About Me Being Adopted by Talula (Complete).

Summary

In this chapter, Orson expresses a willingness to help Chen with her relationship troubles, despite her initial prejudice against him. They brainstorm ways to act like a couple but stumble through awkward and unsuitable ideas, such as working overtime or hanging out at a morgue. Chen ultimately suggests showing some intimacy, prompting Orson to consider their next steps. As they plot, Adams unexpectedly joins them, offering to treat them to dinner as thanks for Chen's help with a case. At a high-end restaurant, Orson feels out of place and is mocked by Adams for his unfamiliarity with fine dining. As their meal progresses, Chen hints at needing to display affection, leading Orson to overcompensate with overly attentive gestures that bewilder both Chen and Adams. Post-dinner, Adams attempts to steer the conversation towards Orson's profession, but a work call interrupts, creating confusion for Chen about Orson's life in the Northern Territory. On a shopping street, Adams offers Chen shopping advice, while she contemplates holding hands with Orson to further their 'couple' act. Adams proposes they engage in fencing for exercise. When they arrive at the fencing club, Orson is unexpectedly swarmed by fans wanting autographs, pulling him away before the match with Adams can start. In an amusing turn of events, Orson quickly defeats Adams, who is left dazed and frustrated after being bested.
