Chapter 709 Adela by the Lake
"Oh! Is your cheap wife so proactive?"
Gervis was stunned instantly!
I didn’t expect that my cheap wife would be so proactive!
But Gervis was a good young man after all, so he would not neglect it and immediately began to respond more enthusiastically.
When Gervis and Alice arrived on the dance floor, they were the most eye-catching people in the scene, both in terms of appearance and status.
This action naturally attracted the attention of the guests dancing nearby!
"Wow!"
When everyone saw what Gervis and Alice did, they immediately exclaimed in surprise as they watched it all happen!
Although the nobles are usually quite open-minded, this was at a dinner party.
And it was the Elf Queen and the God of Killing. Everyone was surprised as never before.
Hearing the exclamation, Alice, who had already fallen into despair, finally came to her senses and pushed Gervis' head away with a red face.
After their heads were separated, Gervis smacked his lips, still feeling unsatisfied. The fragrant and sweet taste was really special.
He immediately glanced around fiercely, trying to see which bastard had disturbed his fun!
However, Gervis naturally couldn't find the bastard because the people nearby were watching them and he had no idea who to vent his anger on.
Gervis could only look away in disappointment and continue dancing with Alice to the music.
Of course, because Alice had regained her sanity, and there were many people around who were looking at her in secret, the previous atmosphere between the two of them was no longer there.
After the song ended, the two walked down to the dance floor.
"Hey, where's Adela?"
When the two returned to their original seats, they suddenly discovered that Adela was not sitting there. Alice immediately let out a light exclamation.
This was a very abnormal thing. These past two days, Adela wanted to hang on to Gervis. Even when Alice, the legal wife, came, Adela still ran to them all day because she couldn't bear to leave Gervis.
It is definitely not normal for him to leave a dinner party without saying goodbye.
“Could it be…”
Alice immediately thought of a possibility!
At the same time, Gervis also looked at her, and their eyes met. Gervis smiled awkwardly.
But Alice glared at Gervis fiercely.
"It seems like you took the initiative, didn't you?"
When Gervis saw Alice's beautiful eyes widened, he immediately muttered something in his heart.
But of course he didn't dare say it out loud, after all, it was all his fault.
"Go find Adela now! She's a simple girl and must be very sad now!"
Alice knew Adela's feelings for Gervis, so she could naturally guess why Adela left.
It is very likely that the previous intimate behavior between the two made Adela, a simple girl, sad.
Although they are husband and wife, doing such things is completely normal.
But Alice really likes Adela's innocence, and is also grateful for her care for Gervis before she came to the City of Hope.
Now that Gervis was about to leave the City of Hope, she didn't mind being generous and letting Adela leave a nice response.
This was the reason why she did not stop Adela from coming to the manor every day these days. Instead, she was very enthusiastic towards Adela.
"Then I'll go find Adela first!"
Gervis naturally did not dare to neglect it. He immediately looked around the hall again, but still did not see Adela. Then he prepared to walk out of the banquet hall.
"Grevith!"
"Um?"
Just as Gervis turned around and was about to leave, Alice suddenly called him.
Gervais stopped and turned his head.
"Comfort Adela!"
Alice said calmly.
"Um!"
Gervis nodded and immediately walked quickly out of the banquet hall.
"You just like to flirt with other girls! You haven't even dealt with Caroline at home yet!"
After Gervis left, a hint of loss and anger flashed across Alice's originally calm eyes.
No one likes to have their lover shared with others.
Especially a stunning beauty like Alice.
…
Gervis didn't know that his cheap wife had become jealous after he left. He hurried to the outside of the banquet hall and found that Adela was nowhere to be seen in the corridor.
Immediately, Gervis looked at a maid at the door of the banquet hall.
"Have you seen your lady?"
"Lord Gervis, Miss Adela seems to have gone to the front door!"
The maid actually knew Gervis, after all, Gervis had lived in this manor for many days. She immediately pointed to the door in front of the corridor and answered Gervis respectfully.
When Gervis heard this, he nodded to the maid and walked straight towards the door of the small building.
After walking out of the door of the small building, Gervis still did not see Adela, but he now thought of where Adela would go.
There is a small lake on the left side of the building. When I was recuperating from my injuries a few days ago, Adela would often help me take a walk by the lake.
So Gervis immediately rushed towards the lake.
