Chapter 428: 428: Young Mrs.
Cindy Clarke carried the mooncakes she had made herself.
Little Morgan walked between the two of them, with each of his hands being held by Adrian and Cindy.
Stepping up the three-level staircase and arriving at the entrance of the family mansion, little Morgan couldn’t help but take deep breaths.
The anxiety he felt now was more intense than when he met his father’s friends and playmates the night before.
Seeing that the usually lively little Morgan had become quiet, Adrian bent down to look at the little guy, whose face was serious and tense.
Even Cindy was constantly taking deep breaths, unable to relax at all.
Adrian knew at this moment that no matter how much he assured them that the family elders would surely like them and not to be nervous, it would be useless.
Therefore, Adrian said nothing more.
Before Cindy and little Morgan could react, he had already pressed the doorbell.
Not giving the two a chance to back out.
Now, the arrow was on the string.
Cindy could feel her palms were damp.
She didn’t know if the sweat was hers or little Morgan’s.
Glancing down, she saw that little Morgan had also lost his carefree demeanor from the past.
Cindy’s heart softened, and she gently reassured, “The elders will surely like you.”
Little Morgan, with his face upturned, said, “They’ll like you too, for sure.”
Cindy nodded slowly, seeing that little Morgan managed to force a smile.
Adrian had a headache watching these two scare themselves, yet not knowing how to make them believe that there was really no need to worry.
He could only wait for the Old Madam to comfort them with her actions later on.
After waiting for a good three or four minutes, Butler Howard finally arrived at the door.
As the door slowly opened in front of their eyes, Butler Howard appeared before them.
“Young Master, Mrs.” Butler Howard greeted.
Cindy was stunned.
She never expected that Butler Howard would call her Mrs. as soon as they met!
Not to mention that she hadn’t married Adrian yet.
But Butler Howard’s attitude alone was enough to indicate the attitude of the Zhekova family elders.
Without the approval of the family elders, how could Butler Howard take the initiative to call her Mrs.?
Yet, besides the Old Madam and Victoria Wheeler, no one else had met her.
Had the family elders actually accepted her already?
As Cindy let out a sigh of relief, her anxiety lessened, but she couldn’t help being touched.
The touching emotion came from the acceptance of the elders and their trust in her.
Seeing the emotionally moved look on Cindy’s face, Butler Howard smiled warmly, and then looked down at little Morgan.
“This must be little Morgan, right?” Butler Howard looked at little Morgan with a kind smile.
Adrian had grown up under his watch.
Butler Howard still remembered vividly what Adrian was like as a child.
Now looking at little Morgan, a strong sense of familiarity surged within him.
He was exactly like Adrian when he was a child.
It seemed as if they were transported back to the time when Adrian was a child and Butler Howard followed him around while he played and made noise.
Butler Howard wore a nostalgic expression on his face.
Adrian introduced little Morgan, saying, “Morgan, this is Butler Howard, you can call him Grandfather Howard. Grandfather Howard has watched your dad grow up since he was little.”
“Oh, I dare not, I dare not!” Butler Howard quickly waved his hands.
Little Morgan, of course, would listen to Adrian more.
He obediently said, “Hello, Grandfather Howard.”
The wrinkles around Butler Howard’s eyes deepened as he smiled.
The more he looked at little Morgan, the more he liked him.
“Good, good,” Butler Howard nodded continuously, “Young Master, Mrs., please follow me.”
