Chapter 301: The Atmosphere in the Car Is a Bit Subtle
From start to finish, Serena Sutton sat in her seat and did not join in the gossip.
Since he married her, why does he treat her this way? Serena Sutton pondered, is the wealthy life really so precarious?
"Alright, alright, no one is allowed to gossip anymore!"
Nancy Jennings feared the situation would escalate, so she issued a strict order—
"Since it’s certain this marriage won’t end, no matter what happens, don’t take sides! Don’t join in the commotion! Just do your work!"
The noisy office gradually quieted down.
In the Lamborghini heading to the hospital, Faye Turner sat in the passenger seat, her thoughts somewhat adrift.
Adrian Lancaster drove the car, his deep gaze occasionally landing on her profile, observing her expression.
He found it truly calm.
Faye Turner actually sensed his gaze, but she didn’t turn her eyes.
Not even a ripple stirred in her heart, she just found his dramatic entrance into the office earlier somewhat laughable.
If it were before, she might have the illusion that he also loved her.
But now... she’s very clear-headed! Very cautious, she wouldn’t dare have such illusions.
At that moment, Adrian Lancaster held her hand, causing her to slightly start and glance over at him!
He intertwined his fingers with hers, with one hand on the steering wheel, looking ahead.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat delicate.
Faye Turner blinked and withdrew her gaze, her fingers several times considered freeing themselves but ultimately, for some reason, compromised.
She let him hold her hand, and a faint emotion unwillingly welled up inside.
"Rachel Sherman’s divorce case definitely needs to be fought, Dylan Shaw won’t agree to divorce amicably." Adrian Lancaster’s lips barely moved as he analyzed for her.
Faye Turner’s heart sank.
In this situation, she wasn’t at all interested in discussing Rachel’s issues with him.
Because her own feelings were tangled like a mess!
Being mocked all over the internet!
Adrian Lancaster didn’t notice her small emotions and continued talking to her, "My lawyer friend will be back in a couple of days; none of the cases he’s taken have ever been lost."
"Mm." Out of politeness, Faye Turner responded lightly.
Being able to help Rachel solve this big problem, she was actually quite grateful in her heart.
Concerning yesterday’s interview incident, Adrian Lancaster wasn’t sure how to bring it up; it troubled and annoyed him more than a project mishap.
Because he’s never encountered this before.
But he knew, since it caused such a stir, he had to explain.
"About that..." So after a while, he tried to speak up again, and turned to gauge her reaction.
Only to see Faye Turner looking ahead, and he halted his words; she didn’t ask anything, her pink lips pressed lightly, still appearing very calm.
He intertwined his fingers with hers; the warmth from their palms exchanged, he slightly increased the force, tightly gripping her hand.
"That’s not what I meant." When the words fell, the car slightly veered right, he lightly stepped on the brakes, and the Lamborghini stopped by the roadside.
Faye Turner turned her eyes again, not feeling joy from his voluntary explanation, "Then what do you mean?" she asked with a heavy heart.
Adrian Lancaster felt awkward being questioned, not being adept at explaining, as he never needed to explain anything to anyone when doing things.
But this time... he felt it very necessary!
"I... I was just very angry at the time, you tricked me using Grandpa’s name." Adrian Lancaster restrained his tone, not blaming her, "Actually... actually, I’m willing to accept the interview, but what angered me was, you really stopped after I refused."
Upon hearing this, Faye Turner was somewhat shocked inside.
"How was I supposed to know you were willing?" She looked at the man’s sculpted features, "I only know what you could casually do could change someone’s destiny, could help Rachel get custody, but your tone was so high, you just weren’t willing."
"..." Adrian Lancaster felt a headache, how to explain this?
He thought for a moment and lightly sighed, "Okay, okay, I was wrong in this matter, I was being stubborn."
Faye Turner just stared at him, her expression calm, but inside she was shocked to the peak.
What?? He was wrong?? He voluntarily apologized?
