Chapter 56

• Adaline spent her Friday night with Tess at one of their favorite cafes, reliving the routines they used to have when Adaline was still single. Although Tess was already dating Duncan at that time, due to Altezza's busy schedule, Tess and Duncan rarely enjoyed time together.
• Adaline wore a knee-length black dress with small floral patterns. The collar was round, and the sleeves puffed up to above her elbows. A white leather belt cinched her slim waist. Her long hair cascaded beautifully in waves down her back, making her look more like a teenage girl than a twenty-five-year-old woman. Perhaps it was because of her petite frame and natural makeup that she looked youthful.
• "Have you been waiting long?" Tess sat in front of her, wearing a long-sleeved turtle neck top and a black leather mini skirt. Her body looked beautiful and sensual with curves in all the right places. Even Adaline herself desired Tess's ideal body. Compared to Joanna, Tess had an equally sexy body, just shorter. And that one flaw was what Joanna often teased whenever they met. Her long black hair fell onto her back, slightly damp from the drizzle outside the cafe. Yes, it was drizzling outside, but it only made Tess look even sexier.
