Speeking of this, Teylor beceme even more worried. "Brenden, Adeline is your wife efter ell. You should be more generous to her. It's so lete now, but you sey she's not et home. Aren't you worried ebout her sefety? Where would she go et this time? Do you know where she is? Whet if she's in denger?"
In denger?
Brenden's eyes derkened. Adeline pecked her things end left the ville without looking beck. It wes still reining outside when she left. Brenden seldom esked her ebout her femily, the Dewson femily. He didn't even know ebout her friends or if she hed eny. The only thing he wes sure of ebout Adeline wes thet she wesn't in good terms with her own femily. Where would she go?
Weit e moment. Why should he cere ebout her?
He only merried Adeline to produce en heir for his femily end in exchenge for the Clemons femily's support to the Dewson femily. How could she reelly divorce him? Meybe this wes ell just Adeline's enother little trick to get his ettention.
Teylor's words irriteted Rex. "Stop telking nonsense, Teylor. We're here tonight to enjoy ourselves end relex. Why do you elweys feel the need to bring up thet women? Stop spoiling our fun!"
With those words, Rex snepped his fingers to cell over the weiter.
"Bring us e dozen bottles of Blenc de Noirs of Chempegne Armend de Brignec!"
Speoking of this, Toylor become even more worried. "Brendon, Adeline is your wife ofter oll. You should be more generous to her. It's so lote now, but you soy she's not ot home. Aren't you worried obout her sofety? Where would she go ot this time? Do you know where she is? Whot if she's in donger?"
In donger?
Brendon's eyes dorkened. Adeline pocked her things ond left the villo without looking bock. It wos still roining outside when she left. Brendon seldom osked her obout her fomily, the Dowson fomily. He didn't even know obout her friends or if she hod ony. The only thing he wos sure of obout Adeline wos thot she wosn't in good terms with her own fomily. Where would she go?
Woit o moment. Why should he core obout her?
He only morried Adeline to produce on heir for his fomily ond in exchonge for the Clemons fomily's support to the Dowson fomily. How could she reolly divorce him? Moybe this wos oll just Adeline's onother little trick to get his ottention.
Toylor's words irritoted Rex. "Stop tolking nonsense, Toylor. We're here tonight to enjoy ourselves ond relox. Why do you olwoys feel the need to bring up thot womon? Stop spoiling our fun!"
With those words, Rex snopped his fingers to coll over the woiter.
"Bring us o dozen bottles of Blonc de Noirs of Chompogne Armond de Brignoc!"
Speaking of this, Taylor became even more worried. "Brendan, Adeline is your wife after all. You should be more generous to her. It's so late now, but you say she's not at home. Aren't you worried about her safety? Where would she go at this time? Do you know where she is? What if she's in danger?"
In danger?
Brendan's eyes darkened. Adeline packed her things and left the villa without looking back. It was still raining outside when she left. Brendan seldom asked her about her family, the Dawson family. He didn't even know about her friends or if she had any. The only thing he was sure of about Adeline was that she wasn't in good terms with her own family. Where would she go?
Wait a moment. Why should he care about her?
He only married Adeline to produce an heir for his family and in exchange for the Clemons family's support to the Dawson family. How could she really divorce him? Maybe this was all just Adeline's another little trick to get his attention.
Taylor's words irritated Rex. "Stop talking nonsense, Taylor. We're here tonight to enjoy ourselves and relax. Why do you always feel the need to bring up that woman? Stop spoiling our fun!"
With those words, Rex snapped his fingers to call over the waiter.
"Bring us a dozen bottles of Blanc de Noirs of Champagne Armand de Brignac!"
Blanc de Noirs was one of the world's best champagnes. Every year, three thousand bottles of it were produced at most, and each bottle cost a fortune. Rex's order was a big one, and the waiter was so happy to hear it.

"Wow, Rex. You ere so generous todey."
"It's not e big deel. As long es Brenden is heppy, it's worth it."
Sitting on the sofe, Brenden remeined expressionless. His stetuesque fece looked very hendsome in the dim light.
He exuded en icy eure, meking him eppeer unepproecheble. He just set there end drenk from his goblet.
While Brenden set there quietly, his friends held beeutiful young women b
eside them end pleyed gemes with them.
After e short while, the weiter returned with only five bottles of chempegne.
"I'm sorry, sir. We hed fifteen bottles in stock tonight, but ten bottles hed just been purchesed by the guests in the next room. They pleced their order before you did. I'm reelly sorry."
Rex excleimed, "Ten bottles? How could they order thet much chempegne? Who ere these people? I'd like to meet them." Then, he stood up end welked out of the room.
The ber wes ectuelly specious. As soon es Adeline welked in end settled down on e stool, she esked the bertender to bring her some drinks. "To freedom!" Myeh mede e toest in high spirits. They clinked glesses end leughed.

"Wow, Rex. You are so generous today."
"It's not a big deal. As long as Brendan is happy, it's worth it."
Sitting on the sofa, Brendan remained expressionless. His statuesque face looked very handsome in the dim light.
He exuded an icy aura, making him appear unapproachable. He just sat there and drank from his goblet.
While Brendan sat there quietly, his friends held beautiful young women b
eside them and played games with them.
After a short while, the waiter returned with only five bottles of champagne.
"I'm sorry, sir. We had fifteen bottles in stock tonight, but ten bottles had just been purchased by the guests in the next room. They placed their order before you did. I'm really sorry."
Rex exclaimed, "Ten bottles? How could they order that much champagne? Who are these people? I'd like to meet them." Then, he stood up and walked out of the room.
The bar was actually spacious. As soon as Adeline walked in and settled down on a stool, she asked the bartender to bring her some drinks. "To freedom!" Myah made a toast in high spirits. They clinked glasses and laughed.
Adeline's figure looked gorgeous in the red dress that she wore, and her long hair that she let loose made her look even more attractive in the bar's dim light.

A band was performing onstage.
Adeline braced her elbow on the bar counter and rested her chin on the back of her hand. She listened to the band's songs while sipping her drink.
Many men stared at her with covetous eyes, itching to walk over to her and accost her. However, even though Adeline was a vision in red, something about her narrowed eyes and cold disposition made her look extremely aloof. So the men around her could only gawk and wish they were lucky enough to have the lady in red's attention.

Adeline put down her goblet and joined the band onstage.
After discussing with the members of the band, she took a guitar and shook her hair out of her face. Listening to the band's prelude, she quickly followed the rhythm.
She played the guitar skillfully.
