Chapter65
After taking a shower, Adelaide lay on the bed, staring at the
ceiling and daydreaming.
Can’t help but think about what happened after signing the
agreement with Reginald, he didn’t have any ulterior motives in
the name of work.
On the contrary, she was assigned independent projects right
after joining, and was also encouraged to participate in
competitions. Even though she was hired as a vocal teacher, he
still found ways to get involved.
He was like standing behind her, pushing her up the stairs,
going higher.
He also made it clear to her that she had the ability and
shouldn’t waste it, let alone be a vase that only knows how to
rely on others.
Turning over, Adelaide closed her eyes.
She seemed to really think Reginald was too out of touch.
He was a good boss.
In the middle of the night, Adelaide felt so thirsty that her
Chapter65
throat was on fire.
She couldn’t bear it anymore, so she had to wake up and go
downstairs to find some water to drink.
She was quite puzzled, wondering how much spice was added
to the duck soup at night to make her, a person who is usually
cold, feel so heated.
After finishing the water, she found some ice cubes in the
freezer.
Then I started chewing.
Chewing too much, she had no idea that someone was standing
at the kitchen door staring at her in a strange way.
“Adelaide?”
The crunching sound of biting ice suddenly stopped, Adelaide looked up abruptly, with a mix of surprise and bewilderment, staring at the tall figure in front of her.
Reginald’s face went blank for a few seconds. If he hadn’t seen with his own eyes that she was putting ice in her mouth, just by hearing the sound, he would have thought she was biting
bones.
“What’s wrong with you?” Reginald asked in surprise, his face filled with concern as he hurried over and crouched in front of
Chapter65
her. “Why are you eating ice cubes? Are you running a fever?”
In the middle of the conversation, he reached out and touched
Adelaide’s forehead.
The temperature was normal.
Then he was even more puzzled, and could only come to one
conclusion, “Is eating ice cubes in the middle of the night your
little quirk?”
The ice in her mouth had melted into water. Adelaide
swallowed twice and shook her head, “No, it’s smoke coming out
of my throat.”
“I’m thirsty, what are you eating ice cubes for?!” Reginald took
away the box of ice cubes. “It’s fall now, Adelaide.”
“Wait, wait, wait.” Adelaide acted quickly to stop Reginald from
putting the box back in the fridge. She sheepishly explained, “I
overdid it with the late–night duck soup, drinking water didn’t
help, so I thought I’d have some ice cubes.”
After hearing that, Reginald couldn’t help but recall dinner.
Because Adelaide said the chicken soup was so good, the butler kept serving it to her. If he remembers correctly, she drank half
of that pot of chicken soup all by herself.
It’s not Adelaide’s fault, she always loved soup, plus she couldn’t
Chapter65
refuse the offer at that time.
“I respect you,” Reginald admitted, “but eating ice cubes in the
middle of the night is not good for your health.”
“No worries, I’ll just have two more pieces,” Adelaide reached
out to grab two more, but Reginald had already put the box
back in the fridge.
“Wait outside, I’ll figure something out for you.”
With that, he naturally walked towards the shelf where the
ingredients were placed.
Adelaide was still staring at the fridge.
