In Chapter 131 of \u201cWhen Time Tried to Heal Me But I Refused to Listen,\u201d titled \u201cAdriana\u2019s Plan,\u201d Adriana showcases her determination to navigate her relationship with Curtis while maintaining her independence. Despite Margaret\u2019s concerns about Curtis\u2019s sincerity as a wealthy man, Adriana reassures her friend that she has a plan to stand on her own before relying on him. She reflects on her lack of resources but feels confident in her ability to seize opportunities for her own advancement. Adriana\u2019s nurturing side is evident as she takes Margaret shopping for gifts for children at the orphanage, all while keeping her mind occupied amid her growing anxiety about Curtis\u2019s silence regarding her pregnancy.<\/p>\n
As the chapter progresses, Adriana\u2019s anxiety intensifies due to Curtis\u2019s absence, making her hesitant to share her pregnancy news with him. She fears that if something goes wrong during her upcoming checkup, it would disappoint him. This internal conflict is palpable as she grapples with the weight of her emotions and the implications of her news. When Margaret departs, Adriana\u2019s concern for her friend\u2019s well-being is evident, highlighting her caring nature even in her own turmoil.<\/p>\n
The tension escalates dramatically when a man attempts to harm Adriana in a crowded airport terminal, but Curtis arrives just in time to protect her. This moment of danger reveals the depth of Curtis\u2019s commitment to Adriana, as he risks himself to shield her from harm. The relief and gratitude she feels upon seeing him are profound, and their reunion is marked by a blend of fear, worry, and a comforting embrace that signifies their bond.<\/p>\n
As they return home, Curtis\u2019s exhaustion becomes apparent, yet he expresses hope for good news from Adriana. She hesitantly shares the possibility of her pregnancy, and their playful banter about affectionate titles leads to an awkward yet humorous moment in the car. This light-hearted exchange serves as a counterbalance to the earlier tension, reflecting their growing intimacy. However, the chapter closes with Curtis expressing concern for Adriana\u2019s feelings, indicating his desire to ensure her emotional well-being, which adds another layer to their complex relationship.<\/p>\n

Adriana nodded, a determined gleam in her eyes.<\/p>\n

Margaret\u2019s brow furrowed with concern as she spoke, \u201cIf Curtis truly cares about you, that\u2019s wonderful\u2026 but how long can the sincerity of a wealthy man genuinely last?\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana met Margaret\u2019s gaze with unwavering confidence. \u201cMargaret, you really don\u2019t have to worry about me. I\u2019ve crafted a plan to ensure I can stand on my own before his sincerity fades,\u201d she asserted, her voice steady.<\/p>\n
Deep down, she was acutely aware of her current lack of resources, but she was unbothered by the prospect of biding her time, waiting for the perfect opportunity to present itself. There was no shame in utilizing a man as a means to an end; after all, she had come from a background that offered her little support. She truly needed someone to help her rise above her circumstances.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe in you,\u201d Margaret replied softly, offering a gentle pat on her hand. \u201cYou\u2019ve always possessed a strong will, even if your exterior seems delicate.\u201d<\/p>\n
Margaret spent a couple of days in Haldoria, and during that time, Adriana took her on shopping excursions, picking up thoughtful gifts for the children at the orphanage. She made sure to arrange Margaret\u2019s flight back home, all while keeping her mind occupied.<\/p>\n
Yet, amidst the bustling activities, a nagging thought lingered in Adriana\u2019s mind: Curtis had not reached out to her at all. She resisted the urge to call him, not wanting to come across as needy or intrusive. However, as the silence stretched on, anxiety began to gnaw at her.<\/p>\n
She longed to share the news of her pregnancy with Curtis, but a shadow of doubt loomed over her. What if something went awry during the checkup next week? The thought of disappointing him was unbearable. So, she chose to remain silent for the time being.<\/p>\n
\u201cMargaret, please make sure to call me once you\u2019re back at the orphanage,\u201d Adriana said, her voice laced with genuine concern as she bid her friend farewell at the airport.<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t fret about me. You should head home now,\u201d Margaret urged, her tone maternal. \u201cYou\u2019re expecting\u2014you need to take it easy, especially in these early stages.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana nodded, watching as Margaret passed through security before turning to leave.<\/p>\n
In the throng of travelers, a man lurked, his eyes fixed on Adriana as she navigated the busy terminal. When she stepped into a more crowded area, he surged forward, colliding with her purposefully.<\/p>\n

Chapter 131: Adriana\u2019s Plan<\/p>\n
His intention was clear: to strike her with enough force to induce a miscarriage. After all, early pregnancies were notoriously fragile and could easily end in tragedy.<\/p>\n