When Gervis came to a place not far from the lake, he saw a pretty figure squatting by the lake, her curled up body still moving slightly.
…
When Adela saw Gervis and Alice walking into the dance floor to dance, she felt an indescribable sense of loss in her heart and her nose was sore.
But Alice was Gervis' wife after all, so she could only pretend not to care.
But when she saw Gervis and Alice kissing passionately later, Adela could no longer control her emotions.
She quickly left the banquet hall because she was worried that if she stayed in the hall, she would feel so wronged that she would burst into tears.
When Alice did not come to the City of Hope, Adela felt the real existence of Gervis because he could appear openly.
Especially when she saw Gervis lying quietly in front of her, Adela felt extremely happy and satisfied.
At that moment, she thought she had finally "caught" Gervis, and that she could continue to be so sweet and be with Gervis all the time.
But when Adela suddenly learned in the arena that Gervis actually had a wife, she became at a loss. Gervis seemed to become illusory again and was about to leave her.
Fortunately, Alice was also a very easy-going person and did not reject her. As a result, Adela's emotions calmed down a little and she suppressed all the grievances and losses in her heart.
I want to take advantage of this time to do everything I can to meet with Gervis more often. Even if happiness will leave me in the end, I will not have any regrets.
With this mentality, although Adela has been worried about gains and losses these days, her mood is relatively stable.
But seeing the sweet scene between Gervis and Alice just a moment ago, Adela finally couldn't hold back.
He once fantasized that one day he would be able to wear the most beautiful dress and dance sweetly with Gervis under the attention of everyone and with everyone's blessings.
But the reality is often cruel. Before her wish was fulfilled, Gervis had already danced like this with others.
Adela stared at the reflection of the bright moon in the water with her misty eyes without blinking. The more she thought about it, the more aggrieved she felt. So she buried her head in her knees and began to sob silently.
"Maybe Gervase hasn't noticed I left the hall yet!"
"Grevith, you are such a bad guy!"
"Grevith, why do you have a wife!"
"Why don't you dance with me!"
"Bad guy! Bad guy! Bad guy!"
Adela sobbed and complained in a low voice.
"Who is the bad guy scolding?"
"The bad guy is scolding you!"
Just as Adela was cursing under her breath, a question suddenly came from behind her.
Adela answered without thinking.
But after she answered, she immediately realized that how could she not recognize Gervis' voice?
"Ah! Gervis, why are you here?"
"I...I...didn't scold you!"
Adela, with her back to Gervis, immediately wiped her face with her hands in a hurry, not wanting Gervis to see her tears.
While wiping her, he also explained.
But she had just cried so hard that it was impossible for her to wipe her face clean.
Just when Adela was anxious and didn't know what to do, she suddenly felt a pair of warm hands hugging her shoulders.
At this time, Gervis had come to Adela's side, put his arm around Adela's shoulders tenderly, and helped her up.
Adela turned her head away, not daring to look at Gervis, but Gervis stretched out his hand and straightened Adela's head.
"Why are you hiding here and crying? You won't be beautiful if you cry!"
Adela didn't wear any makeup and had a completely bare face, but because her face was so fair and smooth, even the slightest trace of tears could not be hidden.
So at this moment you can see the tear marks all over her little face and her red eyes.
"I...I'm not crying!"
Her pretty face flushed slightly and she weakly argued.
Gervis looked at Adela's appearance and felt that he was the ultimate scumbag!
He immediately spoke softly to Adela with even more pity.
"Don't move, your face is all stained, let me clean it for you!"
As he spoke, Gervis took out a towel from the space ring and gently wiped Adela's face.
Perhaps because she had cried before, Adela's mood finally calmed down a little.
"Grevith, I...I didn't mean to scold you just now!"
"Don't be angry!"
Adela's eyes were slightly red as she explained worriedly.
"Of course I won't be angry. I am your guardian knight!"
He wiped Adela's pretty face gently. Seeing that Adela was about to cry, Gervis said something to her seriously.
However, when Adela heard the name of the guardian knight Gervis, she felt very aggrieved.
He immediately cried out, buried his head in Gervis' arms, and began to cry bitterly.
Seeing this, Gervis felt extremely guilty and could only open his arms, hug Adela in his arms, and pat her back gently, letting her cry enough at once.
