My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

[122]



Adrianna didn’t know what expression to put on her face. Purple? Red? Green? Orange? Or maybe gray when she came out of her boarding house; Samuel’s car was already parked there, looking beautiful. And there he was, posing for the cover of an automotive magazine.

Well, Adrianna admitted that Sam was handsome. Incredibly handsome. Wearing stylish sunglasses on his sharp nose, his thick black hair shining under the sunset, and not to mention his athletic physique. Oh… There was one more thing that added to Sam’s appeal.

His outfit.

He looked like he was attending a fashion week, just like those viral on social media. The difference was Sam took a shower and smelled good.

“Are you ready?” Samuel asked.

Adrianna snorted disapprovingly at Sam’s greeting. Ready for what? Since school, Adrianna had rejected his invitation to go together hundreds of times. Besides, since when did a kindergarten teacher have official business? As far as Adrianna knew, based on the experiences of her colleagues, this was the first time her kindergarten had any official business!

What a waste of time!

“Now tell me honestly, what’s the purpose of going to Beverly Hills for official business?” Adrianna demanded.

“Huh? There is official business,” Sam replied without a hint of guilt. Although he knew that Adrianna would reject his invitation to visit Beverly Hills together, Sam didn’t care. His mind was focused on going to Beverly Hills with Adrianna and using it as an opportunity to get closer to her.

“I don’t believe you!” Adrianna exclaimed defiantly. Her arms were folded across her chest, and she was slightly out of breath from dealing with stubborn Sam.

“Just believe it, Adrianna. Besides, you do want to go to Beverly Hills. Might as well.”

Adrianna sighed. “This is too much! He said he wanted to be forgiven but kept causing trouble.”

“Well, if I’ve already been forgiven for yesterday’s mistake, there’s no need to discuss it again, right?”

“Talking to you gives me a headache!”

Sam chuckled. “That’s why you shouldn’t keep refusing. That way, I won’t have to insist, and you won’t be overwhelmed.”

“It’s emotionally painful,” Adrianna complained mercilessly. Her words didn’t faze Sam. He didn’t care if Adrianna would be angry or speak curtly to him during the journey.

“Come on, and it’s getting late.” Sam kindly opened the door for Adrianna to get in. Adrianna, with her only belongings being a reasonably large bag and a tote bag that she never left behind, intended to take them and put them in the back seat. But she refused.

“I can do it myself!”

Sam just shrugged. He observed how Adrianna moved. His good intentions were rejected, but it didn’t deter him from wanting to be by her side. Let others think he was strange or going overboard. What mattered was capturing Adrianna’s attention and her ultimate goal.

Sam hurriedly got into the car after making sure nothing was left behind. He started the engine and turned on the audio system.

“What kind of music do you like?”

Adrianna fell silent. She purposely closed her eyes, not wanting to converse with Sam. She couldn’t help but feel that Sam was becoming more annoying, especially regarding official business. Why lie if there was something he wanted to achieve?

Seeing Adrianna’s behavior this time, Sam just smiled. “Sleep then. I know you must be holding a lot of resentment towards me. It’s okay. I understand.”

“Noisy!”

“Even though I kindly offered to take you. And to make myself smarter in teaching the children.”

Adrianna straightened her back. Her eyes widened in disbelief at Sam’s words. “Are you crazy? Do you think I’ve been stupid all this time?”

Sam chuckled.ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

“If I’m so stupid, why did the former school principal accept my job application?”

Adrianna couldn’t comprehend what Sam had just said. Just being in the same room as Sam at the office was enough to make her irritated. She already had a pile of work that frustrated her daily, and now this? Goodness, God! She might have done it by now if it were allowed to hit Sam on the head.

Adrianna rarely acted rudely. She rarely spoke in a curt tone. Her demeanor was gentle and calm. Dealing with a friend who often compromised like Chloe kept her personality from changing too much. Although quiet, Adrianna was not someone who enjoyed being bullied. She would fight back in her way, just like she was doing with Sam now. Her patience had run out.

