Chapter 16 Hearing this , Adelaide abruptly looked up at him . She finally noticed that he was in a bad mood . " Since we're not meeting the client now , should I get out of the car ? " Adelaide asked . Reginald leaned his arm on the car window , rested his face on his hand , and said casually , " Ms. Pierce , do you remember the extra terms of the agreement ? " Adelaide kept her cool and said , " Yeah , I remember . But Mr. Thorton , you just said we'll meet the client another day ! ' " We'll meet the client another day , but I didn't say there aren't other plans for you ." Adelaide was kind of speechless . " Then what else do you want , Mr. Thorton ? " " Sit properly . " Adelaide didn't understand what he was going to do but could only obey . She sat properly by the car door . At that moment , her phone rang . She took it out . It was Garrett calling . Chapter 16 Reginald said in a deep voice , " No phone calls in my car . Not for anyone ." " Adelaide was silent . She simply muted her phone and put it back in her pocket . Even if he hadn't said it , she wouldn't have answered . Seeing she didn't answer right away , either by choice or because of his words , Reginald was in a better mood . The phone , on silent , kept buzzing in Adelaide's pocket till they reached Rosecliff Manor . Rosecliff Manor … Just the name made Adelaide's heart clench . She kept her cool , got out of the car , closed the door , and said , " Mr. Thorton , if you need to rest , I'll head back . " " Are you going to show up at Orvenix Group tomorrow with a swollen face ? " Reginald teased . " I'll ice it when I get back and put on makeup tomorrow ," Adelaide said . Reginald insisted , " Do you need me to come over and hold your hand , or are you going to walk in yourself ? " Adelaide was kind of speechless . Again , under Reginald's Chapter 16 dominance , she chose to go inside on her own . After all , she knew Reginald could do whatever he wanted . Once inside , the butler , Draven Rowe , brought over the ice pack he had prepared earlier . Reginald tilted his chin . " Give it to her ." Adelaide took the ice pack . " Thanks ." Draven smiled , " Don't mention it . " With that , he took the servants and left , giving them some space . Adelaide held the ice pack and applied it silently , trying to figure out how to get out of there . " When are you getting a divorce ? " Reginald suddenly asked . Adelaide paused at the words . His eyes narrowed a bit , and a cold smile crept onto his face . " You haven't figured out the divorce , Adelaide ? If so , why are you hitting on me ? " " There's a cooling - off period for divorce ." Adelaide continued icing her face . " And Mr. Thorton , you got one thing wrong . We had an agreement . If I lost , I'd willingly join your design team . I lost the bet , and I'll keep my promise . I didn't hit on you on purpose !" " Fair enough . " Reginald nodded casually , his tone dragging out again . " But you know I like you . " Chapter To Adelaide's eyes flickered , her mind a bit flustered . " Fine , take your time . I don't mind being the other man , " said Reginald . Adelaide was stunned by his outrageous words . " Reginald , do you even know what you're saying ? " Hearing her call his name in a panic , Reginald smirked , clearly amused . " Scared ? Let's just do it fast . It's just a divorce. It won't kill you . " Adelaide almost rolled her eyes . " Thanks a lot Reginald chuckled , his shoulders shaking a bit . " You're welcome . I just want you to get out of this miserable situation soon ." '
