Chapter 489: You Hurt Me
Being held tightly by the man, Cecilia Vaughn was completely softened into a puddle after this round of tossing.
Her gaze was somewhat unfocused, pupils narrowed, and when she saw the mischievous laughter in Adrian Law’s eyes, Cecilia truly had an impulse to slap him dead.
...
"Who are you? I don’t like you..."
Cecilia said sulkily words that even she didn’t believe.
Never thought she’d become so childish, she must have been led astray by Adrian Law, her intelligence also seemed to decline.
Almost unable to seriously think of a correct answer.
...
"Do you really not like me?"
Adrian Law effortlessly extended his long arms to bring back the girl trying to sneak out of his embrace.
"Answer wrong and there’s punishment."
Adrian Law’s eyes held a lazy smile, like a leopard that finally got its fill, seemingly leisurely, yet beneath that slim and strong physique, hid countless dangers.
Cecilia’s slender waist was captured by the other party, the two stuck together seamlessly, long hair like ink, dipped into the water, mingling with the indoor mist.
Feeling the dangerous signals that Adrian Law was about to burst with, Cecilia finally relented, twisting her body slightly with discomfort.
"Release my hand, you’re hurting me."
Cecilia raised her eyes begrudgingly, the corner of her eyes soaked in a faint red, she was truly a bit exhausted, didn’t even want to move a finger, could only lie on Adrian Law’s shoulder and breathe lightly.
"Does it really hurt?"
Adrian Law was stunned, seeing Cecilia relying like a little beast in his arms, the endless greed in his heart seemed to be suppressed for a moment.
She always had a way to cure him.
Adrian Law smiled helplessly, even though every fiber in his being still clamored for the woman before him, his actions softened, his head lowered softly without any distracting thoughts, gently kissing Cecilia’s forehead.
Then he extended his hand, lifting Cecilia’s palm, kissing it seriously.
"Cecilia, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have scared you, I apologize to you, okay?"
Adrian Law actually wasn’t skilled at coaxing people, before Cecilia, hadn’t any experience in coaxing girls, could only use the clumsiest methods to express his cherished affection.
Cecilia didn’t expect Adrian Law would really listen to her, she still remembered how Adrian used to be like a ravenous wolf after a week of starvation, endlessly searching, how come today instead...
Though she was indeed tired...
Cecilia blinked incredulously, all strength gone from her, obediently letting Adrian hold her, though her chin lifted like a queen, full of suspicion, scrutinizing him.
"When did you become... so restrained?"
Cecilia held back for a long time, finally thinking of a word barely suitable for the situation, though she blushed deeply as soon as she said it.
...
Adrian Law looked at her smiling, lightly sucking on Cecilia’s neck.
"Silly Cecilia, did you forget what the doctor said last time at Stellerton hospital?"
Cecilia paused a moment before reacting to what Adrian was referring to.
Recalling that last time at the obstetrics and gynecology specialist registration with Adrian, she blushed so much that her toe almost erupted with rose powder.
"Don’t ever mention that again!"
Even though the person was a consultation expert two rounds older than Cecilia, also female, Cecilia was terribly embarrassed.
It was too humiliating!
During that time, the doctor even reprimanded Adrian Law and her... ahem...
...
Past cannot be pursued, Cecilia bit her lip corner, after resting for a while, finally somewhat restored some energy, she very proudly gave Adrian a sideways glance.
"I don’t care, I want to eat soup dumplings, you go buy them for me."
"Soup dumplings late at night? Are you sure?"
Adrian Law paused, looking at Cecilia with doubt, even proactively extended his arm, touching Cecilia’s forehead to check.
"No fever..."
...
"It’s not that you can’t eat soup dumplings in the morning!"
Cecilia puffed her cheeks glaring at him, then intentionally splashed a large amount of water onto Adrian Law’s face.
Adrian wasn’t offended, instead the corner of his mouth held a faint smile, letting Cecilia mess around.
"Alright alright, as long as you don’t mind the soup dumplings on Isle Circlet here are all sweetened, oh, and quite greasy, seems someone’s diet plan is going down the drain again..."
Sweetened soup dumplings...
Greasy...
Dieting...
These few shocking bolts of thunder struck down, leaving Cecilia dazed.
She thought about since living with Adrian Law at Starfall Bay, she who always boasted the eternal skinny body, no matter how much she ate she didn’t gain weight, her weight had changed unlike the past twenty years, shooting up.
"It’s all your fault, wasn’t it your superb cooking skills causing me to gain weight..."
Cecilia didn’t dare recall the numbers on the home scale from a few days ago.
If people knew she had gained a dozen pounds in these short months with Adrian Law, Mona Summers would likely laugh first.
Mona always envied her eating-without-gaining physique before, now, everything was nullified.
...
Seeing Cecilia’s distressed heart, Adrian Law very affectionately wrapped around Cecilia’s waist, deliberately speaking reverse words to frighten her.
"Alright, how about you take charge of the family’s three meals a day, or invite Aunt Sawyer to cook for us daily too."
"No!"
Cecilia almost instinctively stood up to oppose, forgetting this was a shell-shaped bathtub, she nearly knocked her head, fortunately Adrian’s quick eyes and swift hands pulled her.
Her cooking skills were how bad, how lazy in the kitchen no need to say, if truly hired Aunt Sawyer to turn private chef, meeting her daily at Starfall Bay, wouldn’t the atmosphere be so strange?
Before was merely a weekly thorough cleaning by Aunt Sawyer, but if every day face to face, Cecilia felt she’d lose all personal space.
...
Understanding the key within, Cecilia dared not act up again, she pitifully tugged on Adrian’s sleeve acting cute.
"Mr. Law is the best, your meals are the tastiest."
"Lazy bug."
Adrian shook his head with a sigh, but his eyes held unknowing indulgence.
"I’ll first carry you to dry off."
"Forget the soup dumplings, previously there was pumpkin millet porridge sold downstairs, lighter and good for the stomach, I’ll pack two portions, you wait a moment."
"Okay."
Cecilia glanced at the man’s departing back, a hint of satisfied smile flickered in her eyes.
Such a husband, what more could one ask for.
...
The next day, dawn had just appeared.
Sage’s Mercy Temple sealed the backyard and mountain paths, preventing others from entering, actually was booked by the crew of "There are branches on the mountain".
Cecilia Vaughn changed into a celestial silk dress, holding Adrian Law’s arm, walking up the steps.
Before entering the mountain gate, they were stopped by an old monk in robes.
"Please stop, could I see the necklace on this lady donor’s neck..."
