Frank saw that her complexion was rosy, and she seemed to have a good sleep, yet he had insomnia the entire night. He immediately asked unhappily, âWhy did you sleep in the guest room last night?â
âOh, about that, I was afraid of waking you up,â Yuna replied matter-of-factly. For Frankâs sake, she had been very conscientious with all her actions. She was very considerate.
âMove back tonight. You are not allowed to sleep anywhere else from now on!â Frank gave her a stern look and left after saying these words.
What a strange character, Yuna wailed in her heart. Crescent Villa was so big that she could not even sleep in one of the guest rooms. He insisted on sharing a bed with her.
In the end, Frank was cold the entire afternoon. He did not say a single word during lunch.
In this quiet atmosphere, Yuna finished her lunch diligently. Just as she was about to head out to Starbridge Entertainment to talk to Meng Hu about getting resources, Frank stopped her with a sullen face. âCome with me to see my father later.â
Was she going to meet his parents? Yuna felt that this was very sudden and rejected him. âI have something to do in the afternoon. You didnât tell me in advance. Letâs do it another day.â
âYouâre not allowed to go. Cancel it!â
âIâ¦â
Yuna was very displeased with Frankâs sudden interference. Just as she was about to argue, she heard Frank coldly say, âThe wedding is next Monday, arenât you going?â
It was only two or three days before the wedding. Getting married is a significant event in life. Although Yuna had chosen to be a superficial couple, she should fulfill her obligations, such as meeting the parents together.
Thus, Yuna has no choice but to decline the afternoonâs appointment and reluctantly get into Frankâs car.
Yuna wasnât wearing any makeup. She tied her hair behind her ears, and she wore a cotton hemp dress that was in the style of a girl-next-door. She looked very plain. Yuna was at a loss for words, and she looked at the stern-looking Frank. She could not help but ask, âIs this okay for me? Am I too casual? Why donât I go back and change my clothes?â
Frank turned his head to look at her. He nodded slightly and continued to close his eyes to rest.
Hence, Yuna calmed herself down. She was merely accompanying Frank to put on a show, it was not like she was meeting her parents, so there was no need to be too nervous.
When the car stopped by a lake, Yuna realized that they had arrived at the lakeside manor of Frankâs father, the old Master, Adam Yo.
When Frank alighted from the car, he held Yunaâs waist with one hand and brought her into the manor.
Yunaâs intimacy with Frank was a little stiff for a moment, but when she recalled Frankâs reminder, she adjusted her expression and leaned against Frank.
Adam Yoâs butler had been waiting at the door for a long while. When he saw the two of them arrive, he bowed and said, âYoung Master, Miss Xiao, the Master is waiting for you in the study.â
âUh-huh, thank you, Uncle Lin.â The butler had worked and followed Adam for decades. Even Frank was very respectful to him.
When they walked up the stairs, Frank suddenly held her hand and said, âCome, be careful of the stairs.â
His attitude change quite a lot. For the past few days, they lived under the same roof and were courteous towards each other. However, Frank did not pamper her as he did today. Yunaâs eyes darkened slightly as she obediently allowed Frank to lead her up to the second floor.
When she entered the Study and saw a middle-aged man who looked seventy percent alike with Frank, Yuna was a little surprised.
Adam dressed in a Tang suit, his white hair neatly combed, and his face was calm. However, he was sitting in a wheelchair, and a servant behind him attended to him.
Adam Yo, who was once an influential figure in the business world, was so weak right now that he needed to sit in a wheelchair?
âFather, Iâve brought Yuna to see you,â Frank entered the room and said respectfully.
Yuna hurriedly greeted, âHello, Uncle.â
Adam smiled kindly. âIâve finally met you. Frank has often mentioned you to me.â
âFather, sheâs always busy. She came as sheâs free right now.â
She had only been married to Frank for a few days, so why would Frank often mention her to his father? Yuna found it a little strange.
âYou must be tired from acting recently, right? You must take care and rest well.â Adam looked at Yuna gently and said with concern.
Although Yuna did not understand, she answered, âYes, the task is crucial, thank you for your kind concern, Uncle.â
âThe wedding will be held next Monday, right? Cough, cough.â Adam coughed a few times. The servant pushing the wheelchair helped stroke him.
âYes, father, you should rest well now. Please take care.â Frank pursed his lips and wanted to step forward to help, but he stopped and stood beside Yuna.
âIâm relieved that you two can be happy. Itâs fine, Iâ¦â Adamâs voice began to weaken after a few words, and part of his eyes lost their luster.
Frank immediately said, âFather, you should rest. Your health is important.â
Adam gradually fell asleep and was pushed into the bedroom by the maid.
Frank and Yuna were the only ones left in the Study, Yuna was still unable to accept the situation just now and wanted to ask about it, but she did not know how to start..
