Ms. Escape: Marrying to Run, Fighting to Rise Novel

Chapter 83 Do You Recognize Her ? Adriana took a deep breath , holding back her laughter until her cheeks ached . Finally , the car fell silent . Curtis slowly closed his eyes . Adriana remained in Curtis's arms . Even as he rested his eyes , he refused to let her move aside . In that intimate position , Adriana quietly studied Curtis's face up close . This face is truly flawless ... 1 Finished Suddenly , Tom slammed on the brakes . Adriana , thrown forward by the motion , crashed back into Curtis , landing face - first in his arms . Her cheek brushed right up against his , like a kiss .

Curtis kept his eyes closed , but the corner of his mouth curved into a faint smile . " Mr. Lincoln ... we've arrived ." The car stopped at the old downtown strip of Harbor Bay . The place was packed with food stalls , their signs all jumbled together , making the whole street look pretty chaotic . Nicole stepped out and froze in place . " Curtis ... what is this place ? Why are there so many people ? " She complained , clearly expecting Curtis to take her to an upscale mall for luxury goods and jewelry . Instead , they'd ended up on a busy snack street , swarming with tourists .

" That dessert shop over there is authentic . The owner's master came all the way from Govendale ." Curtis ignored Nicole completely , holding Adriana's hand as he led her toward the dessert shop . " This street is so bustling ! " Adriana's eyes sparkled as she took in the scene . It looked like something straight out of a movie . " I heard the rent here is insane . Even a tiny spot costs a fortune ! " Curtis smiled , looking at Adriana . " Half of this street belongs to you ." Adriana's mouth dropped open . She didn't really get it . " The whole strip belongs to the Lincolns .

It's joint property , " Curtis said casually , walking to the dessert shop with a long line and joining it patiently . Today , the street was packed with locals and tourists alike . Curtis was tall and handsome , so he quickly drew attention , Young women were sneaking photos of him with their phones . Adriana lingered for a moment before taking a deep breath and following him in line . Even a billionaire has to wait in line , it seems . Meanwhile , Nicole reluctantly queued , jealousy flashing in her eyes . If I had joined the Lincolns sooner , I'd be the one marrying Curtis !

Half the street could have been mine ! 1/3 20:08 Mon , Jan 5 GJ TA Chapter 83 Do You Recognize Her ? จ Finished This was Harborton's historic district . Though it looked a bit rundown , the rent wasn't cheap - it was one of the city's prime commercial areas . This entire block of shops had long been the Lincolns ' property , purchased by Harold in his younger days . Even if the Lincolns went bankrupt , they wouldn't starve . Just the rental income easily brought in over 100 million a year .... Thinking that this would eventually be hers , Nicole couldn't help but feel superior .

" Curtis , this whole street belongs to the Lincolns . Why are we waiting in line ? Can't we just go in and have the owner serve us are , directly ? " Curtis glanced at Nicole indifferently , pointing to a nearby bank . " See that bank ? It's full of money . Why don't you just go in and take it ? " Nicole was silenced , her face turning red . Adriana pressed her lips together , fighting to keep from laughing . Holding back laughter is real torture ... Finally , it was their turn . Curtis went to buy the dessert balls while Adriana and Nicole waited nearby . " You won't be happy for long .

I've heard Curtis married you only because I wasn't back yet , " Nicole provoked , staring at Adriana . " Now that I'm here , sooner or later , you'll have to step aside for me . " Adriana ignored Nicole . It was best not to provoke a high - maintenance girl like her . " I'm also studying in Haldoria . Grandpa said that after I return , I'll live in Curtis's house , " Nicole reminded Adriana proudly . " The reason Harold hasn't kicked you out yet is that you were lucky enough to be pregnant with the Lincolns ' child . He won't let the child be born out of wedlock .

So as soon as you give birth , you'll be kicked out . " Adriana looked down at her stomach , thinking she probably wasn't pregnant yet . If Harold found out she wasn't , he'd kick her out immediately . A small selfish thought crossed her mind . For some reason , she didn't want to leave Curtis just yet .... She knew she'd have to go eventually , but maybe it wouldn't hurt to stay a little longer . " Mr. Lincoln ! " The dessert shop owner's eyes lit up when he saw Curtis , shouting excitedly . " Why are you lining up ? You don't need to queue. " " It's all the same , " Curtis replied calmly .

The man laughed knowingly . " It's been years . Did you ever find her ? " Curtis instinctively looked at Adriana . " Do you recognize her ? " The owner peered through the window at Adriana , surprised . " Wow , she hasn't changed much ! " 20:08 Mon , Jan 5 G Chapter 83 Do You Recognize Her ? 51 Finished Curtis smiled . " Give me an extra order . I made her cry yesterday ; two portions of dessert balls should cheer her up. " The man quickly nodded , added a bunch of toppings , and handed them to Curtis .
