Chapter 276: She Really Is Kind-Hearted
Forced to face the man’s deep eyes at a close distance, Faye Turner blinked nervously, with some wicked images of intimacy flashing through her mind.
"I... I’m pregnant." She spoke in a small voice, blushing as she told him, "The doctor said that in the first three months, we can’t..."
"Where’s your mind going?" The man released her wrist, but his hand on her waist remained still, while the other hand teasingly brushed her nose tip.
In a flash, Faye’s cheeks grew even redder, the blush spreading to the roots of her ears.
He continued to look at her unblinkingly, waiting for her to make a gesture. Actually, not only was Faye’s heart beating unevenly, but Adrian Lancaster’s breath was also warm.
The room was so quiet that a pin drop could be heard, and an emotion that was never present before spread between the two of them.
She tried to break free, but he pulled her into his arms with a determined gaze, as if he wouldn’t let her leave without her making a gesture.
So, anxious and with her heart racing, Faye quickly stood on tiptoe and took the initiative to gently kiss his lips.
This was an action that took Adrian Lancaster by surprise.
He froze as well.
Faye didn’t have much experience with kissing, and after abruptly kissing him, she froze too.
This kiss lasted for five seconds.
Just as Adrian Lancaster was planning to respond to the kiss, she suddenly let go of him, "You quickly go take a shower, I’ll go check the study."
Before the words were fully spoken, she turned around and fled, her figure quickly disappearing at the doorway.
Gently closing the bedroom door, she left Adrian Lancaster standing there in a daze, with a lingering warmth on his cool lips.
Faye turned and hid in the study, her heart still not calm for a while. Because she didn’t want to widen the distance between them, she didn’t dare to be too presumptuous.
But this guy never says clearly what he wants.
Whenever she’s with him, her mind goes blank, so Faye never knows what he’s thinking.
However, he agreed to let her mother come over for the birthday, so Faye was especially happy!
No matter how awkward it was earlier, she took out her phone and called Chloe Gable, "Hey, mom, what are you doing?"
"Faye, I just finished eating, and I’m getting ready to do the laundry." Chloe Gable’s voice was gentle and soft.
It wasn’t hard to see that she truly had a kind nature.
"Tomorrow’s your birthday. Come over to our place for dinner in the afternoon?" Faye said cheerfully, "Adrian said he’d make some of your favorite dishes to celebrate your birthday."
Hearing this, Chloe Gable was deeply touched and quite happy.
But she was very thoughtful, "Faye, it’s just a birthday, no need to trouble you both. You’re both quite busy with work. I appreciate the thought."
Faye knew she genuinely didn’t want to impose on her marriage.
"Mom, please don’t refuse." The girl was somewhat saddened, "When I was little, I caused you so much trouble, and you worked hard to raise me. Now, although I’m married and have my own little family, you’re still my mother. If you keep your distance from me, I’ll be really upset."
Under her daughter’s persuasion, Chloe Gable reluctantly agreed, "Alright, alright, I promise you."
Only then did Faye finally feel relieved, "Then I’ll come pick you up tomorrow afternoon. Just keep your phone on and charged."
"Alright."
At that moment, Adrian Lancaster was taking a shower in the bathroom, his silhouette appearing so delicate and fair in the steamy water and warm yellow light.
He truly was the type who looks slim in clothes and fit without.
Seeing his fully healed left arm, he couldn’t help but think of her... warmth filled his heart with a long-lost sincerity.
After finishing the call, Faye used her phone memo to write a menu. She remembered what foods her mom liked...
