Never Judge

Chapter 48 - 48

"How about the guest house and the other amenities?" Cedric asked in his disguised voice.

"I'm not touching the extra building and the guest house for the meantime. I want to discuss it further with her. You'll have an infinity pool, a putting green for uncle, and a tennis court for Ayanna. The garage will be able to hold fifty cars, I know you won't have more than that, you aren't Ram." Veronica teased looking at her brother. ??

"What! I like cars!" Ram shrugged.

"For the staff house, each room is spacious, has it's own kitchen and bathroom. There is also a training facility for your body guards." Veronica explained further.

"Your woman is very lucky Mr. Reyes." Adrianna was amazed by the house Mr. Reyes had built for the woman he loved.

"I think she'll like it." Ram told Cedric with a wink. Cedric simply nodded back.

"If that's all we should go back to the aunties. They're the reason you came here right?" Veronica said as she packed up her things.

The group went back to join the Madams' table. When they got there Cedric's mom, Prisiclla, had the food served.

"Did Veronica wow you?" Veronica's mom, Victoria asked Cedric.

"Yes auntie. Even Miss Adrianna liked it." Cedric said in an odd voice that got him confused looks from the Madams.

"Wow, Adrianna you got to see the designs of Miss Veronica for Mr. Reyes." Janine Hernandez said in an attempt to push her niece back into the spotlight.

"Yes. The house was very beautiful!" Adrianna said with a smile. Cedric stared at her and smiled as well, he loved it when she smiled, his goal was to keep her smiling for the rest of their lives.

"See Adrianna, that's what a real man can do. My Mark already bought us a house!" Asia couldn't help but boast about her fiance and put down her cousin's husband.

"Mr. Reyes, our Adrianna is quite a capable woman. Aside from being very pretty she also has a good brain in that head." Janine Hernandez boasted.

"Miss Adrianna, seems to be quite an amazing girl." Priscilla said, of course she knew that the woman they were praising was her daughter in law, so she had nothing against that.

"Sadly Madam she is married to a lazy man!" Janine complained not knowing that Cedric was sitting on the same table.

"Oh?" Amy So-Laurence asked, she had known Cedric since he was in diapers and lazy was the last word anyone would use to describe him.

"My husband is not lazy!" Adrianna said with her fists balled on the side. Cedric wanted to hold her hand to calm her down, but doing so would only make things worse.

"You earn more than your husband Adrianna. You should really end your marriage." Asia suggested.

"Madams please excuse my niece, she doesn't realize what she is saying." Janine Hernandez said apologetically.

"She's defending the man she loves, I see nothing wrong with that." Priscilla said, coming to her daughter-in-law's defense.

"You are the one that is wrong." Lucy Chan scolded the guests.

"Madams I'm sorry if my guests offended you. I'll take them away now." Marivic De Dios apologized.

"It was an honor meeting you Madams." Adrianna smiled as she and her group moved to leave.

"We would love for you to stay, Adrianna." Priscilla invited.

"I'm sorry, Madam, but they rode with me and they won't be able to leave." Adrianna refused politely.

"Then make them wait." Cedric said in a cold manner.

"They are my family sir. If family might not mean the same to you, but I will never abandon my family." Adrianna answered back.

"I like her!" Victoria teased.

"I hope to see you around Adrianna." Priscilla waved goodbye to the only guest she liked.

When Adrianna and her relatives got to the lobby, Janine Hernandez suddenly slapped Adrianna.

"Janine!" Marivic De Dios shouted in surprise.

"We were here to get the Reyes heir's mother to want you and you wasted all our efforts!" Janine slapped her niece again on the other cheek.

"I'm a married woman, do you expect me to cheat!" Adrianna answered her back.

"The world already knows that the Reyes heir likes you! You are the only woman that refused to accept this." Janine raised her hand again to slap her niece when a man's hand stopped her.

Janine was surprised to see the Reyes heir standing behind her. With him were Ram and Veronica Abad.

"Not even my mom slaps me, and yet you slap your niece?" Ram asked from behind.

Cedric pushed Janine Hernandez away and picked Adrianna up bridal style.

"Let go of me! You pervert!" Adrianna tried to jump out of Cedric's arms.

Cedric held her tightly and refused to let her go.

"Throw them out, and ban them from ever stepping foot in Nationalia again!" Cedric ordered Leon.

Leon nodded and called security, he also gave Ian a call to ask for his help in banning the Hernandez's.

Cedric took Adrianna to his car and sat next to her.

"Drive." Cedric ordered.

The driver nodded and drove them home, Ian who was in the front seat remained silent.

"Let me down! This is kidnapping! I'm going to jump out of this car if you don't let me go!" Adrianna kicked and shouted.

"No." Cedric said coldly.

"People will talk! I'm a married woman! Where are you taking me?" Adrianna asked.

"Miss Adrianna we are taking you home." Ian spoke from the front seat.

"My car." Adrianna remembered.

"I'll have someone take care of it." Ian said looking back with a smile.

Cedric turned to face Adrianna. He gently touched her cheek, but Adrianna slapped his hand away.

"Don't you dare touch me!" She shouted angrily.

Cedric laughed.

"Pass by a convenience store for ice." Ian instructed the driver. He already knew what his boss wanted.
