Fatal Love：CEO, please let me go

“I asked the servants just now, but no one admitted it,” Ben said as he drove.

The servants at home usually did not dare to talk carelessly, but how had Old Madame known?

Damon was suspicious and did not understand. As he watched the car drive into the main road, he took out his phone and dialed Adele’s number.

After a few rings, someone finally answered.

“Hello,” the woman said in a cold voice.

Hearing the impatience in her tone, Damon subconsciously frowned and asked coldly, “Is Grandma with you?”

Hearing this, Adele turned to look at the silver-haired old lady who was already asleep on her bed and softly said, “Yes.”

Damon frowned and asked in a low voice, “Then why didn’t you call me?”

Old Madame was old. Usually, there would be people following her when she went out. Now that she had been out alone for an entire afternoon, he had been on tenterhooks the whole time. Yet, she hadn’t even called him!

Adele could hear the reproach in the man’s tone. She tightened her grip on her phone, frowned, and asked in a deep voice, “Why should I call you? Shouldn’t it be your responsibility if you didn’t take good care of Grandma?”

“I’ll go over now,” Damon said coldly, unable to speak. His cold eyes lit up with flames.

With that, he hung up the phone.

Adele looked at the disconnected call and felt angry and annoyed.

It was clearly his own responsibility. In the end, he still blamed her. What the hell?

Putting away the phone, Damon ordered with a cold expression, “Drive faster.”

Ben immediately agreed. He carefully raised his eyes and glanced at Damon through the rearview mirror, feeling scared.

It seemed that he rarely saw Damon so angry. He was not sure whether he was being angry with Old Madame or Adele.

They arrived at the gate of the community as fast as lightning.

He got out of the car and rushed to the door of Adele’s house. He suppressed the anger in his heart and knocked on the door.

“Click-”

The door was pushed open and Adele appeared at the door.

She saw the man dressed in an iron-gray suit standing outside the door. He was tall and straight and had a unique temperament. His perfect handsome face was impeccable. The only thing that was not very good was that his face was too long.

Adele frowned and her gaze did not want to linger on him. She subconsciously turned around to walk away.

Suddenly, her wrist tightened and she was pulled back by someone. A force pulled her back and turned her around again.

The distance between the two of them was suddenly shortened. Adele stumbled and almost threw herself into his arms. She stabilized herself and her heart beat faster.

“What… what are you doing?” she asked, gritting her teeth.

“Why didn’t you call me? Do you know how worried I was?” Damon asked, frowning.

This question sounded a little ambiguous. When Adele met the man’s clear and deep eyes, her heart could not help but beat fast.

She bit her lip, her face red with anger. “Do I have any obligation to call you? Let me go!” she asked.

Looking at the furious woman, Damon frowned and said in a low voice, “What if I don’t let go?”

“You dare!”

This sentence was not said by Adele but came from behind him.

They looked in the direction of the voice almost at the same time. When they saw Old Madame walking toward them with a cane, they were both stunned.

Old Madame walked to Adele’s side, her eyes filled with anger. She stared at Damon and said in a deep voice, “Let go!”

Damon paused for a moment, hesitated for a moment, and then let go.

“Bastard! Who do you think you are? You divorced Adele without me knowing. What’s the point of holding her hand and not letting go now?”

“Also, even if she didn’t call you, so what? Haven’t you realized your mistake?”

Damon lowered his head and listened to the lecture. His eyelashes trembled and his voice became softer. “I was worried about you…”

“I don’t need you to worry about me!” Old Madame interrupted him angrily.

Adele also did not expect that Old Madame would be like this to his own grandson. The anger that had been stuck in her heart had almost dissipated.

“Grandma, don’t be angry,” she advised softly.

When Old Madame heard this, she paused for a moment, and then her attitude eased a little.

In the end, she looked at Adele and whispered, “Adele, help me back to your room.”

“You, come with me.” As she spoke, she turned around and glanced at Damon.

The two of them followed Old Madame back to the bedroom.

The door closed. Old Madame looked at the two people standing in front of her and did not speak for a long time.

A moment later, she nodded slightly. “Sit down.”

Adele and Damon sat down on the chairs.

Old Madame swept her cold gaze over them and it finally stopped on Damon. “Speak, why did you get divorced?”

In the end, she still did not believe that the two of them were separated because they were not suitable. She had lived for dozens of years, so how could she not understand whether it was right or wrong?

The reason was definitely not that simple.

Damon’s face darkened slightly as if after careful consideration, he moved his lips and whispered, “It’s because of me, and it has nothing to do with Adele.”

Hearing him say this, Adele was surprised and nervous.

Could it be that he was planning to confess to his grandmother?

“Speak, what’s going on?” Old Madame’s face turned a little uglier.

Damon’s tight lips moved. Finally, his thin lips parted slightly and he said lightly, “I let her down.”

“You!” Old Madame’s face sank. She raised her hand in anger and slapped Damon hard in the face.

After a “pa” sound, it was as if the world had stopped.

Adele also had not expected that Old Madame would be so ruthless to her precious grandson! She turned her head in shock and saw a clear red handprint on the side of the man’s face. He frowned slightly, but his expression was still resolute and motionless.

For some reason, her heart also twitched.

“Bastard!” Old Madame couldn’t help but curse.

She was so angry that her body trembled. Finally, she slowly turned to look at Adele, and a look of shame appeared in her eyes. “Adele, the Yusuf family let you down. I… have no dignity to see you again.”

“Grandma…” Adele wanted to open her mouth to persuade her.

Old Madame waved her hand. She seemed to have guessed what she was going to say. She slowly stood up and walked out. “Adele, you don’t have to see me off.”

As she spoke, she walked out of the bedroom.

Looking at the old lady’s back, Adele felt a little sour.

After Old Madame left, she realized that there was another person in the room.

She turned her head and looked at the man who was still motionless. Her mood was complicated.

Her gaze swept over the red handprint on the man’s face that had already swollen up. She took a deep breath and walked to the table next to her. She took out a tube of ointment for blood circulation and bruises from the drawer and handed it to Damon.

No matter what had happened between them, no matter what, she did not want to see him like this.

Adele took a deep breath and said lightly, “Leave after applying some ointment.”

As she spoke, she put down the ointment and walked out of the room. She chased after Old Madame and walked out of the door. When she saw that the maid and Ben were both guarding Old Madame, she was relieved.

She turned back to the room and just as she opened the door, she bumped into Damon, who was about to go out.

She looked up and saw Damon’s red and swollen face. She could not help but frown.

He didn’t apply the medicine she had given him.

“Thank you for taking care of Grandma. Sorry for the trouble,” Damon said softly as his gaze swept across her body.C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

With that, he walked around her and walked away.

Adele’s heart tightened as she blurted out, “Wait a minute!”
