Part 22
Adaline groped around, trying to find where her phone was. Usually, she placed her phone not far from her bed, but why couldn't she reach it?
She got up, rubbing her eyes. 'Where am I?' That was the first question that crossed her mind. Her eyes widened as her memory returned. Wasn't she supposed to be on the way to Kansas? The last thing she remembered was being in Altezza's car.
'Did I fall asleep during the journey?' Oh no, she embarrassed herself again. Quickly scanning the room and sharpening her hearing, she searched for her phone. She didn't want her phone's alarm to wake up the entire household.
'There it is!' She silently exclaimed as she saw her handbag lying on a square chair not far from her bed. Even her clothes bag was beside it. Adaline grabbed her bag, took out her phone, and turned off the alarm. After that, she threw herself onto the soft square chair.
The only light she had

"Are you sure everything will be okay?" "In your opinion, do you think they can accept me?" "What if they don't like me and ask us not to get married? I don't have the money to cover the cancellation fees!" "Is my appearance respectful according to your parents?" Those questions, and other questions with a similar essence, continued to be uttered throughout their journey like a cassette tape being played over and over again. Altezza gave no answers except nods and shakes. She preferred to save her voice to respond to the questions her family would throw rather than answering Adaline's trivial chatter. It doesn't mean she doesn't want to reassure. It's just that, according to her, the words she utters won't mean anything if the girl is still nervous like this. They arrived at the housing complex where the Antony family resides. The complex's security guard, who already knew Altezza, greeted h

"Oh, my God..." The praise came along with a hug around her shoulders. Adaline could only stand still as she was pulled by a middle-aged woman who looked beautiful in front of her. "Darling, look who Altezza brought." She said emotionally. Her chubby hands framed Adaline's face, and then both of her cheeks were kissed so quickly."You disobedient child. So, you intentionally let me scold you back then, even though you already planned to bring her here?" The woman directed a series of punches at Altezza. Instead of dodging by running away, he held both sides of Adaline's body and took cover behind her, using Adaline as a living shield."I told you that I would find anyone on the way and bring them to you, and this is the person." He said while advancing Adaline towards his mother."You disrespectful brat! So rude!" The woman in front of him yelled again while trying to hit Altezza. "How could you pick up such a beautiful

Altezza Pov I deliberately waited in Antony's office while the women were getting ready. Antony entered shortly after, locking the room from the inside. "Are you serious about her, Brother?" he asked without beating around the bush, just like Antony usually did. I thought that after getting to know Claire, he would at least become a bit more chatty. But that wasn't the case. "Serious in what sense, Brother?" "You know what I mean," he replied. "She's a good girl," his cousin said sincerely. I just nodded in agreement. "It's not right to play with a girl as good and innocent as her." "I'm not playing with her, Brother. Our relationship is mutual. I help her, and she helps me," I replied matter-of-factly. "So, what's the endgame here?" "What do you mean?" "I know you're not fully recovered, Al. Jovanka's

Adaline's POV The journey from Antony's house to Claire's took only five minutes. The procession of three cars landed in the parking lot of a rather luxurious house, though not as large as Antony's. Yes, Claire is indeed from an affluent family. Her father owns a well-known cement factory. Antony's proposal event went smoothly; I was even moved witnessing the process when Antony asked Claire to be his future wife, right in front of her mother. As a mere spectator, I couldn't help but be touched, especially seeing Claire. As the evening approached, after family discussions and a meal, we finally headed home. Letizia insisted that I ride with her since the parents were taking another car with a separate driver. Antony would stay at Claire's house and return home later in the night. I had no idea where Altezza went, as Letizia's car had left Claire's house earlier. I waite

In the evening, they all gathered in the backyard of Antony's residence.Gian and Farhat—Letizia's husband—were busy with the meat on the grill, while Letizia herself was putting their son to sleep in the bedroom.Antony's newly acquainted teenage daughter, Adaline, and her friend Flavia, were sitting together with Claire's niece, Abigail. The two teenage girls seemed engrossed in watching a video on the laptop placed on a pillow, occasionally screaming in excitement or humming. It seemed like they were watching a concert of their favorite boy band.Meanwhile, Adaline and Claire chose to join the middle-aged women in the kitchen, who were busy preparing desserts and drinks.Adaline was actually confused about what to do, as all the tasks were already being handled by the three mothers in front of her. Consequently, she and Claire just sat quietly, occasionally responding to the parents' conversations. Fortunately for Adaline, Claire was there; otherwise, she would have been truly unsu

"Nothing special, we've been working in the same office for three years. You can guess for yourselves how we met," Altezza casually answered. He chose to put the food from Adaline's plate into his mouth."Ah, an office romance, it seems. Then, who first said they liked the other?" The questioning continued."According to you?" Altezza responded with another question."I know, you were the first one to confess your liking. Your hobby is showering poetic and cheesy lines to all the women," Claire replied flatly. Letizia and Gian nodded in agreement."Who says?" Altezza wouldn't give in."So, it's Adaline?" Gian looked at Adaline, who returned his gaze with surprise."M-me? What about me?" The girl asked in panic."Are you daydreaming, Madam?" Altezza whispered in her ear, making Adaline feel ticklish, even throughout her body. Her stomach seemed to be tickled by something she couldn't identify."That's impossible. Adaline is shy. Even if she becomes a grandma, she might not express her

A week passed just like that. The relationship between Altezza and Adaline returned to its usual state. No trivial chat messages, as couples in love might exchange. The incoming messages only revolved around inquiries, notifications, or greetings from the young man's parents and also his mother.Yes, whether it was him or Altezza, both were merely message intermediaries. Nothing more. Altezza was also occupied with a pile of work that he had to finish for Antony's wedding in two days, which would last for three weeks. After the grand celebration, the Quirino extended family planned to go on vacation together.Adaline had just returned from her supervisor's office when Tessa mentioned that her phone kept vibrating in her locked desk drawer. Yes, she always kept her phone on vibrate mode while working. Her mother knew that if Adaline couldn't be reached on her phone, she would contact her office number, just like Altezza.So, if her phone kept vibrating, and there were no calls to her o

They arrived at one of the malls in the city center. A mall with a special design and, of course, filled with outlets of international retail products. Naturally, the prices of items inside were fantastic. For someone like Adaline, the price tags on each item were not within her range. She didn't even dare to enter the outlets of branded goods that had entered the global market, as it was clear that the price of a single item could reach three to four times Adaline's salary.But, of course, it was different for her future mother-in-law. For that woman, amounts in the tens, hundreds, and billions were like small change to Adaline. Not of great value, but very much needed when buying bottled water or paying for public facilities. Adaline's hands were already filled with paper bags bearing the logos of renowned boutiques. Under the insistence of her future in-law, she reluctantly accepted new clothes and even sexy sleepwear that was intentionally chosen for her.Her future mother-in-law
