Chapter 27. Asking Me out

ADELINE’S POV

“Adrian just messaged me. I’ve blocked him like three times but he keeps getting back to me with different numbers. How many numbers can one person have?” I say pacing back and forth in my room like a mad person. As if what I did yesterday wasn’t embarrassing enough, it seems Adrian Wellington doesn’t know how to take no for an answer.

I have a guess that he only wants me more now so he can prove something to himself. This is just another business deal to him and apparently, he’s a competitive man. He can’t accept that he lost to Dante, and that’s the only reason he won’t let this go. Rejecting him yesterday had a play on his ego, and now he’ll stop at nothing.

What’s bothering me even more is the fact that my parents haven’t gotten back to me yet, and in the world I live in, silence from my parents after a scandal like that cannot mean a good thing. I’m just waiting for a bomb to drop for a drastic decision that they’ll unfailingly take.
