Chapter 170 - 170: 170: Want to Give You a Surprise
This week, Adrian was so busy that he was hardly seen. Even the tickets for the major competition were delivered by Sheldon Rowland.
Cindy Clarke and Adrian Zhekova could only stay in touch through Whatsapp.
After Cindy received the tickets, she asked Peggy Lewis if she wanted to go.
“Of course I’m going! I want to go to all of your competitions!” Peggy Lewis immediately replied, “Such an important event for you, how can I not be there?”
Cindy Clarke smiled and said, “Then I’ll bring you the tickets.”
“By the way, where’s Morgan? Isn’t the little one clamoring to go? I’ll pick him up then,” Peggy Lewis added.
“No need, I’ve already told Adrian Zhekova, Sheldon Rowland will take him too.” Cindy Clarke explained, ‘You can go directly to the racecourse, no need to make a detour.”
“So you two are pretty close now, huh?” Peggy Lewis chuckled, “What’s going on between you?”
“What situation?” Cindy Clarke muttered awkwardly, her eyes drifting away for a moment, “Just… kind of like a divorced couple without feelings, occasionally meeting for the sake of the child?”
Peggy Lewis: “…”
Who knows what kind of mood Adrian Zhekova would be in if he heard Cindy Clarke’s conclusion.
In the blink of an eye, it was the night before the competition.
Thursday.
Cindy Clarke was sorting out the recipes she had made.
The recipes recorded some of the cuisine she had researched and improved.
Looking back through them now, she could find some inspiration.
At this moment, Cindy suddenly heard the sound of her door opening.
Cindy Clarke was startled.
It was now 22:43 at night, and Morgan had been asleep for a while.
Without thinking, Cindy quickly rushed out of her room and locked Morgan’s room first.
Fortunately, Morgan’s room was just across the hall from hers, so it was on the way.
In case it was a thief-breaking in, at least she could protect Morgan in his bedroom.
Cindy nervously clutched her mobile phone, already inputting “911” and ready to dial at any moment.
But her home had a fingerprint lock. How could someone enter without making a sound?
Cindy nervously clenched her hand, tiptoed, and peeked out around the wall with both eyes to the door.
As a result, she saw a tall figure standing at the door.
Looking at the figure, it seemed very familiar.
Then, with a “snap,” the person turned on the light in the living room.
As the living room lit up, Cindy finally saw who it was.
“Adrian Zhekova!” Cindy sighed with relief, then got angry and rushed over.
Without thinking, she slapped his arm.
It actually hurt quite a bit.
Adrian Zhekova instinctively rubbed his arm, but Cindy slapped him again.
Adrian Zhekova didn’t dare dodge, not knowing why she was angry, so he let her vent first.
“What’s going on?” Adrian Zhekova asked while being hit by Cindy, looking somewhat embarrassed.
‘Why didn’t you give me a heads up?! You scared me to death!” Cindy’s face turned red with anger, “I thought a thief had broken in.”
“You scared me to death!”
Only then did Adrian Zhekova notice that Cindy was trembling, and even her voice had a hint of trembling.
Adrian Zhekova didn’t care to think any further. He pulled Cindy into his arms and gently patted her back, soothing her.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I didn’t give you a heads up. I can open the door myself, right? So I just scanned my fingerprint and came in.” Adrian Zhekova apologized, “I wanted to give you a surprise, but it ended up being a scare..”
