"What? You've taken a fancy to him?"
"Yes, sort of," Adriana replied.
"He'll definitely be extremely honoured since he's caught your eye, Young Miss. In the future, he'll..."
"Keep it a secret first," Adriana instructed indifferently.
"Of course. Your wish is my command."
"Alright, let's not talk about it anymore. Show up only when I ask you to. I still want to test him," Adriana continued.
"Yes, but... The chief's intentions are clear. If you can't get married to him, don't go to the last base with Chuck. You understand what I mean. I'm sorry, maybe I've said too much. Please don't mind my words."
"I know, I won't be too casual with him," Of course, Adriana would not allow Chuck to do so.
How long have they only known each other for? She was not so open-minded. After all, the bigger the family was, the more strict and disciplined it was.
She could only have one man, and that was her future husband! This was a tradition!
"Alright, but Young Miss, do you need me to do anything?"
"No."
"Yes!" She put the device back into her shoes and changed her clothes.
"I'm done," said Adriana as she walked out.
Chuck was stunned as he stole a glance at her. As a man, he had hidden instincts. Therefore, when he stole the clothes, he unconsciously grabbed the ones which were slightly transparent. Looking at her now, she looked so beautiful.
"What are you looking at?" Adriana raised an eyebrow at him.
"Nothing, it's just that you're as beautiful as my wife," Chuck replied with a smile.
"You're teasing me."
"I didn't, my wife Yve..." Chuck tried to explain. He was just joking around, but he wasn't really trying to flirt with her.
"No need to say any more," Adriana shook her head.
He didn't continue. Now that he could enter restaurants, he brought her into one. However, no one was willing to lend Chuck a phone when he asked around. He was agitated but could do nothing about it.
After lunch, he waited for Adriana's men to arrive. However, even as night approached, they were nowhere to be seen
"Didn't you say that your men would come over?"
"There might be something wrong."
"What kind of secret family is this?"
Chuck was at a loss for words. Was this woman for real? "Fine then, let's get out of here now that we've eaten for free," Chuck picked her up and ran away.
The people in the restaurant chased after them with knives. Since Chuck had regained most of his strength after a meal, it was obviously nothing for him to run away from them even while carrying a woman.
Soon, he found a place to hide.
Adriana chuckled lightly, "This is my first time eating without paying."
"F*ck me, it's my first time as well. Let's look for a place to sleep now," Chuck was exhausted. Fie had not slept well for the past few days, and could finally sleep well for the first time in days now.
"Okay, no problem," Adriana agreed.
Fie found a ruin and went in with her. Just like a gentleman, he laid her down aside and slept by himself. After this incident, he especially missed Yvette.
Fie really, really, missed her.
Naturally, he had no other thoughts about Adriana. If it was the Chuck back when he had just gotten rich, he would've definitely done something by now. After all, no one was around.
Now, he only wanted to sleep.
"You're not going to do anything with me?" Adriana questioned.
Chuck opened his eyes, "Are you messing around with me?"
Didn't this woman say that she was especially dangerous? After all, she was a member of some secret family. It would be better if he didn't provoke her for the time being, otherwise, his mother might become involved as well.
"I'm not messing with you. You're a man and I'm a woman, and we're all adults," Adriana said slowly.
Chuck looked at her strangely. Why was she so confident in whatever she said?
"Forget it, I already have a wife," Chuck closed his eyes and tried to sleep.
"You're not married."
"But I know a girl who grew up with me, and I like her. When I'm old enough, I will marry her," Chuck promised.
Of course.
Yvette had been with him for so long. She had always been the one in his heart. When they got married, he would host the most luxurious and extravagant wedding to let everyone know that Yvette Jordan was Chuck Cannon's wife.
"But you're still not married yet," Adriana continued expressionlessly.
