Chapter 606: 606: Cannot Have Nothing
Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!
Morgan called them Mom and Dad, without needing any further explanation.
He called them so proudly and naturally.
Under the fatherâs column, it was his name.
Adrian Zhekovaâs full name was printed right there.
Back at the family mansion, Morgan had rarely left Adrianâs side.
He called him Dad over and over, his voice crisp and sweet.
It was almost as if he wanted to roll around on Adrianâs leg, making it difficult for Adrian to leave him at the family mansion.
Tonight was the night their family of three became a real family.
For Morgan, it was also very important.
Now, after Morgan had gone to bed, the little guy thought about it and laughed under the covers with a âhehehe.â
Everything felt different.
In the past, even though he knew Adrian was his dad, his real dad.
There was always a sense of being a guest.
But now, this was really his home.
âLook at your silly face,â Adrian couldnât help but tease.
But after teasing, he couldnât help but laugh as well.
âGo to sleep,â Adrian said again.
Morgan laughed again, covering himself with the blanket and giggling âhehehe.â
Helplessly, Cindy had to tear open a pack of Child Steam Eye Mask for him to wear.
The faint scent of chamomile and the warmth from the eye mask gently warmed the little oneâs eyelids.
In a short while, the little guy fell asleep, his eyelids soothed by the soft warmth and fragrance.
Only then did Cindy and Adrian leave Morganâs bedroom, but Adrian didnât immediately head to their own bedroom.
Instead, he led Cindy to the living room, as if it was her first time there, and showed her around carefully.
Cindy looked at Adrian with confusion.
Adrian finally stopped, looking down at Cindy with a slightly lowered voice, âWelcome home.â
âBefore, when you were here, you were staying as my girlfriend or fiancee. I imagine it must have felt a bit different from a home.â
âBut now, youâre the true lady of the house. This is where we will live our married life, and itâs your home.â
Cindy stared blankly, her eyes fixed on Adrian.
She looked up to see his gentle gaze and a faint smile on his face.
She didnât expect this man to be so thoughtful, even noticing such details.
Cindy had always thought that living out of this place meant it was their home.
But it wasnât until tonight that she returned with a brand new identity, as Adrianâs wife, that she found out the feeling was different.
Before, it felt like she was living with Adrian. She wasnât the true lady of the house. She was just Adrianâs girlfriend at best, and at most his fiancee.
Truth be told, whenever she thought about this place, her first reaction was that it was Adrianâs home.
But from now on, that feeling was gone.
If anyone asked her, her first reaction would be, âThis is our home.â
So thatâs what being married felt like.
Things that did not seem to belong to her before suddenly had a sense of belonging.
There was no more distinction between you and me.
As Cindy stared blankly, she saw Adrian smile gently, his voice tenderly saying, âMrs. Zhekova.â
Her cheeks flushed with a faint pink blush.
Then she heard Adrian say, âTomorrow, move all your things from your room to mine.â
Although the two had been staying in the same room for quite some time, Cindyâs belongings were still in her old room, and she hadnât moved into Adrianâs room.
As a result, Adrian always felt that his room was missing something and didnât quite feel like a place where two people lived together.
In plain terms, it was just cohabitation.
But starting tonight, his bedroom would be their master bedroom.
Just the thought of his room being filled with Cindyâs belongings made him feel incredibly satisfied.
Cindy obediently nodded her head, realizing that there was no longer any need to differentiate between his room and her room.
âI never thought weâd get married so soon,â Cindy said softly.
Adrian couldnât help but laugh, âWhy donât I take out the marriage certificate again and take a good look, just to make sure?â
Cindy felt that there was no need for such an exaggeration.
She just thought that everything that had happened in a day was so sudden.
It went from talking about getting married to actually getting married. When they left in the morning, she was still Adrianâs fiancee and girlfriend.
By the time they returned, she had become Adrianâs wife, his true wife.
Today, when they left the house, they were only going to attend a wedding. She never thought about getting a marriage license, as the whole thing was completely unplanned.
When they came back, everything had changed.
In both identity and mindset.
âNow Iâm Mrs. Zhekova, your wife,â Cindy said.
As if she was speaking to Adrian and also muttering to herself for confirmation.
Adrian patiently nodded, âThatâs right.â
âFrom now on, if people see me with you, and theyâre curiousâ¦â
Before Cindy could finish her sentence, Adrian quickly said, âYou can tell them that Iâm your husband and youâre my wife.â
âFrom now on, youâre not a person without a home,â Adrian continued, âYou have a home and a family.â
âIf anyone bullies you, weâre here for you. Iâm here for you, as well as our parents and grandparents,â Adrian said, âWeâll back you up and support you. Come to us if you feel wronged.â
Cindyâs forehead rested against Adrianâs chest, and her heart felt incredibly full.
Adrian led Cindy back to their room, and the two took out their marriage certificates.
The certificates had to be properly stored away.
As Cindy was about to put them away, she heard Adrian ask, âWhere is your camera?â
âItâs in the study,â Cindy replied, âWhy?â
âWe havenât taken our wedding photos yet,â Adrian said.
Cindy was a little lost at Adrianâs train of thought.
Adrian wanted to take the camera out and take wedding photos on their own?
But they had the camera; they didnât even have their wedding attire yet.
âIs it in your desk?â Adrian asked again.
âLetâs go together,â Cindy said, âNext time, you need to find a chance to familiarize yourself with my study.â
âThat way, if you want to find something, you donât have to wait for me and can find it yourself.â Cindy spoke as she led Adrian to the study.
Adrian liked that Cindy didnât hide anything from him.
In Cindyâs eyes, there was nothing worth concealing.
The two were honest enough to search each otherâs mobile phones.
Cindy kept her camera in a cabinet.
As soon as she took it out, she saw that Adrian had brought the marriage certificates with him.
He placed them on the desk.
âWe havenât taken our wedding photos, but the room still feels like itâs missing something,â Adrian said.
âWhen people get married, they hang their wedding photos in the bedroom. We canât have nothing in ours.â Adrian spoke as he busied himself arranging the marriage certificates.
Yes, it was just two marriage certificates.
But Adrian wanted to arrange them beautifully, too.
