Cecilia Vaughn’s cheeks flushed red, even though they were all adults, the things in front of her were just too outrageous!
"Grandma, you’re so naughty."
Stacy Sumrs flashed a sly smile and knocked Cecilia Vaughn on the forehead.
"Silly girl, what’s naughty or nice, by the looks of it, you haven’t consummated the marriage, have you? Hurry up and win Adrian over!"
Stacy Sumrs righteously wrapped an arm around her waist, speaking with certainty.
"n, well, they’re all like that, people used to say my eldest grandson liked n, then they said he couldn’t do it, you tell how I could not be worried?"
"Cecilia, you’re young, but a man’s good looks alone aren’t enough, Grandma doesn’t want you to settle for less."
Cecilia’s lips twitched again.
So much sense, I’m speechless.
...
"Girls should learn so things too, hold on to this, it’s normal between husband and wife."
Stacy Sumrs decisively closed the box and stuffed it into Cecilia Vaughn’s arms.
"My dear Cecilia, you don’t really want Adrian to stay this aloof, do you? Grandma still wants a grandchild, a granddaughter would be great too, two would be best, Grandma has been dreaming for decades!"
Stacy Sumrs blinked her eyes, and despite being a seventy-sothing-year-old lady acting cute, Cecilia Vaughn didn’t feel awkward at all, and couldn’t resist the hopeful look in the old lady’s eyes.
If I refuse, why do I feel so guilty?
Cecilia blushed, being naturally thin-skinned, finally she could only agree bashfully.
"Alright then."
Stacy Sumrs was so excited she almost jumped up.
"Good girl Cecilia, whether or not Grandma gets to hold a little one is all up to you."
"..."
Cecilia felt terribly embarrassed.
She sohow got tricked into this!
...
After Adrian Law loaded the bags into the trunk, Cecilia Vaughn still held on to the big red box and wouldn’t let go.
"Doesn’t this need to go in the back?"
Thinking about those "enhancent" items inside, Cecilia Vaughn’s heart fluttered, and her hands were sweaty.
This guilty conscience!
"No... it doesn’t!"
The man raised an eyebrow slightly, a bit surprised seeing the girl’s face turn redder and redder.
In the end, Adrian Law didn’t ask further, and simply drove back to Starfall Bay.
Cecilia Vaughn felt that the big red box was a hot potato; as soon as she got ho, she imdiately asked Adrian Law to move things in.
Like a thief, she dashed up the stairs and put the box at the bottom of a closet in the dressing room.
—Amitabha, better let them never see the light of day.
Though she broke her promise to the old lady, Cecilia Vaughn really didn’t dare to use it!
...
Before she knew it, the weekend had arrived.
As planned, Cecilia Vaughn went with Adrian Law to Veridia’s countryside to visit Grandma Joan Sinclair.
Though this was a small place, as a Riverdell water town, it had a unique charm and was quite a famous ancient town.
Joan Sinclair was a teacher at a local middle school, there’s a saying that divorced won in small towns are gossiped about, but Joan Sinclair was different, she was well-rated for her teaching.
Not having seen Grandma in three years, Cecilia Vaughn was honestly anxious.
She even didn’t know what reason to give for those three years, fearing she would worry.
...
Arriving at the Riverdell courtyard where Joan Sinclair lived, Cecilia Vaughn realized the lonely figure standing in the wind was so familiar.
Grandma had grown much thinner...
Her eyes brimd with tears, and she cried right then and there.
"Grandma!"
The woman in the courtyard was stunned and quickly ca out to et her.
Though in her sixties, Joan Sinclair still wore a white Chinese-style dress, standing elegantly.
"Cecilia, is it really you..."
The grandmother and granddaughter embraced each other right away, and soon both of them were crying.
"You girl, not visiting for three years, do you know how sad Grandma was?"
"Grandma, I’m sorry."
Cecilia Vaughn wiped her tears; it wasn’t that she didn’t want to visit, but the prison wouldn’t let her.
...
Adrian Law felt moved watching them embrace, and he coughed lightly.
"Grandma, hello."
The two finally parted, and to be honest, Joan Sinclair had been too focused on Cecilia Vaughn to notice there was a man by her side.
When she got a good look at his handso face, Joan Sinclair was taken aback.
The man was strikingly handso, tall, and with a distinguished air, clearly not an ordinary family background.
...
Joan Sinclair hesitantly glanced at Cecilia Vaughn.
"Cecilia, who is this gentleman?"
Cecilia blushed prettily, shyly pulling Adrian Law’s hand, speaking earnestly.
"Grandma, he is my husband, Adrian Law."
"Cecilia, you’re married?!"
Joan Sinclair’s mouth dropped open in shock, and hearing Adrian Law’s na, she was even more startled.
"Wait, Adrian Law?"
"The Crown Prince of the Law Family, Tyson’s half-brother?"
Realizing this complicated relation, Joan Sinclair’s gaze at Adrian Law suddenly turned wary, and she quickly pulled the girl aside.
"Cecilia, what’s going on? You mustn’t be fooled, hasn’t the Second Young Master Law deceived you enough?"
Cecilia Vaughn knew Grandma was worried.
"Grandma, Adrian isn’t that kind of person, we’ve already registered, it’s definitely not a joke."
"..."
Joan Sinclair was silent for a mont, while Adrian Law conscientiously took out several prepared gift bags.
"Grandma, I know you might be biased against initially, and I don’t bla you. You have high blood pressure, so Cecilia and I picked out so health supplents for you."
Joan Sinclair’s expression softened and she finally spoke coldly.
"Alright, let’s talk inside, don’t let others laugh at us."
Faced with this cold reception, Adrian Law didn’t get upset, holding Cecilia Vaughn’s hand, he led her inside.
...
Inside, Cecilia Vaughn wanted to close the distance between the two, but Joan Sinclair kept a stern face, leaving her efforts in vain.
Adrian Law, understanding that patience is a virtue, took the initiative to offer to cook at dinner ti.
Joan Sinclair skeptically eyed his suit.
"Can you manage?"
"How about this, there’s a lantern festival in the ancient town tonight, why don’t you and Cecilia go have a look, I’ll have dinner ready when you return."
After thinking for a mont, Adrian Law knew it couldn’t be rushed, so he took Cecilia Vaughn out.
...
"Adrian, my grandma’s not deliberately making things difficult for you, she’s just..."
Cecilia Vaughn was a bit uneasy, fearing Adrian might be angry.
The man raised an eyebrow with a gentle smile, warmly holding her hand.
"I understand, you don’t need to explain, Cecilia, let’s go see the lantern festival."
...
Dusk fell, and the lanterns began to glow.
The lantern festival in Veridia’s ancient town was famous, and it was packed with people.
Just then, a group of people in ancient costus passed by on palanquins, and Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law were suddenly separated by the crowd!
With everyone shoulder to shoulder, Cecilia Vaughn was swept away by the flow of people.
She wanted to call out Adrian’s na, but before she could, soone tapped her shoulder gently, a soft and gentle voice spoke.
"Sister, is it really you? Are you here to see the lanterns too?"
