At this moment, she was also holding bags in Adrian Zhekova’s hand.
“I usually carry more and even heavier things than these.” Cindy Clarke said with a laugh, holding the bag up a bit higher to show that she had no problem carrying it.
“You had to do that because I wasn’t around before, but now I am. Why should you have to carry heavy things?” Adrian wanted to ruffle Cindy’s hair.
Unfortunately, both his hands were occupied carrying bags and there was no way to put them down.
So, he had to move a step forward, almost enclosing Cindy in his arms.
And then he said to Cindy, “You, little girl, should learn to be a bit more spoiled with me.”
Cindy looked up, puzzled by Adrian’s remark.
Perhaps it was because she had become a mother at an early age.
Or maybe it was because she had grown up in such a family environment.
Reality forced her to mature early and forget what it felt like to be a young girl, so she never knew how to act spoiled.
“If it were anyone else, they wouldn’t talk to you like this,” Adrian said with a slight discomfort in his voice.
“What do you mean?” Cindy didn’t understand.
“If it were someone else, they’d probably talk about how capable they are, and how they had to do everything by themselves in the past. Not like you, telling me you can do everything and it’s effortless.”
The emphasis was different.
Complaining about hardships focused on how hard it was to do everything by oneself and how tiring it was.
But Cindy simply said she could do it easily.
Who else has a girl like this?
Adrian saw Morgan Zhekova beside him, staring at him with wide eyes, like two big light bulbs.
Adrian then told Morgan, “Close your eyes.”
Today, Adrian was really doing great.
He supported them and even bought Lego for Morgan.
So, Morgan decided to cooperate with him.
Adrian finished speaking, and Morgan obediently closed his eyes.
Don’t think he didn’t know that Adrian wanted to kiss Cindy with his eyes closed!
He knew everything!
He reluctantly complied with Adrian’s request!
Who else could it be but his father?
Morgan had to… He had to show his filial piety!
Seeing the grin on Morgan’s face, Cindy knew he was actually aware of everything going on.
Cindy’s face flushed with embarrassment.
She gave Adrian a reproachful glance.
He never knew to avoid Morgan during these moments.
Adrian just smiled silently and leaned down to give her a quick kiss on the lips.
Both of Cindy’s hands were full too, so she couldn’t push him away.
“Cindy,” Adrian whispered softly.
With her face still red, she looked at him upon hearing his words.
Her moist eyes looked so good and delicate.
It made him want to protect her, to hide her away from the world.
And never let anyone hurt her again.
“From now on, you’re not standing alone anymore. No, that’s not right, you don’t have to stand firm at all, I’m here for you. I’m tall, so even if the sky falls down, I’ll hold it up for you,” Adrian said softly. “I know, you’ve been used to supporting yourself for a long time.”
“But now that I’m here, you should learn to hand things over to me,” Adrian smiled. “I know you’re very independent, but sometimes, learn to rely on me too. Learn to share your pain with me, so I can feel more for you.”
Cindy had never liked to complain about her hardships or use tears to win the sympathy of others.
She felt she could handle everything and even if there were difficulties, ultimately they could be resolved.
But now, listening to Adrian’s words, her heart felt both sour and warm, incredibly grounded.
