Chapter 250: A Fight
Adam felt like a schoolboy waiting for a back pat from his favourite teacher. He had imagined telling her the truth so many times- revealing who he really was, what he had been building behind the scenes. Part of him had wanted to share it with her, badly. But something had always stopped him. Maybe it was fear. Maybe it was pride. Maybe he wasn’t ready to see how she would react.
And now that she knew... now that the truth was out, he felt oddly worried..
But at least now, they could finally stand on equal ground. He didn’t need to pretend anymore-that he was indifferent, incapable, or disinterested. She knew now. Everything. The useless heir she had married wasn’t useless at all. He had not married her for the inheritance.
Still, his gaze followed her as she walked out of ABC Industries, surrounded by the same old coots who knew nothing better than to create trouble for themselves and for her.
But something about her walking out with them unsettled him. Her reaction to him being the chairman had been composed, careful, unreadable. No anger. No approval. Just that business-like look she wore when she didn’t want anyone to guess what she was thinking.
He sighed, shook his head at his own uncharacteristic feelings, and sighed again.
Well... he’d catch his wife at home.
Or so he’d thought.
Adam stared at his watch for the nth time wondering if he’dbeen abandoned by his dear wife.
