Rosalind White, Butler White’s daughter...
The childhood friend who grew up with Adrian Law at the Law Family, who courageously saved Adrian at a young age, is now returning to the country...
Cecilia Vaughn suddenly rembered the phone call she received at the Law Group CEO’s office, from that girl far abroad, speaking eloquently, calling Adrian brother, with such intimacy and attachnt in her voice...
She even knew long ago that Adrian is lactose intolerant, while Cecilia foolishly did good things that went wrong.
Cecilia Vaughn looked slightly gloomy, tightly clenching her hands, wanting to hide the discomfort in her heart.
—She didn’t know why, even though Rosalind saved Adrian’s life, logic told her she should be grateful, she was really jealous of that girl she had never t.
Jealous that she grew up with Adrian, jealous that she knew Adrian’s tastes and habits, and even jealous that she saved his life.
It turns out, love is so selfish, selfish to the point of wanting to possess all of one’s lover.
After experiencing so many things, she thought she was mature, but when encountering a rival, she is still so common, unable to escape.
...
Just when Cecilia Vaughn felt extrely upset, Adrian Law suddenly walked to her side, as if seeing through Cecilia’s thoughts, and hugged her hand.
"Grandmother, no need. For such a small matter as picking soone up, let Wyatt handle it."
While speaking, the man’s large hand constantly brought warm comfort, as if lting the unease in Cecilia’s heart.
Adrian Law spoke with firm conviction, and Cecilia raised her head, sowhat surprised.
With just one glance, she t the man’s dark, ink-like phoenix eyes, so deep, so rich, holding many complex emotions she couldn’t comprehend.
But all along, his eyes only held her, only her.
Like a certain silent solace.
...
Stacy Sumrs didn’t expect her grandson to refuse so decisively, without even finding a reason.
She was filled with rage.
"Picking up Rosalind isn’t a small matter! Our Law Family isn’t the kind of heartless wealthy family, Rosalind saved your life, why shouldn’t you go pick her up in person?"
Stacy Sumrs was grumbling when she happened to see Adrian Law and Cecilia Vaughn holding hands intimately.
She wasn’t stupid, and she suddenly slapped her forehead and chuckled awkwardly.
"Oh, it’s Grandma’s mistake, I actually forgot you have a wife now. Adrian, you’re worried Cecilia might misunderstand, right?"
Stacy Sumrs smiled warmly, placing her wrinkled hand gently over Cecilia’s and Adrian’s hands, speaking sincerely.
"How about this? Rosalind just returned to the country, after spending years in Vesperia, she’s not familiar with things. Adrian, you’ve married, just take Cecilia along to pick up Rosalind?"
"Anyway, you’re all young people, good to get acquainted, and you’ll be friends in the future."
Stacy Sumrs, having experienced life, could clearly see that Rosalind’s heart was always set on her grandson...
Bringing Cecilia along to pick up Rosalind was also a subtle warning, hoping to gently remind Rosalind to see that her grandson is now spoken for, and give up sooner.
The weight of a life-saving grace is heavy; Stacy Sumrs also intended to take this chance to find a good match for Rosalind.
This way, the Law Family wouldn’t have wronged the benefactor of her grandson.
...
Adrian Law furrowed his brow, but within half a second, his clear voice rang out in the air.
"There’s no need for that."
Seeing her grandson act so stubbornly, Stacy Sumrs felt imnsely troubled, she quickly winked at Cecilia.
"Cecilia, Rosalind did save Adrian’s life. Now that she’s managed to return, not picking her up is unreasonable, quickly convince Adrian, this ungrateful fellow."
Adrian Law: "..."
Cecilia Vaughn was embarrassed, but seeing Stacy’s comical winking, she understood the elder’s unstated sentint a bit.
So, Cecilia gently patted Adrian’s sleeve.
"Alright, Adrian, then next month we will go pick up Miss White together, it’s decided."
Actually, she also wanted to personally see that girl.
After all, in various travel photos, Rosalind White had so resemblance to her in the brows and eyes.
Moreover, Cecilia knew Stacy had good intentions in the suggestion; going with Adrian also had an implication of asserting her position.
Adrian didn’t expect Cecilia to switch sides so quickly; he narrowed his eyes briefly and finally sighed.
"Alright then, if Cecilia wants to go pick her up, then we will."
He always hoped that Cecilia would be happy.
...
After discussing serious matters, Stacy Sumrs playfully got up and glanced aningfully at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Okay, I’m off. I was wrong to suddenly open the door earlier; I won’t disturb you young couple’s rest anymore."
"..."
Cecilia’s face turned red from Stacy’s gaze.
Why did Grandma, even at this age, remain so mischievous?
But if Stacy hadn’t appeared abruptly, perhaps... perhaps she and Adrian would have beco a real couple by now.
The more Cecilia thought, the more embarrassed she felt, quickly sweeping away those fanciful thoughts.
"Grandma, it’s late. How about I see you off?"
"No need, no need." Stacy was about to decline when suddenly, a small white kitten appeared, climbing onto Stacy’s leg.
"ow~"
Stacy picked up the small white kitten and gently stroked its fur.
"Hm, you two even have a cat? And it’s a Persian with odd eyes, nice taste."
Seeing Mimi contentedly rest in Stacy’s arms, Cecilia was extrely shocked by the scene, feeling deeply moved.
"Grandma, Mimi is very aloof, never friendly with people, I had to tempt it back with bread, Adrian got bitten by it too, their relationship has only slightly improved now..."
"Really?"
Stacy nodded with a smile: "Maybe I have a bond with Mimi. Now that you’ve publicly announced your relationship at Tyson’s engagent party, you can bring Mimi over to the Law Residence for als."
Cecilia laughed.
"Okay, Grandma, they say animals can best discern kindness and malice. Mimi being close to you ans you’re a good person."
"Sweet talker, unlike my grandson, who only knows how to argue."
"Rember to visit the Law Residence and see your elders more often!"
"Definitely, Grandma, be safe and send us a ssage when you get ho."
"I will."
Stacy nodded, then carefully placed Mimi on the sofa before reluctantly leaving.
...
Stacy Sumrs left, and Cecilia Vaughn thought for a mont, unable to resist asking about Adrian Law’s mother and sister.
The man was silent for a mont, finally shaking his head.
"Cecilia, let’s talk about it later, shall we?"
For others, they may gradually forget, but for him, it’s a wound in his heart that will never heal.
Only festering, never healing.
Until the true culprit is found, the hatred constantly gnaws at his heart, bleeding raw.
Cecilia felt helpless.
"Alright, if you won’t say, at least tell what you wrote in the docunts for Tyson Law..."
At the ntion, Adrian’s lips curled, his smile mischievous.
"You haven’t forgotten the equity agreent we got from Grandma, have you?"
Of course, the gift he presented was far more than just that.
...
In this mont, at the Vaughn Family old residence.
Mabel Keaton snatched Tyson Law over, taking the pile of docunts and haphazardly throwing them at Fiona Vaughn’s face.
"Tyson, co ho with ! This wedding, whoever wants to marry can marry, but we will not!"
