Chapter 14: Chapter 14: The World’s Only Custom-Made Phone

Cecilia Vaughn’s body stiffened; she never expected Adrian Law to make such a move!

Sensing the girl’s unease, the man spoke calmly.

"For the photo."

Was he explaining to her? 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Cecilia was taken aback and had no time to think before she felt the man’s scent filling the air around her.

Unlike ordinary men who smell of smoke, Adrian had a fresh, cool scent like bamboo after the rain.

Clean, crisp, making one subconsciously want to indulge.

Even though Adrian’s face showed no hint of a smile, Cecilia inexplicably felt that the previously tense him seemed to be in a much better mood.

The big hand placed on her waist did not move inappropriately, but through the thin layers of fabric, it was scorching.

All at once, Cecilia’s face turned even redder...

Not knowing where to place her hands, Cecilia finally couldn’t help but urge.

"Can we finish the photo quickly?"

...

The staff admired the handsome man and beautiful woman in front of her with a smile and quickly nodded in agreement.

"Sure, but the photo for the marriage certificate can’t be sloppy! I’ll make you look beautiful!"

Saying so, the staff quickly pressed the capture button and took several shots in succession.

Wow, everyone says The Second Young Master Law and Fiona Vaughn, who got engaged a few days ago, are Veridia’s most attractive real-life couple, but these two clearly are!

...

"It’s done, Young Master Law, Miss Vaughn, how about this one?"

Pleased with the final product, the staff felt like a photography genius for the first time!

She handed the freshly printed photo to Cecilia.

Looking at the finished photo, a faint surprise flashed across Cecilia’s beautiful eyes.

Even though neither of them was smiling in the picture, the man’s expression was calm and serene, and the adjacent girl’s face slightly flushed, there was an indescribable harmony surrounding them.

To anyone, they seemed like a perfect match.

Before Cecilia could speak, Adrian was the first to agree.

"Alright, let’s go with this one."

...

After taking the photo, the two signed the papers together, and when Cecilia received the red marriage certificate, a chord in her heart was touched.

Just like that... she’s married?

—If it had been three years ago, she would never have imagined getting the certificate under these circumstances.

She couldn’t help but look at Adrian.

The man beside her had features as profound as a meticulously drawn portrait, with tightly pressed thin lips, and his narrow, clear eyes were very different from Tyson Law’s affectionate, charming eyes.

Even after looking at him all day, Cecilia had to admit that Adrian was exceedingly handsome.

Marrying such a man, no matter how she thought about it, seemed quite a deal.

...

After a brief moment of self-consolation, the two walked out of the civil affairs bureau.

Adrian walked in front of Cecilia and suddenly opened the car door of the Rolls-Royce for her.

"Get in."

Cecilia was startled, thinking that Adrian must have been well-taught.

"Mr. Law, you really have a gentlemanly demeanor, even opening the car door for a lady."

Unexpectedly, the man beside her casually responded.

"Besides my mother and my sister, you’re the first."

"..."

There was something strange about that sentence, and Cecilia couldn’t help but change the subject.

"Young Master Law, do you have a sister?"

She had never heard of it, and hadn’t looked into that part during her prior investigations.

"Yes, a twin sister, but she passed away due to an accident."

The man’s voice was calm, yet it seemed to carry a trace of reminiscence and melancholy.

"..."

She was really unlucky today, mentioning the very thing she shouldn’t have, Cecilia almost wanted to slap herself.

"I also have a younger brother, named Evan Vaughn, a few years younger than me. If you don’t mind, Young Master Law, you can consider him as a brother, too."

"Sure."

The man agreed so readily, almost making Cecilia suspect it was her imagination.

...

Just as Cecilia was finding it surreal, Adrian glanced at her.

"Give me your phone."

???

Confused, Cecilia obediently handed over her phone, only to quickly see the man retrieve a delicate little box from the car’s storage compartment.

"For you."

Cecilia was slightly stunned. She opened the box and found a cell phone inside.

There was no visible brand, but the pure white body was sleek and thin, seemingly not cheap.

"I noticed your phone was old, so I took the liberty of having a custom one made. My number is already stored in it."

Speaking nonchalantly about it, Wyatt, at the front, couldn’t help but chime in.

"Miss Vaughn, the Young Master specifically had this custom-made for you. It’s unique worldwide, crafted overnight by an exceptional engineer..."

Wyatt wanted to say more, to encourage her not to waste the Young Master’s good intentions, but a cold stare from Adrian made Wyatt fall silent.

Cecilia guessed it wasn’t cheap, but she didn’t expect it to be so valuable.

The item in her palm suddenly felt a bit hot.

"Thank you for the phone."

Cecilia’s eyes warmed. Noticing she was still using a phone from three years ago, this kind of care, regardless of the reason behind it, was touching.

...

"Also, keep this card."

The cold and unemotional male voice reached her ears, and Cecilia looked up to see a black and gold card with a dragon pattern, distinguished beyond compare.

Such a uniquely designed black card — Cecilia had heard of it and knew it wasn’t something an ordinary person could possess!

She refused immediately.

"The phone is fine, but the black card is too valuable, Young Master, please keep it yourself."

"You might think I have no income, but actually, during my later time in prison, I’ve been delving into painting and even had the guards help me submit some work for extra income."

Although Veridia’s prison rules are strict, after review, some writings and artworks can be submitted.

Coincidentally, Mona Summers is an online literature editor who knows some people in the industry and even recommended Cecilia’s comics for rights adaptation; the drama companies are currently negotiating.

...

"I know."

Adrian’s angular face was illuminated by the sunlight, with his deep eyes seemingly brimming with some emotion.

"You are my wife, Adrian’s wife. That card is merely an identity symbol for Mrs. Law. Do you still want to refuse?"

Even though it was just a fake marriage, why did Adrian’s tone sound so solemn...

Cecilia’s heartstrings trembled; before she could say anything, the man had already insisted on placing the black and gold card in Cecilia’s hand.

Their skin touched for just a moment, yet Cecilia’s fingertips seemed to catch fire.

At this point, refusing would be unnecessarily evasive.

Cecilia had no choice but to accept it, thinking she wouldn’t use it anyways since holding onto it was merely to save Adrian’s face.

"Young Master, thank you for being so considerate."

...

Adrian gazed at the girl in front of him with a complex expression and finally spoke calmly.

"You are now Mrs. Law; there’s no need to be so formal. Call me Adrian, or just Adrian."

"..."

Simple words stuck in her throat, it was unthinkable for Cecilia to say them.

Is she crazy?

Yet she actually felt that Adrian seemed to have feelings for her...
