Chapter 276 Adenauer's Invitation

Adenauer was still in his work clothes.

I looked at him, and he was looking me in the eye. Something moved silently between us.

It could have been a few seconds or a minute before he finally looked away.

'As a psychiatrist, I support his decision,' he said quietly. "When it comes to someone capable of emotional manipulation, the victim often ninjanovel.org becomes isolated. Having someone there to push you around and help you escape from that environment is one of the most effective ways to help.

Relief washed over me in an instant, but I still had doubts. "But I just told him on the phone that I trusted him and that I would give him more time. If I show up right away, will he think I don't trust him after all?"

"When do you think to go? asked Adenauer suddenly.

'Tomorrow? If I can get a ticket", I replied without thinking. 'I'm planning to surprise him under the pretense of spending Christmas together. That way he'll be more receptive to my good intentions, I think."

It was only after I spoke that I noticed that Adenauer's mood had soured.

-what's happening? -I asked worried

Adenauer held out his hands helplessly. 'Actually, he was going to invite you to spend Christmas with me and my family.' When I heard that, my mind went blank for a moment.

My relationship with Adenauer was still strong and I was alone in a foreign country. It was perfectly normal for him to invite me to spend Christmas with his family.

But until now, the idea hadn't even crossed my mind!

When Charlotte asked me about my plans, I said that I would return to the United States without hesitation. In other words, I was just thinking about who I wanted to ninjanovel.org content spend Christmas with, not even considering that Adenauer might invite me.

This was not something a bride should overlook.

I visibly tensed and looked at Adenauer apprehensively. Have you told your family yet?"

As I waited for his answer, I didn't even notice that he was holding his breath. Only my eyes betrayed my concern and blame.

Adenauer looked at me and exhaled slowly, the corners of his mouth turning up slightly. 'Fortunately, not yet.'

Even if I didn't care for Adenauer anymore, I got the answer from his reaction.

My God! He had definitely told the family about him.

In those few seconds that he was thinking about his answer, Adenauer had to consider whether it was better to tell the truth or use a well-intentioned lie.

That was Adenauer's character: thoughtful and gentle.

He always put my feelings first.

Guilt washed over me like a tidal wave, shaking me to the bone.

Adenauer so wanted her to spend Christmas with him. It would only take a few days, and things weren't too bad with Nick right

now.

As for Cinder, he didn't need to worry me too much.

Although he hadn't had much contact with Eliott, he had gotten

get to know him a bit over the years.

Cinder had said he was coming to spend Christmas with us, but his main reason for going to Harvard was to see Eliott.

He doubted Eliott would be 'generous' enough to give up his rare Christmas with Cinder for Nick and me once they reconciled. Maybe he wouldn't even be able to see her when he got back to the States.

'Or I could go with you to meet your family tomorrow,' I said after much deliberation. "Adenauer, I'm so sorry. But Nick has done a

lot for me. Without him,read only on ninjanovel.org I would not have been here. I can't bear the thought of her spending Christmas with that freak.'

If he let that happen, I would never forgive myself.

"Actually, you don't have to apologize," Adenauer said softly, putting his arm around me. 'I understand how you feel. Just go away. We can still FaceTime at Christmas."

He was so considerate.

And I was almost moved to tears.

'And after thinking about it, I think it's probably too early for you to meet my parents anyway,' Adenauer added with a light laugh. "They're a bit old-fashioned when it comes to relationships. It's actually a relief that you're spending Christmas with your friends. Otherwise, I would be worried that you are only in Germany_"

He even gave me a way out.

I hugged Adenauer tightly and gave him a passionate kiss.

So my trip to Harvard was essential.

The thought of returning to the United States filled me with longing. I wished that I could appear on that familiar land in the next second.

I immediately opened Skyscanner and searched for the first flight from Munich to New York.

As expected, most of the tickets were sold out around Christmas.

"God please! Leave me at least one ticket..." I prayed as I went through the options on the airline's website.

"Maybe you could find flights near Harvard," Adenauer suggested, looking over my shoulder.
