Chapter 10 Thank You

Damon's legs were too long and his steps were too big. Adele had no choice but to trot along. The two of them entered a private restaurant. The people in the restaurant seemed to know Damon. When they saw him, they immediately led him in. After taking a seat in a private room, someone began to serve them. Then, they served the dishes as arranged. And the couple started to eat. Adele once again sighed at how powerful Damon was. The private room was very quiet, and Damon seemed to have work to deal with. He held the tablet that Ben had just handed in and kept looking at it. In such a big private room and with such a large table of dishes, Adele felt that it was a bit of a waste for only the two of them. But with Damon's wealth, this kind of extravagance should be daily. Adele picked up the teacup at hand, took a small sip, then raised her head and said to Damon, "Thank you for standing up for me just now." Her voice was very soft, afraid of disturbing Damon's work. Damon acted as if he did not hear her and continued with the task at hand. Adele did not continue to speak, but her thanks were sincere. It had to be known that when she faced Michelle just now, although she looked very powerful on the surface, she was actually afraid. Other than being afraid that Michelle and Sam would gang up on her, she was actually more afraid of recalling the past. Two years ago, just like today, the two of them stood together and humiliated her. The man who she once thought loved her the most was standing next to another woman, scolding her for all sorts of wrongs in the past. He told her that the days he spent with her were painful. Adele's nose twitched and her eyes began to get watery. The beautiful love she once thought she had was ruined by Sam and Michelle just like that. Adele suddenly fell into a sad memory and did not notice that Damon was already looking at her. After a few seconds of observation, Damon frowned and called out, "Adele." The cold voice pierced through Adele's eardrums. She could not help but shiver. She suddenly raised her head and directly met Damon's indifferent eyes. Adele suddenly realized that she had lost her composure. As she wiped away her tears, she said, "I'm sorry, I..." "Remember, you are my wife. You don't need to apologize to anyone." Before Adele could finish speaking, Damon interrupted her, "You don't need to be afraid of anyone." Damon's face was cold, and he said in a sulky tone. Facing such a man, Adele felt a little afraid. She could only purse her lips and nod obediently. But in her heart, she was thinking, "Did I embarrass him just now?" It was indeed a little embarrassing to get into a fight with them. "I..." After a short silence, Adele wanted to say something to apologize, but when she met Damon's eyes, she immediately closed her mouth and unconsciously straightened her back, like a primary school student who had made a mistake, waiting to be scolded. Damon's face softened a little, and even his tone of voice was much gentler. "Let's eat." After dinner, Damon went straight back to the company. Because of this matter, Adele was not in the mood to continue strolling around. Ben drove her home. On the way, Ben saw that Adele was unhappy, so he spoke. "Madam, if something like this happens again in the future, you must remember to call me. I will be there as soon as possible." "I didn't know that such a thing would happen. I seem to have made Damon unhappy. Tell me, have I embarrassed him?" Adele still remembered the angry look on Damon's face when they were eating. After all, hitting someone in public didn't seem like something a very cultured person would do. At first, Ben didn't understand what Adele meant. After half a second, he suddenly realized, "Madam, why would the president be angry with you? Even if he were to be angry, he would be angry with me." "What do you mean?" "Madam, although the president hasn't said anything, he is definitely on your side. A few moments ago, he had already sent people to purchase the Garcia Group." Hearing what Ben said, Adele remembered what Damon had said to Michelle. She originally thought that he was just saying it, but she did not expect that he would actually do it. Adele suddenly felt better. "Madam, the president is angry because he is afraid that you will suffer. He is a very protective person." Ben continued. "Really?" Hearing this explanation, Adele was a little skeptical. However, she was obviously in a much better mood. She didn't expect Damon just looked cold. Seeing Adele smile, Ben panicked in his heart. He seemed to have said too much. If his boss found out, he would probably skin him. However, for the sake of the harmonious family of the president, it was worth it even if he lost a layer of skin.
