Ms. Escape : Marrying to Run , Fighting to Rise Chapter 58 Orphanage Visit Adriana glanced at Curtis nervously . " I'm sorry . " " Don't apologize to me . I'm not the one you owe an apology to . " Curtis frowned . " She said that in less than two weeks , you'd divorce me . " Adriana lowered her gaze and muttered . " So , what , I married you just for looks ? " Curtis rubbed his temples in frustration . " You actually believe her nonsense ? Who's your husband here ? Me or her ? " Adriana exhaled deeply .
" She just sounded so confident ." " So you take her word for it just because she sounded sure of herself ? " Curtis let out a sharp laugh , clearly irritated . " Next time , tell me right away ." Adriana nodded obediently . " And if there's anyone you don't like , you don't have to deal with them or show them any courtesy , including my grandfather ," Curtis added calmly . She looked at him curiously . But wasn't this whole fake marriage for Harold's sake ? How could she possibly disrespect him ? " If there's ever an issue with my grandfather , he'll come to me first , not you .
I'll handle it . All I want from you is to trust me . No questions ." Curtis said evenly . Adriana nodded again . The car stopped at the old orphanage grounds . The children were laughing and playing basketball in the yard . Most of them had been abandoned due to disabilities or health issues , leaving them unadopted and dependent on the orphanage .

" Mary from the kitchen shouted excitedly when she saw her .
Moments later , Lydia came out with several of the staff . " Lydia ."

" Adriana asked as she hugged her . 92 Finished Lydia smiled and patted her back . " We're doing alright . The renovation approval finally came through . We almost had to shut down because of funding , but ... the Lincoln Group's charity foundation found us . " Her voice trembled with emotion . It seemed their luck had finally changed . Adriana turned to Curtis with gratitude . " Lydia , this is Mr. Lincoln , the CEO of Lincoln Group . " Lydia's eyes widened , overcome with joy . " Thank you so much ... " Curtis approached and shook her hand .
" No , thank you for taking care of Adriana all these years ." Lydia blinked , surprised , glancing over at Adriana . Her heart raced with unease . Weren't they supposed to keep the marriage hidden ? Did Curtis really have to say that here ? " I'm Adriana's husband . Curtis Lincoln . " He introduced himself without hesitation . Adriana opened her mouth , uncertain why he kept revealing their relationship everywhere they went . If this marriage was just for show within his company , there was no point in telling Lydia and the others .
Because once they divorced , how would she ever explain it ? " Husband ? Adriana , you're married ? Why didn't you tell me ... " Lydia's voice wavered . She knew Adriana wasn't the type to hide something like that ; was there more to the story? Feeling guilty , Adriana murmured , " Lydia ... it's just that Curtis and I are still figuring things out . I wanted to wait until things were certain before saying anything , in case it didn't work out ." " Marriage is no small matter , dear . I didn't even get you anything ."

" Curtis nodded and took Adriana's hand . Adriana's pulse jumped . Even though their relationship was fake , Curtis ' act was almost too convincing . A wedding ? How could they possibly pull that off ?
