Chapter 260

Feliz Gastro House.

Dr. Brice held a bouquet of fiery red roses in his hand, a color that complemented Adeline’s distinctive aura, making her particularly eye-catching and beautiful.

Even though this wasn’t a traditional date, Dr. Brice still felt some nerves. The cause of his anxiety was, “I’ve heard stories about Adeline. If Elliot didn’t show up today…”

“He should be here! After all, Dylan casually mentioned it to Elliot.”

As the two of them were engaged in a lively conversation, Adeline appeared at the entrance, garbed in a snow-white dress that accentuated her slender waist. She wore a pair of red strappy heels that matched her earrings, and over her dress was an orange coat. In her hand, she held a white handbag.

Her hair cascaded down to her waist, a flowing wave of lazy curls, deep chestnut in color, contrasting beautifully with her skin, making it seem even more delicate. When she appeared at the entrance, it was as though she was bathed in a halo of light, immediately drawing the attention of most people in the restaurant.

She wore a pair of sunglasses, hiding most of her delicate face. Upon spotting Julie, she immediately headed over with a smile.

Adeline walked up to Julie, removed her.

er sunglasses, and winked at Julie, “Juliebelle, where is Mr. Hernandez?”

Julie pointed at Kieran, who was taking a call by the window.

Adeline turned her gaze to Dr. Brice, casually accepting the roses from his hand, and threw Dr. Brice a kiss, “Dr. Brice?”

Dr. Brice nodded, extending his hand politely, “Ms. Sanches, it’s a pleasure to meet you.”

Adeline gave a small smile, “Same to me.””

After that, Adeline turned to Julie and said, “Juliebelle, you can leave now. I will take good care of Dr. Brice.”

Julie gave Dr. Brice a look, and Dr. Brice returned it with a smile, watching Julie leave. Adeline looked towards the window, where Kieran and Julie were standing together.

Adeline sat opposite Elliot and asked him boldly, “Dr. Brice, have you ever been in love?”.

It was an unexpected question, but it wouldn’t be Adeline if she didn’t surprise him.

In high society, everyone knew of Adeline’s reputation- beautiful but lazy, a parasite without a job or impressive education, expelled from university. No one would want such a woman as a wife, and she would only serve as decoration. Beautiful women always draw attention. For the cultured Brice family, Nance naturally preferred Yulia Gary, the daughter of
