Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 438 - 437_1

"Has that man surnamed Black been found yet? Glades, don’t accuse me of being overly sentimental, but I have a strong feeling he was quite impressed with Adele. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have left that necklace—it’s quite valuable. Besides, it had letters that could represent his surname or first name, so it’s very possible he fell in love with Adele at first sight. I just can’t understand why he’d disappear so completely, especially after you’ve searched for so long without a single clue," Julia voiced the thoughts that had been weighing on her mind.

Adele Horne really didn’t want to mention the man surnamed Black. She also dared not share her own thoughts, afraid that Julia might misunderstand her as siding with him.

"You’ve read too many novels; you’re overthinking it. If that man really had feelings for Adele, why didn’t he wait for her to wake up? I’m still looking for him. As long as he’s on this planet, I’ll find him one day." Glades Horne didn’t believe the man surnamed Black had fallen in love with his sister at first sight. Instead, he thought the man had a domineering personality, probably feeling that Adele had become his woman and left a mark to claim her.

To hell with his dominance! As if he could be domineering in front of him, Glades Horne! Not a chance!

Some people are just born to be enemies.

At this moment, Glades Horne already felt hostility brewing towards Noah Reyes, planting a time bomb for a future major conflict.

"Is Adele really pregnant?"

Glades’s heart sank.

The conspiracy orchestrated by Orlando Evans was a lifelong pain for his sister. Over the past month, as he watched his sister gradually mature, become sensible, and grow more cheerful, he thought the pain had faded from the depths of her heart. But if she was pregnant now, that pain would be torn open once again, becoming even more unbearable.

After all, they were born of the same mother; his heartache was more intense than Julia Bluen’s.

Julia silently nodded.

The large hand Glades Horne had around her instantly clenched into a fist, his handsome face darkening ominously.

Neither husband nor wife spoke again, and a heavy atmosphere settled in the back seat of the car.

In the General Manager’s Office of the Toy Industry Company, Julia Bluen was absent, but someone was still working in the office.

Adele Horne sat in front of the computer, desperately trying to handle Julia’s tasks.

The temperature today was very cold, only five degrees Celsius. Walking outside, the cold wind felt like blades cutting one’s skin. In a word: pain!

Yet, in the office, Adele hadn’t turned on the heat. Instead, she had opened all the windows, allowing the biting cold wind to sweep in recklessly and make the office extremely cold.

She had heard that prolonged computer use during pregnancy was harmful due to radiation, potentially affecting the child’s development. She didn’t want the child in her womb. Out of resentment towards the unknown man, she deliberately used the computer excessively, hoping the radiation would harm his child.

She had also heard that miscarriages were most likely during the early stages of pregnancy. So, she opened the windows wide, letting in the cold air, hoping to catch a cold and miscarry as a result.

Her mind was in turmoil, consumed by the thought of harming the baby inside her.

Her sister-in-law had said that if she decided against keeping the child, she would accompany her to the hospital for an abortion.

Yes, to the hospital! She wanted to get rid of that man’s child! She didn’t want any further ties with that man! She didn’t want to think of him ever again! In fact, she couldn’t even remember what his hair looked like.

"Adele, what are you doing? Why haven’t you turned on the heater and opened all the windows instead?" As soon as Julia pushed open the door to her office, she was immediately chilled to the bone by the whooshing cold air. Glades instinctively wrapped his arms around her, warming her with his body to chase away the chill.

Adele heard her sister-in-law’s soft gasp, glanced up briefly, then immersed herself even deeper in her work.

But tears gathered in her eyes.

Upon closer inspection, her eyes closely resembled Glades’s, except hers held a touch of feminine allure, unlike the depth and sharpness of Glades’s gaze.

Don’t cry! Don’t cry! Otherwise, Big Brother will find out!

She desperately told herself not to cry, that it wasn’t a big deal, that she would go to the hospital for an abortion that afternoon! But her tears were no longer under her control; they escaped her eyes and streamed down her delicate cheeks.

Julia stepped in, hurried to the windows to close them, then picked up the remote for the heater and turned it on.

"Adele Horne, are you still a child? If you want to catch a cold, take off your coat now and stand outside for an hour. Then your wish will come true!" Glades chided his sister with a frosty tone, anger swirling in his eyes.

On the way here, he had thought his sister had truly matured. Unexpectedly...

Adele’s face grew even paler. She knew she couldn’t hide her pregnancy from her brother any longer.

"Glades." Julia turned and saw the tears in Adele’s eyes. She quickly walked to Glades’s side, tugging his hand. "This isn’t your concern right now. Please go outside; I need to talk to Adele." There had to be a reason for Adele’s actions; she would find out. As she spoke, she firmly pulled Glades towards the office door, pushed him out, and then closed it. This man sometimes lost his composure when his loved ones were in trouble. Adele also had things on her mind, and Julia worried the siblings would argue.

So, sending him out was the best solution! 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Furious at being pushed out, Glades couldn’t stop himself from banging on the office door several times.

Julia ignored his banging. Even if he flew into a rage, with her present, he wouldn’t dare do anything to the door.

She was grateful that his love for her was strong enough to restrain him.

Leaning against the door, Julia gazed steadily at Adele, who was still sitting at her desk, typing on the computer. Tears had already blurred Adele’s vision, making it impossible to see the words on the screen clearly, yet her hands refused to stop.
