One night stand with my president(chapter 225)

 Chapter 225: His Face Annoys Me

Moreover, Adeline was very likely born abroad.

Adeline thought, "But what kind of trouble happened at home?"

The one who handed Adeline over to her mother said that if she wasn't sent away, Adeline might lose her life.

Adeline thought, "Could it be that enemies were seeking revenge? If that's the case, are my biological parents still alive?"

Adeline felt a bit of a sting in her nose.

Back then, they might have done everything they could, risking their lives to get her out.

It was ironic. Adeline's mother, who genuinely loved her, passed away long ago, and her biological parents, who fought for her to have a chance at life, were likely also gone, and she didn't even know who they were.

Yet that scoundrel Mateo was still alive.

The sound of a car door opening was heard, and Harrison also got into the car.

Adeline wiped her eyes.

She didn't want Harrison to see her sad again.

She knew he would worry.

But even if she hid it well, Harrison could still tell.

He said, "I'll help you look for your biological parents."

Even if Adeline's biological parents might have already passed away, perhaps there were still other relatives.

Moreover, at least Adeline should know who her biological parents were.

Although so many years had passed, clues were scarce, and they were abroad. So, it would definitely be difficult to find them.

But for her, no matter how hard it was, he was willing to do it.

"I... I don't know if I should look for them," Adeline said softly.

She was very scared that she would receive news of her biological parents' passing.

If that were the case. she would be sad.

Harrison sighed slightly, stroked her head, and said, "It's fine. Think about it and tell me when you're ready."

"Okay."

Adeline felt very tired. She instinctively tilted her head and leaned on Harrison's shoulder.

"Thank you," she said softly.

Harrison was quite happy when she leaned on his shoulder.

But as soon as he heard her say this, he was displeased.

"Why are you thanking me?" Harrison said unhappily.

"..."

"Do you thank Russell?"

Adeline's eyelids twitched.

She hurriedly said, "Of course I did. I often thank him. We've always been very polite with each other."

Hearing her say this, Harrison felt a little better.

"From now on, you mustn't say 'thank you' to me."

"That would be rude," Adeline muttered softly.

"Hmm?"

"Okay, I understand."

Being interrupted by Harrison made Adeline's mood improve a little.

"Do you want to go eat?" Harrison asked.

They had come straight here after leaving the company and hadn't had dinner yet.

"Sure," Adeline said. "I feel a bit hungry. 

What should we eat?"

"I heard there's a new restaurant that's supposed to be good," Harrison said. "Shall we try it?"

"Sounds good.”

Harrison had the driver start the car and head to the newly opened restaurant.

Hawever, he didn't expect that just as they got out of the car, they would see Russell getting out of another car.

When rivals met, they were especially hostile, especially since they had just fought today.

As soon as he saw Russell, Harrison's face fell.

Had he known Russell would be here today, he wouldn't have come.

Russell's expression was also not very pleasant.

When he saw Adeline, his expression softened a bit.

"Ms. Hensley." Russell nodded at Adeline. 

"What a coincidence. You're here to eat too?"

He directly ignored Harrison.

Harrison didn't bother with him either.

Adeline smiled politely at Russell and was about to say something when Harrison said, "Weren't you just saying you were hungry? Let's hurry inside."

After saying that, he directly pulled Adeline's

walked toward the restaurant, Adeline helplessly said, "At least say hello to him."

"I don't want to greet him," Harrison said, "Just seeing his face annoys me."

"You are really.."

Just then, Adeline suddenly saw a very beautiful lady coming out of the restaurant.

This lady seemed a bit familiar, Soon, Adeline remembered that it was Jasmine, Russell's stepmother.

She could also be considered his aunt.

Adeline thought, "So it turns out that today is their family gathering."

Adeline remembered what Russell had said to her in front of his mother's grave and felt a bit of sympathy for him.

She couldn't help but turn back to take a look and indeed saw Jasmine walking towards Russell.

Russell's expression was not very pleasant.

But this was their family matter, and Adeline felt she had no right to comment or do anything, so she turned back and continued walking in with Harrison.

Jasmine walked up to Russell and smiled,

"Russell, I guessed you would be arriving soon, so I came out to meet you. Come on in. The dishes are all ready."

Russell's expression was indifferent. He didn't say a word but just walked inside.

Jasmine didn't mind, following him back into the restaurant.

They came to the door of a private room on the second floor.

The door of the opposite private room was open, and Russell saw Harrison and Adeline sitting inside.

They seemed to be ordering dishes, with two waiters standing beside them.

Harrison was holding the menu and saying something to Adeline.

Russell forced himself not to look at them and turned to walk into the private room reserved by the Hunter family.

Inside sat Russell's father, Rogelio Hunter, and several relatives.

As soon as he walked in, the relatives greeted him one after another.

"Russell is here."

"Take a seat."

As soon as Russell sat down, Rogelio asked him, "Where's your mother? Wasn't she supposed to come pick you up?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jasmine walked in and said with a smile, "I'm here."

Rogelio visibly sighed in relief.

Russell watched this scene and suddenly found it very dazzling.

Back then, Rogelio didn't care for his mother like this.

So, he suddenly said, "My mother? Didn't she pass away many years ago? Dad, have you forgotten even this?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the private room fell into an awkward silence.

Rogelio's expression was not good, and Jasmine also showed a hint of embarrassment.

"Why are you saying this?" Rogelio frowned and said, "Today is a family gathering."

"What, now in the Hunter family, can't we mention my mom?" Russell asked coldly.

Russell rarely showed a cold face in front of relatives.

Now, apart from Rogelio and Jasmine, the others didn't even dare to breathe.

Even though Russell usually had a good temper, everyone knew that his mother was his sore spot.

Rogelio seemed to want to say something, but Jasmine quickly stopped him.

"Russell, what are you talking about? How could we not mention your mother? We all

Miss her very much  try much.”
