Translator: 549690339

Morgan Clarke tried to lean forward, but Adrian Zhekova’s newly installed child safety seat was just too secure.

The seatbelt held him firmly in place, and he could only lean forward a little before being stopped by the safety restraint.

Morgan covered his face in surprise and asked, “Uncle, do you… do you really like me that much?”

He thought Adrian was going to tease him again.

Unexpectedly, Adrian looked back and softly smiled at him, “Yes, I do. I like you very much.”

The little guy was stunned.

His uncle must have some ulterior motive!

“You… you don’t think you can win Cindy over just like that!” Morgan puffed out his cheeks and said.

It must be Adrian’s scheme, but he saw through it!

Adrian: “…”

What on earth was this bratty kid’s problem?

To be nice to him was to be accused of an ulterior motive!

Cindy overheard the conversation and giggled.

Adrian looked at her, both amused and frustrated, “This little guy is so mean to me, and you’re not even helping.”

Cindy smiled and said, “It’s all because he inherited his dad’s temperament.”

Adrian paused for a moment, then his face broke into a gentle smile, his eyes curving ever so slightly with joy.

He looked so tender and alluring.

Adrian just smiled at Cindy and didn’t say anything, but it seemed as if many words had already been spoken through his gaze.

Cindy didn’t know why, but she felt her face turn red under his tender gaze.

Adrian only said, “You should still help a little.”

Morgan, sitting in the back, looked at Adrian and then at the blushing Cindy.

Something seemed off.

What sort of mystery were these two trying to solve?

What had he missed?

Why couldn’t he understand what they were saying?

Cindy, still blushing, felt her heartbeat quicken as Adrian started to drive away.

They arrived at the racecourse and parked the car, then the three of them ran into Peggy Lewis at the entrance.

She was waiting at the gate for them.

When she saw Cindy and Morgan, she immediately waved to them and said, “Cindy! Morgan!”

Cindy introduced her to Adrian.

After Peggy greeted Adrian, she went right over to Morgan.

Morgan tried to walk between Cindy and Adrian, but Peggy stopped him.

“Where do you think you’re going? Walk with your godmother.” She had the feeling this little guy was trying to sabotage Cindy’s love life.

Morgan glanced at Adrian and Cindy walking ahead together, then looked at Peggy and whispered, “But I’m scared Uncle will take advantage of my Cindy!”

Peggy:

She always thought this little guy was too clever for his own good.

To make it easier to speak with him, Peggy simply picked him up.

Morgan immediately protested, “Godmother, put me down! I can walk by myself! ”

“Just wait a moment, there’s no one else here. They won’t see you being carried.” Peggy really did know Morgan well.

Morgan looked around and, seeing that no one was there, stopped trying to wriggle free.

“How come you’re so concerned about saving face, little guy? It’s perfectly normal for a four-year-old child to be carried around.” Peggy teased.contemporary romance

“I’m a big kid now!” Morgan immediately protested.

“Yes, yes, you’re a big kid.” Peggy nodded hastily, “I just wanted to whisper something to you. It’s easier to talk when I’m holding you.”

Peggy didn’t dare mention that the little guy was too short, fearing it would hurt his feelings..
