My Blind Wife Wants Divorced

[114] b



Unlike Adrianna, Sam was now in his room, constantly trying to find a way to make Adrianna talk to him casually. He threw himself onto the bed, letting his work clothes cling to his body. It wasn’t comfortable, but his thoughts about Adrianna were only causing him more restlessness. Sam stared at the ceiling of his room, his forehead creased, clearly deep in study. He would do anything to melt her heart.

Why was it so difficult? Sam wondered.

Sam sat up, folding his legs on the bed, his fingers moving restlessly. “What should I do? What reasons should I give?” Sam mumbled to himself.

Sam desperately wanted to make the girl talk to him casually. Numerous ideas popped into his head, but he needed to figure out the ideas he had.

“Invite Adrianna to lunch?”

Sam’s gaze shifted to the end of the room as he continued to think. In answer to his own question, he shook his head. “She would probably decline.” He also knew that Adrianna was different from the type of person to accept his invitation so easily. That’s why he needed a strong reason for her not to refuse.

“What plausible reason can I give? Oh, why is it so difficult to come up with ideas?” Sam scratched his head. “Where did all the ideas for wooing a woman go?” Sam shook his head. He felt frustrated now. Why did his mind become so challenged to find ideas? Usually, he would quickly figure out why this situation was different.

Feeling stuck, Sam walked towards the bathroom. It seemed like, after work, his mind couldn’t think clearly. In the bathroom, Sam quickly changed his clothes, then splashed water on his face, hoping to find an idea to make Adrianna talk to him casually.

After washing his face, Sam looked at his reflection in the mirror. He said he was pretty good-looking, so why was it so hard to reach Adrianna?

“What approach should I use? Goodness.” Sam scolded himself.

He still stared at his reflection in the mirror, his fingers moving on the sink as he continued to think.

“Adrianna, let’s have lunch together. If you don’t want to, I’ll cut your salary?”Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Silence. Sam fell silent before shaking his head vigorously. That would make him look like a fool in Adrianna’s eyes. Who would invite a girl to lunch with the threat of cutting her monthly salary? Sam would sound incredibly strange; he couldn’t do that. He needed a reasonable threat, something that wouldn’t damage his dignity.

“Adrianna, if you want an additional bonus, you must have lunch with me.”

Goodness! Was there anything more foolish than his previous words? Once again, he felt like a complete idiot.

No!

Oh, why was it so difficult to find a way to make Adrianna talk to him casually? Should he invite Adrianna for a coffee at the café or ask her to go book hunting, although that would seem even stranger? Sam decided to leave the bathroom. Frustrated, he tossed his dirty clothes around, creating a small mess in the bathroom.

As he walked towards the bed, Sam continued to try to find an idea to invite the girl. He had to find a picture that seemed elegant, not forceful, and that Adrianna couldn’t refuse. But how?

Adrianna has now returned to her boarding house. She immediately removes her shoes and tosses her handbag aside before sitting on the sofa. Adrianna stretches a little and then retrieves her phone from her bag. There are many things Adrianna wants to tell Chloe, so she quickly searches for Chloe’s contact. It wouldn’t be possible to talk to Chloe at the café. How would her fiery voice sound? After finding Chloe’s name on the screen, she dials her friend’s number.

The call is answered after the third ring.

“Chloe!” Adrianna exclaims, wanting to share everything right away.

Hearing Adrianna’s voice, Chloe bursts into laughter on the other end. “What’s it this time?” It’s as if she already knows her friend will have much to say. Adrianna rolls her eyes lazily. She doesn’t feel like discussing and mentioning one particular name. But… “Mr. Sam was so strange today, even more than yesterday.”

“Did he turn into Spider-Man?”

“Chloe!” Adrianna squints in disbelief at Chloe’s statement.

“Then what?” Chloe chuckles on her end.

Adrianna massages her temples. “He suddenly asked for a ride.”

“Really?”

“Yes!!” Adrianna yells.

Hearing that, Chloe’s laughter fills the air once again.

“So annoying, right? My motorcycle was the victim! Sam is tall and huge, and Chloe is like an electric pole. He rode my motorcycle around Senayan. Well, yes, it’s in the same direction as my house. But…” Adrianna massages the bridge of her nose.

“Where did he leave his car?”

“How should I know,” Adrianna retorts irritably. That also makes Chloe laugh again. Adrianna falls silent, feeling even more annoyed hearing her friend’s laughter. Why is she so satisfied laughing at her? Does she want to be in Adrianna’s position right now?

Ding!

A message notification is heard, and Adrianna moves her phone away from her ear. Her eyes widen as she sees who sent her a message. Due to her frustration, she ignores all the notifications from Sam. She doesn’t care, Adrianna thinks to herself.

She continues to talk about the strange things Sam did.

“If you knew how weird Sam was, then, Chloe.”

Chloe falls silent, the sound of pouring water audible in Adrianna’s ear. It seems Chloe is getting a drink. Adrianna stays silent, giving Chloe some time. After a while, Chloe’s voice is heard again.

“Sorry, laughing at you made me thirsty, Adrianna. I haven’t laughed like this in a long time.”

Adrianna rolls her eyes. “Laugh before your laughter gets stuck,” Adrianna says curtly.

“He seems determined to bother you, Adrianna. Are all bosses like that?”

Adrianna shrugs, and she walks towards her bed. She feels like the bed is calling her to lay her body there. She throws herself onto the bed. Ah, so comfortable, Adrianna thinks. After a tiring day of work, lying on the bed is the best remedy. Adrianna turns her body around. Intentionally, she moves her phone away and raises her voice.

“I don’t know, Chloe. I’m so fed up. Seriously, I shudder when I think about that incident. It’s as if Sam has nothing better to do.” Adrianna squeezes her pillow, trying to channel her frustration. She squeezes her pillow until her fingertips turn white.

“Don’t get angry. Maybe Sam is testing your patience.”

“He keeps testing it!” Adrianna grumbles in frustration. “I wonder what kind of job Sam has switched to, making me annoyed like this.” Adrianna puts on an angry face when she hears Chloe’s laughter. Every time she tells a story, Chloe always bursts into laughter. Who wouldn’t get irritated?

Ding!!

Adrianna groans upon hearing the notification sound. She ignores it, knowing it’s from Sam. Why does he keep bothering her?

“Don’t go to bed angry, Adrianna. Do you still work tomorrow? It’s not good to sleep with frustration in your heart.”

Adrianna sighs softly. “You’re right, Sa.”

“Now it’s better for you to eat and sleep early.”

It’s good advice. So that’s what Adrianna does. She ends the call. Before placing her phone on the nightstand, she glares at it, seeing the numerous messages from Sam. What’s wrong with that person?

Sam: Can you reply to my message?

Not important! Adrianna grumbles in her heart.
