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.
