Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 44 Audition for Leading Role
"Dad, what did you hear about me?" Nicholas looked at Adeline and gently said, "Adeline, you're now a Lockwood. Being a Lockwood doesn't only mean that you have to be careful of your demeanor in public, but you're also being protected by our family. You need to let us know if you've been bullied or mistreated in any way. Don't keep it to yourself. Otherwise, the other people will just think that the Lockwood family is weak." "Dad, I'm back in one piece, didn't I? I know who it was behind my abduction, but I don't have any evidence to prove it, and it would be a hassle to look for it. So, why don't we just let it go this once? I don't think she's going to make trouble anytime soon, anyway." Adeline didn't want to trouble the Lockwood family only to handle such a little inconvenience. Since the media didn't report about it, she assumed that Adrian must have kept the situation on the down-low. Initially, Nicholas didn't have much thought about Adeline as his daugh
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 45 Embarrassed Adeline
"So what if they've heard me?" Chloe was unbothered. Adeline leaned closer to Chloe's ear and whispered, "Imagine if they got mad at you and chased you down the streets. They might even throw things at you." Chloe trembled just at the thought of it. She eyed the people in front of them and smiled wryly, "Well then, forget what I just said. I don't want to be torn into pieces." Adeline grinned at her at that, "Let's go. If we stay out here any longer, we aren't going to make it in." Then, they wiggled their way through the crowd and strode up to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here to hand in my resume," Adeline said. "Okay, just leave it here," the receptionist glanced at Adeline and pointed to the tray on the desk. After handing in their resumes, they waited in a lounge for their name to be called out for the audition. The lounge was filled with many other girls, all waiting for their turn to audition. Some of the girls began to touch up their
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 46 Something on My Face?
Adrian was looking out from the transparent elevator wall when he heard Lydia's words. He seemed deep in a trance, but he suddenly mumbled with a gentle look on his face, "I guess that's a good thing..." At that moment, Lydia was green with envy. She couldn't understand why Adeline—an ordinary girl—could catch his attention. Meanwhile, she couldn't even hold his hand even though she had been by Adrian's side for five years. On the other hand, Adeline and Chloe managed to make their way out of the building. Adeline was overwhelmed with the embarrassment she felt at the moment. She didn't expect Adrian to stand so close to her. Leaning against a tree, Chloe gasped for breath. "Adeline, what just happened? Why did we have to run?" Chloe had yet to figure out why they had run in the first place. Adeline rolled her eyes at Chloe, and said, "Chloe, are you still starstruck by Adrian? I could have died of embarrassment over what happened just now!" The cor
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 47 A Realistic Dream
Adeline's heavy eyelids struggled open, but the glare of the sunlight was making it difficult. Suddenly, her phone she put on the nightstand rang. Adeline reached her hand out and grabbed it. Fumbling, she placed it by her ear and answered gruffly, "Hello?" "Adeline, where are you?" Ronald's voice came from the other side of the phone. Adeline was wide awake instantly. She sat up from the bed and asked softly, "Dad, what's the matter? Why are you calling me so early?" There was a moment of silence before Ronald finally said, "Zoey's engagement party is today. You should come if you're free." "Alright, Dad. I'll be there later." "Okay, then. See you soon," the call ended quickly. Adeline stared at her phone in a blank daze and wondered if Ronald was worried that she might not show up for Zoey's engagement party. Then, all of a sudden, Adeline felt a cool breeze brushed against her back. She looked downwards at herself, and she could

