Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Even if Belinda said she was too soft , Adriana still couldn't stand the thought of Curtis being wronged . Family conflicts could get messy - and Curtis wasn't the kind of man who enjoyed dealing with them . But Adriana thought ... if there was something Curtis couldn't say , maybe she could say it for him . As long as Curtis was there , she wasn't afraid of anything . " Are you afraid I'll be bullied ? " Curtis laughed . Looking at Adriana , the tiredness on his face seemed to vanish completely . " Mm ... " Adriana hummed quietly .

She really was afraid he'd be wronged . With how Michael had avoided the Lincolns for over a decade , and his wife acting more like a street thug than a society woman ... " I saw Denton earlier . He was working at a café . He didn't go back to Harborton with them ." " Who knows if that father and son aren't just putting on a pity show ? " Curtis massaged his brow . He didn't understand Denton , and he had no intention of trying . He had neither a father nor a brother . That was how he saw it . " I want to go with you , " Adriana whispered . " Okay .

When I finish here , I'll go back to Haldoria and pick you up , " Curtis coaxed her gently . He always did - anything she asked , he would find a way to fulfill . Adriana suddenly became a little greedy . " Curtis ... can I come to Capitol tomorrow ? I can take the high- speed rail . It's fast . We can head to Harborton together from there ." She didn't want him traveling back and forth alone . Curtis went quiet for a long time before chuckling softly . " You miss me that much ? " Adriana didn't deny it . She really did miss him .

She wished she could pack her things right now and run to him . " Then , I'll buy the earliest ticket tomorrow , " Adriana said with excitement . Curtis didn't respond to that . He simply told her to rest well , then ended the video call . Adriana lay on her bed , staring at the empty space beside her , unable to sleep . She pulled Curtis's pillow toward her and hugged it tightly . She had never imagined she could be this hopelessly attached to someone . Before bed , Joe called her .
