Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

“I want to face it with you.”

“Maybe I can’t help much, but there must be something I can do? Helping even a little is better than nothing.”

“I can’t enjoy all the good things while having nothing to do with the bad ones.”

“We are supposed to face it together, to share in both fortune and misfortune.” Cindy spoke slowly.

“No matter what dangers we will face or how much malice is aimed at us, I don’t want you to stand in front of me. I want to stand by your side, and we will bear it together.”

“If I put you in front while staying safe and sound behind, even adding my own pressure onto you… I…” Cindy lowered her head and whispered, “I would feel heartache.”

“What did you say?” Adrian suddenly grabbed Cindy’s hand.

His heart was beating so fiercely that he could hear it now.

Thump!

Thump!

Thump!

So loud.

“I said I want to face it with you.” Cindy’s gaze drifted, too embarrassed to look at Adrian.

She knew what Adrian wanted to hear, but she was too shy to say it again.

“Not this sentence, the last one.” Adrian slightly tightened his grip on her hand, “That last one, those three words.”

“Didn’t you hear it?” Cindy widened her eyes.

It seemed like he had heard it quite clearly, even knowing it was three words.

“I didn’t hear it clearly, I only knew it was three words. I didn’t catch which three words.” Adrian said.

Cindy: “…”

“Say it again.” Adrian said.

He was driving and couldn’t afford to be too distracted.

He quickly glanced at Cindy, then focused back on the road.

However, the pitiful tone in his words was clearly conveyed to Cindy.

Softened by his tone, Cindy knew that he might be pretending.

He knew her weakness too well.

He knew how to make her feel sorry for him.

What a cunning man!

Anyway, whether it’s a fox or a dog, they all belong to the canine family.

But even knowing this, Cindy couldn’t help but be softhearted.

“It’s… heartache.” Cindy said softly.

Although her voice was soft and embarrassed, she steeled herself and spoke louder to make sure Adrian heard her clearly this time.

The car’s space was limited, and they were sitting close together. She didn’t believe that Adrian could not hear her this time.

IfNeeded, she would make her emotions swell bigger for him to sense!

“Did you hear it clearly this time?” Cindy asked him.

Adrian felt an indescribable warmth and sourness in his heart.

Aside from some individuals in the Zhekova Family, his own family was very harmonious.

But one could tell by looking at his parents.

However, as the future Family Head, he had to inherit the whole Zhekova Family.

No matter if it was his parents or Maverick, they were all very strict with him.

Moreover, being a boy, he could not naturally be compared to a girl.

He had to be raised tough.

In the future, he would be the head of a family and a clan, with many responsibilities to shoulder.

Therefore, his parents and Maverick couldn’t be too soft on him.

Being lenient at the wrong time could cost the entire family in the future.

As for Victoria, the Old Madam and Maverick still needed to coax her, so she wouldn’t pamper anyone.

It might be hard to believe, but this was the first time Adrian had heard such words in his life.

Hearing someone say they felt heartache for him.

He had heard so many other words.

People who admired him, envied him.

Dimension had no sympathy for him.

Adrian’s heart filled with a mixture of warmth and sourness.

He tightly held Cindy’s hand: “Aren’t you afraid of danger?”

“I’m not afraid,” Cindy said firmly, “As long as you’re with me, I’m not scared.”

“As long as I’m by your side, I’m not afraid of anything.” Cindy also gripped his hand tightly, “Adrian Zhekova, in my view, marriage means two people walking hand in hand, not one person shielding the other from the wind and rain.”

“If it’s like that, why marry? Why would I want to throw all my troubles at you?” That’s too selfish.

“Okay.” Adrian’s voice was slightly hoarse.

He didn’t say anything else.

He just agreed with what Cindy said.

From now on, whatever happens, they will face it together.

This way, it feels much more relaxed.

Adrian couldn’t help but smile.

The two returned home to get the Household Register.

As soon as they entered the house, Adrian wanted to push Cindy back into the room.

Who could blame him? This little girl had moved him so much along the way.

While driving, Adrian was already profoundly moved by her.

Cindy always said that meeting him was her fortune.

He felt the same way.

Meeting her was also his fortune.

Sometimes he even thought his fortune was just too great.

Since he was born into the Zhekova Family, he had more than others.

Although the responsibilities he carried were also great.

Still, many people would want it but couldn’t get it.

Ask anyone out there, if they had to shoulder such responsibilities, but get everything he has now.

Wouldn’t they be willing?

They absolutely would be.

He already had so much, yet he could still meet such a good girl like Cindy.

And fall in love with her.

For many people, being with their other half might not be because of love, but because of suitability.

In reality, those who truly encounter love are not many in proportion.

But he came across these things.

With such great fortune, Adrian was starting to worry.

Would he use up all his life’s fortune in advance?

He never used to believe in these things.

But after meeting Cindy, he felt he had gained too much.

Adrian was unusually worried.

Luckily, he still remembered the important event of getting their marriage certificate.

So after Cindy found the Household Register, Adrian remained attached to her but still cooperated and left the house together.

However, the whole time they left, Adrian clung to Cindy like a conjoined twin.

Not only holding onto her hand, but also their arms were pressed together.

From time to time, he would kiss her on the face, and sometimes it would unexpectedly land on her lips.

In the elevator, Cindy blushed from being kissed.

“Stop it.” Cindy couldn’t help but say.

“There’s nobody in the elevator anyway.” Adrian retorted immediately.

“But there’s surveillance!” Cindy reminded him.

Did he forget that?

“I’m kissing my own wife, what’s there to fear about being seen? It’s not like I’m kissing a mistress.” Adrian looked rascally.

Cindy was speechless for a moment, then felt that something wasn’t right about what he said.

She immediately glared at him: “You want to kiss a mistress?”

“No… Do you even have a mistress to kiss?” Cindy glared at him.
