Chapter 556: A Girl’s Most Precious Thing

Seeing the figures outside the window from afar, Rosalind White froze in shock!

No, she must be seeing things.

Just last night, Adrian Law was still entwined around her, whispering about how fragrant she was.

In fact, Rosalind vaguely remembers the strong waist of the man and his English-spoken "I love you."

Such romantic words.

Rosalind knew how reserved and low-key Adrian Law was, and a man like him would definitely be too shy to confess to his beloved girl in Chinese.

Adrian’s English was also very pleasant.

Hearing "I LOVE YOU," Rosalind felt her soul merging with the man in front of her.

...

Thinking about everything that happened last night, the unease in Rosalind’s heart gradually faded, turning into the sweetness of being with her loved one.

No, Adrian’s words were almost as good as gold, it’s impossible that he would break his promise so easily.

She originally wanted to rush down and question him, but she felt uncomfortable overall.

She staggered towards the bathroom and took a quick shower.

There was no time for makeup, but since Cecilia Vaughn generally went bare-faced, Rosalind looked at her charming reflection in the mirror, knowing she was glowing beautifully from a man’s love. Even without makeup, she surpassed others.

With this confidence, Rosalind pulled a dress from the wardrobe, threw on a coat, and hurried downstairs.

...

Adrian Law and Cecilia were still downstairs, standing closely together. Even without speaking, they exuded an intimacy that others could not penetrate.

"Adrian... Adrian, so you’re here, Rosalind was worried all morning when she couldn’t find you..."

Rosalind shyly raised her head and walked towards them slowly.

Even though the winter wind was strong, she deliberately didn’t wear a scarf because Adrian had left many love marks on her neck, small red marks that could make any woman jealous.

However, to Rosalind’s surprise, Cecilia just glanced at her indifferently, as if she noticed nothing, and turned her head.

Adrian merely swept a casual glance at her face, nodded slightly, and didn’t bother to comment.

...

A strange fear gripped Rosalind’s heart.

She timidly reached out to grab Adrian’s sleeve.

"Adrian, why aren’t you talking to Rosalind? Do you remember your promise to Rosalind last night?"

It’s said that a man’s tongue is deceitful, but Rosalind believed that Adrian Law was an exception because from a young age, he never promised anything he couldn’t deliver.

A man of integrity, that’s what someone like Adrian Law should embody.

...

So... Adrian would never betray her, right?

Adrian coldly glanced at her, and as if absent-mindedly, took Cecilia’s hand and gently asked.

"What did I promise you last night?"

"I..."

Tears welled up in Rosalind’s eyes, glistening as she looked at him like a heartbroken woman, both sad and mournful.

"Adrian, how can you expect Rosalind to say it out loud? Look at Rosalind’s neck and arms... Aren’t you planning to take responsibility for Rosalind?"

Rosalind bit her lip and carelessly pulled up her sleeve, revealing red marks on her arms.

Those were obviously marks of a woman loved by a man.

Rosalind thought these would at least provoke a response from Adrian, or, at the very least, make Cecilia comprehend her relationship with Adrian, causing her to withdraw voluntarily.

But to Rosalind’s surprise, Cecilia widened her eyes in astonishment.

"Miss White? Did some poisonous insect bite you? Hmm, strange, I remember that Stellerton University shouldn’t have mosquitoes in winter, maybe it was something more poisonous. Miss White, do you want to go to the hospital? Your arm and neck are all red and swollen..."

"It looks quite disturbing."

In the end, Cecilia couldn’t help but chuckle.

...

Seeing the peculiar expression on her face, the subtle feeling in Rosalind’s heart grew strong.

But she couldn’t pinpoint why she had this illusion.

"Are you saying that these marks on me were made by an insect?"

Cecilia put on a straight face.

"Exactly, I got bitten like that by a poisonous insect when I was little. Miss White, maybe you should go to the hospital? Haven’t you felt weak, dizzy, and low-spirited? Wanting to sit down and rest..."

She indeed had these symptoms.

But...

This was clearly the aftermath of her and Adrian being passionately entwined last night, both indulged together for too long.

Rosalind was both embarrassed and angry, glaring at Cecilia with annoyance.

"Cecilia, if you can’t see, don’t make random judgments, okay? These marks on me are clearly from last night with Adrian and..."

"What happened between you last night?"

Cecilia feigned ignorance, looking between Rosalind and Adrian.

"Cecilia, what are you trying to ask? Last night I wasn’t with you..."

Seeing Adrian about to clarify, Cecilia quickly stopped him.

"Yeah, you said you had something to do last night and went out, so I found a place to rest myself, discussing with Mr. Adams for so long and not wanting to disturb you when I returned."

Rosalind looked at Cecilia suspiciously, seeing her bright eyes with no hint of feeling wronged by being bullied.

"You said you were with Mr. Adams last night?"

Could it be that Mr. Adams, who seemed to like women, was actually impotent?

Otherwise, why could Cecilia be standing here perfectly fine?

...

Cecilia smiled and shook her head.

"Miss White, be mindful of your words. Last night, Mr. Adams and I were merely discussing some tool usage as friends."

Yes, like how to use pepper spray.

Cecilia silently added in her heart.

"But I quickly found a hotel to rest by myself. Don’t imply that I stayed with him alone."

"..."

Rosalind showed a hint of disappointment. If Cecilia had something going on with Mr. Adams, her situation today would be much better.

"Adrian... I didn’t come here to talk about sister-in-law; I came to tell you... Last night, I already gave you what I wanted to, don’t you understand my feelings yet?"
