Chapter 77 Her Goal 51 Finished " Mr. Langford , I think we should keep our distance . I'm married now . " Adriana yanked her hand free from Matthew and stepped back . " Adriana ! " Matthew grabbed her wrist again . " Do you have to wait until Curtis dumps you before you come back to me ? " I admit , I haven't always handled things well with you before , and I can improve ... " Matthew actually lowered himself to say he would change . But Adriana only found him laughable . " You've already announced your engagement to Natasha . What's the point of saying that to me ?

Are you planning to get married to her first so I can be your mistress later ? " Matthew frowned . " Adriana , if I don't marry ... would you come back to me ? " Adriana was genuinely surprised . Matthew actually wants to break off the engagement ? But he loves Natasha so much . What is he playing at ? " If you don't marry , would you marry me ? Matthew , you wouldn't , because you worry too much . And the Langfords wouldn't allow it either . " After four years together , Adriana knew him too well . Matthew had his complications , and Adriana understood that .

She had never expected him to marry her . If the Langfords knew Matthew intended to marry a powerless orphan , they'd make his life hell , kick him out , and let one of the illegitimate kids take his place . " Adriana ... " Matthew's voice grew low . " I can give you everything you want ... you just need to give me some time ... " The Langfords ' current situation was obvious to outsiders . Both illegitimate sons had joined the Langford Group , and everyone knew Matthew was under pressure . The Langfords supported Matthew marrying Natasha because the Joneses held influence in Haldoria .

Matthew could marry Adriana - but it would take time . He needed to secure his position in the Langford Group . He needed to handle the two illegitimate sons first . Adriana was silent for a moment , then slowly pushed Matthew's hand away . " Matthew , stop fooling yourself . You don't love me . " Four years had passed , and she still couldn't make him fall for her . She didn't believe he had any feelings for her now . Matthew's pride and competitive streak drove him . Ife didn't want his favorite toy to fall into someone else's hands - fothing more .

" I wish you and Natasha a lifetime of happiness , " Adriana said before turning back to the dining room . Matthew opened his mouth to explain , but she clearly didn't believe him anymore . Unless Curtis truly abandoned Adriana and forced her back onto the same desperate path from four years ago , Adriana would probably never return to Matthew . 1/3 20:05 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 77 Her Goal Matthew leaned against the wall , massaging his forehead in frustration . He didn't want to hurt Adriana , nor did he want to drive her into desperation again .

But if that was the only way to have Adriana willingly stay by his side ... he had no choice . He realized ... he truly couldn't live without her . Finished He had understood too late , and over the past four years , he hadn't held Adriana tightly enough - he had been far too lenient . " Adriana , sometimes leaving a way out for others is also leaving a way out for yourself . If you don't compromise about Mia and Rufus , you'll anger both the Langfords and Joneses . Then ... " Natasha's voice was low and threatening as she saw Adriana return .

" She's not just angering the Langfords and Joneses . She's got us Bartons to deal with too , " Danielle sneered at Adriana . An orphan offending three powerful families at once - it was obvious what her future would look like . " I'll be waiting for the day Curtis throws you aside . " Natasha smiled , as if she were already anticipating it . Adriana said nothing . She was afraid , but she still refused to compromise . When Curtis returned , Adriana sat obediently in her chair . " Are you full ? Once you're done , we'll leave . " Adriana jumped to her feet and nodded vigorously .

Gosh , I'm so full . She was so full that she felt like she might burp . Curtis picked up a napkin and wiped the corner of Adriana's mouth , then he held her hand as they prepared to leave . " Curtis ... " Danielle gave Nicole a meaningful look . She quickly stood up . " Can we exchange contact information ? I'm going to college in Haldoria , and Grandpa said if I run into trouble there , I could reach out to you . " " Honey , please add Nicole's contact info . Take care of her when she's in Haldoria , " Curtis said , pulling the slightly stiff Adriana into his arms .

Before she could react , he grabbed her phone , unlocked it with her face ID , and smoothly scanned Nicole's contact . Nicole froze , stunned . Curtis is actually having Adriana add me ? It's obvious he's rejecting me . Her eyes reddened as she stood silently . Curtis didn't care and carried Adriana out . Adriana hadn't even reacted yet when Curtis canceled the friend request on her phone , 2/3 20:05 Mon , Jan 5 Chapter 77 Her Goal Adriana blinked . " Is it okay not to add her? " " Do you really think her goal was to add you? " Curtis tossed the phone back to Adriana .
