“No, no.” Cindy hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean it like that.”

Cindy cupped Adrian Zhekova’s face with both hands and looked at him intently.

For the first time, she took the initiative without Adrian having to say anything.

She leaned in slightly and kissed him on the lips.

Adrian’s eyes were full of surging emotions.

Cindy’s heart raced nervously: “Get…get up.”

Adrian let her go but laid down on the bed, speaking in a hoarse voice, “You go first, I’ll get up later.”

Cindy, not yet grasping the situation, asked in confusion, “You want to sleep some more?”

Adrian revealed half of his face from the pillow and suddenly pulled Cindy, who had already sat up, back down.

Cindy stiffened as she understood the answer.

Adrian sighed, “This is so hard for me.”

“Then…then…then,” Cindy’s tongue was tied, “You have to try by yourself!”

Adrian:

What was he supposed to try on his own?

Cindy quickly fled the bedroom, her legs trembling.

On Sunday, they stayed home and did not go out.

Cindy took the opportunity to research the cuisine for the next competition.

So on Monday, Cleave Roland arrived on time to pick up Morgan Zhekova.

As this was the first time Cleave was taking Morgan to the nursery, Cindy accompanied them.

As soon as Adrian saw that Cindy was going with them, he said, “I’ll go with you.”

And so, Adrian did not drive his own car.

He got in the car with Cindy and Morgan driven by Cleave Roland.

Because of the child’s age, they needed to sit in the back seat.

So Adrian went to sit in the passenger’s seat.

Leaving the back seat for Cindy and Morgan.

It was the first time Morgan had met Cleave.

Morgan’s little legs dangled over the edge of the seat. Since he’d had milk for breakfast, his breath still smelled like milk when he spoke: “Uncle Cleave, how old are you?”

Cleave glanced back at him through the rearview mirror.

Although Morgan asked the question, his sitting posture looked well-behaved and deceptive.

Cleave was one of those deceived by Morgan’s well-behaved appearance.

It was because today was also Cleave’s first time meeting Morgan that he was completely unfamiliar with him.

Without any apprehension, Cleave said, “I’m 26 this year.”

“When I was 20, I started working as a driver for Master Adrian, and it’s been six years now,” Cleave introduced himself with a smile.

Although being a driver might not earn Cleave much respect when he introduced his profession, he, like Sheldon Rowland, had been with Adrian for a long time and had met many prominent business and political figures through him.

When Adrian discussed the current situation with them, Cleave often listened in.

Sometimes when he didn’t catch something, Sheldon would explain it to him.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Having been with Adrian for a long time, even without systematic and professional training from an institution, the practical experience gained in Adrian’s company was far more useful than just learning from books.

Under Adrian’s influence, Cleave had developed not-so-common insights and a keen eye for things.

After all, it was tantamount to one-on-one guidance from Adrian.

Even top students from prestigious schools did not have as many opportunities to receive guidance from financial magnates as Cleave did, let alone one-on-one tutoring from Adrian.

Add to that occasional exchanges with Sheldon Rowland, and even in situations where Cleave was uncertain, following Sheldon’s lead meant he couldn’t go wrong.

As a result, over the years, he had made a considerable amount of money through investments.
