Chapter 516: 516: Desolation

Actually, Adrian Zhekova didn’t want Morgan to interfere with his alone time with Cindy Clarke, right?

The Old Madam was so sure this wasn’t Cindy’s idea.

Cindy was so simple-minded, she couldn’t have thought of such a scheme.

Moreover, just now, Cindy clearly wanted to stay as well.

But this time, the Old Madam decided to support Adrian.

It was a perfect time for the couple, and maybe they could have a great-granddaughter for her in the process.

Looking at Morgan, the Old Madam secretly thought that boys weren’t as sweet once they grew up.

Morgan:

Why did he feel like he was being disliked by Granny?

“Alright.” The Old Madam nodded and said to Morgan, “If you miss your mother, just speak up. Don’t be shy about it. We can either have Cindy come over, or send you back. Both are fine.”

“Okay.” Morgan nodded.

“Great Grandfather, do you have any toys for me at home?” Morgan asked.

Old Master:

“That’s my mistake.” The Old Master immediately said, “I didn’t expect that you would come and stay, so I didn’t buy any. I only prepared a room for you.”

Fearing that Morgan would be unhappy, the Old Master said, “It’s too late tonight. The shopping mall will be closed when we go out. How about we go to the mall together tomorrow and buy toys and decorate your room?”

“Look, you must be tired of the decor in your bedroom at home. Tomorrow we can choose something different and decorate your room here in a different style. Every time you come, you will have a different feeling.” The Old Master gave a thumbs up, “How great!”

He was afraid that Morgan wouldn’t stay the night because there were no toys he liked at home.

So he racked his brain to attract him.

“Come to think of it, I haven’t gone shopping in a long time!” Morgan held his face, his eyes sparkling with anticipation.

Adrian Zhekova:

Why did he, a boy, love shopping so much?

The Old Master immediately said, “Then let’s go together tomorrow?”

“Sure!” Morgan nodded.

As a result, they managed to keep the little guy at the family mansion without any difficulties.

Adrian successfully secured a night of alone time for himself.

In front of Morgan, Adrian had already tried very hard to restrain himself.

But he still couldn’t help but reveal a little bit of happiness.

Morgan was planning to win over his great grandparents and snatch the title of the Zhekova family’s number one treasure.

That’s why he easily agreed to Adrian’s proposal.

At this moment, he was also quite satisfied.

Morgan felt that his dad was so silly.

Once he became the Zhekova family’s most cherished little cuttie,

Adrian would be nothing at all!

With just one word from him, the great grandparents were ready to scold his dad to death!

How wonderful!

As the little guy and Adrian were each thinking about their own plans, they suddenly heard Victoria Wheeler speak up, “I want to stay here too.”

The Maverick Zhekova:

“Victoria, why do you want to stay too?” Maverick wondered why his wife wanted to join the excitement.

“If Morgan stays here, I want to stay too.” Victoria said, “If mom only has eyes for Morgan and forgets about me, what should I do?”

This was too scary!

She absolutely couldn’t let this happen.

Unexpectedly, Victoria inadvertently stumbled upon the truth.

She saw through Morgan’s scheme at once.

Morgan:

“Mom, you can’t just like Morgan more than you like me because he stays here.” Victoria said anxiously, “I don’t care, as long as Morgan stays here, I’ll be here too.”

Old Madam

Maverick Zhekova:

The Old Madam couldn’t help but feel sorry for Victoria, but she really did want to spend more time with Morgan.

Telling Victoria to join in the fun just pushes Morgan towards the old man, doesn’t it?

“Alright, alright, you stay too.” The Old Madam had no choice but to say.

She couldn’t bear to hurt her daughter-in-law’s feelings, or else she wouldn’t be able to handle the consequences.

“Then I have no choice but to stay as well.” Maverick said helplessly.

He didn’t want to go home alone.

How desolate it would be.

Old Madam

So, the whole family returned together and, in the end, only Adrian and Cindy would have to go back to their own home at night.

As they were leaving the family mansion at night, they had just walked out of the Main Hall.

Walking in the courtyard, still a distance away from the mansion’s gate, Adrian had already taken Cindy’s hand.

Morgan was currently being led by the Old Master, drawing plans in the room prepared for him in the family mansion.

The Old Master said that he wanted to design Morgan’s room together with him.

As for Adrian and Cindy walking alone, it didn’t bother Morgan at all.

After walking for a while, Cindy looked back and saw the warm light from the family mansion.

Though she couldn’t hear the sounds, she could still imagine how lively it would be with Morgan inside.

“This is actually the first time Morgan and I have been apart.” Cindy said.

Without Morgan’s chattering and without his soft little hand swaying her from side to side, she was really not used to it.

“We’ll pick him up tomorrow.” Adrian said.

Cindy nodded, got into the car with Adrian.

As Cindy got into the car, she instinctively fastened her seatbelt first.

As soon as the seatbelt clicked into place, Cindy felt a shadow cast over her.

Before she even looked up, she had already smelled the scent of mint on Adrian.

By the time Cindy looked up, Adrian had already trapped her in her seat.

Cindy’s back was pressed tightly against the back of the chair.

Even though she was with this man,

She still couldn’t help but be extremely nervous when he got so close.

Breathing cautiously, she could smell his fresh scent.

Cindy started to worry if her own scent was as pleasant as his.

“Finally, it’s just the two of us, without worrying about Morgan popping up at any moment.” Adrian sighed, completely relaxing.

Even his voice carried a lazy raspiness.

This husky voice left Cindy feeling hazy, a sensation of wanting to curl up in her warm bed right now.

Subconsciously, she wanted to snuggle into his arms, finding a warm, comfortable spot.

Yet as soon as she moved forward, she was pulled back by the seatbelt.

Cindy:

A magnetic, low chuckle suddenly came from Adrian above her head.

The low, “Hehehehe” laughter seemed to carry magnetism, landing on Cindy’s forehead and seemingly her throat as well.

Cindy’s flushed ears twitched.

Then she heard Adrian say, “You can’t move, so shall I come to you?”

Cindy felt that he was driving, but she had no evidence.

Even though they were sitting in the car at the moment.

As Cindy looked up, intending to ask him what he was planning,

His lips were already on hers the moment she lifted her head.

A while later, Adrian finally let her go.

Only then did Cindy realize the convenience of not having Morgan around.

So she could be so unrestrained.