Unexpectedly, Sandrino merely smiled and replied, "Adeline, I didn't think you would think of me that way." Adeline thought that he would be angered by her words, but he didn't. Instead, he found it amusing. Anyway, she had a greater concern. She had to find another way to discern if the man that appeared in her dreams every night was Sandrino. Adeline took a deep breath. Grabbing tightly onto the corners of her dress, she challenged, "Well, am I wrong?" Sandrino looked at her doll-like face, and, smiling wryly, he avoided the question, "We should go in." Adeline sighed lightly at that. She wondered if she had stepped over the line. Sandrino walked a few steps forward and then stopped abruptly. He turned to glance at Adeline and said, "I'll be leaving town for work tomorrow. I'll be gone for about a week." Adeline looked at him, confused. She didn't know what to make of the information Sandrino had just passed on. However, that would me
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 49 Engagement Party
Meanwhile, Zoey was hiding behind a bush nearby all the while, and she witnessed the exchanges between Sebastian, Adeline, and Ethan. She glared at Adeline with resentment, clenching her hand so tight that she crushed the twigs to pieces. She wanted to go and ask Sebastian why he still held Adeline in his heart, even though he was getting engaged with Zoey. She wanted to know why he just wouldn't see how much she loved him. Zoey thought that Adeline wasn't any better than him in any way! As she was deep in her thoughts, someone lightly patted her shoulder. She turned around and almost burst into tears when she saw who it was, "Mom, why does Sebastian still love Adeline? I've tried everything to get him to like me... I really hate feeling like this." Helen was heartbroken to see Zoey weeping in despair. She pulled Zoey into her arms and said, "Baby, don't cry! It doesn't matter if he still likes Adeline. You're the mother of his child! I'm sure Sebastian will eventuall
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 50 A Gift From Mom
The next morning, the Lockwoods' driver sent Adeline to Roland's company. Upon arriving, she stared at the imposing entrance and recalled the time when she and her parents would walk into the company hand in hand. Back then, she was the happiest and carefree girl on earth. As she entered the building, she walked straight towards the elevator customized only for the chairman's usage. The receptionist immediately came forward to stop her and asked with a smile, "Hello. May I know who you're looking for?" Adeline turned around, looked at the receptionist, and replied softly, "I'm looking for the chairman." "Sorry, but do you have an appointment? If you don't, you can't enter," The receptionist said. She was looking at Adeline with a hint of disdain in her eyes. "Appointment?" Adeline chuckled and continued, "Why do I need to make an appointment to come to my family's own company?" The receptionist sneered, "Miss, I've been working the front desk for almost tw
Marrying My Vegetative Husband Chapter 51 A Scheme
In the elevator, Adeline's phone rang. Adeline hesitated when she saw the unfamiliar number on the caller display. But she answered it eventually, "Hello?" "Hi, is this Miss Adeline Simpson?" A gentle voice came from the other end of the line. Adeline's brows furrowed slightly as she replied, "Yes, it is. May I ask who's calling?" "Hello, Miss Simpson. I'm Adrian Nolan's manager, Zane Koch. I have some things to discuss with you." Thinking that Adrian must have had his manager call her, she asked, "Oh, is Adrian looking for me?" There was a moment of silence before Zane answered, "He's not. But I do have some matters to discuss with you if you don't mind. Are you free to meet me somewhere?" Adeline had wanted to turn him down. However, she thought of how Adrian had helped her last time. Besides, she was curious about what Zane wanted to talk about. So, she decided to go. "Alright, sure. Where should we meet?" Adeline asked. Zane tol

"Xiaowan..." Christiano yelled at the top of the mountain. His sorrowful voice lingered around the valley for a long time... A year later... The Lockwood family in Caulford City was the wedding day of Sandrino and Gu Xiaobei's wedding. Almost all the influential people in the business world were present. The wedding was very lively. When Gu Xiaobei heard that her big belly was slowly showing up, Sandrino hurriedly went up to her and said, "Didn't I tell you to stay in your room? Why did you come out?" "Is it really boring to stay in the room? Besides, it's my wedding today. As a bride, of course, I should come out and have a look!" Looking at Gu Xiaobei, who was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins, Lu Yangzhe's face was full of helplessness and love. A year ago, the trap of the Huya Mountain was destroyed. Adeline, Bai Qian'er, and Alice were all missing. Lu Yang was seriously ill. Bai Ye and all of Kaiser's followers were a

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that no one was talking, Gu Xiaobei just looked at her stupidly. "Adele, your president is..." "It's my dad!" Before Bai Ziqi could finish her words, she was caught by Gu Xiaobei. "The reason why Brother Lu's case can be found out so quickly is also because of you?" "Not entirely. I just mentioned it to my father when I went back, but he said that it was a matter of your country. Because it didn't involve other countries, he couldn't show up. Just when I didn't know what to do, I suddenly sent an email, which was full of crimes committed by Queen Yea over the years. Because the crime committed by Queen Yea has seriously affected many countries, my father asked people to investigate it. What followed is what you saw." Gu Xiaobei's words were very relaxed. Bai Zixi sighed and said, "No wonder. I was wondering why the U.S. was so straightforward this time. It turned out that there was someone behind it." As he

Nan Xin looked at Xiaodong carefully and found that he was not uncomfortable, so he stopped asking. At this time, Adeline woke up. "What's wrong with me?" "You fainted just now. Maybe it's because of the poison barrier here. But now you have taken the herbs that specialize in treating the poison barrier. It's all right." "Sorry to have caused you so much trouble." As he struggled, Adeline saw Bai Ye and the European Emperor confronting each other with guns. "Bai Ye, you actually dared to secretly bring Su and the others here behind Queen Kaiser's back. Are you trying to steal those treasures for yourself?" Bai Ye sneered and looked at the Ou Emperor, saying, "Emperor Ou, since you found out, I'm not afraid of you knowing. What can you do to me if I want to monopolize those treasures, or are you willing to be a dog around her?" "Bai Ye, Queen Kaiser treats you well. Don't you think you're ungrateful?" Hearing this, Bai Ye laughed out loud.

