Chapter 1079: Chapter 1079: She Wants to Return to the Country
"With words like these, you might deceive the person beside you," Aurelia laughed, "Being a member of the country would mean being restricted by you, and I am not someone who likes to be restricted. Therefore, I must decline your offer, though I appreciate your kindness."
This woman...
Is genuinely not just ordinarily clever.
"Do you think Mason Nightshade can protect you for your entire life?" Adrian Cooper countered.
Aurelia: "Whether he can protect me for a lifetime, I do not know, but I am certain he will never abandon me."
"As for whether he can protect me or not?"
"I can protect myself, so why would I need to rely on someone else?"
"..." Adrian Cooper found himself at a loss for words.
Glancing at the sulking little girl beside him, staring at him with her big, red eyes, Adrian Cooper sighed silently in his heart; he still liked this girl.
This kind of domineering woman, he truly did not like.
"Since you have already decided, I will not insist. As for the matter of returning to Country Z," Adrian Cooper paused for a moment, "I will arrange for your journey back to Country Z, but as for going to find Mason Nightshade, that cannot be allowed."
Aurelia hung up the phone and put it back into her pocket.
"Aurelia, are you planning to come back?" Hadrian Turner inquired.
He didn’t mean to eavesdrop, but he hasn’t figured out how to make calls directly with the headset, only that it can be broadcasted through a third party.
Hadrian Turner hesitated a moment, "Aurelia, about what they injected into you before, you should let Mason check that for you, I’m sure Mason and his people have a way to handle it."
Hadrian Turner had been paying full attention to every detail coming from the headset, afraid he’d miss anything, he deduced from the sound that they had injected Aurelia with something.
And just now when Aurelia felt unwell, it was because the injection’s effects were manifesting.
"I will handle this myself, but do not inform anyone else about this matter," Aurelia replied.
Hadrian Turner: "I understand."
...
Presidential suite.
Adrian Cooper had just set down his phone when Ava Thompson slowly inched over, her red eyes looking at Adrian Cooper with a hint of expectancy, "What did Aurelia say? Is she coming back? Hmph! Adrian, you big meanie, why did you hang up the phone? I haven’t even had a chance to talk to Aurelia yet!"
Adrian Cooper raised an eyebrow and said in a calm voice, "I already gave you enough time to talk earlier."
"That was not enough! We barely said two words before you took the phone away!" Ava Thompson put her hands on her hips, fuming and with her cheeks puffed out.
Adrian Cooper lifted his clear eyes to look at the puffed-up cheeks of the girl who belonged to him, and in a soft voice said, "If I gave the phone to you, with your temperament, you wouldn’t obediently have your lunch.
When she returns, you can chat with her then, as long as it doesn’t interfere with your regular routine."
"Come on, sit down and have lunch."
"Brother Adrian, you’re so domineering," Ava Thompson accused, puffing out her cheeks.
Adrian Cooper stood up, his eyes dark and moving, taking two steps to approach Ava Thompson, he bowed his head to gaze at her.
Ava Thompson swallowed nervously.
Adrian Cooper bent down to pick her up and place her on the sofa, kneeling on one knee on the sofa, his deep and burning eyes focused on her rosy little mouth, lips curving into a subtle smile, "Little girl, has it been a few days without punishment, and now you’re behaving so willfully? Hmm?"
"Brother Adrian, what are you going to do?" Ava Thompson’s face was flushed with heat, her heart beating rapidly in her chest, she bit her lip.
Adrian Cooper leaned down to kiss her, and with a low, indistinct voice said, "You’re tempting me."