“That’s not it, Adrianna,” Sam replied with a wide grin. “You can’t loosen up the tightness in your face a little, can you? You’ll age quickly if you don’t.”

“Shut up!” Adrianna snapped, refusing to accept his words.

“In front of the students and other teachers, you are known to be kind and friendly. But why not in front of me? You have a dislike for me. What did I do wrong?”

Oh God! Didn’t Sam think about his actions that irritated Adrianna?

Luckily, her phone rang loudly. She immediately reached for it, stored in her bag. Chloe’s name appeared on the screen. She quickly answered the call.

“I’m on my way there, Chloe,” Adrianna said, unable to contain her excitement. “I might arrive at my house before ten o’clock. Don’t sleep yet.”

“I already told Brad to pick you up at Beverly Hills. Just let him know when you’re out of the Beverly Hills ring road.”

Adrianna sighed. “I’m with Sam.”

Chloe’s shocked scream could be heard. She couldn’t believe what she had just heard. “You… Are you serious?”

“Very serious, Chloe,” Adrianna lazily replied. She leaned back in the passenger seat, ignoring the traffic jam that was starting to surround them. Sam’s car entered an area with heavy traffic, but she didn’t care. It was all Sam’s fault!

“How is that possible?” Chloe still couldn’t digest Adrianna’s statement. Was her friend earnest? With Sam? Well, Chloe had initially suspected that the annoying principal named Sam had caught Adrianna’s attention. But she didn’t expect Sam to make his move on Adrianna so quickly.

“I don’t want to discuss it!” Adrianna snapped impatiently. “Why did you call me?”

“Well, you must be busy dealing with Sam, right? We can talk later,” Chloe said softly. “I’ll wait for you at home. There are many things I want to share.”

“Just pray that I arrive safely there, Sa. I feel like strangling the person driving this vehicle.”

Chloe laughed on the other end. Indeed, dealing with today had been exhausting. But knowing that Adrianna would visit made her feel a little better. At least they would be able to exchange many stories tonight.

“Don’t say that,” Chloe said. “You should be grateful for the company, Ly. If you drove alone, it would be dangerous, and I’m afraid you would arrive in Beverly Hills late, right?”

“Yeah, you’re right,” Adrianna glanced briefly at Sam, who was focused on the steering wheel. “I’ll express my sincere thanks for being inconvenienced by me.” She emphasized her words with emphasis. Sam turned his head and found the girl staring at him with horror, which sent a shiver down his spine. But since he had heard their conversation earlier, Sam just chuckled.

He allowed Adrianna to vent her frustration. For some reason, seeing Adrianna irritated made him feel happy. Was this another form of madness he had? Well, he didn’t know. But one thing was sure, Sam was delighted.

“Alright. See you at home,” Chloe said.

“Yeah. Prepare a lot of dinner. I feel like devouring everything in your house.”

On the other end of the call, Chloe burst into laughter. Adrianna’s silly remark amused her. Chloe sighed softly, letting her phone screen return to the Josh menu. She leaned back on the sofa in her office on the second floor of the café she managed, but it wasn’t enough to alleviate her fatigue.

Spending the whole day with Leonel, where he turned into a very annoying person, was genuinely bothersome. Chloe didn’t want to think about it, but Leonel clung to her mind like a leech. Chloe had tried various ways to get rid of the man from her past, but it was all in vain. Useless.

Leonel was stubborn. Incredibly stubborn and shameless!

Meanwhile, Adrianna deliberately closed her eyes again. The soft music playing from the car’s audio system calmed her down. And Sam had stopped talking to her. It was a perfect opportunity for Adrianna to fall asleep. She didn’t care if it seemed impolite in front of her boss.

Wait! Since when did Sam become her boss? Sam wasn’t an annoying boss at all!

No, he wasn’t!!!
