial, she stayed by
Cierra’s side the whole time.
With everything settled, the online buzz about Anderson’s
death is gradually fading.
Adelaide alone accompanied Cierra for lunch at the Schmitt’s
villa.
Cierra told her, “You’ve lost weight these days.”
Adelaide smiled, “No.”
“Reginald was really nice to you,” Cierra suddenly said.

Adelaide thought about how Reginald had been by her side
these past few days, and it warmed her heart. “Yeah, Mr.
Thorton is pretty nice.”
“Can we get the divorce certificate tomorrow?”
“Yeah!”
“Since you’re single now, I think you should give Reginald a try,”
Cierra continued to pass her the dishes, “I believe if you can find
a good match, your teacher in the afterlife will be happy.”
Adelaide didn’t answer, she just kept eating with her head
down.
She didn’t want to tell Cierra everything about herself.
After telling Melina a few words, Adelaide drove away. The Sterling Estates was too far for her to drive, so she decided to head straight to Teresa’s flower shop. She took a shower there, changed her clothes, and then lay down on the bed in her
lounge to sleep.
Adelaide was sleeping soundly at first, but then she started to
notice everything around her was gently swaying.
It feels like she was sitting on a boat or in a car.
She moved her arm and found her wrist was hurt by something
hard.

After a few more moves, she finally realized something was
wrong.
The next second, she suddenly opened her eyes and found herself sitting in the passenger seat, the car was moving, and her hands were handcuffed.
“Wake up?”
Adelaide turned her head and saw Garrett’s profile right away.
After being taken aback, she gritted her teeth and demanded, “Where are you taking me?!”
“Tomorrow is the last day of the cooling–off period, but I still don’t want a divorce. So as long as we get through tomorrow,
the cooling–off period will expire.” Garrett gently looked at her,
reached out and touched her head. “Darling, we are meant to be
together, we can’t be separated.”
“Are you crazy?” How could Adelaide imagine that Garrett
would actually take her away, in such a way to escape reality.
“You and Amanda have already set the wedding date, that’s a
fact that can’t be changed.””
“No, there’s still a way!”
“What?” Adelaide stared at him and asked.
“If you were pregnant.”
Chapter 182
When this was said, Adelaide felt like her brain was blown to
pieces by a bomb. Instead, she felt a chill and fear. She used to imagine how cute her and Garrett’s child would be, and how happy and content they would be as a family of three. But that was all in the past. Now, she feels disgusted just seeing him, so
how could there be any talk of having a child?
It was pitch black outside, with only the streetlights behind us.
Adelaide couldn’t see clearly in either direction. She felt a chill
running through her body, wondering where Garrett was
taking her.
She forced herself to stay calm, “Garrett, do you know that
what you’re doing is illegal?”
