Chapter 63 Waiting for Her All Along As soon as Adriana spoke , the Lincolns ' extended family went silent . 52 Finished It wasn't exactly the most unifying statement , and indeed , the entire Lincoln Group depended on Curtis to run the company . Harold seemed to understand finally and nodded . " Since you already have a Lincoln heir , you're part of the family . All that stuff online , we'll take care of it . Just keep your head down from now on ." Adriana sensed it was a good point to stop and nodded obediently . " She's always been well - behaved . You should be telling me this , not her .

I didn't want to marry at first because of my age , but since I married someone younger , I should cherish her and treat her well , " Curtis said , gripping her delicate hand tighter . He was aiming that at Harold . Curtis was about seven years older than Adriana ; he figured it was the perfect age gap . Harold heard this and had no further complaints . " Alright , let's get ready for dinner ," Harold said , snorting in dissatisfaction , waving everyone to leave . Rosa huffed in protest and got up to leave . " Aunt Rosa , Adriana has prepared gifts for you and the other aunts .

My wife is young . From now on , while she's with the Lincolns , I hope all of you will look after her ," Curtis said . Today , he had stood up to Rosa , fearing she or the others would try to trip Adriana up . He hadn't married Adriana so she could come to the Lincoln Estate just to compete in family politics . Kenneth and Tom carried piles of gifts - luxury items of considerable value . Adriana looked at Curtis in surprise . When had he bought all these gifts ? " Oh my , you really went all out ... Just look at this ! " Rosa and the others beamed , unable to hide their delight .

After all , who doesn't like expensive presents ? " Oh , this bag - I've wanted it for ages ! Your uncle never bought it for me , " Rosa said happily , warming up toward Adriana . " Adriana , how long will you be in Harborton ? If you have time , I'll take you shopping . " Adriana opened her mouth in shock . The speed at which they had changed their attitude was astonishing . After the aunts and uncles left , Adriana whispered to Curtis . " When did you prepare all these gifts ? " He smiled . " I wanted to prevent them from making things difficult for you , so I had them ready in advance .

" Adriana's heart skipped a beat . He's amazing . I wonder who he will end up with eventually . 1/3 20:01 Mon , Jan 5 GO Chapter 63 Waiting for Her All Along Stop it . It's not gonna be me anyway ... Adriana silently warned herself . ༥ ༣༧ . Finished . " Jeremy , any news about Nicole ? " Harold asked as he and Jeremy walked toward the backyard . His eyes hadn't left Adriana since she stopped speaking and then spoke again . He hadn't taken his gaze her . " Harold , don't you think Adriana ... looks like Audrey ? " Jeremy asked softly .

Harold paused , glancing back at Adriana , still talking with Curtis . " Yeah , I guess she does ." off " I've never wronged anyone in my life , except Audrey . If I hadn't married Audrey back then , I wouldn't have received the Barton support and reached where I am today ... " Jeremy's voice was hoarse . " But I didn't take care of Audrey's son properly , nor protect my granddaughter . Nicole is still out there , drifting . " Harold sighed . " Better that she's drifting than gone . Nicole is alive - that's a blessing ." Jeremy wiped his tears and nodded . " Yeah , as long as she's alive .

When I find her , I'll spoil her twice as much . That's the important thing . " After dinner at the Lincolns , Curtis took Adriana on a tour of the estate . A centuries - old family , the Lincolns had been imperial merchants and nobles way back when . After hundreds of years , they still stood proud and unshaken . Adriana was amazed by the architecture and stunned by the collection of genuine artifacts . Even the vases in the main hall were top - quality porcelain . " The unique Southern Colonial - style architecture makes the whole place feel so open ...

" Amelia couldn't help but admire its graceful design , genuinely impressed by how striking it looked . Almost instinctively , she wanted to share it with Ethan . " Back in high school , the first blueprint I ever drew was inspired by classic Southern architecture ! " Curtis looked at her ; in that moment , Adriana seemed free of any distractions , her eyes full of excitement . " Did that design win an award ? " He asked . Adriana paused , then nodded reluctantly . " Yes , but my teacher plagiarized it when submitting . The award went under her name .

" A flicker of sympathy crossed Curtis's eyes . " You'll win many more awards in the future . " Adriana smiled at him . " Thank you ." Back at the hotel , Adriana asked cautiously , " Why did you tell Harold I'm pregnant ? What if he finds out I'm not later ? " Curtis looked innocent , " Then ... guess we'll just have to work a little harder and make sure you get pregnant this time around . " Adriana's cheeks turned bright red . She stammered , realizing Curtis had been waiting for her all along . 2/3 20:01 Mon , Jan 5 GO .
