#15
When Adriel woke up, the sky was dark.
She looked around her and realised she was in a refined apartment. Nonetheless, it was foreign.
The moment she sat up, a handsome and tall man walked in through the door.
After looking at him for few seconds, Adriel asked in disbelief.
Noah Mickelson
(smile gently) Long time no see, Addie.
It had indeed been a long time. Even since Noah graduated from high school, Adriel did not see him anymore.
Noah Mickelson
I asked my private doctor to take a look at you just now. He said you're fine.
Noah Mickelson
(hand her a glass of water)
Adriel Knight
I'm sorry Noah. I caused so much trouble for you.
Noah Mickelson
It isn't a trouble at all. Everything's fine as long as you're okay.
Noah answer warmed Adriel's heart. However, when she recalled what Ian had said, she felt her heart break once more.
Perhaps this was the consequence of delusional and one-sided love.
It was late and Adriel wanted to go home. However, Noah had ordered takeout from a five star hotel. The entire table was filled.
Adriel didn't want Noah's good intentions to go waste, so she stayed and had dinner with him. After dinner, Noah insisted on sending Adriel home.
The car arrived in front of Villa, Noah said something out of blue.
Noah Mickelson
My doctor told that you're pregnant. Does Ian know?
Adriel was halted in her tracks. She turned her head around and saw that the moon light was shining on Noah's handsome face. His eyes looked kind.
Adriel Knight
He does. Of.. ofcourse, my husband knows that I'm pregnant. (forced smile)
Adriel Knight
Thank you Noah, I'll buy you a dinner next time.
Noah Mickelson
(nod+ smile) I'll wait for you to call me, Addie.
Adriel Knight
Okay (smile and waved)
She turned around after she watched Noah's car leave
The moment she entered the house, a cold hand viciously grabbed and pulled her arm away.
Adriel had not seen it coming, and her nose crashed into the man's firm chest. The next instant, Ian's frigid voice was heard from top of her head.
Ian Nowak
Adriel, you are even more of a b*tch than I imagined.
The man's cold accusations rained down on Adriel, and she felt extremely ironic
Adriel Knight
Were not you already aware about it, Mr. Nowak?
Adriel's answer enraged Ian even more. He lifted her chin angrily as he glared at her with his bottomless, black eyes that were filled with anger.
Ian Nowak
So, you went to look for your old flame, hmm?
Adriel Knight
***Old flame? He must be referring Noah.***
Noah had once been Ian's classmate. They were three year older than her and had been her seniors.
When Noah confessed to Adriel during their graduation ceremony, Everyone in the school thought that they began dating afterwards.
Adriel did not know that Ian had believed their rumours as well.
Ian Nowak
Adriel, I'm telling you, even if I were to kick you out one day, don't think that you can run away to other men. I want to see who dare to pick up trash I have used before.
Adriel Knight
IAN, Just because you are not loyal go this marriage, it doesn't mean that I'd have an affair like you.
Adriel Knight
I have only had one man this entire time and it's you! so, not only have you humiliated me with your words but you have also humiliated yourself.
After she said this she pushed away the man with the force that she had and quickly run back to her room.
On the other hand, Ian stood on the spot; the emptiness in his arms somehow made him fall into a daze. He lifted his head and look at Adriel's back and frown gently. The moonlight shone down on his face, and his expression was unclear.
Adriel went to work as usual. However, the moment she stepped into the office, she was called over bu the human resource department.
Her manager ga e her a resignation letter immediately, and Adriel was confused.
Manager
Our company does not welcome light-fingered people.
Adriel understood that it was the result of the video of her having ' stolen ' being put online.
She had had the evidence to prove her innocence. But, Ian had destroyed it overtly.
Now, she was merely a shameless thief in everyone's eyes.
Adriel felt wronged and furious. However, there was nothing she could do.
In Glendale, anything would go Ian's way if he opened his mouth.
Nevertheless, he would never help her. He even wished for her to disappear forever.
Adriel brought her resume to a few other company interviews, but they each rejected her without hesitation.
Furthermore, perhaps it was a figment of her imagination, but she felt unwell. From time to time she felt pain coming from her abdomen.
Adriel was worried about her child, so she went to the hospital for a check-up immediately.
There were many people in the hospital. While waiting for her results, Adriel looked at the pregnant ladies that had husbands by their sides and felt envious.
She didn't even dare to fantasize about Ian coming with her for a maternity check-up one day.
It was virtually impossible
Aaria Knight
Oh? Well, if it wasn't Addie
Adriel lifted her head and saw Aaria in a loose shirt. She was smiling at her gently
Aaria Knight
You are here for a maternity check-up as well? Is Ian not here with you?
Aaria was all smiles. She looked naive and harmless.
Adriel felt a pang in her heart, but she did not want to show her weakness.
Adriel Knight
Ian's not with you too. He'll know about the b@Stard child in your womb sooner or later.
Aaria's expression changed abruptly as she became unhappy. However, in the blink of eye, she smiled and felt pleased with herself.
Aaria Knight
Oh you mean Ian? He is helping me to take my results now.
