Chapter 526: All Because of the Perils of Male Beauty

Cecilia Vaughn could clearly feel the most terrifying change surrounding the man, that dangerous gaze like a tiger watching its prey, leaving her both scared and flustered, and perhaps even with a hint of an unidentifiable longing.

"Adrian... we... um..."

The words she tried to say were ultimately swallowed whole by the man’s lips, accompanied by the sound of a heartbeat-quickening licking noise.

Cecilia Vaughn was embarrassed to the extreme, she tried to extend her hand to push away the man’s strong and powerful arm, but he seized the moment when she relaxed her guard, his large hand moved ceaselessly, each gentle stroke seeming to ignite a sea of fire.

Adrian Law tightly embraced the girl in his arms, his long legs entwining around Cecilia’s knees, making them resemble two vines tightly binding together.

Inextricably linked, deeply entwined into each other, inseparable.

...

The next day, when Cecilia Vaughn woke up, it was already broad daylight.

She looked at the white curtains gently swaying at the window, then she realized she was no longer in the greenhouse upstairs, perhaps while she was in a state of confusion, Adrian Law had carried her back to the master bedroom.

Her whole body felt refreshed with no hidden pain, only a slight soreness when she lifted her arm and legs.

No wonder, yesterday she was held by Adrian Law, suspended half in air on the railing for a full two hours, later on...

Cecilia Vaughn dared not recall those scenes that made her mouth feel dry, not knowing what had come over her, if it had been before she married Adrian Law, she would never have imagined living such a life.

Deep down, she secretly discovered that she didn’t actually dislike these things, and even showed signs of secretly indulging in it together with Adrian Law.

Ah... blame it on male beauty misleading people.

If it wasn’t Adrian Law doing these things with her, Cecilia thought she would never accept it under any circumstances.

...

Just as Cecilia Vaughn was lost in thought, she suddenly heard a deep and magnetic male voice fall by her ear.

"Cecilia, what are you daydreaming about early in the morning?"

Cecilia Vaughn was startled, lifted her head and saw an incredibly handsome face within her gaze, with narrow phoenix eyes and lips as jade-like.

She felt slightly embarrassed, almost having the urge to spit on him, but she was aware that during the later half yesterday, she too had spoken quite a few nonsensical words under his mischief.

A flush spread on Cecilia Vaughn’s cheeks involuntarily, she raised her slender arm like a lotus root, directly pounding Adrian Law’s arm.

"What’s wrong with daydreaming, why do you care about me?"

Raising her arm, Cecilia Vaughn realized she was too naïve just now; her arm was truly too weak, as soft as a ball of cotton.

"Cecilia, you look beautiful even when you’re angry."

A shadow of a meaningful smile crossed the man’s eyes, he directly embraced Cecilia Vaughn’s chin, saw the girl’s widened pupils, and simply seized her lips.

"Hey! I haven’t brushed my teeth yet! Don’t you find it dirty?"

"Cecilia is always sweet."

After dropping this line quickly, the man eagerly drew Cecilia Vaughn’s lips in for a deep kiss, sipping indulgently with the unique and pleasant scent of green bamboo from the man lingering in Cecilia Vaughn’s mouth, making her cheeks flush again unwillingly.

When the man’s hand unknowingly crept to her back, Cecilia Vaughn was suddenly mortified to realize she wasn’t wearing a stitch of clothing, but with the air conditioning on indoors and the warmth of the velveteen thin quilt, she had momentarily forgotten about it.

Seeing the man’s large hand preparing to misbehave again, Cecilia Vaughn quickly gave him a bashful and coy glare, instinctively pulling the thin velvet quilt tightly around herself, refusing to reveal any more delightful scenery.

"I haven’t eaten yet! No mess allowed!"

Wasn’t last night enough?

Cecilia Vaughn was once again embarrassed, truly wondering if Adrian Law was a reincarnation of a hungry wolf from his past life.

Adrian Law, seeing the girl’s serious face, regretfully retracted his hand, though his eyes were still mesmerized by the clavicles appearing on the velvet blanket covering her.

"Cecilia, you can treat me as breakfast... anyway, I don’t mind."

"..."

This shameless scoundrel!

Cecilia Vaughn couldn’t imagine how Adrian Law, under the strict teachings of the Law Family, could still grow into such an unruly manner, and the most fatal thing is, that he seems upright and proper on the outside, yet even saying these words to her, he carries an elegant demeanor like an unparalleled gentle scion.

Cecilia Vaughn could only roll her eyes at the ceiling.

"I’m hungry, do you have anything good to eat? Girls are made of water, men are made of mud, are you trying to make me eat dirt? I won’t have it."

Cecilia mimicked Adrian Law’s style, speaking utter nonsense with a straight face, yet in the end, she couldn’t hold it and her face, originally set firm, broke into a smile.

As for Adrian Law who chuckled, he extended a large hand, unexpectedly taking advantage of Cecilia Vaughn while she lectured him at that moment, lightly pinching twice at Cecilia Vaughn’s clavicle.

"You—"

Cecilia Vaughn’s eyes widened, not expecting Adrian Law to take advantage of her again!

As she was about to explode in frustration, the man’s lips curved into a faint smile and he quickly exited the room.

"My dear, don’t be mad, should I carry you to freshen up?"

"I do have legs of my own!"

Cecilia Vaughn childishly retorted, seemingly shedding her shell of adulthood while being with her beloved, revealing the most childlike aspect of her personality.

...

Cecilia Vaughn spoke as she hurriedly slipped into a robe, feeling slightly embarrassed with her body weightless, but for the sake of proving herself to Adrian Law, she decisively flipped the quilt.

Slipping on a pair of slippers, Cecilia Vaughn then rushed towards the bathroom.

Taking large strides, her back equally straight, feigned courage in every step.

Adrian Law shook his head with a chuckle of resignation, ultimately deciding against bruising Cecilia Vaughn’s pride, opting instead to bring her favorite breakfast from the kitchen.

English toast, honey rolls, along with a glass of milk and a boiled egg.

When Cecilia Vaughn returned from the bathroom, she saw the smiling man waiting by the dining table.

Smelling the aroma of food, Cecilia Vaughn’s discontent dissolved halfway, but for the sake of pretense, she gave Adrian Law an arrogant look.

"My legs are sore."

Adrian Law chuckled once more, following her cue, half-knelt in front of Cecilia Vaughn, gently massaging her calves.

"Does it still hurt?"

...

Cecilia Vaughn hadn’t expected Adrian Law to be so compliant, causing her a bit of embarrassment, so she took a few bites of bread to cover up her guilt.

"It’s still okay... actually... it wasn’t that exhausting."

Just when Cecilia Vaughn was hesitating whether to have Adrian Law stop, suddenly, her phone rang.

Both of them were taken by surprise.

When Cecilia Vaughn looked at her phone, her voice caught in her throat.

It was a call from Director Arthur Chapman!
