he's back . " Eva saw Adriana by the window and rushed out , stammering nervously . Adriana stood up , surprised . Curtis is back ? Didn't he say next Friday ? " Mr. Lincoln changed his schedule . I told him that Ms. Reese came back today ... That's why he changed his schedule . I shouldn't have said anything ... " Eva looked guilty . " He's mad right now . " Adriana suddenly felt anxious . Has Curtis changed his mind ? Did Belinda cry and throw a fit , and now he's having second thoughts ?

Panicking , she hurried inside , not sure how to explain things so that Curtis would still keep his promise . If he backed out now , she'd be in serious trouble . In the living room , Belinda stood next to the couch , eyes red and puffy from crying . She looked upset . Curtis sat on the couch , his mood tense and heavy .

I told her not to come back for a while and bother you , but she ignored that . She was also rude and disrespectful ." Adriana's palms sweated . She waved her hands frantically . " It's fine , really . Belinda just speaks her mind . I ... I'm quite fond of her . " Adriana had gotten pretty good at saying things she didn't mean - a skill she picked up from being around Matthew . " Hmph . Like I care if you like me , " Belinda muttered .

Curtis's mood instantly turned icy again , and even Adriana felt a chill . " Belinda ! I get that you're going through a rebellious phase , but Adriana is going to be my wife - she's your elder . If I see you disrespect her again , you're going straight back to the dorm and not coming back . Ever ! " Belinda started crying , wiping her tears as she glared at him . " You're yelling at me because of her ! Even my mom never yelled at me like this ! " Adriana's heart almost stopped . Oh great , now she brought up his first love .

" If your mom were still here , she wouldn't let you talk to your elders like that either ! " Curtis stood up , staring at Belinda . " This is your last chance . Apologize sincerely , and then move out ." Adriana was shocked . He's actually being this strict with his first love's daughter ? " No ... She doesn't need to move out , " Adriana quickly spoke up . " You don't have to indulge her or be afraid of her . You're her elder . It's fine to be firm with her, " Curtis cut her off , turning to look at her . 108 AdminJ
