Chapter 275: I Thought It Was a Big Deal
She clutched her wildly beating heart and turned towards the bathroom.
The bathroom was large, with separate wet and dry areas, and a big bathtub.
Even the lighting automatically adjusted according to the ambience, and the floor had anti-slip mats, such thoughtful details moved Faye Turner.
Could this all be Grandpa’s idea? None of it his?
Soon, the sound of rushing water echoed in the bathroom, and amidst the mist, her skin appeared milky white, smooth and delicate, virtually poreless.
Her long lashes were damp with mist, thick and black.
Faye couldn’t quite grasp what she was thinking, her thoughts wandered, feeling that this was all quite unreal.
An impromptu marriage to a wealthy tycoon, and so young and good-looking?
Unbelievable!
Is this some blessing from a past life’s good deeds?
Except for the lack of love, everything else was quite nice, life could go on.
She finished her bath and came out, wearing a long-sleeved cotton nightgown, pink and tender, appearing in Adrian Lancaster’s view.
The moment he looked up and saw her, that pretty face untouched by makeup, for a second made his heart skip a beat.
Faye took a step towards him, Adrian Lancaster collected his thoughts, maintaining his usual calm demeanor.
"Adrian." She stood in front of him, looking at him sitting on the sofa chair by the window, Faye spoke softly, "Could I ask you for a favor?"
Was she finally going to bring up Rachel Sherman’s matter?
Adrian Lancaster felt a thrill inside but kept a cold exterior, "Go ahead, what’s it about."
His serious demeanor made the girl bite her lip, summoning all her courage to say to him, "It’s my mom’s birthday tomorrow, can I... invite her here for dinner?"
Not about Rachel Sherman?
Adrian Lancaster felt a flicker of disappointment inside. He wanted so much to tell her, silly girl! If you just ask, I’d agree to an exclusive interview!
"The debt of nurture surpasses the debt of birth." Faye didn’t know what he was thinking, but she wanted to fight for it, so she continued emotionally, "I have no other way to repay her."
Watching her cautious and bravely courageous appearance, Adrian Lancaster found it amusing, thinking it wasn’t such a big deal after all.
She looked at him for a long time, waiting for his answer.
Adrian Lancaster hadn’t managed to speak when Faye suddenly felt dejected, "I’m sorry, if it’s inconvenient, consider it presumptuous of me, I’ll take back what I just said."
After saying this, she turned to leave, feeling utmost embarrassment!
Adrian Lancaster raised his hand to catch her slender wrist, pulling her back, Faye turned her gaze in surprise, meeting the man’s deep eyes.
"What does your mom usually like to eat?" the man’s voice was gentle, "Tomorrow morning, write a menu and give it to Mr. Rhodes, he’ll procure the freshest ingredients."
The girl’s eyes sparkled, surprised, then filled with delight, "Thank you!"
Seeing her smile, Adrian Lancaster’s handsome lips curled slightly, he said nothing, just holding her wrist, he stood up.
In the close distance, their gazes converged.
Her chest felt a little warm, her cheeks slightly red, he stepped towards her gradually, eyes intense and warm.
Faye instinctively stepped back, step by step, but her wrist was still held by him.
President Lancaster’s damn overwhelming pressure, her heart clearly skipped erratically, facing his gaze, she clenched her little fists tight.
Adrian Lancaster watched her helpless expression, like looking at a simple little white rabbit, and when she could retreat no further, his other hand suddenly closed around her slim, soft waist!
Startling Faye, her eyes widened, heart pounding faster!
What was he going to do?
"So, how are you going to thank me?" Adrian Lancaster’s thin lips moved lightly, looking at her with great interest.
Stunned silly, she directly replied, "Treat you to some street food?"
Unexpectedly, the man frowned, lacking any interest, shook his head, "No."
