Chapter 153 Liking You

Thump. thump, thump…

Deep and steady, completely unlike his physical condition.

Who could imagine this was a patient who didn’t have long to live?

It was as if that heart was more important than his handsome appearance.

Annelise stopped in her tracks, her eyes lifting slightly.

The man pulled his hand back, looking at something with a smile on his lips. But the next moment, he turned his head and coughed, his lips almost colorless. His sickly appearance was mixed with a sexy danger. “Grandma agreed.”

Agreed?

Annelise was just about to ask what he meant.

The man turned and walked away. In his crisp suit, his back was a striking figure, like something out of a painting.

Annelise followed, thinking he was about to leave.

But he stopped again.

Caught off guard, Annelise bumped her nose into his hard, cold back. All she could smell was that familiar, deep Mind–altering Incense.

“I have to say.”

The man spoke, his tone light, making it impossible to guess his meaning, “Your taste when you were a child… wasn’t very good.”

Annelise: ?

?

“What do you mean?”

Annelise raised a cool eyebrow. He needed to say something she could understand. What did this have to do with her taste?

The man glanced at her then, saying something strange, “But it’s fine for your taste to get better starting now. Just don’t let it get worse again.”

“Hm?”

Annelise smiled, unable to figure him out. “What on earth did you talk about with Grandma?”

The man crooked a finger, beckoning her forward, exuding a cool, scholarly aura.

Annelise didn’t suspect a thing and leaned forward.

Just then, Adrian’s fingers twirled a strand of her hair. The movement was natural, his tone casual. “We talked about your studies. Improving your school grades is my main focus now.” Annelise strongly suspected he was taking a jab at her, and was just about to speak.

The old lady walked over with a chuckle. “Shang is right. From now on, your studies must come first.”

“Shang?”

Annelise’s voice was light and playful. Quite unexpected. Shang?

Adrian didn’t answer her question directly, his voice low. “My courtesy name is Shang.”

The Winthrop family was different from other old money families, founded in a time of turmoil and passed down through generations.

Courtesy names were rare, and no outsider knew that the Patriarch of the Winthrop family of Brookford, Adrian, had the courtesy name Shang.

But the old lady frowned. “Annelise, you mean you don’t know Shang’s name?”

“I didn’t know his courtesy name.

Annelise’s reaction was quick. “I didn’t think of that. I didn’t realize people still used courtesy names these days.”
