All Chapters of Marrying My Vegetative Husband: Chapter 51 - Chapter 60

Without notice, Chloe scooted to Adeline and sat down next to her. Curious, she asked, "What were you talking about just now? Something about an elephant?" Adeline stared at the pot of boiling soup placed in front of them. Her stomach growled as she watched the chili flakes float atop the surface, sniffing in the fragrant aroma of the spicy chili oil. "Zane Koch—Adrian's manager—called me earlier. He wanted to talk about what happened with me and Adrian yesterday," Adeline explained as he put some mutton into the boiling pot. Chloe's eyes widened when she heard Adeline, "He didn't have your name put on a blacklist, did he?" Adeline put down the utensil in her hands. She thought about the question and carefully articulated her answer, "I don't think so. He offered me a role as an extra and asked me to go to his company tomorrow." "I don't think it's that simple, Adeline. Most artist's managers hate it when the artists they manage were to get involved in any

"Miss, I'm so sorry. But I'm begging you... Please let us leave together. We're truly in love—" "Slap—" Lydia was supposed to say some lines after that. But she only stared at Adeline for a long time before turning to Malcom and said, "Mr. White, I'm sorry. I was too nervous, and I forgot all my lines..." Adeline touched her cheek. Lydia had hit her a little harder than she expected, and a pinkish palm print showed up on her fair face almost instantly. Lydia looked at Adeline apologetically and said, "I'm sorry. I might've been a little too heavy-handed... Mr. White told me to make it look real, so I really have no choice. I'll try to be as gentle as I can later." Looking at Lydia's guiltless expression, Adeline smiled, "It's fine, I understand. Scenes like this are inevitable, anyway." Chloe hastily ran up to Adeline with an ice pack in her hand. Then, she put it on Adeline's cheek and asked worriedly, "Does it hurt a lot? Goodness, that looked like

The masked man had already walked a distance away from them when Adeline came to her senses. She turned and looked at Culver questioningly. Culver shrugged and looked at Adeline, "Well, since he's fine with it, come and join us!" "Right, okay then. I'll be with you both in a moment. Let me make a call to my friend first." "Alright. I'll wait for you by the elevator." Adeline's heart was pounding hard in her chest. Somehow, her guts told her that it wasn't a wise choice to have a meal with them. However, the masked man didn't even give her a chance to refuse them. With that, Adeline reluctantly called Chloe to let her know that they were going to dine in a different restaurant. Chloe replied and said that she would join them momentarily as she had just met an old friend. She also said that she would cancel their order with the steakhouse. Ending the call, Adeline remained standing at the same spot and looked towards where the elevator was. Culver and

Adeline was shocked to hear Chloe broke her words so soon. Her face darkened as she glared at Chloe, "Fine. Then we won't be friends anymore." Chloe huffed out a breath at that. Then, she said in feigned sadness, "But you said they're aloof and distant. If even you can't handle their coldness, do you think I can be of any use? I'd be like a deer in headlights! Don't tell me that you're so stony-hearted that you're willing to see me suffer?"  Adeline pouted, "You're right... I wouldn't be able to do so. But come on, are you going to just let me suffer? You know, at some point today, I actually thought I was going to turn into a statue!" "Relax, Adeline. If you really turned into a statue tomorrow, rest assured that I'll be by your side no matter what..." Chloe said while giving Adeline a comforting look. Adeline then pursed her lips in reply, "What do you think you can do after I turned into a statue, then?" Chloe smiled sheepishly at Adeline.

Adeline took the elevator back down to the bar. She walked towards the counter and asked, "Hi, do you have anything that can help sober someone up?" "Sorry, miss. This is a bar. We don't do that here. Maybe you can take a look at the shops outside to see if they have what you want," the bartender laughed and replied. Adeline gave the bartender a faint smile, and then turned to leave. It was ten at night, a time where the city only started to buzz with life as youngsters filled the streets.  As Adeline walked along the streets alone, she spotted many couples. They were all leaning close to each other, whispering sweet nothings amongst themselves. Their attention was entirely on their partners, not a care in the world about their surroundings.  "Boss, isn't that Miss Simpson?" asked Seth as he pointed at Adeline's back. Adrian was already upset because Adeline wasn't answering his calls or text messages. Thinking that Seth must be messing with him, he
