Delete, Block, Move On: Your Little Crybaby Upgraded to Untouchable Queen novel Chapter 30

Chapter 30

Tristan quickly removed his jacket and draped it over Evelyn’s exposed body as he crouched beside her.[]

Evelyn wailed dramatically as if the world were ending.

“Get the fuck out of here, Adeline!” Tristan shouted, completely missing how deathly pale Adeline had become.[]

Ronald snapped out of his shock and rushed to support Adeline. “Are you okay?“]

Adeline clenched her teeth, her eyes reddening. “You make me SICK, Tristan Kelce, really.“]]

She pushed away Ronald’s hand and struggled to stand on her own despite her unsteady legs.[]

Tristan’s heart tightened. The look in her eyes seemed to say that once she walked through that door, she would never return.[]

He felt a flicker of panic.]]

Ronald: “Sir… I think she hurt her back really badly when you pushed her.“[]

Tristan’s eyes widened.]]

Suddenly remembering how forcefully he’d yanked her, flashing back to her expression of pain, he immediately stood up and went after her, ignoring Evelyn’s theatrical sobbing.]

“Summer, I need to end this now. I just… can’t stomach the sight of him anymore.“[]

Adeline leaned against the corner of the elevator, barely audible as she spoke on the phone, her voice fighting to hold back

tears.

Unable to return to her department in such a state, she had forced herself to leave the building despite the excruciating pain and drive to her new place.]

Summer heard the breaking point in her voice and immediately grabbed her purse and car keys. “Where are you right now?“[]

Adeline gave her the address.[]

Summer: “I’m on my way. Stay still.“[]

She wasn’t just Adeline’s divorce lawyer but her childhood friend. She knew Adeline well–seemingly gentle and delicate, but fiercely proud and strong inside. Since discovering Tristan’s affair, she had been methodically preparing for divorce despite her pain, never once breaking down in front of Summer.]

For her to sound like this, she must have been hurt beyond measure.[]

That motherfucking piece of shit Tristan!]

“Okay, I’ll wait for you.“]

Adeline ended the call and leaned back with closed eyes, completely still.[]

Chapter 30

Her long hair obscured her face, blocking out the surrounding light. Her thoughts seemed to be dragged into an endless black vortex, falling deeper and deeper…]

Time passed.]

“Are you planning to move anytime soon?“]

A rich, cool male voice gently broke the silence of the elevator, where you could have heard a pin drop.]

Adeline’s eyes snapped open as she turned her head in alarm.[]

Her gaze landed on broad shoulders in black and a pale, elegant neck–black and white creating a stark, sophisticated contrast. Looking up, she met deep, intense eyes as cold as glaciers staring at her, though his expression wasn’t unkind.[]

“It’s you…”

She recognized him, mumbling softly before they continued their awkward staring contest.]]

“…“1

Zarek Weasley was thoroughly confused by this dazed woman before him.

She had followed him like a shadow from the parking garage into the elevator, then commandeered the most critical corner and refused to move.]]

He leaned toward her, his movements carefully measured.]]

At six–foot–four, he towered over her like a mountain.[]

Adeline instinctively raised her hand to block him. “What are you-“]

Before she could finish, a beautiful, elegant hand landed on her arm, palm facing outward, then… gently moved her aside to reach the fingerprint scanner.[]

Adeline: “…”

Only then did she finally snap out of her foggy mental state.

The elevator hadn’t moved because she hadn’t pressed anything…]

And she had been blocking the fingerprint scanner, preventing him from using it…]

How embarrassing. Truly mortifying.[]

The elevator began to ascend.[]

When the display showed 5, she quietly reached for the scanner herself, while noticing his floor.[]

Just then, a phone vibrated nearby, followed by that cool, rich voice entering her ears: “What’s that? Hmm? Measurements? Ms. Paige asked for…“]]

“Adeline, they’re openly taunting you now. Are you sure you only want a divorce? Because I can think of several creative ways to destroy him.“[]

She gently stroked Adeline’s hair. “Talking so tough, yet look at what that bastard’s done to you.“[]

“Got carried away in the moment,” Adeline smiled self–mockingly. “Two more weeks and they could fuck on the dining table while I’m eating breakfast–I wouldn’t even blink.“[]

“Afraid your eyes might rot?“]

“Animals mating. At most, I’d throw up a little.“[]

“…That’s still hard on your stomach.“[]

Summer stayed with her a while longer, and seeing that Adeline was doing better, went to the pharmacy to buy some pain patches for her back.

Outside, night had fallen.]

Tristan had searched everywhere Adeline might normally go, called all her friends, and even visited his in–laws.[]

Still no sign of her.

Summer was the first person he’d called. She claimed not to know where Adeline was.[]

By his tenth call, she wasn’t answering…]

Adeline finally spoke up. “Just answer it. He probably knows you left the law firm early today.“[]

“That piece of shit, now he’s worried?” Summer walked to the balcony to take the call, immediately letting loose. “Well, if it isn’t Mr. Cheating Asshole himself. Isn’t Adeline’s disappearance exactly what you wanted? Now nobody’s standing between you and your little slut’s fuck sessions. How perfectly convenient!“[]

Her words confirmed they were together. Tristan’s voice was hoarse. “Let me talk to her.“[]

“Can’t. I don’t know where she is. Maybe she jumped off a bridge. Why don’t you check the obituaries tomorrow?“[]

With that, Summer hung up.[]

Let him suffer!]]

On the other end, Tristan’s face turned frigid.[]

Summer’s phone rang again. Adeline came out from the bedroom. “I’ll take it.“[]

Summer handed her the phone.[]

Adeline answered, “Stop harassing Summer. I’ll come back when I feel like it.“[]

There was a brief silence on the other end, followed by the sound of heavy breathing. His voice was cautious. “Where are you? I’ll come get you right now! How’s your back? Are you still in pain?“]

“Hah…” Adeline let out a bitter laugh. “Tristan, your fake concern makes me want to vomit. Save the performance for your girlfriend–I’m not buying it.“[]
