Chapter 476: A Passionate Kiss in Public
In Rosalind White’s clean and beautiful eyes, there was an expression of disbelief, a look that was not feigned but seemed genuinely shocked.
Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but furrow her elegant brows, also staring in a daze at Adrian Law.
"Adrian, did you ever say such a thing?"
It’s just about not wearing red, which is quite normal for a man. According to Veridian men’s habits, most wouldn’t like bright colors.
But seeing the stunned look on Rosalind White’s face, combined with the quite shocked expression that Stacy Summers had outside the gate earlier, Cecilia suddenly felt that behind this color, there might be something else.
...
At this thought, Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t help but feel a slight twinge in her heart.
She tugged at Adrian’s hand, her originally bright almond eyes also dimmed.
"Adrian, if you don’t like it, you can actually tell me, you know. I won’t be so stubborn as to force you to do something you don’t love."
Adrian Law gazed at her deeply, gently brushing Cecilia Vaughn’s hair with his hand.
"Cecilia, it’s all right, it’s just a small matter."
If it were really a small matter, Rosalind White and the Matriarch of the Law Family wouldn’t be so startled!
...
Cecilia Vaughn pursed her lips, her expression turning a bit somber.
When you fall in love with someone, you realize how petty and unreasonable you can become.
Even though she knew Adrian Law wore the red scarf for her, she had no idea what lay behind it.
It was only now that Cecilia realized she was just a simple girl, not wanting Adrian Law to have too many secrets from her.
Especially since both Rosalind White and Stacy Summers knew, yet Adrian Law kept it hidden from her.
This feeling of being excluded was truly unbearable.
...
Seeing Cecilia Vaughn’s despondent look, a deep jealousy flashed in Rosalind White’s eyes.
"Sister-in-law, so it was you who made Adrian wear it. I never thought Adrian would break his taboo for you..."
"But it seems, sister-in-law, you don’t know how Adrian’s taboo came about, do you? Adrian, why don’t you tell her?"
Striking where it hurts, Rosalind White naturally saw what Cecilia Vaughn was sensitive about. Unhappy herself, she wanted Cecilia to feel even worse.
Cecilia turned her head, capturing exactly the jealousy in the other’s eyes.
Seeing Adrian about to speak, Cecilia reached out and touched the front of Adrian’s lips.
She gazed deeply into Adrian’s eyes, a difficult-to-describe gleam in her expression.
"Adrian, I know that if you want to tell me, you will at any time, right?"
Adrian Law didn’t expect Cecilia Vaughn to respond this way.
He gazed intently at Cecilia, and soon he saw his young wife adjust her expression, pinching his arm, countering Rosalind White with the air of a spoiled child.
"Of course. Everyone has their little taboos; it’s nothing unusual. But Miss White, a secret is a secret, and Adrian is my husband, so naturally, he should pamper me, right?"
From Rosalind White’s angle, she could clearly see the pinch Cecilia gave Adrian.
What gave this woman the right to pinch Adrian, and why didn’t Adrian stop her!
Rosalind White’s expression was about to crack, and with Stacy Summers present, she felt even more aggrieved but could only reluctantly agree.
"Yes... yes."
...
Seeing Rosalind White’s reluctant acquiescence, Cecilia felt delighted and cheekily complimented Stacy Summers.
"Grandma, it must be you who taught Adrian so well, right?"
Stacy Summers was experienced and could see through the little storm between Cecilia Vaughn and Rosalind White.
But Stacy Summers was sensible enough not to side with Rosalind just because she grew up watching her. The issue wasn’t caused by Cecilia, so now seeing Cecilia’s coquettish demeanor, Stacy Summers laughed.
"You girl, why don’t I usually hear you with such a sweet mouth?"
"But you’re wrong about that. Adrian was always cold to everyone, and I used to worry he wouldn’t find a wife, let alone pamper one. It shows that these changes are natural to him, or maybe he changed for you."
The elder intended to ease Cecilia Vaughn’s mind.
With this encouragement, Cecilia’s expression calmed significantly, and feeling a bit shy, she released Adrian’s arm.
She had pinched Adrian just now, but the man beside her remained relaxed, not furrowing his brow even slightly.
As if he was letting her mess with him.
Yet this man was not one to be trifled with.
...
Thinking of Adrian Law’s cunning side, Cecilia felt both frustrated and sweet. She looked up, her eyes clear as she gazed at Adrian.
"Adrian, is that so? Did you change for me?"
Adrian Law chuckled softly. Even with Rosalind White and Stacy Summers present, he seemed not to notice and indulgently pinched Cecilia Vaughn’s nose.
"Yes, are you satisfied now, Mrs. Law?"
Cecilia felt a wave of sweetness, unable to contain her joy. She tiptoed, using the table to kiss the man’s jawline.
Adrian was slightly startled, not expecting Cecilia to be so bold in front of others.
But before he could savor the kiss, Cecilia quickly retreated, sitting back down in her wooden chair with flushed cheeks.
"I embarrassed you, Grandma."
"Oh dear, am I witnessing a private moment?"
Stacy Summers teased Cecilia Vaughn with a gleeful expression.
Just as Cecilia was about to reply, Adrian Law suddenly bent down, gently cradling Cecilia’s head.
"Grandma, you got it wrong. Cecilia’s displays of affection are still too restrained."
Cecilia froze, her pupils constricting, as the man’s lips captured hers directly.
It was a dragonfly-brief kiss, different from her light peck on his jaw, lingering on her lips with gentle insistence.
Cecilia’s lips, already rosy, became as captivating as dewy roses after Adrian’s kiss.
"You—"
This was a passionate kiss in front of the elders!
Something snapped in her mind.
"Cecilia, I’m just learning from you,"
Adrian joked as he looked at her, his handsome features elegant despite his playful actions.
...
As Adrian spoke, he glanced at Rosalind White, his expression frank and open, yet a hint of mockery quickly flitted across his eyes.
Rosalind White’s expression was about to break; she couldn’t stand seeing Cecilia Vaughn and Adrian Law so harmonious and in sync. Even the sumptuous feast before her couldn’t whet her appetite.
"Adrian, Grandma, you continue eating. I’m going upstairs."
