Cindy felt her face “explode” in embarrassment, burning hot.
Her nose pressed against his shirt, and his mint scent became even stronger.
Adrian Zhekova lowered his head, his gaze intensely focusing on her forehead.
Cindy still had a hand on Morgan Clarke, while the other helplessly tried to push Adrian away.
Her face turned completely red.
“Watch where you put your hands,” Adrian accused her, as if she was intentionally taking advantage of him.
Cindy was dumbfounded.
Wasn’t it just a little push?
He swallowed deeply before finally stepping back a bit.
At last, Cindy could breathe, but she was too embarrassed to look him in the eye.
Morgan Clarke was also astonished!
Did… did he give Adrian the opportunity to take advantage of her?!
Morgan Clarke indignantly extended his little chubby hand, giving Adrian a slap on the face.
Adrian Zhekova: ‘
Adrian Zhekova glanced at Morgan Clarke before finally stepping back.
After letting go of Morgan Clarke’s hand, he turned to Cindy and said, “Sorry, I wasn’t steady just now.”
What could Cindy say?
However, she just found it hard to believe.
With Morgan Clarke’s strength, could he really pull Adrian Zhekova?
Cindy quickly stepped away from Adrian’s embrace, not daring to go to the convenience store alone with him.
She immediately called Morgan Clarke to join her: “If Morgan Zhekova wants to go, let’s go together.”
Adrian Zhekova let go of Morgan Clarke’s hand and straightened his shirt, which had been messed up by the child.
The three of them left the house together.
Soon after arriving at the convenience store across the residential area, Cindy quickly found men’s slippers.
She estimated their size, thinking they should fit.
Cindy took them to the cashier to pay.
Adrian Zhekova stood next to her, holding Morgan Clarke’s hand. They looked just like a family of three.
Peggy Lewis lazily strolled to the convenience store, stopping at the entrance when she saw Cindy and Morgan Clarke with a man. She immediately hid and darted out.
She had a client meeting earlier, and after finishing, she had nothing else to do, so she didn’t return to the company.
She wanted to visit Morgan Clarke and buy him some snacks at the convenience store along the way.
However, before she entered, she saw through the full-length glass window that Cindy was with a man.
But that was not the most surprising thing.
The most astonishing thing was that the man was Adrian Zhekova!
They had just discussed him last night- the prince of the Zhekova Family, CEO of Pingla Group, the man in power of the Zhekova Family.
But there was something even more shocking!
Peggy Lewis strangely found that Morgan Clarke looked so much like Adrian Zhekova!
She had never noticed it before since she had never interacted with Adrian, and one couldn’t really tell from pictures.
But now, seeing them together in person provided a very straightforward comparison.
Peggy Lewis was horrified to find that they looked so alike!
Could… could Adrian be Morgan Clarke’s father?!
Although Peggy found her speculation incredible, she couldn’t help but think that way.
Peggy wouldn’t dare disturb Cindy at that moment and quickly snuck away.
She planned to ask Cindy about it again that night.
When Cindy returned home, she used scissors to cut off the plastic tag on the slippers for Adrian.
Then, she brewed Adrian some tea and brought out her homemade cookies: “These are my own recipe, unlike those store-bought ones with added flavorings and colors. Give them a try.”
Morgan Clarke proudly added, “All my snacks are homemade by Cindy, and they are delicious!”
