The Bigshot Married Himself to the Heiress-Chapter 525 - 526: Brother-in-law is here

"In my heart, you are as beautiful as this butterfly," Aaron Faber couldn’t help but blurt out. After saying that, he became nervous and looked at her cautiously.

Fortunately, he didn’t scare her.

"This swallowtail butterfly is much more beautiful than me."

"You even know its name is swallowtail butterfly?"

"Yes, I know a lot of butterflies. I have many butterfly specimens in my room..." When it came to butterflies, Samara became enthusiastic and started talking nonstop, forgetting the dangerous scene that had just occurred.

They sat in a field of wildflowers, and Aaron picked a bunch of flowers and gave them to her.

"You must like flowers if you like butterflies. Here, although these are wildflowers, they are still beautiful."

Samara took the flowers, saying, "These are daisies, I really like them..."

The girl’s voice was gentle, soft, and tender, like a feather brushing his heart. He closed his eyes tightly, forcing down the surging emotions in his eyes.

"Sixth Master and your Sister are going to Abyanabad for their honeymoon, are you going?"

Abyanabad was his home. If Samara also went to Abyanabad, he wanted to take her to meet his family so they would stop pestering him about marriage. Looking at Samara’s young and innocent face, he fervently wished time would speed up. Once Samara turned eighteen, she’d be an adult, and he could openly pursue her.

"I’m not going."

"Why?"

"Why would I be a third wheel on my sister and brother-in-law’s honeymoon?"

"But Curly is going."

The butterfly regained its strength, flying away from Samara’s palm. She watched it flutter away, her gaze distant.

"I have to stay home with my mother and grandmother."

Aaron Faber’s heart ached at her thoughtfulness. He couldn’t help but gently touch her hair. Samara, taking him for an elder, didn’t think there was anything inappropriate about his action, as elders often patted her head.

"Abyanabad is beautiful, with many gorgeous sights... you could actually go and have fun for a few days. I can always send you back early if you need to return." He subtly invited her, his eyes sneakily observing her.

"I don’t want to go, I’d rather stay home with my mom..."

Her gaze darkened with sorrow. How could she leave at a time like this after her mother’s suicide? She didn’t have a father anymore, and if she lost her mother too, she’d be an orphan.

The sudden ringing of his phone disrupted the tranquility. Aaron Faber looked at it; the call was from Adrian Desmond.

"Sixth Master..." Aaron Faber quickly answered the call. His heart was in a turmoil; he knew he couldn’t hide today’s incident from Adrian Desmond.

The more Adrian Desmond loved Sienna Johnson, the more he cherished Samara.

"Where is Samara?" Adrian Desmond cut straight to the chase.

Aaron Faber glanced at Samara beside him and said, "She’s with me."

"Sienna is back home but didn’t see Samara. Hurry and bring her back!"

"We might not be able to come back right now."

"Now, immediately, bring Samara back!" Adrian Desmond directly issued the command.

Adrian Desmond’s voice came through the phone, and Samara heard it too. "Is it my brother-in-law?"

"Yes."

"Give me the phone." Samara snatched the phone and called out, "Brother-in-law..."

"Samara, where are you? Your sister is back home and can’t find you. She’s worried, hurry back."

"Brother-in-law, someone bullied me..." Samara began to sob.

Adrian Desmond was speechless.

「Riverside.」

When Adrian Desmond arrived, he was so furious with Aaron Faber that he almost beat him up again. Samara’s face was dirty, and her clothes were disheveled. A button was missing from her blouse, and she kept clutching the fabric at her chest. Adrian Desmond dared not think further.

"Aaron Faber, what the hell did you do? How did Samara end up like this?"

The moment he arrived, Adrian Desmond started berating Aaron Faber.

Samara, who usually feared her father-like brother-in-law, was even more intimidated by Adrian’s furious expression.

Originally, Samara intended to explain the situation on Aaron’s behalf, but in front of her brother-in-law’s powerful presence, she couldn’t utter a word.

"It’s all my fault, I promise this kind of thing will never happen again!"

Aaron Faber knew he was in the wrong, so he didn’t elaborate on his actions.

Over the phone, Adrian Desmond had only gotten a rough idea of what happened; he didn’t know all the details. From Samara’s state, it was clear she had been "bullied" by a man, but to what extent, he didn’t know. He couldn’t ask more questions in front of Samara.

"Let’s go home first!"

Samara suddenly looked up at her brother-in-law and said, "Brother-in-law, I can’t go back like this. My sister will be worried when she sees me, and she might even scold me to death..."

"What do you plan to do?"

Samara thought for a moment and said, "Brother-in-law, can you tell my sister that I’m staying at a friend’s place for a few days?"

Adrian Desmond felt like he was being dragged into a scheme. "Your sister will be angrier if she finds out you lied to her."

"With the way I look now, she’ll be angry anyway," Samara mumbled, poking her fingertips together.

"Go stay at Dragon Court Residence Complex for a few days. I’ll talk to your sister."

"Thank you, brother-in-law," Samara said happily.

"But..."

Samara looked at Adrian Desmond’s serious expression, and her smile faded. "Brother-in-law, I’ll do whatever you say."

"From now on, I’ll arrange for two bodyguards for you. You must take them with you when you go out."

"Huh?"

Sienna Johnson and Curly both had bodyguards. Initially, Adrian Desmond had planned to assign bodyguards to Samara as well, but she declined.

She was just an ordinary girl, enjoying the simple, happy life of an ordinary girl. She really didn’t like having bodyguards with her when she went out.

"Brother-in-law, I won’t run around anymore, please don’t assign me bodyguards. It’s so embarrassing to have bodyguards when I go out, and it will scare my friends away."

Samara gave many reasons for not wanting bodyguards restricting her freedom.

Adrian Desmond looked sternly at the beautiful girl in front of him. Samara greatly resembled Sienna Johnson. Because of his love for Sienna, Adrian’s affection extended to Samara; he had always treated this well-behaved child very well.

"Do you think what happened today is no big deal?"

"...It wasn’t too bad, it was just a close call. Luckily, Uncle Aaron arrived in time..."

Adrian Desmond’s dark eyes locked onto the innocent girl, who seemed like a blank sheet of paper. He said mercilessly, "Samara, you are very beautiful. It’s both a good and a bad thing for a girl to be beautiful! Today, you were lucky, just like you said – a close call. But smart people learn from their experiences. After such a terrifying incident today, shouldn’t you use your head and think about it?"

"What should I think about?"

"Think about whether you’ll be this lucky next time!" Adrian Desmond suddenly grabbed Samara’s hand, his grip so strong that her wrist immediately turned red.
