Chapter 594: Adrian, Kiss Me

Cecilia Vaughn saw the notification and couldn’t help but blink, showing a hint of surprise.

Could there be other enterprises named Zane Group in Stellerton?

Cecilia pondered for half a second and immediately chose to click on the webpage for more details.

As soon as she entered, there was a huge picture of Boss Zane drinking and laughing with others before his death.

That greasy old face was undoubtedly the same Boss Zane who had clashed with her at Wind and Moon.

...

How could it be such a coincidence?

They had just had a conflict a few days ago, and now Boss Zane was dead.

Cecilia hesitated for a moment, then decided to send the news link to Adrian Law.

——Adrian, did you have a hand in this?

Although Cecilia loathed the man named Zane, she felt that such a ruthless move didn’t quite fit Adrian’s style.

It’s not that Adrian is kind-hearted; Cecilia knows better than anyone that she is Adrian’s Achilles’ heel, and anyone who offends her will be punished, no matter how far away.

But from the conversation between Cecilia and Adrian that night, it seemed that Adrian didn’t think highly of people like Boss Zane.

To use Adrian’s words, people like him committed many sins and would eventually be dealt with by fate, without the need for personal intervention. Even the heavens would find him displeasing.

...

So is this the heavens coming back to settle the score?

Originally a bit startled and suspicious, Cecilia was suddenly amused by her own imagination.

Just as she was smiling, her phone received a text from Adrian Law on WeChat.

——It wasn’t me, but to say I had no involvement wouldn’t be accurate either.

...

What does that mean?

Cecilia blinked, puzzled, as if Adrian was only telling half the story to keep her guessing.

She thought for a moment, and a handsome young face suddenly flashed across her mind.

——Adrian, are you implying that Dashiell Zane did this?

...

Considering it, Dashiell would turn on his own uncle in such a harsh way, likely with some instigation from her and Adrian.

That day after Cecilia sent that ambiguous text message, she hadn’t received a response from Dashiell.

She thought perhaps Dashiell decided not to pursue it further or wanted to deceive himself.

Yet unexpectedly, that guy remained silent on the surface, while secretly unearthing old clues and once confirmed, immediately ended the one who used to defile and humiliate him and his mother.

Such decisive action is not something just anyone can do.

Upon receiving Cecilia’s reply, Adrian Law, who was standing by the panoramic window, raised an eyebrow with a smile.

——Cecilia, I never said that. Be careful with what you say.

——Also, I’m at New Century Grand Hotel. Come over, it’s a special day.

...

Cecilia was rendered speechless upon receiving Adrian’s reply.

Is this a warning for her to watch her words?

Indeed, Dashiell chose to make Boss Zane die of a stroke, which, for a middle-aged man who indulged in excess, indeed seemed like a non-manmade affliction, making it easy to clear any blame.

Because there was a gap between the two texts, when Cecilia was about to turn off her phone’s screen, she suddenly caught sight of the New Century Hotel mentioned.

"What’s the special day?"

Cecilia absolutely couldn’t remember.

Sometimes, Cecilia felt she wasn’t like a typical woman; normally, girls would constantly ask guys for surprises, but in her case, it seemed reversed, with Adrian being much more attentive than her.

...

However, after sending her message, Cecilia received no reply from Adrian, the sly wolf.

The girl helplessly puffed her cheeks.

——Is playing games and speaking in riddles really that fun?

Is it bullying her because she can’t remember dates?!

Cecilia thought to herself, meaning to grumble about Adrian, but somehow, a faint sweetness spread in her heart.

——Having a husband who remembers various surprises better than you do probably means he deeply loves you, even more so than you love yourself.

...

Cecilia took a breath and happened to see her reflection in the full-length mirror in the store window beside her.

Although still clean and fresh, after spending a day out on the busy road, she inevitably looked a bit shabby.

There was clearly no time to go back to Starfall Bay to tidy up her appearance.

Cecilia glanced around hesitantly at several nearby stores and happened to spot a clothing mall and a beauty salon.

Without hesitation, Cecilia quickly picked out a safe dress from the mall and then had a 15-minute express makeover at the beauty salon.

She couldn’t bear to keep Adrian waiting too long, but it was better than showing up unprepared.

...

Upon reaching the New Century Grand Hotel, Cecilia was surprised to find the renowned high-altitude revolving restaurant completely empty.

Only the host at the entrance standing on the red carpet nodded respectfully to her.

"You must be Miss Vaughn, please come in."

Even though Cecilia owned vast assets in the Radiant Group, seeing that Adrian had booked the entire hotel for a celebration on an anniversary she couldn’t even remember, she felt a bit guilty and slightly pained about the money.

Ah, the pain of wasting money.

...

Cecilia pinched her palm lightly, managing to set aside the pain to walk confidently along the red carpet.

——Fortunately, she had made an effort to change her appearance before coming; otherwise, she’d feel undeserving of the grand display Adrian had set up.

She was guilty, so she confessed!

...

Guided by the service staff to the top floor’s revolving restaurant, Cecilia saw the tall, elegant figure of the man by the floor-to-ceiling window.

"Adrian..."

The girl called out joyfully, and the man turned around instantly, his narrow eyes locked onto the pure smile of the woman he loved.

Adrian raised the corners of his lips slightly and walked towards Cecilia.

Meanwhile, the service staff sensibly retreated.

"Cecilia, I remember your outfit was different when you left..."

The man teased as he looked at his young wife.

And with her cheeks slightly flushed, Cecilia shyly fiddled with her fingers.

"It’s just that I’m embarrassed I didn’t remember what day it was."

The man sighed helplessly.

"Cecilia, today is the third month of our marriage..."

"Ah?! So, it’s the third-month anniversary of our first meeting?"

Cecilia looked up in surprise, but Adrian’s eyes suddenly deepened as he shook his head.

"No, just our marriage anniversary."

"..."

Cecilia felt a bit lost, thinking perhaps when she used to visit the Law Family to see Tyson, she might have seen Adrian from afar without noticing he was watching her.

"Cecilia, you smell so good..."

Adrian murmured softly, breathing in the subtle fragrance surrounding Cecilia.

Cecilia blushed, thinking about her forgetfulness, and finally gathered the courage to tiptoe and wrap her arm around the man’s neck.

"Adrian, kiss me."
