Revenge on My Sister and Ex-Husband (Adelaide) novel Chapter 9

Chapter 9

“Adele!” Spencer’s voice shook. He couldn’t believe Adelaide would suddenly do something so crazy.

Adelaide stepped back, pointing at the door with her other hand. “Take your cake and get out!”

“You’re not the type to act on impulse,” Spencer said, his brows furrowed.

As soon as he finished speaking, thin trails of blood began to seep from Adelaide’s neck. Her face remained expressionless as she asked, “Still think I’m acting on impulse?”

Spencer clenched his teeth, finally giving up. He picked up the cake. “Alright, we’ll talk when you calm down. Adele, you’ll

understand sooner or later. Anyone can hurt or deceive you,

but not me. I’ll only ever be good to you.”

After she moved her things in, she saw Rosecliff Manor on the

hillside from the study window.

She had a complicated look on her face.

Reginald’s intentions were way too obvious.

After she got everything settled, Adelaide went to the

supermarket to pick up some stuff. Then she got in her car and

headed to the Valmora Group.

She pulled over on the side of the road and called Garrett.

The call was answered right away, and his deep, husky voice

came through. “Honey.”

Adelaide was about to say something when she noticed that

Garrett’s voice sounded off. She asked on purpose, “Are you in a

meeting?”

“Yeah” Garrett took a deep breath to make his voice sound

normal. “I’m afraid I’m gonna be busy today. Can we talk when I

get back home tonight?”

Adelaide closed her eyes. The gross stuff she saw last night

popped into her head again.

She couldn’t stand the idea of talking about their divorce right

after he had sex with Amanda.

She was afraid the smell would make her gag.

“Alright, let’s talk tonight.” Adelaide quickly hung up the phone,

feeling disgusted. Even though her hands weren’t dirty, she
