Chapter 140 Where Did You Learn That From ? " Curtis , do you want a boy or a girl ? " Adriana asked softly . Finished " I like both . Boy or girl , I don't care , as long as our baby comes into the world safely . " Curtis reached over and ruffled Adriana's hair again . Adriana eyed Curtis with suspicion . That gesture really felt familiar . " When I was a kid , I met an older boy with a Labrador . He would always ruffle the Labrador's head and then mine ." Adriana glanced at Curtis and spoke softly . Back then , she couldn't see , so she never knew what he looked like .

But she knew that Labrador would always be beside her , tongue hanging out , waiting for a head rub just like her . Getting her head rubbed had become a kind of comfort for Adriana . I am probably just like a stray puppy . I just want a shelter , a place to belong . Curtis's fingers froze for a second , and he spoke quietly . " I didn't ruffle the Labrador's head and then yours ... I always ruffled your head first , then patted the Labrador . " Adriana was eating noodles , and hearing Curtis mutter under his breath , she didn't quite catch it , so she looked at him curiously .

" What did you say ? " Curtis smiled and changed the subject . " Do you want to get a puppy? " He hoped Adriana could have a pet at home for company . " Can I ? " Adriana's eyes lit up . She'd once found a stray dog and secretly brought it home , but Matthew found out and got really mad . He had a thing about animals being dirty and wouldn't let her keep it , so she ended up giving the dog away . " Why not ? This is your home . " Curtis rested his chin on his hand , watching Adriana . Adriana's heart sped up . " But ... since I'm pregnant , aren't you worried a pet might be unsafe ? " " No.

As long as you get a puppy from a reputable breeder , have it checked at the animal hospital , and bring it home after a bath , it's totally safe ." Curtis assured her . 1/3 10:19 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 140 Where Did You Learn That From ? 87 Finished " Then ... can it be a Labrador ? " Adriana had always liked Labradors , probably because of that childhood memory . Back then , she couldn't see , and when she cried , the Labrador would come and comfort her . The housekeeper told her the Labrador was a therapy dog , meant to comfort people's pain . " Sure . " Curtis nodded , agreeing .

Adriana was thrilled and gave Curtis a kiss on the cheek . Sucking up to your sugar daddy always gets you more rewards - a classic Bonnie quote . Curtis froze for a second , then looked at Adriana resignedly . " Where did you learn that from ? And then there was that whole " call me daddy " thing .... Bzzz . Just then , Curtis's phone vibrated . " Curtis , my mom is coughing up blood ! " It was Belinda crying on the phone , saying Cynthia was coughing up blood . Adriana froze for a moment . Cynthia really would do anything to make Curtis come over . " Call the doctor .

" Curtis frowned , then hung up . go " Curtis ... you should check on her . " Adriana lowered her head . She knew Cynthia was doing it on purpose , but she couldn't stop him from going . She knew very well that once Cynthia called Curtis over , there was no way she'd let him leave that night . " Finish your food first . After you eat , you can come with me to the hospital ." Curtis didn't seem in any rush , gesturing for Adriana to keep eating . Adriana was surprised . " I'm going too ? " Curtis really didn't seem anxious at all . Maybe he really doesn't love Cynthia after all .

So , seeing isn't always believing , and hearing doesn't always mean it's true ... Everyone said Curtis truly loved Cynthia , that he gave up his fortune for her , even making up detailed stories about it . Maybe none of it was ever true . You really can't judge a person by what you see or hear . 2/3 10:19 Tue , Jan 6 Chapter 140 Where Did You Learn That From ? Finished " If you don't want to go , you can just wait at home for me ." Curtis just didn't want Adriana to feel bored staying home alone . Since Eva was with Cynthia at the hospital , she couldn't keep Adriana company .

" Let's go together ! " Adriana had her own little plan . If she went with Curtis , Cynthia would have no excuse to keep him there . Eva and Belinda were both there , so Cynthia wouldn't really need Curtis there . Even if he owed her , that didn't mean she could use him like that . " I'll eat faster ." Adriana started eating her pasta quickly , though she was a little bummed . Curtis's pasta was so good , and now she had to scarf it down . " No need to hurry , eat slowly . Eva and Belinda are both there , and there are doctors at the hospital .

We're not the ones doing the emergency care , so we'd just be waiting around anyway ." Curtis said calmly , pouring Adriana a glass of water . He'd already told Eva to keep an eye on things and to call if there was an emergency . Since Eva didn't call and it was Belinda who did , that meant it probably wasn't urgent . Adriana's fingers froze for a second , and she looked at Curtis a few times . What he said really did make sense . Adriana quietly finished her pasta and obediently took her plate to the sink . Curtis slipped his arms around her from behind and washed the dishes that way .

Adriana's face turned bright red as Curtis held her in his arms . This move ... is seriously way too intimate . 118 AdminJ
