Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Law Group Matriarch

Messages suddenly popped up on Cecilia Vaughn’s WeChat, and there were more than ten of them at once.

The busy notification made Adrian Law look over.

"Cecilia, who’s messaging you?"

Adrian’s sharp eyes swept over Cecilia’s phone, showing the avatar of a guy playing basketball, and his expression subtly changed.

Cecilia rarely used WeChat, normally chatting with her friends Mona Summers, or with her newly met classmate Bella Prescott, both of whom were girls. This avatar, however, was one she had never seen before.

...

Seeing Adrian’s evident curiosity but pretending to be indifferent, Cecilia couldn’t help but smile.

"It’s nothing, just a guy who helped me move some things today. Stop guessing. Here, take a look."

Saying so, Cecilia straightforwardly handed over her phone.

Messages kept jumping on the screen.

— Junior Vaughn, something’s wrong! Just in the past few hours this afternoon, the votes for the campus beauty contest have been refreshed a lot.

— Your votes suddenly dropped to fifth place, while the top few surged by thousands of votes. Now Katherine North is in first!

— Is someone targeting you on purpose? There’s only five minutes left in the voting, and it’s way too overboard!

— The campus beauty election just ended, Junior Vaughn, you only got sixth place. Don’t be sad, everyone knows your votes are the real deal; the ones ahead of you are so fake!

— In my heart, you’re the goddess. Junior, you’re the most beautiful!

...

To Adrian, the tone of these messages was clearly a confession to Cecilia!

His eyes grew deeper, with a flash of displeasure, and he directly edited a few words to send.

— Thanks for the heads up, I’ll tell her.

The guy who received this WeChat message was stunned, the information in that message was huge. Does the goddess already have a boyfriend at the start of the school year?

— ???, Who are you?

...

Cecilia looked at Adrian’s tightly pressed lips and immediately knew the vinegar jar had flipped over.

She chuckled and grasped Adrian’s hand.

"Alright, alright, why so sour? You’ve sent the message and claimed your territory, isn’t that enough?"

"He likes you, so from now on you can’t talk to him."

"Okay, okay, I’ll listen to you."

Adrian’s eyes narrowed as he saw Cecilia’s smiling face, and felt better. But thinking of the guy’s tone on WeChat, he still felt annoyed.

"No, you need to write another, stating you’re taken."

"..."

This man is really hard to please, a reincarnated vinegar demon!

Cecilia felt a bit helpless, yet sweet, as she quickly edited another reply to that classmate.

— Yep, I’m her boyfriend. Thanks for helping her with the move today.

The classmate who received the reply was utterly shocked, slumped in his chair as if soulless.

Cecilia Vaughn has a boyfriend?

But then again, a goddess is indeed a goddess, how could she not be pursued? And having a boyfriend while being straightforward about it is much better than those who string along backups.

...

"Is this enough?"

Cecilia gazed up at Adrian, her moist almond-shaped eyes blinking as if entranced by the stars.

Faced with the girl’s hopeful demeanor, Adrian seemed captivated, unable to resist lowering his head to plant a gentle kiss on Cecilia’s eyelashes.

"Cecilia, in this lifetime, you can only be mine."

The words were few but extremely domineering.

Meet his earnest gaze, and Cecilia’s heart pounded, nearly drowning in his breathtaking visage.

He’s so handsome...

No matter how many times I see him, I’ll never get tired.

Cecilia’s smile widened, naturally clasping Adrian’s hand, fingers intertwined.

"Alright, I’m yours, but you can only be mine too, the term is forever."

"Okay, I promise you."

A promise to you, to be kept for a lifetime.

...

After a moment of sweetness, Adrian took her to the mall to shop.

After all, they had to visit the Law Estate soon, and it wouldn’t be proper for Cecilia to arrive empty-handed.

Cecilia would never admit she genuinely didn’t want to meet Adrian’s family so soon, not that she wasn’t willing to meet them but afraid they wouldn’t accept her.

But now facing the situation, she had no choice but to brave it.

"Adrian, what does your grandmother like?"

Adrian raised his refined brows, pondering for a moment before speaking.

"Her... She’s quite a lively and energetic old lady, loves eating, drinking, and having fun."

"..."

Cecilia couldn’t help but be a bit envious, thinking the matriarch must be a very charming and happy grandmother.

"She and your grandfather must have a happy marriage."

Adrian nodded in agreement, though his biological parents were indeed bitter rivals, his grandmother Stacy Summers and grandfather Preston Law were a pair of delightful antagonists, fussing and bickering, supporting one another, living truly lovingly for a lifetime.

"So what should we buy? Does Grandma like sweets? Should we also pack some snacks from the place we just stopped by?"

"Not a good idea, she’s from Suzhou and Hangzhou, and due to her fondness for sweets, she now has diabetes. Better to get her something healthy."

"Okay," Cecilia scanned the nearby counter and her eyes lit up: "How about buying a few boxes of health supplements, ah, and this ginseng looks good too."

Adrian nodded slightly and instructed the sales clerk at the counter.

"Wrap them all up, two of each item."

Cecilia was puzzled: "Why two sets?"

Adrian smilingly shook his head, his long, graceful fingers lightly tapping Cecilia’s forehead.

"Silly girl, we’re also visiting your grandma’s house this weekend, of course, we need to prepare gifts beforehand."

"..."

Cecilia stood there dumbfounded, yet her heart felt as sweet as if covered in honey.

It turns out that to truly love someone is to thoughtfully consider everything for her, even extending that regard to her family equally.

At that moment, Cecilia finally understood that Adrian was indeed the person she could entrust her life to.

...

With the purchased health supplements in the gift bag, Adrian took Cecilia and drove to the Law Estate.

Seeing they were getting closer and closer to their destination, Cecilia’s palms began to sweat.

To claim she wasn’t nervous would be impossible.

The man seemed to notice the girl’s anxiety and, after getting out of the car, firmly grasped Cecilia’s hand.

"Let’s go, Cecilia, I’m here for everything, don’t worry."

"Alright."

Feeling the warmth from Adrian’s large hand, Cecilia’s wildly beating heart finally calmed down quite a bit.

...

After passing two security checks, Cecilia and Adrian were finally allowed inside. It was her first time seeing such tight security.

This area is mainly villas established in the 90s, inhabited by families of high status.

The Law Estate’s gilded gates were already open, servants lined up on either side, speaking in unison to Cecilia and Adrian.

"Young Master, Young Madam, good evening, welcome home!"

Cecilia was startled by the formalities; when she lifted her eyes, she saw a vigorous figure swiftly approaching them...
