Surprised Wife With Twins
Chapter 1481: Encountering A Strong Rival

Chapter 1481: Encountering a Strong RivalBelinda pulled herself back to the present, “It's nothing.” But it wasclear she was distracted. Monica was her treasure, the most importantthing in her life. Belinda wished for her to be happy and couldn't bear tosee her experience any pain.

Jack Adams seemed to have the ability to empathize, understandingher worries. He slid the steak he had cut in front of her, "What worriesyou? Today was the first time I met Tristan. He seemed to be a goodyoung man, gentlemanly, and stable. He gives a sense of security, aman worth relying on."

Belinda looked up at his words, so he had also noticed that Monica andTristan's relationship was unusual?

"Belinda, have you lost weight recently?" Jack Adams sipped his redwine, looking at her with a hint of concern, "How long are you going tostay in Arkpool City this time?" Because as far as he knew, hercompany was not based in Arkpool City, nor did her business involveArkpool City.

“I'm not sure," Belinda responded, her thoughts involuntarily drifting toAlgerone Swain. She lifted her eyes to him and said with a slight smile,“I haven't lost weight, just a pound or two. It's normal to fluctuate.”"Regardless, you must take care of yourself when you're alone.” JackAdams was somewhat concerned about her, yet delicately maintaineda balance. He was a gentleman, a humble man.

"Come, let's toast," Jack Adams raised his glass to her, smiling as hesaid, "Thank you for your selfless dedication to the children.”

“I should also thank you on behalf of these fortunate children.” Belindawas a kind-hearted person. They clinked their glasses, finishing thewine in one gulp.

After lunch, Jack Adams insisted on escorting Belinda back to herplace, concerned for her well-being as she had drunk a bit of wine.Since the two of them had always had a good relationship, Belindadidn't refuse.

So, Jack Adams opened the car door for her, and she took her seat inthe passenger side.

“Belinda, where are you staying recently?" The man got into the driver'sseat, buckled his seatbelt, turned to her and asked, "Did you buy ahouse in Arkpool City?"

"No."

Belinda could feel his increasingly strong adoration for her and took theopportunity to be honest, "I'm staying in a house that Algerone Swain isnot using."

Jack Adams was visibly taken aback, though he didn't show it on hisface because he knew that their relationship was one of totalestrangement, incompatible as water and fire. And now, Belinda wasstaying in his vacant house, which can only mean one thing: theirrelationship had eased.

So, Jack Adams felt threatened, and even for a moment, he felt at aloss.

"Where is it?" He asked her, regaining his composure and keeping hisemotions in check.

Belinda gave him an address. It wasn't far from here. With thenavigation on, they drove towards the villas.

The silence in the car remained unbroken along the way. Theatmosphere was a little strange, and the car moved slowly.

At this point, Algerone Swain, standing in the snowy yard, was alreadyfreezing, his hands and feet icy. It was already noon, and he washungry. Thinking he wouldn't be able to see Belinda, he was about toleave.

But just as he turned to leave, a car turned into the yard and stopped infront of him, not more than two meters away.

Algerone Swain halted, and through the windshield, he saw the womanin the passenger seat and a middle-aged man in the driver's seat.Holding the bouquet of roses, Algerone Swain felt embarrassed. Hesuddenly felt like a fool, caught in a dilemma.

Seeing him, Belinda was also shocked.

As she unbuckled her seatbelt, she turned to Jack Adams, “Jack, I... Ihave something to do. It's not convenient to invite you in."

"Who is he?" Jack Adams suddenly felt a twinge of jealousy.

Belinda, holding the door she had just opened, glanced at the manstanding in the snow with his nose turning red from the cold, then at theman holding the steering wheel, and answered, “That is AlgeroneSwain."

"..." Jack Adams felt like his beliefs had collapsed, feeling as though hehad run into a formidable rival.
