Chapter 1748
Adrian, who shadowed his wife's every move, overheard the women’s chatter and decided to join the
conversation.
“Honey, I'm handsome, too, you know,” Adrian said with a hint of jealousy.
“You shouldn’t be looking at any man but me.
Jennifer merely rolled her eyes at Adrian, ignoring him.
“What are you all talking about? Maxwell doesn’t actually like me.
He's just exploiting me,” Sonia countered, her cheeks flushing with embarrassment from the gossip.
“You have no idea.
When | was recuperating, Maxwell was concerned that my sensitivity to language might weaken, so he tutored
He just worried | wouldn't be able to do my job well in the future!”

“Sonia, try to see this from another angle,” Sarah suggested, arms crossed.
“Couldn't it be that Maxwell was simply seizing the chance to be near you and to look after you?”
Jennifer quickly said, “I agree with that.
Men often beat around the bush like this, taking care of the people they're interested in this way before they can
confess their feelings.
Just then, Adrian thought of something.
He turned to Jennifer anxiously and said, “Honey, I'm not like that.
My love for you is direct and honest.
“You're so annoying!” Jennifer frowned and shot him a stern look.
“We're just having a girls’ chat here.
Why are you butting in? Go and do something elsewhere.
“Honey...” Adrian sulked.
Meanwhile, Holden approached from a distance, draped his arm around Adrian’s shoulders, and spun him
around, leading him away.
“You can talk with your wife later.
Right now, | need your help with a few things,” Holden said firmly.
Finally, only women were left to continue their gossip.
During the conversation, Ariana listened intently to her friends.
Once they finished talking, she turned to Sonia and commented, “That's great, isn’t it? Since Maxwell has been
reading the to you, you won't be out of practice when you return to work.
“That's not the case!” Sonia exclaimed, her expression sour.
“Maxwell is reading the | wrote.
“Which one?” Ariana asked, her smile broadening.
“You know which one,” Sonia muttered, her voice dropping as she looked down.

Ariana couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Though others might not know this, Ariana, being Sonia’s closest confidante, knew well that Sonia was referring
to her erotic .
Sarah and Jennifer were baffled by Ariana’s laughter.
They asked Ariana about it.
Just as Ariana was about to reveal that the Maxwell had been reading to Sonia was rather lewd, Sonia
quickly clamped a hand over her mouth to stop her from talking.
“Don’t Listen to her.
It's really nothing!” Sonia interjected with an awkward chuckle.
She tightened her grip as Ariana attempted to speak again.
Narrowing her eyes, Sarah expressed her skepticism.
“Really? Then why do you seem so anxious?”
