Free Web NovelChapter 294: Chapter 294: Cecilia, You’re My Enchantress
Cecilia Vaughn pushed open the door of Starfall Bay, and in an instant, she was stunned by the scene inside.
The girl poked the man’s arm in amazement, her almond eyes soft as water, adorned with a hint of helpless smile.
"Adrian, are you sure you didn’t move the entire flower shop here? This is too..."
She didn’t even know how to address Adrian Law anymore!
—Although she knew this man was extremely extravagant, spending money like this was quite unnecessary!
The vast courtyard was filled with blooming flowers.
There were bird of paradise flowers nearly half the height of a person, large clusters of blue and purple irises, and pale pink lilies with fresh dewdrops.
As for the roses, they were countless and came in red, white, purple, champagne...
Any color you could imagine was present here.
...
In response to the girl’s teasing, Adrian Law smiled placidly. He wrapped his slender arm around her shoulder, his deep, magnetic voice resonating in the courtyard.
"Do you like it?"
Facing the man’s intense gaze, Cecilia wanted to mischievously shake her head, but upon seeing the flowers, she realized she was no different from any ordinary woman.
Even though she playfully scolded Adrian for buying so many flowers that took up space, just looking and smelling them made her feel relaxed and delighted.
Unable to lie against her heart, she grudgingly nodded.
"I like it..."
After a brief pause, she wrinkled her delicate nose.
"But so many flowers, it’s truly wasteful..."
Adrian lowered his head slightly, his frank and open gaze locked onto Cecilia’s charming face.
"Wasteful? I don’t think so."
He reached out and gently flicked Cecilia’s slightly wrinkled nose.
"As long as it makes Cecilia happy, these flowers have value in blooming. As they say, a lady’s smile is priceless."
Adrian paused, his voice growing solemn.
"Cecilia, I can tell you’ve been upset about Mimi lately. I just hope that, no matter when, you can be carefree."
Carefree?
Is there really anyone who can live so freely in this world?
Cecilia couldn’t help but peek out from Adrian’s embrace, meeting his indulgent eyes.
His gaze was like a summer night’s sky, completely different from his usual aloofness, with a silent emotion flowing within.
This man...
Cecilia felt warmth in her heart, she slightly lifted her toes, her slender form embracing Adrian back.
"Adrian, it’s great to have you around."
"Mrs. Law can’t be without me by her side. Do you only understand this now? You’ll have to live by it from now on."
"There are many bad people in this world, and only by staying by your husband’s side can you ensure a peaceful and joyous life."
Adrian smiled contentedly, his porcelain-white, slender hand running through Cecilia’s black hair, smoothing it gently.
—Bound together as husband and wife, love without doubt, these lines surfaced in Adrian’s mind, never having much feeling until now, but at this moment, they struck a chord in his heart.
...
Only by staying by his side can she ensure a peaceful and joyous life?
It’s a shame this man doesn’t go into brainwashing.
Cecilia’s lips curved into a smile, instantly blooming like a flower.
"I must say, Mr. Law, if you were born in ancient times, you would be a foolish king, like King Yurok with Circe."
Adrian gazed deeply at her, his fingers still entwined in her shiny black hair.
"Cecilia...I’m not King Yurok."
"Why not?"
Cecilia thought he didn’t like being compared to a foolish king.
But Adrian, with righteous seriousness, stole a kiss by her cheek.
"Circe always refused to smile for King Yurok, showing it wasn’t true love. If I had to be a foolish king, I’d be King Tyrannus with Delilah. Cecilia, you just happily be my fox spirit, Weak Water has three thousand, I only take a scoop."
What a twisted logic!
And yet, he explained it so convincingly!
Calling her a fox spirit...
Cecilia’s cheeks heated, she playfully punched Adrian on the shoulder.
"Get out of here, I’m not Delilah, and you’re not allowed to be King Tyrannus..."
As a child, Cecilia watched an animated show "Nereus Legend", and her impressions of King Tyrannus and Delilah remained there.
Though, with Adrian’s reminder, in that story, the two notorious figures, dubbed foolish king and enchantress by later generations, were truly in love.
...
Seeing Cecilia laughing from the heart, Adrian’s brows eased as well.
"Do you want to know what the other surprise is?"
Cecilia hated people who beat around the bush, so she rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"Speak plainly..."
Yet, Adrian merely looked at her with a determined smile, unwilling to reveal the answer, and under his deep and far-reaching gaze, she suddenly realized a possibility!
In an instant, her eyes lit up like fireworks, dazzling and bright.
"Is it that Mimi’s tongue can be saved?"
Seeing his wife’s joyful expression, Adrian’s lips also arched into a subtle curve.
"Yes, Zion said Dr. John from Vesperia has figured out how to develop an artificial cat tongue. Within a week, it will be in trial use."
Cecilia’s throat felt as if filled with sugar, a bit astringent, yet sweet.
"That’s wonderful... absolutely wonderful..."
Mimi can be saved, at this moment, no news could make her happier.
"I’ve helped you solve such a big problem, shouldn’t Mrs. Law reward her husband?"
Adrian’s gaze burned into Cecilia, making her playfully punch his arm once more.
"In your dreams, oh, what are you doing—"
Before she finished her sentence, Adrian lifted her by the waist, depositing her into the Bugatti Veyron in one swift motion.
Lowering the car window, he strongly fastened her seatbelt.
"..."
Cecilia was speechless: "What are you planning now?"
"It’s a secret."
Adrian’s handsome face wore a bewitching smile: "I’m taking you somewhere."
...
Another secret.
Just how many surprises await her today?
What surprised Cecilia even more was yet to come.
They hit the highway, and over an hour later, appeared at an estate in Crestfall City.
In the midst of winter, there were still vast fields of sunflowers, like a golden ocean, reflecting the evening glow, almost dreamy.
"Do you like it?"
Adrian embraced her waist from behind, unsurprisingly capturing the astonishment in her eyes.
"Adrian, is this estate yours too?"
"It wasn’t before, but it is today."
—Ah, the world of the wealthy, so capricious.
Cecilia was filled with wonder, completely forgetting that she was now also the head of the Radiant Group.
"Cecilia, let’s finish what we left unfinished in the car..."
Adrian looked at her with a teasing smile, and before Cecilia realized, he sealed her lips with his...
