Ms. Escape : Marrying to Run , Fighting to Rise Chapter 60 The Family Dinner 52 Finished Adriana had once read a gossip article saying that Moonridge Bay only hosted billionaires and a single night there cost at least hundreds of thousand dollars . " How much does one night here cost ? " she whispered , half out of curiosity . " You should ask how much your shared marital assets will increase every night you stay here ," Curtis said lightly , raising an eyebrow as he took her hand . It took Adriana a moment to realize that Moonridge Bay was the Lincoln's property . Her ears went warm .

Shared marital assets ? She was just a contract wife . How could she even think about his wealth ? The dazzlingly luxurious hotel made Adriana feel like her soul had left her body . It was just too gorgeous . The glass elevator was like a sightseeing lift , gliding smoothly through a world of extravagance . Adriana could smell the money just from the air . Sure enough , the higher a person was , the better the view they got to see . She stared at Curtis with curiosity and Adriana fell into deep thought . He was truly handsome .

He gave off a billionaire - boss vibe in a suit and a hot model without one . He had a great body and was tall . Yet , a man who spent hundreds of thousands to stay in a hotel for one night could also go with her to eat few dollars street food . So , what kind of person was Curtis , really ? " Staring at me ? " The elevator doors slid open , but Adriana was still looking . " Does money make me look better ? " Curtis teased . When he joked around , it made him feel more approachable , unlike the distance he had when he wasn't speaking . Adriana's ears turned red as she followed him out .

Was she really going to sleep with him tonight ? Inside the room , her mind was a mess . She wasn't paying attention and bumped right into his chest . " Take a shower and get some rest . You've had a long day ! Curtis said on his own , telling Adriana to get some rest . Adriana's eyes lit up . She was relieved that they didn't have to do it that night . " Curtis , do you like kids ? " she asked , trying to start a normal conversation . 12 Finished 20:00 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 60 The Family Dinner Curtis had just come out of the bathroom , his hair still slightly wet . He glanced at Adriana .

Adriana was hiding under the blanket , tucked in perfectly straight , clearly still nervous . " No , " he said honestly . " Then , why do you still want a child ? " she asked quietly . " Just for the sake of the Lincolns , to put your grandfather's mind at ease ? " Curtis fell silent and didn't answer . Adriana realized she might have gone too far and scooted over toward the edge of the bed , leaving two- thirds of the space for Curtis . " Not afraid of falling off ? " he asked , sitting on the edge and glancing her way . Adriana was too nervous to turn around .

She wiggled in the blanket toward the middle of the bed . Curtis chuckled softly , finished his work , and turned off the lights . It was her first time sharing a bed with a man she barely knew and her heart was pounding fast . She'd been sleepy on the plane , but now she couldn't close her eyes . Curtis was true to his word and didn't touch her . They lay in the same bed without any physical contact . When she woke up the next morning , the space in the middle of the bed was still empty .

" We're going to the Lincold Estate later to see my grandfather , " he said while buttoning his shirt calmly . " Okay , " Adriana murmured , watching his back from the bed . Was this man really my husband ? Even if it was only on paper . " Mr. Curtis , Mr. Harold has arranged a family dinner to welcome you and Ms. Xander , " the driver said when he came to pick them up . Adriana thought it meant Harold valued her and wanted to make her feel welcome . But Curtis's expression wasn't very pleasant . He took out his phone and immediately called Harold . " Grandpa , I told you , Adriana is timid .

Don't scare her . " " As a woman of the Lincolns , she can't handle being scared by others but only by me ? " He snapped , clearly displeased . " Grandpa , a family dinner is an outdated tradition , " Curtis said as he frowned . " This is the Lincolns ' family rule . If you want to marry her , she has to respect it ," Harold said , then he hung up . Adriana was curious . " What exactly was this Lincolns ' family dinner ? " 2/3 20:00 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 60 The Family Dinner 52 Finished " If you don't want to go , I can take you shopping instead , " Curtis said , his tone colder now .

He clearly didn't want her to attend . " What is it exactly ? " she asked again , genuinely curious . After all , wasn't her job to make Grandpa happy with her ? " It's basically a test for the Lincolns to check how obedient the woman marrying in is ." Curtis was unhappy , while Adriana frowned slightly . " This so - called tradition has never brought happiness to any woman in the family . " The men act like they're inspecting property , just to see if the new wife can submit completely . " All the Lincolns will be there . They'll make things difficult for you in every possible way .

Only if you endure it all and please them will they consider you officially accepted ." Curtis looked at Adriana . 108 € 2/2 Cedella Cedella is a passionate storyteller known for her bold romantic and spicy novels that keep readers hooked from the very first chapter.
