Henry's face changed little by little as she spoke.
His smile faded.
His body stiffened.
His eyes moved around, like he was thinking fast.
This is bad… he thought. Really bad.
Adeline is going to file a complaint against me?
Why didn't I know it?
Shit! F*ck you Adeline! I will deal with you later!
The question is, how did Adeline and Adriana meet? Does such a coincidence happen?
Huh! If Adriana knows everything, she would break off everything!
No! Think! Think before Adriana says she wants a breakup!
But he didn't let his fear show. He quickly took a deep breath, put a hurt look on his face, and made his voice tremble.
"Adriana…" he whispered. "I didn't want to talk about this… but since you heard it…"
He looked down and wiped an invisible tear.
"That woman—Adeline—she was my ex. A crazy one. She lent me money without me asking, then used it to control me.
She said she wanted to help, but every time I tried to break up with her, she would threaten me."
