Chapter 968: Chapter 968: Just Pretend He’s Gone... However, Summer Sutton, with her perceptive mind, saw right through him almost immediately.
Tentatively, she slowly asked, "He doesn’t want to see me?"
Aside from this reason, Summer Sutton couldn’t think of any other explanation.
Given Adrian Walyon’s character, if he wanted to see her, he couldn’t stand being apart for a day, let alone ten days!
Marshall Quinn didn’t want to admit it, but these words still needed to be said to her.
His silence was his tacit acknowledgment.
Summer’s mind felt as if it had been lightly tapped, left stunned for a while, "Reason?"
Marshall Quinn racked his brains for a long time before hesitantly squeezing out, "The young master just wants to rest by himself for a while."
"Marshall!" Summer’s voice lowered, finding his words quite ridiculous, "He’s already been resting for ten days!"
Marshall was at a loss for words.
"I want to know the real reason." Summer pursued.
Marshall kept his head down and still said nothing.
With him silent, Summer had to rely on her own speculation.
At this moment, the living room TV was broadcasting news related to Shining Sky, featuring Watt Bennet and the Winslow Family.
Summer stared at the people in the TV for a while, her expression instantly stiffening.
"Is this what he calls resting?"
Avoiding her, yet continuing his dealings with Shining Sky every day!
Marshall lowered his head even further.
Summer rubbed her temples and tentatively asked, "Does he want to stay at Shining Sky for a while before coming back?"
Marshall said nothing.
Summer didn’t know if her guess was right, but regardless, Watt didn’t want to see her yet remained in touch with others as usual, which Summer couldn’t comprehend.
It’s not that he doesn’t love her; he could sacrifice his life for her, and his love for her hasn’t diminished a bit compared to the past Adrian Walyon.
Meeting her made it impossible for him to pretend he wasn’t Adrian Walyon any longer.
If that’s the case, then why is he still so distant from her?
"Miss Sutton, don’t be upset. Just pretend he doesn’t exist, do whatever you need to do each day, and just don’t do anything foolish, alright?" Marshall hastily comforted her, fearing she might be disturbed.
Summer glanced at him and nonchalantly retorted, "Don’t worry, I’m not that foolish."
Pausing, she added, "For someone like your young master, it’s not worth it."
"Right, right, for Young Master Bennet, it’s not worth it at all," Marshall quickly echoed her.
Now, he kept things simple; as long as Summer Sutton didn’t act recklessly, everything else could be managed.
The two talked for a while longer, and then Marshall sent Summer Sutton to Royal Delight.
Watt didn’t want Summer to see him, and Summer really didn’t insist on going after that.
Actually, thinking about it sometimes, she had been a bit stubborn before.
Why insist when he doesn’t want to see her?
If he wanted to pretend they were strangers, she’d just cooperate with him.
If she and Adrian Walyon kept avoiding each other like this, she wondered who would give in first!
...
After the night by the sea, Summer Sutton’s mind had become much clearer.
Knowing Watt continued going to Shining Sky to manage the company’s affairs daily, indicating his physical condition wasn’t a concern, Summer comfortably continued with her own work.
Every day, she followed Rain Carter in and out of various program recording sites, with her days packed to the brim.
Recently, Rain Carter had been recording a lot of programs. She was the company’s ace, a veteran backstage figure, and many projects required her to be on-site personally for supervision.
As her apprentice, Summer Sutton naturally didn’t have it easy.
