Chapter 819: Driven Away by His Anger _1

Therefore, whether Gabriel Zhekova likes her or not is no longer important, Cindy Clarke didn’t need to care.

Moreover, why should Cindy care for the respect of a man who was always eyeing the position of Family Head, Maverick Zhekova.

Not being enemies is already considering both’s familial relationships.

“Uncle Adrian, Aunt Cindy.” As soon as they walked in, Gabriel Zhekova greeted.

Mila Harrison followed and greeted the same way.

Ethan Zhekova on the side called out: “Grandfather Adrian, Grandmother Cindy, Uncle, Aunt, third uncle, third aunt.”

Ethan Zhekova called out each one of them.

Mila Harrison then looked at Cindy Clarke with a smile: “So this is Morgan’s wife, my great niece-in-law, right?”

Having heard what Aria Evans had previously said, Cindy hadn’t expected Mila Harrison to have such a smiling demeanor.

She seemed quite easy to get along with.

But not knowing much about her, it’s not good to judge immediately.

“Aunt Evans.” Cindy greeted.

Mila Harrison responded with a smiling nod, then seeing Morgan, she asked: “Is this your child with Morgan?”

The little boy walked over and obediently called out, “Grandmother.”

“What a good child, so handsome.” Mila Harrison praised.

Anyone who complimented the little one for being handsome, the little boy felt they had good judgment, and would unashamedly accept the praises.

There were really very few people who didn’t like the little boy when they met him.

Mila Harrison looked at Adrian Zhekova and then at the little boy, saying, “Just by looking it’s clear they are father and son. They look so much alike, as if they were made from the same mold.”

The little boy curiously looked at Adrian Zhekova, the elders all said so, but he didn’t feel he looked so much like Adrian Zhekova.

Mila Harrison smiled and said, “Your father has grown up now, he’s an adult, and his facial features have fully developed, so it doesn’t look much like you. But when he was little, he looked just like you.”

“If you don’t believe me, just get out your dad’s childhood photos and you’ll see.”

The little guy immediately looked at Cindy and said, “Cindy, we haven’t seen dad’s photos yet.”

Cindy also realized this.

Indeed, she had been with Adrian Zhekova for such a long time, but she hadn’t even seen his childhood photos.

Not to mention Cindy, even the Old Madam hadn’t thought of this.

Let’s not even talk about Victoria Wheeler.

Victoria Wheeler spends her days trying to compete for favor with the little boy, she wouldn’t focus on her son.

Just as well it was brought up now. Looking at a photo isn’t a big deal, the Old Madam immediately got up and said, “Wait for me. I’ll go get the photos, I didn’t think about it before.”

Upon hearing this, Aunt Evans said to the Old Madam, “Old Madam, I’ll go with you.”

The Old Madam was getting old and her strength was not reliable, especially when she suddenly bent down or climbed, it could be dangerous.

Aunt Evans quickly followed the Old Madam.

Aunt Evans and the Old Madam went to the study together. Photos of the children in the family from when they were young are all kept there.

Aside from one photo of each person displayed, the rest of the photos are stored together.

There was a dedicated cabinet in the study for these photos, organized by Aunt Evans and Butler Howard.

When Aunt Evans opened the wardrobe, she saw neatly stacked paper boxes inside.

There were labels on the boxes, acting as markers.

It clearly indicated whose photos were inside.

One of the boxes had Adrian Zhekova’s name on it.

Aunt Evans took that box down.

Although all the photos were printed on photo paper, a thick stack of them filled an entire large box, which was quite heavy.

Just as Aunt Evans was about to move it, Butler Howard came in.

Seeing him, Aunt Evans hurriedly waved him over: “Just in time, come and help me move this down.”@@novelbin@@

Then Butler Howard came over and said to the Old Madam: “Old Madam, you go back to the living room first. Aunt Evans and I will bring the box.”

“Okay.” The Old Madam nodded and went back to the living room first.

Aunt Evans and Butler Howard then moved the box down together.

“Give it to me.” Butler Howard said to Aunt Evans.

Butler Howard was strong and managed to carry the box by himself.

Once Aunt Evans let go, she and Butler Howard brought the box back to the living room together.

The Old Madam then called Victoria Wheeler: “Come and help me, let’s look for Adrian’s childhood photos. Find the ones when he was about four or five years old, around the same age as Morgan.”

Victoria Wheeler and Maverick Zhekova were also assigned tasks.

Even Adrian Zhekova and Cindy were each given a stack of albums to look through.

Actually, it was quite simple, all they had to do was open it and see the age in the photo, they could identity it in a few seconds, at the speed of flipping through an album.

But Cindy looked slowly.

Because the photos of Adrian Zhekova’s childhood were all unfamiliar to her.

So, while looking, Cindy also took the opportunity to look at pictures of Adrian Zhekova at different ages.

Unexpectedly, in the first album she found photos of Adrian Zhekova from college, and she didn’t want to let go of them.

She whispered to Adrian Zhekova, “Actually, I’ve always regretted not knowing you earlier, and not being able to see your youthful appearance.”

Cindy’s fingertips gently swept across the photo.

Gently touching the face of Adrian Zhekova in the photo.

“Although you were already a young man in college, I wanted to see you at that time,” Cindy said.

“I wanted to see your youthful naivety during your college days,” Cindy smiled.

Most of these photos were of Adrian Zhekova and Zane Hamilton and others taken together.

There were photos of the eight of them together.

And also individually paired photos.

During their college days, there were backdrops of the basketball court, the football field, and images of them skiing on the snow-capped mountain.

The young people, high-spirited.

The collagen on their faces was still full.

Due to their youth, even if they were thin, their face shape didn’t seem as thin as now, and wasn’t as serious and resolute as now.

Back then, Adrian Zhekova was filled with sunshine.

Standing with his friends, he could flash a big white-toothed smile even when he laughed.

“That’s so good.” Cindy spoke with both envy and regret, “I wish I had met you then.”

“Don’t even mention it, he had such a bad temper then.” The Old Madam said, “If you had met him earlier, wouldn’t he have made you mad to death?”

“By then, you would have already been annoyed by him,” the Old Madam thought, thank goodness Cindy and Adrian Zhekova hadn’t met so early.

Otherwise, if Cindy was annoyed away by Adrian Zhekova, where will Adrian Zhekova find another wife?

Cindy: “…”

“Even if we had met back then, I wouldn’t be able to talk to Adrian. We didn’t know each other, and we were people from two different worlds, there was no chance of recognition.” Cindy said.

“I just thought that if I had seen him earlier, it would have been enough to just watch him from a distance,” Cindy murmured.

“I didn’t want to know him, I just wanted to see him with my own eyes, to see his then lively look.”
