Chapter 152

The tea had probably steeped for too long, leaving a bitter taste on the tongue that lingered in the throat.

It was hard to imagine that someone like her would have called anyone ‘brother‘ as a child.

Adrian seemed to smile slightly. You couldn’t see anything wrong with his expression; instead, his dark eyes were deep, and his movements became even more polite. “Grandma, my family isn’t that complicated, and no one can make decisions for me. The person I choose won’t be wronged.”

“Hearing you say that, Grandma is relieved.”

After hearing this, the old lady finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew the two of them were definitely hiding something from her, but as long as the big picture was okay, it was fine.

Adrian didn’t end the conversation there. Still maintaining his good manners, he poured the old lady another cup of tea, his gaze passing through the window frame to land on the busy girl inside.

She was in black pants and a white T–shirt, the most ordinary of outfits, yet it couldn’t hide her delicate figure. A wooden decorative hair stick was pinned at the back of her head, further accentuating her long, fair neck.

She was undoubtedly beautiful, the kind of beauty that was extremely eye–catching.

As if noticing his gaze, her eyes met his. Her lips were red, her hair jet–black, creating a look that was both innocent and seductive in its carelessness.

Adrian listened quietly without saying a word.

In his mind, a certain someone seemed not to care about anything.

Logically speaking, at her age, in the prime of her youth, not even fully past her teens, it was

a time for a young girl’s heart to flutter. How could she truly not care about anything?

At this thought, Adrian tightened his grip on the teacup in his hand. His between light and shadow, making it impossible to know what he was thinking.

Inside, Annelise had no idea what the two of them had talked about for so long.

He had even glanced at her.

Was he asking for help?

It didn’t look like a plea for help, more like he had everything under control.

It seemed that after he came clean, he had managed to soothe Grandma’s emotions.

Annelise’s lips curved up. This patient of hers was really something else.

Unlike her, who was shamelessly standing at the front desk while Ruby was looking at her defensively, as if she were some kind of Spirit Monster.

Finally, their conversation ended. The man was the first to walk over, the cool aura around him even stronger than before. His sharply defined, handsome face carried a hint of cold elegance, making the surrounding air feel icy.
