"Since we’re here, let’s go inside!" Gripping her hand, he led her into the venue.
Every ti they passed a group of people, he would introduce her, "This is my wife, Sumr Sutton!"
It seed he feared that others at the event might not know about their marriage. Just a few minutes after Sumr Sutton’s arrival, everyone was aware of her identity.
With her appearance, she undoubtedly beca another leading lady of the banquet.
The employees’ discussion grew louder.
They compared her to Lorraine Hughes and even started betting on how many years Sumr Sutton and Adrian Walyon’s future together might last.
Adrian led Sumr to Edward Hughes and Lorraine, and deliberately introduced her again, "Sumr Sutton, my wife!"
His intentions were clear: business was business, strictly professional, with no room for any personal relationship developnt.
Edward nodded in greeting at Sumr, unable to resist taking a closer look at her.
He stared at her for a mont, a bit taken aback.
Sumr didn’t know what caused his montary daze.
Not paying it any mind, she was led by Adrian to greet others.
Tonight, Sumr Sutton seed sowhat absent-minded; images of Adrian standing with Lorraine and the employees’ discussions kept surfacing in her mind.
How many years could she and Adrian Walyon be together?
Sumr gave the question so serious thought.
The answer was, she herself didn’t know.
However, Sumr was well aware of the circumstances under which she married Adrian.
There was no need to be concerned about the question.
Shaking off her thoughts, a smile tugged at her lips. She played along with Adrian, acting as a loving couple in front of others.

Many company employees watched this scene quietly, seemingly a bit stunned.
In such a setting tonight, seeing Sumr Sutton appear, many expected to witness a jealous outburst or for Sumr to quietly leave, feeling inferior in front of soone with Lorraine’s background.
But unexpectedly, instead of causing a scene, the couple affectionately flaunted their relationship in public.
Suddenly, many thought that Young Master Walyon’s new wife might not be easy to deal with.
The position of the Young Madam of the Walyon Family might not be easy for others to attain...
After Sumr arrived, she didn’t stay at the event for long.
She wore too little; her dress was strapless. Even wrapped in Adrian’s jacket, her legs were still bare, and she was terribly cold.
After less than half an hour, she couldn’t take it anymore, her legs trembling.
"Adrian..." She looked at him with pitiful eyes.
Adrian was more than happy to leave the event early with her.
"I’ll warm you up when we get back." He took her hand and left the venue in strides.
As soon as they got in the car and turned on the heater, Sumr Sutton rubbed her frozen legs and feet vigorously.
Adrian quietly watched her for a while. In Sumr’s surprised gaze, he made an unexpected gesture.
He placed her slender calf onto his lap and began to massage it.
