Prosperous Marriage: Married to My Brother-in-law-Chapter 776 - 775 Leaving Once Again (4)_1

After hanging up the phone, he opened the car door and looked at Adele Horne inside, who was also looking at him.

"Adele, get out of the car. I need to talk to you," Noah Reyes said calmly.

Adele Horne turned her face away, clearly not wanting to pay him any attention.

She didn’t like his domineering, authoritarian, and aggressive manner.

Noah Reyes’s eyes glinted; he didn’t have much time for this standoff.

Reaching out, Noah Reyes pulled Adele Horne from the car. Adele slapped at his hand, trying to break free from his strong grip as he did so.

"Adele, I have to leave. Something has happened within my organization, and I need to leave immediately. Wait for me, okay?" Noah Reyes gazed deeply at Adele Horne, whose face was flushed, speaking in a hoarse voice.

Adele Horne was stunned.

He was leaving?

He was leaving again?

Wait for him?

Why should she wait for him?

To make her wait another four years? She was already twenty-seven; how many more four-year periods of her youth could she afford to waste, to let slip by?

Gently touching her face, Noah Reyes felt a profound reluctance. Their relationship wasn’t yet settled; one could even say there had been no substantial progress, yet he had to leave again. When he returned, would the distance between them be even greater?

And then there was his rival in love, Gio Coleman. If he left, would Adele accept Gio?

But he had to go now; his mother’s safety was equally important to him.

Last night, after those elites had hastily departed, the opponents released two other Reyes Family matriarchs but kept Noah Reyes’s birth mother, the wife of the previous family head, confined.

The incoming news informed Noah Reyes that those rebelling and plotting to usurp power weren’t just one or two individuals. It was a collaboration between his still-young uncles and his ambitious, adult half-brothers—essentially, all his blood relatives were involved in the unrest. They wanted to eliminate him, taking advantage of the fact that he wasn’t married yet and his illegitimate child hadn’t been formally recognized by the family. His mother was getting old, as was his father. His mother could no longer bear children. Even if his father remarried and had legitimate offspring, what use would a newborn heir be against those jackals and wolves? So, if those people eliminated him, they could shatter the tradition of the Reyes Family, who held power in the Blazing Flame Sect, where succession was passed to direct heirs.

"Adele, wait for me. You must wait for me. I’ll be back soon," Noah Reyes said, reluctantly pulling his face away from hers, his eyes conveying deep, indescribable emotions.

He released his hold, giving Adele her freedom.

Turning around, he gave a low command to Deon Myers, "Is the private jet ready?"

Deon Myers nodded.

"Let’s go!"

After saying this, Noah Reyes turned one last time for a deep look at Adele Horne, who still stood there dumbfounded. He imprinted her charming image in his mind, then turned and strode out of the Manor. His private jet was parked on a large lawn outside.

As he walked, he took out his phone and called Glades Horne.

"What’s up?" Glades Horne asked, sounding to be in a particularly good mood.

"There’s trouble in my organization, and I have to return immediately. Adele and Billy—I’m entrusting them to your care for now. Please, you must ensure their safety," Noah Reyes earnestly requested of Glades Horne, his voice hoarse.

Glades Horne’s expression turned solemn. "Is it serious?" he asked gravely.

Noah Reyes was silent.

"My sister and my nephew—I will guarantee their safety."

"One more thing." Having received his assurance, Noah Reyes continued, "Immediately destroy all information regarding Adele and Billy. Lock it down. Don’t let anyone find out anything about the mother and son. I trust you have the ability to do this."

Glades Horne’s expression hardened again. He realized the situation Noah Reyes faced was severe and dangerous, potentially threatening his sister and nephew. "Alright!" he answered at once.

"Thank you."

Noah Reyes finished his thanks and was about to hang up.

"Wait!" Glades Horne suddenly shouted, stopping him.

Noah Reyes had already walked out of the Manor.

"You must come back alive to retrieve your wife and child! The Horne Family is wealthy, but I won’t support your wife and child for a lifetime!"

A warmth spread through Noah Reyes’s heart. This future brother-in-law actually has a soft side. At least, he’s no longer as hostile as he was at first.

"Definitely!" Noah Reyes bit out the word. The two equally proud men were beginning to appreciate each other, each in their own way.

Adele Horne snapped back to her senses and instinctively chased after him.

The sight of Noah Reyes’s departing figure weighed heavily on her.

His expression told her he had encountered something serious. Thinking about his true identity, Adele Horne couldn’t help but worry. An ominous feeling assailed her heart, terrifying her further.

"Noah Reyes!"

Just as Noah Reyes was about to step onto the plane, she finally caught up to him, breathless.

Noah Reyes paused but didn’t turn around.

"What... what happened to you?" Adele Horne asked, looking up at his back.

"It’s just a small matter, nothing for you to worry about. Remember to wait for me. Everything in the Manor is at your disposal. All the keys are in the Study Room on the second floor; you’ll find them easily. Tell Billy that Daddy didn’t mean to leave without saying goodbye." With that, Noah Reyes boarded the plane.

"Hey! You’re just leaving like this? What exactly happened to you? Is it dangerous? I’m telling you, I won’t wait for you! You..."

Noah Reyes’s private jet had already taken off.

He had seemed so resolute in his departure.

Only he knew he had no other choice. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Watching the private plane soar into the blue sky, quickly becoming a tiny speck before drifting far away, Adele Horne was infuriated.

What on earth was he playing at, leaving like this?

After *he* endured his sister-in-law’s harsh tricks, running three thousand meters until he was practically dead from heat and exhaustion, he had only just managed to get *her* away from the company. They had hardly exchanged a few words, and now he had left so decisively!

He... He infuriated her!

But to say she was angry was an understatement; she was more worried.

His hasty departure clearly meant something serious had happened. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have abandoned her under these circumstances, leaving yet again.

With a touch of disappointment and a hint of worry, Adele Horne stood numbly on the lawn, staring blankly at the blue sky where Noah Reyes’s private jet had long since vanished. Only the vast azure expanse remained, with a few sparse white clouds and the dazzling sunlight refracting downwards, stinging her eyes.

This dramatic turn of events was hard for her to process.

That damned Noah Reyes! It would be better if he never came back!

Every time he appeared, he shattered the peace she had painstakingly found in her life, stirring up winds and raising waves. And now, he had taken off again, without even telling her the real reason for his departure!

All that talk about his love for her making him domineering—it was all lies!

If he truly loved her, why wouldn’t he tell her why he was leaving?
