Sweet Addiction

Chapter 45 Ada Got Angry



"My wife is so virtuous. Of course, it's not your fault." Aaron lowered his head and whispered in Irene's ear, "It's all because of
Carl. Although he has money in his family, he doesn't want to show off his wealth, so he won't let us make public. Think about it.
If a rich man went to the bar every day, how could it be? It might have already hit the headlines."
Hearing his explanation, Irene felt a bit wronged for his concealment. But she thought what he said was reasonable.
Then she turned around and looked up into his eyes. She stretched out her finger and said, "Let's pinkie swear. You can't hide
anything from me."
Aaron didn't hold her little finger, but stretched out his hand to smooth her hair. "What if it is a white lie?"
Irene frowned and hesitated. She felt like two lovely kids were fighting in her heart. One of them said, "If he tells a white lie, you
shouldn't be angry." But the other one retorted, "Is a white lie not a lie?"!
She had always been suffering from selective phobia...
When Aaron saw Irene's irresolute expression, he smiled and gently held her in his arms. "Irene, as long as you believe in me,
everything will be fine. You have married me for such a long time, but do you still think that I don't treat you well? You just need to
remember that I will never hurt you."
Irene obediently leaned in Aaron's arms. Of course she knew that her husband was nice to her, but she dared not say that she
knew her husband very well. She always felt that she could not see him clearly because he was wearing a veil.
In the cake shop, Ada read the newspaper in the shop assistant's hands. She grabbed the newspaper and saw a picture which
occupied half of the page. Her eyes reddened. She tore the newspaper into pieces immediately.
The shop assistants were too scared to say a word when they saw their boss' fiery temper. They exchanged glances with each
other and went on their own jobs.
Ada was sitting on the chair, trying her best to hold back her tears. Carl liked to play around, but it was the first time that he had
made such a big trouble. This time, she was really angry.
For the first time, she was not sure whether her persistence was right or not. Her whole youth was around Carl, but the man
never looked at her directly.
Should she try to get rid of him?

"When are you going to stop?! I turned a blind eye to all the fusss. But now, it has become a far cry on the newspaper! " Naylor
Cheng, Carl's father, scolded Carl, who was sitting on the sofa and seemed not to care about it.
"Well, father, I don't know that the paparazzi in the entertainment circle are so hard to deal with. I'll be more careful next time."
His father hit Carl's head with the newspaper and said, "Next time?! Do you want it to happen again?! Do you know how the
incident you put in the newspaper will affect your future career in the company? !"
Carl knew that his father was really angry with him, so he didn't dare to provoke him. He sat straight and listened to his father's
advice.
"Start working tomorrow."
"...I need to go ..."
"Where are you going?! Don't go anywhere!" Carl was interrupted by his mother, who winked at him. At the same time, Lauren
thought that he dared to refute. Did he want to be beaten?
Carl looked at his mother not standing on his side, flattened her mouth and stopped talking.
Naylor did not notice the news until the morning meeting. All shareholders implicitly said Carl had grown up, so it was time to
restrain himself.
Naylor had never done anything wrong in his life! But his beloved son had ruined everything. He thought Carl should have
stopped playing around after so many years. However, it went from bad to worse.
Staring at Carl, who was sitting there silently, he stood up and went to his study. Now he didn't want to see this bastard.
Lauren came to Carl when she saw Naylor leave. "You have made a mistake this time. The shareholders of our company have
already seen the newspaper. We don't know what the company has been talking about. Just listen to your father and go to the
company tomorrow."
Carl nodded his head reluctantly. Usually when he made trouble, his mother and Ada would put in a good word for him. But this
time, no one seemed to be helping him.
Lauren was annoyed when she saw Carl's indifferent attitude. She scolded him, "When did you hook up with that star! Break up
with her now! I don't know how sad Ada will be if she sees it."

Carl lied on the sofa casually. He didn't care about Ada's feelings at all.
Lauren sighed. She knew that she couldn't trust Carl anymore. She could only wait for Ada to come home tonight and explain for
him. She didn't ask Carl to marry a girl from a rich family. She only hoped that Carl could marry a girl from a decent family. She
watched Ada grow up from childhood, and knew Ada was also a nice girl. So if Ada could be with Carl, it was just fine. But she
didn't expect that Carl ignored Ada all the time.
Lauren was right. It was the first time that Ada didn't go home for three days. Lauren called her home these days. But Ada told
Lauren that the shop was busy and she wouldn't go home.
Lauren was worried about Ada. The cake shop was not a place where people could sleep, so she asked Carl to pick up Ada.
"Well, mom, it doesn't matter if she doesn't come back! She was an adult, how could she not know how to take care of herself? !"
"You bastard! You pissed her off. If you didn't go and get her back, she wouldn't listen to anyone!"
Carl mumbled, "Then let her live there."
"What did you say?! That cake shop doesn't even have a decent room to live! Carl, think about it, Ada is also your sister who
grew up with you. How can you not know how to take care of her?"
Carl lowered his head and sighed, "Okay, I'll go and find her tonight."
It was the second day that Carl came to work, but he did nothing. He just needed to stay in the Office.
He also broke up with that little star. He had only wanted to have fun with her. He didn't expect that their relationship would get
so serious in the beginning. The star called him several times after she knew his identity, but he never answered. If she just
loved his money, it would be boring.
After work, he was about to drive to Ada's cake shop. But when he got in the car, he found that he did not know the address of
the cake shop at all.
He had to ask his mother, so he was told off by her.
He felt wronged. In fact, he had right to not know where her cake shop was!

It was dark when he arrived. Sitting in the car, he looked at the bright lights in the cake shop, which made him feel very warm. To
be honest, he really admired Ada. She had liked him for so many years but never asked for return.
If he had to do it, he was sure that he couldn't hold on any longer.
