Ice-Cold Ceo, Crazy Love

At that moment, Belle turned around and glanced at Penelope.

Somehow, Penelope gulped nervously.

Belle said with a smile, “Aunt Penelope, I know you have a kind heart, but instead of taking people home when they are in need, it’s better to recommend them to the Landor family’s relief organization for assistance.”

“I understand,” Penelope replied reluctantly.

“I feel that Adam had dealt with this matter appropriately. Aunt Penelope, you kept saying that he is harsh, and his actions would ruin his reputation. Since a lot of outsiders have misunderstood Adam, what we should do is to solve these misunderstandings and not allow the misunderstandings. to progress. Do you agree?”

Belle looked as if she had seep through all of Penelope’s intentions.

Penelope panicked, but then her expression became stern. “You’ve only become a member of this family yesterday. Are you telling me what to do now?”

Penelope was at a disadvantage, so she used her status as an elder to suppress Belle.

Belle frowned and was about to speak when a faint voice suddenly sounded. “I think what Belle said is totally right.”

Belle was slightly overjoyed to hear the voice. She turned around and saw Adam.

Adam walked over with an indifferent look on her face. Instead of talking to Penelope, he turned. and asked Belle, “Have you had breakfast?”

“Not yet,” Belle replied.

Adam ruffled her hair and said, “Then let’s get something to eat first.”

Belle agreed obediently and the two of them were about to leave.

Penelope covered her aching chest and cried, “Adam, no matter what, I am legally your father’s wife. In the eyes of the law, I’m your mother! Are you going to side with your wife and just watch as she bullies me?”

“Bully you?” Adam found Penelope’s words ridiculous. He ignored her and was about to leave with Belle.

However, Belle stopped.

“What’s wrong?” Adam looked at her.

“Wait a minute.” With a sweet smile, Belle turned around

“Aunt Penelope! Are you saying that I was bullying you? That’s so unfair!” Penelope was such a skilled actress who could shed tears on cue, but to Penelope’s surprise, Belle didn’t fall for it. Instead, Belle began to assertively question her.

Penelope was slightly taken aback, and even her tears seemed to have stopped.

Belle approached Penelope step by Step. “Aunt Penelope, we both respect you as our elder. But if you continue to secretly undermine Adam’s reputation with these petty actions, it’ll uncertain whether you can remain in this house or not.

“My husband may not mind, but that’s not a reason for you to act recklessly. If I catch you using such methods again, we will have to confront Grandfather and we’ll see who gets kicked out of the house!

The servants around were stealing glances at the commotion here.

Penelope was rendered speechless. She pretended that her heart ached even more.

This act of playing the victim was clearly her specialty.

“No, I have to do something.” Penelope thought.

Penelope took a deep breath and was about to cry again.

But Belle didn’t give her the chance. She interrupted Penelope’s act. “Aunt Penelope, I wasn’t joking earlier. If you still want to continue playing this game, we can go and talk to Grandfather right now and see what he thinks about your shouting and yelling on the second day after our wedding.

Penelope was completely stunned.

She was good at using the weapon of public opinion, and it was because of her methods that Adam gained such a bad reputation.

But now… Belle had showed up and made things very difficult to deal with.

If she didn’t allow Belle to head off to get something to eat, wouldn’t she become an unreasonable. elder?

Then the good reputation she had worked so hard for would be ruined.

Penelope gritted her teeth, forced a smile on her face, and said, “F–Forget it. You can head off and get something to eat.”

“Thank you, Aunt Penelope.” Belle walked back to Adam.

She naturally wrapped her arms around Adam’s.

Adam was a little confused and gave her a puzzled look, but then Belle winked playfully at him.

A strange sensation arouse in Adam’s heart. It was as if something had gently brushed against it, giving him a tingling feeling he couldn’t quite describe with words.

She was really different..

Adam couldn’t help but put on a faint smile.

Once they were out of Penelope’s sight, Belle stuck out her tongue. “Fortunately, you came in time.”

Adam chuckled. “You seemed to be handling everything with ease.“

“It’s just acting, after all. You’ll know how to handle such situations after you’ve seen enough.” Belle shrugged nonchalantly.

Yana was no less of an actress than Penelope.

However, Belle felt she owed Yana, so she always backed down.

But she didn’t owe Penelope anything, so she wasn’t going to back down in front of Penelope.

“After I’ve seen enough?” Adam keenly caught the key point.

“It’s nothing.” Belle waved her hand, not intending to dwell on the topic.

Thinking of the documents he had just acquired, Adam’s eyes darkened.

It seemed that the things written on those documents had only scratched the surface.

But it didn’t matter. He had a lifetime to get to know his wife.

Adam ruffled Belle’s hair again. He suddenly liked this gesture. Probably it was because Belle’s hair was smooth, soft, and had a very pleasant touch. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

“There’s no need to argue with them in the future,” said Adam. “Even if it’s acting, I don’t want to see you cry. Things such as reputation are not important to me.”

There was tenderness in Adam’s words.

Belle’s heart skipped a beat.

She clenched her hands nervously but still looked at him bravely. “Adam, I know you’re strong and don’t care about the rumors, but that’s not a reason for others to falsely accuse you.”

In just one day, Belle had seen through a lot of things. She was sure that Adam’s stepmother

contributed a lot to his bad reputation!

Belle’s gaze was clear, with a hint of seriousness.

Adam’s heart began to race, suddenly recalling that stubborn and brave girl standing alone in front of the priest yesterday.

“I know you don’t like getting involved in arguments, but now that I’m here, I will do my best to help you clear your reputation,” said Belle. “Someone as good as you shouldn’t be subjected to such accusations!”

Adag was surprised by Belle’s words.

After a long pause, he leaned in and slowly approached Belle.

They stood so close that Belle could even feel Adam’s breath.

This caused Belle to blush.

Adam stared at her intently and thought, “She’s really not afraid of my face, but she’s genuinely a little nervous. What is she so nervous about? Is she afraid that I will kiss her? But she was very brave when she kissed me back at the church.”

Thinking of that scene, a hint of amusement appeared in Adam’s eyes.

He straightened up and said casually, “Stop praising me.”

Belle, who was waiting for Adam’s kiss, felt a little surprised and wondered, “Is that it?”
