\n**Chapter 143: What Are You Guys Doing?**<\/p>\n
The tension in the air was palpable as Danielle\u2019s voice cut through the silence, laced with a simmering anger that was hard to ignore. \u201cYou still haven\u2019t gotten rid of that baby? Useless.\u201d Her words dripped with disdain, each syllable a reminder of the stakes that hung in the balance.<\/p>\n
Nicole, her voice tinged with anxiety, responded, \u201cCurtis stays with Adriana almost every minute. There\u2019s no way for us to make a move.\u201d The worry in her tone revealed the weight of their predicament, the urgency of their situation pressing down on her like a heavy fog.<\/p>\n
Danielle, however, remained unfazed, her confidence unwavering. \u201cIt\u2019s fine\u2026 Mr. Harold is suspicious by nature. Adriana was with Matthew for four years, so I know exactly what to do with her.\u201d Her laughter echoed in the room, a sound that seemed to mock the very idea of failure.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill Mr. Harold believe it?\u201d Nicole asked, her brow furrowing with concern. She was not convinced, and the doubt in her eyes was unmistakable.<\/p>\n
\u201cOf course. After what happened to Curtis back then, he\u2019s always been wary of women. Mr. Harold only let him marry before you came back because he was afraid Curtis would refuse women for good, and the Lincolns would have no heir. Someone who\u2019s always kept women at arm\u2019s length suddenly gets a woman pregnant\u2014it\u2019s already suspicious. If Matthew steps forward, Mr. Lincoln will definitely believe the baby is his.\u201d Danielle\u2019s confidence was infectious, and it fueled Nicole\u2019s resolve.<\/p>\n
Danielle felt a rush of certainty. She knew Harold would undoubtedly grow suspicious given Curtis\u2019s history. The man was turning 30 soon, and for the majority of his life, he had maintained a fortress around his heart, allowing no woman to breach his defenses. Aside from Cynthia, no one had ever come close.<\/p>\n
Yet, over the past few years, things had shifted slightly. During his teenage years, Curtis had been practically paralyzed by his fear of women, unable to even engage in simple conversation.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll play along,\u201d Nicole said, a sly smile creeping onto her lips, her confidence blossoming.<\/p>\n
They had a plan. If they could eliminate Adriana\u2019s baby before it even had a chance to take its first breath, the truth would remain buried forever. No matter how much Adriana protested, there would be no evidence to substantiate her claims.<\/p>\n
The morning sun streamed through the windows as Adriana stretched in bed, her body still heavy with sleep. She blinked away the remnants of dreams, only to notice that Curtis was already gone, though the warmth of his presence lingered on his side of the bed.<\/p>\n
\u201cCurtis?\u201d she called out, her voice echoing in the stillness of the house. She quickly got out of bed, her heart racing as she dashed from the room, a sense of urgency propelling her forward.<\/p>\n
Silence greeted her, and disappointment washed over her like a cold wave. After washing up, she made her way downstairs, hoping to prepare a simple breakfast to ease the ache of his absence. To her surprise, she found Curtis leaning casually against the kitchen doorway, a radiant smile lighting up his face.<\/p>\n
Her heart skipped a beat. Adriana felt an overwhelming urge to throw herself into his arms, the instinct to connect with him almost primal.<\/p>\n
\u201cWould steak and egg sandwiches be okay for breakfast?\u201d Curtis asked, pulling her into a warm embrace, his voice soft and inviting. He was dressed in comfortable loungewear, his hair tousled just enough to enhance his boyish charm, and he looked as handsome as ever.<\/p>\n
He had a way of illuminating the entire room, as if his very presence chased away shadows.<\/p>\n
He really is gorgeous, she thought, a blush creeping across her cheeks.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s not my fault for falling for his looks\u2026 This man is honestly way too attractive.<\/p>\n
Adriana couldn\u2019t help but feel drawn to him, the magnetic pull of his charm almost overwhelming. She wanted to lean in and kiss him, to lose herself in that moment.<\/p>\n
Just then, Eva returned, her voice tinged with awkwardness. \u201cMr. Curtis, Mr. Harold is here\u2026\u201d she announced, ushering in Harold, Cynthia, and Belinda behind her. The unexpected intrusion sent a jolt of anxiety through Adriana.<\/p>\n
Harold had insisted on this surprise visit, driven by an insatiable curiosity to see if Adriana and Curtis were truly sharing the same space, the same bed.<\/p>\n
As they entered, the scene before them was one of intimacy\u2014Adriana clinging to Curtis\u2019s waist, their bodies poised for a kiss.<\/p>\n
Harold\u2019s expression darkened as he took in the sight, disbelief etched across his features. \u201cWhat are you guys doing, acting like this in broad daylight?\u201d His voice was a mixture of shock and disapproval.<\/p>\n
Curtis\u2019s frown deepened at the intrusion, and he tightened his embrace around Adriana, unwilling to let her go.<\/p>\n
Adriana felt the heat of embarrassment wash over her. Why did so many people have to show up unannounced? She buried her face against Curtis\u2019s neck, her cheeks aflame.<\/p>\n
\u201cGrandpa, isn\u2019t it a little rude to show up unannounced?\u201d Curtis said, his voice low yet firm, a protective undertone woven through his words.<\/p>\n
Cynthia stood frozen, her mind racing as she processed the scene before her. She had known Curtis for what felt like a lifetime. After all he had endured, she had always been there\u2014his steadfast supporter, the one who believed she was meant for him. She had envisioned a future where, if Curtis could never touch a woman, she would bear his child through IVF.<\/p>\n
But now, the very man who had always kept women at a distance was allowing Adriana to cling to him, openly displaying affection she had always longed to share with him.<\/p>\n
Tears welled in Cynthia\u2019s eyes, but she fought to maintain her composure. She took a deep breath, clenching her fists to suppress the turmoil within.<\/p>\n
She couldn\u2019t allow herself to break down. She had sacrificed so much for Curtis. She was the one who loved him the most, and in her heart, she believed that no one else deserved him but her.<\/p>\n
