Chapter 682: The Little and Big Teasers

“I’m a bit worried, if one day I leave you, will I be unable to take care of myself because I’ve been spoiled by you for too long.”

Hearing Cecilia Vaughn’s words, the man immediately smiled gently.

Adrian Law extended his hand and gently caressed Cecilia Vaughn’s delicate skin.

“Cecilia, although sometimes my selfish nature as a man takes over, wanting to spoil you, pamper you, and make you unable to leave me, I never thought of turning you into a glass doll in my hands, one that would shatter when let go.”

“I have never opposed, and I even strongly support you in pursuing a career, whether you choose to primarily manage Radiant Group in the future, or continue to create comic books like ‘There are branches on the mountain’, you can freely chase your dreams. I won’t clip your wings and bind you to my side.”

His Cecilia shouldn’t be a bird in a gilded cage but should be a phoenix soaring in the skies, using her radiant feathers to let the world witness her splendor and elegance.

…

Adrian Law doesn’t even mind if Cecilia Vaughn’s achievements surpass his own in the future.

Of course, Adrian Law himself works very hard, and this level of diligence can’t simply be attributed to natural talent. He continues to advance, hoping to become a better person with his beloved.

Hearing Adrian Law’s words, Cecilia Vaughn felt even more moved.

“I never said I couldn’t make money. I can still support myself, I’m just worried about being unable to differentiate between the grains, what should I do? Oh…”

At least, when it comes to cooking for Adrian Law, her culinary skills… cough cough, are hard to describe; at most, they can satisfy hunger. It’s fortunate that Adrian Law can still eat her food with a straight face and praise it as delicious.

How extremely insincere!

Cecilia Vaughn felt that even if she met another man who loved her as much, he wouldn’t pamper her little whims like Adrian, while also reminding her to stay clear-headed on the bigger matters, cooking meals for her without boasting, and always paying attention to her subtle preferences.

In her own turn, Cecilia doesn’t think she could do as much for Adrian Law.

…

The man found it more amusing, extending his hand and gliding it over Cecilia Vaughn’s delicate bridge of the nose.

“Silly Cecilia, it’s just because I’m by your side; if I weren’t, you’d definitely learn on your own, and even if not, you could buy it. It just wouldn’t be as healthy and reassuring.”

“That’s it, really.”

Cecilia Vaughn stuck out her tongue playfully and blinked her eyes.

“So, dear Mr. Law, could I be fortunate enough to hire you as my lifelong personal chef?”

Adrian Law tilted his head in mock consideration. Compared to his usual stern and serious demeanor, he had more of a youthful spirit.

“No, you’ve reminded me that from now on you should be the one cooking for me. Maybe that will urge you to improve your culinary skills.”

“… You’ve changed; you don’t love me anymore…”

Cecilia Vaughn looked at Adrian Law with a pitiful gaze, her eyes wide open like a cat disgruntled for not being given fish.

Speaking of which, the Mimi they keep is just like that, the odd-eyed lion cat still somewhat anxious at home at first, perhaps because it had been a stray for too long, now completely spoiled by them, acting like a little prince, throwing a tantrum if not given treats.

Oh, Cecilia Vaughn never had a child, but thinking of how complicated keeping a cat is, she guesses that when she and Adrian have children in the future, things will be even more diverse?

Thinking of the trouble Mimi had been through with Fiona Vaughn, Cecilia Vaughn felt heartache even after replacing a synthetic cat tongue.

…

A gust of wind happened to blow by; the night wind in Caelus was not as warm as during the day. A sudden sense of solitude struck her, making the girl’s eyes slightly dim as she reached out to hold Adrian Law’s hand, her expression becoming much more desolate.

“Adrian, let’s go back to the hotel.”

“Cecilia, what’s wrong?”

Adrian Law noticed the girl’s change in expression. The black phoenix eyes under his heroic brows squinted as he looked at Cecilia Vaughn with curiosity.

— Surely this little one doesn’t really think she’s supposed to cook?

But even if he really were to insist on Cecilia learning to cook better, it wouldn’t be a bad thing. After all, they can’t stick together 24/7. Occasionally, Adrian Law will have to travel worldwide for business, and it’s not always guaranteed that Cecilia Vaughn would have time to accompany him.

During the times he’s not at Starfall Bay, although he could ask Aunt Sawyer to take care of Cecilia Vaughn’s living needs, Adrian Law has realized that Cecilia doesn’t quite enjoy others frequently intervening in her personal space. She might prefer ordering takeout over having Aunt Sawyer cook for her.

…

Adrian Law pondered for a while, perhaps hiring a chef from the Splendid Pavilion to deliver meals full of love to Cecilia Vaughn would be a good decision.

Eating Cantonese cuisine every day, yet Cecilia Vaughn prefers spicy food, doesn’t she ever get tired of it?

Just when Adrian Law’s thoughts completely went off track, Cecilia Vaughn leaned her head against his arm, muttering under the night wind.

“Adrian… I miss Mimi, I wonder if it’ll have any problems being home alone.”

“Don’t worry, Wyatt has the key to Starfall Bay, and I’ve asked Wyatt to check on Mimi whenever he has time. Mimi is smart enough to find the canned food on its own.”

This statement wasn’t just unwarranted boasting.

Compared to many domestic cats, perhaps because of the length of its straying, Mimi hasn’t forgotten its many survival skills from the wild.

So whenever Cecilia Vaughn manages to wake up early, she could find a tightly pressed-down little mouse outside the door by Mimi, or even once a four-legged lizard, and a bat.

Who knows where this little one catches these strange things.

— Heaven knows, Cecilia Vaughn has lived in Stellerton for over twenty years and could swear she has never seen a bat!

Cecilia Vaughn happens to be afraid of such things, so scared after a shriek, she jumped right into Adrian Law’s arms.

“Quickly sweep those things away! I’m going crazy! Adrian, you’re so bad, why didn’t you clean them up when you got up before me?”

Even though Cecilia Vaughn looked at him with grievance and anger, Adrian Law’s mood was extremely joyful.

The man mischievously pointed towards Mimi, who raised its paw arrogantly, clearly showing off to its owner.

“Look, according to the book, Mimi was concerned you might not have enough to eat or keep warm, so it caught these things to fill your belly. Isn’t it amazing how Mimi hasn’t been raised in vain?”

“…”

Truly, thank you so much.

Cecilia Vaughn felt both angry and at a loss for words. Yet seeing the odd-eyed, moon-white cat dash up, affectionately licking her nightgown, Cecilia Vaughn felt unable to express her anger.

Really, defeated by these two little troublemakers!

This life is unlivable!