Early the next morning, Adeline and the others were woken up by the sound of gunshots. "What happened?" Alice opened the zipper of the tent and walked out. They saw that their tent had already been surrounded by Bai Ye's men. Soon, they knew what was going on. However, soon after, the gunshots came to an abrupt end. Adeline didn't seem to mind at all, only tightly holding Little Dong in his arms. "It seems that some people can't wait to start." "Xiaowan, do you think Ling Yu and Tang Qi will be discovered by them?" There was a strong smell of blood in the air. Luo Luo said with some fear. Compared with Alice, he was calmer. He comforted her and said, "Don't worry. Since they know our purpose, they won't act on their own." "Luoluo, you have to trust Ling Yu." "Yes." At this time, Xie San's voice came from outside the tent. "Xiaowan, get ready. It's time to go." Xie San's voice was low and deep, very pleasant to listen to.

"Since he is leading the way, let's take him with us!" Adeline pulled the child to his side and glared at the two men with an ugly expression. "Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Simpson." "Time to go!" Looking at their backs, the man next to Bai Ye said unhappily, "Why is Old Master so partial to her?" "Whether we can find the treasure or not depends on them. Let's follow them for the time being." How could someone who had accomplished great things care about these trivial matters? "Sister, I want to go home." As soon as the little boy got rid of the men's hands, he cried loudly. Adeline knew that Bai Ye would never agree to let him go. The reason why she took him to her side was that she hoped that she could take more care of him along the way. "I'm sorry, little brother. This sister helped you temporarily, because she was caught by them just like you." "Don't worry. Staying with us is better than staying with those p

Taoping Town was an ancient town. It was surrounded by mountains and beautiful scenery. Perhaps because of the natural environment, all the people here lived a particularly happy life. Young people would go out to adventure, and some old people would stay in the estate left by the ancestors of the guardian. Perhaps it was because of the special environment here, and there were often grave robbers here. However, the appearance of so many people this time made the people of Tanping Town a little scared. Everyone would stand at the door of their own houses and look at those people. "Grandpa, what are these people doing here?" A little boy looked up at the old man standing beside him and asked in a low voice. "No matter what they are doing, it has nothing to do with us anyway. Let's go inside." "Are they here for the baby tiger?" As soon as he finished speaking, the old man covered his mouth in a hurry, and his face changed slightly. He scolded angrily,

Three days later, Adeline followed Bai Ye to Yaoping Town, but he didn't see Bai Lang. At this time, Tang Qi and the others, who had been waiting for Adeline in Tanping Town, had already received the news that Adeline had come in. "What should we do now?" After confirming the location of Adeline's residence, Tang Qi and the others gathered together to discuss how to rescue him. Suddenly, an uninvited guest came from outside the door. "Seventh Young Master, long time no see?" She walked in slowly with graceful steps and greeted Tang Qi with a faint smile. "Rumor has it that Young Master Rong isn't feeling well all year round and has been resting at home. I wonder what brought you here?" "Of course it's you." Hearing this, Tang Qi suddenly smiled. Two people came forward and hugged each other tightly, causing everyone present to be stunned. Especially Tang Qi, an inexplicable anger came from the bottom of her heart. She stepped forwar

"In the past few days, you might be able to appease the employees of the company. You don't need to keep those who want to resign too much. What our Lu Enterprises needs is people who can fight to the death with the company, not people who run away when they are in trouble." "But big brother, there have been too many things happening in the past two years. If we do this again, won't it cause public disgust?" "In the end, Lu Yangzhe was still a little worried. After all, the power of public opinion is too great. It's okay for the country to be affected, but it'll be more difficult for foreign subsidiary companies and famous brands to rise again once they are seriously injured." "You have to remember that the reputation of a company is very important, but his quality is even more important. If everyone only likes this brand instead of the quality of our product, then it doesn't matter if you don't want such a customer." He, Christiano, wanted to do the best work.

"Baby, can you understand the English on it?" Xu Lu came forward and asked, looking at the number that was quickly rolling on the screen. "Auntie, you don't know yet, do you? Zi Yao has the ability to see all kinds of things, and his English is better than mine." Jiaqi, who was standing by the side, seemed to have forgotten the unhappiness she had just had. She saw Lu Ziyan sitting in front of the computer table, looking particularly handsome. Her beautiful eyes were full of pride. It was as if she was the only one who had done it. "Do you all know each other?" Obviously, Bai Ziqi's words shocked both Bai Ziqi and Xu Ran so much that they couldn't even say a word. Was this still a three-year-old child? Why did they have a feeling that the sky was about to change? After making sure that Lu Ziming was fine, Bai Ziqi and Xu Lulu left the room, ready to inquire about Christiano's situation. "What did you say?" "One minute ago, we receiv
