Chapter 786: Chapter 786: It’s Just Too Fine
It’s not like being at home where I can laze around however I want.
Cindy turned her body to the side, leaning against the head of the bed, and playfully tugged on Adrian’s sleeve.
Adrian lowered his head, smiling, “Even if you didn’t tug at me, I’d still be looking at you.”
Cindy lifted her chin, slightly embarrassed but still asked, “Tell me honestly, when did you start having designs on me?”
Cindy raised the corners of her eyes, “Was it the first time we met that you started having plans for me?”
Was this man struck by love at first sight?
Cindy lifted her hand and pinched her cheek, thinking it’s acceptable.
It’s not that thick either.
Adrian: “…”
How should he answer that question?
Did he fall in love with Cindy at first sight?
He thought, maybe it’s not entirely accurate.
When he first saw her, he didn’t really think about it in that way.
He wasn’t so love-struck that he’d think about such things after just one encounter.
But he never really liked children.
Or rather, there weren’t many things that would interest or appeal to him.
He thought if it were another child, like little Morgan clinging to him,
Even if the child was small, he wouldn’t be the least bit courteous.
Though he complained with his mouth, his actions were spoiling little Morgan.
At that time, he didn’t know the relationship between little Morgan and himself, and didn’t doubt it.
Maybe it was just the natural connection between bloodlines.
Even when he didn’t know, it made him treat little Morgan differently.
He thought that at the time, he didn’t have such thoughts about Cindy,
But at least he was fond of her.
After all, it was Cindy, if it had been another woman, he wouldn’t have paid her any attention.
The different attitude towards Cindy was actually because in his heart, he was fond of her.
Adrian pondered in his heart and decided not to express his true thoughts, as instinct told him Cindy might get upset if he said he didn’t like her from the very beginning.
How to cope with her anger?
Adrian thought for a moment and said, “I was fond of you at that time. Maybe it’s not as mysterious as love at first sight. After all, I don’t know what love at first sight feels like, or to what extent it can be called love at first sight.”
“But at that time, when I saw you, I felt that I didn’t find you as repulsive as other women. On the contrary, I quite liked you.”
“Seeing you trying to deny any relationship with me, I subconsciously wanted to get closer to you, to get to know you better.”
“Later, when I suspected that the person five years ago was you, and Morgan was my son, my first reaction was, ‘what a coincidence.’
“I think that’s great. If it’s you, I’m happy.”
“If it had been someone else, I might only have taken responsibility for the child. But since it’s you, I feel so fortunate. I’m grateful that the girl from five years ago was you.”
“At the time when I couldn’t be sure that Morgan was my son, I couldn’t help wanting to interact more with you, to understand you better. When it was confirmed, I didn’t need to struggle anymore. I just thought that since it’s you, it’s great.”
“I don’t believe that love at first sight can bring about a passionate and solid relationship. What can you like about someone when you’ve only met them once? Isn’t it just their face?” Adrian chuckled softly. “How long can such a superficial, shallow affection last?”
“What if you get tired of looking at their face? What if you find that they only have a beautiful face but have a character that doesn’t match yours?”
“So-called love at first sight is just a beautiful excuse for one’s own superficiality.” Adrian considered this somewhat contemptuously.
“Even if one has a good impression of someone’s appearance at first sight, one must see if they get along well before they can settle their feelings.”
“As for me and you, to say that it’s love at first sight might not be accurate. I was just fond of you initially, and the more we interacted, the more I liked you.” Adrian said.
Suddenly, Cindy laughed and snuggled into his arms.
Why did this man’s words match her thoughts so perfectly?
Although there were no sweet nothings, his sincere words comforted her heart more than any sweet talk.
Cindy buried her face in his chest.
After rubbing it a few times, she sniffed the scent in Adrian’s arms.
Adrian’s shower gel and body lotion had a hint of oak, orange, and mint.
The scent was refreshing with a touch of sourness and a cool, crisp aroma.
It was completely different from the fragrances of the shower gel and body lotion she used.
It smelled particularly good on him.
Cindy always loved sniffing it.
Cindy sniffed gently in his arms, her breath tickling his chest.
Adrian’s chest felt warm and a little ticklish.
He suddenly hugged Cindy tighter.
Although she looked thin and fragile,
Her body was surprisingly soft.
She had a delicate bone structure.
So, although she was thin, she wasn’t short on meat.
Holding her felt incredibly comfortable.
Softly, Adrian couldn’t help but squeeze her into his chest with more force.
With one hand on the back of her head and the other on her cheek, he pressed her face against his chest.
He could feel the warmth of her face, and the hot breath of her nose on his chest.
Cindy’s face was squashed by him.
Her cheeks were pressed against her lips, and her lips pouted out like a little pig’s.
There went any semblance of grace.
Cindy’s forehead creased into a frown, and she poked at his waist.
His waist was incredibly firm.
Not a single soft spot could be felt when she poked, only muscle.
Finally, Adrian relaxed his grip a little.
Cindy quickly pulled her face away and gasped for air.
“If you don’t let go, I’ll start suspecting you of trying to murder your own wife,” Cindy said.
Adrian couldn’t help but laugh.
Looking at her, he found it increasingly pleasing, his gaze never tiring.
Just being with her, not having to do anything, simply watching her, was enough to lift his spirits.
Even if he had been in a bad mood just a moment ago.
Seeing her would quickly dispel any unpleasantness and gloom.
Adrian cupped her face and kissed her, hard and forcefully.
Cindy’s lips felt somewhat numb and tingling, sensing Adrian’s hand had some evil intent in his touch.
She quickly grabbed his hand: “Not yet, I still have something to ask you.”
“What is it?” Adrian couldn’t hold out for much longer.
Even though she wasn’t teasing him, holding her in his arms had ignited his desires, which he’d figuratively brought upon himself.
Adrian held both her hands around her waist.
Her waist was really thin.
How could it still be so thin after having a child?
Not to mention she spends her days researching cuisine, no doubt trying out dishes herself.
She’s eaten quite a lot, how can she still be this thin?
His hands gripped her, with the middle finger on her back and the index finger on her belly almost touching each other.
Her waist was just too slim, and it made Adrian’s heart itch.
