Chapter 26 His expression completely darkened. "Adrienne, are you done yet?" This time, she didn't say anything. Trying her best not to puke, she fished out disinfectant wipes from her bag and rubbed her wrist frantically. However, the metallic stench of blood clung stubbornly after she used a dozen wipes. Fi- nally, she couldn't hold back any longer and started to throw out. In the next second, her world was turned upside down. Garrett pulled her into his embrace and shoved her into the car. "Let me out!" Other than the first two years of their marriage, they had only met a handful of times, each ending up in an argument. In the third year, he had barely come home, so she grew quieter and quieter, not arguing with anyone. She hated herself for losing it so easily every time she had an encounter with him. Garrett closed the car door, pulled out a first-aid kit, and haphazardly wrapped his palm with gauze. With the car windows rolled down and the AC on full blast, the smell of blood faded fast. But Adrienne, pale-faced, still wanted to throw out. She passed out when Willard's wife smashed a vase at her because of the same reason-the sight of blood made her sick. So, she simply closed her eyes. Out of sight, out of mind.. After Garrett wrapped his palm, he ordered Jared, "Drive." Jared immediately hit the gas. The car instantly fell silent. As Adrienne's eyes were closed, she wasn't aware of Garrett's gaze on her face. They had only seen each other a handful of times after getting married, arguing with each other every time. He had been on business trips most of the time, both domestically and overseas. Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Greystone Estate. Adrienne recognized the ringtone right away. Upon learning that he was keeping his mistress at Greystone Estate, she had gone through his phone and memorized this unique ringtone. The person on the other end of the line said something, and his aura immediately became terrifying. "I see. I'll be right over. Go and look for her first." 0.0 % 16:44 Hearing this, she thought, "So, his mistress has gone missing again." "I've never met her. Greystone Estate is packed with bodyguards, so I've never had a chance to go anywhere near it. "Garrett hides her pretty well. At first, he received calls from Greystone Estate frequently. It seems she's got a bad temper and is pretty frail. It's funny, though-her relapse always manages to align with the time he's about to go back to Cloudhaven Mansion." After hanging up, Garrett said to Jared, "Pull over." Right after the car came to a stop, Adrienne sensibly opened the car door. Garrett said, his voice glacial, "What are you doing?" But she didn't say anything. After getting out, she slammed the door shut and walked forward. Though there weren't many cars on the road, the streetlights were bright, which was relieving. However, walking alone at night still terrified her a bit. But, compared to the chill in her heart, the fear was nothing. After a few steps, she heard a car honk. Her eyes reddened instantly. As she turned around, Theodore's car-instead of Garrett's-came into her view. She held back her tears in time and almost had the urge to slap herself for that fleeting anticipation. "Theo? How do you know I'm here?" she choked out. 62.5 % 16:44
