Delete, Block, Move On: Your Little Crybaby Upgraded to Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 106

Chapter 106

“I’ll let him know,” Adeline nodded[]

She considered warning Zarek that Leif clearly had ulterior motives–trying to drag him into a world of debauchery–but quickly realized someone with Zarek’s intelligence hardly needed the warning

She texted Ryan with Zarek’s

sponse[]

It’s still early. Let’s take a walk,” Zarek

suggested

Adeline looked up from her phone. “T’d rather stay in. It’s getting dark, and wandering around these mountains alone is kind of creepy.“[]

She noticed Zarek’s expression shift and quickly realized her misunderstanding …Oh, you meant you wanted to go for a walk?]

“Wandering alone is kind of creepy,” he echoed, his expression oddly melancholic []

Income with you,” Adeline agreed, forcing a smile.]

Why couldn’t he just say “I want to go for a walk, come with me? Every conversation with him felt like a reading comprehension test where she confidently chose an answer only to get it completely wrong.].

Made her feel like an idiot.[]

Zarek glanced at her formal outfit and heels. “Change into something comfortable and different shoes.” 0

Adeline nodded and headed upstairs.[]

She returned wearing casual clothes and flats.

They left around 5 PM.]

It was dusk, but not yet dark.[]

The air was crisp and refreshing, the breeze cool, and the gradually setting sun painted the distant mountains with golden light–truly breathtaking.[]

Adeline followed behind Zarek.[]

She’d worried his long legs would make it difficult to keep up, but he walked slowly, allowing her to enjoy the stroll and appreciate the scenery.]

“Ever heard of the legend? Zarek asked casually.]

“What legend?” Adeline responded.[

They say twilight is a supernatural hour–the witching hour. Creatures lurking in darkness emerge then, taking human form or possessing people walking the streets. They might suddenly call your name, and if you respond, they’ll devour your soul…

His rich, smooth voice carried on the dusk breeze, creating an otherworldly atmosphere that made the hairs on the back of her neck stand up.[]

Adeline paused for three seconds.

Then she played along with an exaggerated gasp. That’s terrifying!“]

Don’t worry, it’s just a story. Thought you might find it interesting.“]

It is interesting Can they only call your name? What about nicknames or titles? If one calls “Mom‘ and a mother answers, does that count?“]

She asked with genuine curiosity.[

Zarek smiled faintly “Of course it counts. These creatures don’t just possess people–they can transform into someone you know to trick you, then consume your soul when you’re unaware.

Adeline dramatically feigned fear “Stop. I cant take anymore!“]

Zarck said no more!]

Adeline thought to herself Flaying along with the boss’s ghost stories? All part of the job.[]

They continued walking[]

They reached a pavilion!]

By now, the sun had sunk lower, spreading magnificent layers of red and orange across the sky–so stundung it took her breath away []

As Adeline was absorbed in the view, Zarek suddenly called her, lus voice unnaturally gentle “Ms. Paige

She instinctively began to respond

Then remembered something and quickly clamped her mouth shut

Zarel waved his hand in front of her face “Ms Paige? You okay?]

Adeline kept her head down silerd

“Ma Paige?

“Adaline Paiger

Im talling to you Cat got your tongue? Zarek cupped her face in his hands, das Lane teasing “Why are you answering? Oh wait, is it because of that legend? You’re actually taking it seriously? Come on, it’s just a story. Say something

Adeline remained steadfast!)

She closed her eyes!

Not falling for it

Though I was just a game, she refused to lose!

Chapter 106

It was like playing freeze tag–a test of endurance![]

What she didn’t realize was that while she was seriously playing this game, her boss had become distracted.]

His gaze had settled on her lips, sunset–tinged like rose petals. And she was… completely unguarded.[]

The pavilion grew quiet, with only the sound of the wind.[]

Zarek leaned down, inching closer…[]

Adeline’s eyes shifted beneath closed lids []

His warm breath touched her temple, the tip of her nose, finally hovering near her lips. His voice, husky and intimate: “Even If you don’t respond, I can still devour you–swallow you whole. []

what seemed like disappointment, releasing her face. “You’re just too hard to fool

They returned to the villa.[]

Adeline smiled politely at Claire as they both entered,

tered, with Claire leading the way []

She guided them to the villa’s central area, a hall large enough for dozens of people, connected to a secluded bamboo grove and a heated swimining pool outside.[]

Upon entering they were immediately engulfed by foul air []

Cigarette smoke, alcohol, perfume, and various other unpleasant odors mingled together []

Zarck frowned slightly

“Bly dear Mr. Weasley, you’ve fully arrived! I’ve been dying to see you.” Leif rose from the sofa, speaking with excessive Lanularity as he strode toward them.[]

As he approached, he tried to place lus hand on Zarel’s shoulder

Tras time, Zarek smoothly destepped, leaving Lear’s hand hanging awkwardly in the air

Lell looked visibly embarrassed.[]

Zarck clearly wanted to twat the kale and remarked with a barely concealed snurk, “Quite the party you’ve got going. Mr. Hara. Must be exhausting. I hear some couldn’t even get out of bed today. You really should pace yourself at your

Leif’s face cycled through several colurs !!

This arrogant kid, playing I coul

Just wait – you’ll show your true colors soon enough!)

Thinking this, he glanced at Adeline standing belund Zarck, his smile turning suggestive “My Fage your boss isn’t feeling under the weather today, is be? He can drink now, right?||

Adelice returned a professional smile. “Mr. Hara, whether our CEO drink or not is entirely his chow

Chapter 100

Leif chuckled. “Well, I’m definitely going to get him drunk tonight“]

With a wave of his hand, he added, “Let’s sit down I’d like to introduce you to some friends

The so–called “VIPs had all stood when Zarek entered]

These industry leaders now wore expressions of eager flattery.]

The beautiful women with them also recognized the importance of the young, handsome VIP who had arrived. They stood in small groups, while a few in swimwear by the heated pool outside peered in curiously through the glass

Adeline discreetly scanned the room []

She counted the “ten beauties Ryan had mentioned.[]

Including Claire, there were only nine: Where was the tenth?

She looked around until finally, at the edge of the pool, partially hidden by plants, she spotted a pair of porcelain–white, delicate legs that looked almost fragile, wearing small white shoes []

The epitome of innocent purity.[]