\u201cWatch out!\u201d Just as the man lunged, Curtis appeared out of nowhere, wrapping his arms around Adriana and pulling her close, shielding her from harm. The assailant stumbled, crashing to the ground instead.<\/p>\n
Fear flickered in the man\u2019s eyes as he glanced up at Curtis, who towered over him. He attempted to flee, but Kenneth, ever vigilant, seized him and slammed him down. \u201cSeriously? You think you can just attack someone and run away?\u201d Kenneth growled, his voice dripping with disbelief.<\/p>\n
Adriana stood frozen, her mind racing to comprehend the chaotic scene that had just unfolded. She looked up at Curtis, her voice barely a whisper, \u201cCurtis? You\u2026 you\u2019re back?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis tightened his embrace around her, exhaling a heavy sigh of relief.<\/p>\n
He appeared worn and weary, with bloodshot eyes and stubble beginning to shadow his chin. It was evident that he had been working tirelessly over the past few days.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Lincoln has been absolutely out of his mind,\u201d Kenneth remarked, a chuckle escaping his lips as he gestured for security to escort the man away. \u201cHe crammed an entire week\u2019s worth of work into three days. It nearly drove everyone to the brink.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s surprise deepened as she regarded Curtis. \u201cWhy do you look so exhausted\u2026?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI haven\u2019t slept in two nights, Babe\u2026\u201d Curtis confessed, his voice heavy with fatigue as he held her close.<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s heart raced as she returned his embrace, gently patting his back in a soothing gesture. \u201cLet\u2019s go home.\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment Curtis heard her mention \u201chome,\u201d he paused, as if her words had caught him off guard. A small smile broke through his weariness. \u201cOkay\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n
As they made their way back, Curtis finally reached his limit. He leaned his head against Adriana\u2019s shoulder, intertwining his fingers with hers, and closed his eyes, surrendering to exhaustion.<\/p>\n
\u201cBabe\u2026 do you have any good news to share with me?\u201d Curtis inquired, his voice laced with hope. He had been waiting for her to confide in him, but she seemed hesitant to speak.<\/p>\n
Adriana felt her cheeks flush at the endearment. Being called \u201cbabe\u201d felt intensely personal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWell,\u201d she began softly, \u201cthe test indicates that I\u2019m pregnant, but it\u2019s not entirely confirmed yet. Curtis, would you accompany me for the follow-up appointment in a few days?\u201d<\/p>\n

Chapter 131: Adriana\u2019s Plan<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s face lit up with a grin as he sat up straighter. \u201cAnd what should you call me now?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201c+10 Free Coins\u201d<\/p>\n
He was gently nudging her, as if to say that if he could call her \u201cbabe,\u201d then surely she could call him something equally affectionate, like \u201chubby.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana\u2019s mind momentarily blanked, recalling Bonnie\u2019s words about wealthy men and their peculiar preferences, such as wanting to be called \u201cdaddy.\u201d<\/p>\n
She glanced at Curtis, feeling a rush of awkwardness. \u201cDo I\u2026 really have to call you that? Can I wait until we\u2019re home?\u201d<\/p>\n
Curtis feigned disappointment, raising an eyebrow. \u201cKenneth isn\u2019t a stranger.\u201d<\/p>\n
Adriana lowered her gaze, her heart racing as she hesitated before finally uttering, \u201cBoss\u2026 daddy?\u201d<\/p>\n
An abrupt silence enveloped the car.<\/p>\n
Kenneth slammed on the brakes, nearly jolting out of his seat. Perhaps being a \u201cstranger\u201d wasn\u2019t such a bad idea after all.<\/p>\n
Curtis was momentarily speechless, taking a deep breath as he processed what she had just said.<\/p>\n
What did she just call me?<\/p>\n
Seeing the shock etched on Curtis\u2019s face, Adriana felt a wave of nervousness wash over her.<\/p>\n
Am I not sincere enough?<\/p>\n
\u201cDad\u2026\u201d Just as Adriana was about to say it again, Curtis quickly covered her mouth with his hand.<\/p>\n
He exhaled slowly, a mix of amusement and disbelief swirling within him.<\/p>\n
Is this girl teasing me? Suggesting I\u2019m old?<\/p>\n
I\u2019m only six years older than her\u2014twenty-nine to her twenty-three. That\u2019s not so bad.<\/p>\n
Kenneth drove in silence, awkwardly clearing his throat, fully aware of the tension in the air. He maintained his focus on the road, afraid to break the quiet.<\/p>\n
Once they finally arrived home, Kenneth sped away as if escaping a scene from a comedy.<\/p>\n
Curtis grasped Adriana\u2019s wrist and led her into the living room, pondering Matthew\u2019s earlier words about her pride. Was it possible that his generosity had inadvertently bruised her sense of self-worth?<\/p>\n
\u201cIf there\u2019s anything that\u2019s upset you, please just tell me,\u201d Curtis said softly, his eyes searching her face for any hint of distress.<\/p>\n
