“But 1-” Nadine sounded dispirited.


“You’re foolish. Don’t hide your relationship anymore at this point. Seal the deal as soon as possible. It’d be even better if you can get pregnant and get married quickly.


“Talk to him and find an opportunity for me to meet his family so you can get married as soon as possible.”


Carlene talked endlessly, while Nadine was at a loss for whether to laugh or cry. However, she figured that her mother was right. She was almost thirty and was still single while the rest of her cousins were already married with toddler–aged children. Nadine did not comment further. She figured that she could only go with the flow at this point.


By the afternoon, Carlene had prepared a feast. She was highly enthusiastic because it was her first time hosting her daughter’s guest. She, Adrian, and Nadine sat down together for lunch.


During the meal, Nadine almost could not get a word in edgewise because Carlene was talking Adrian’s ear off throughout the meal. She appeared to be extremely easygoing with Adrian.


Faced with Charlene’s friendly nature, Adrian kept her company at all times by chatting with her.


In the end, Carlene said to Adrian, “Naddy lost her father when she was a child so she grew up without her father’s love, Adrian. However, she has a good personality, is good–tempered, and knows how to compromise. You have to take care of her well when you two are married.”


Adrian nodded in response. Next to him, Nadine’s face blushed scarlet.


After lunch, Nadine was supposed to help Carlene to clean up but Carlene shoned her away, saying, “Naddy, take Adrian on a stroll around the estate. Take a walk and talk to each other. Go, go. Shoo!”


Nadine smiled awkwardly. However, she had heen planning on taking a stroll with Adrian. Upon hearing Carlene’s words, Nadine said, “All right then. We’ll be back soon.”


Upon saying that, Nadine held Adrian’s arm and together, they walked out of the villa.


The Gardner estate spanned over a huge area with villas that were divided into four areas–north, east, south, and west- spread across its ground. All the different branches of Gardners lived in one manor each.


Nadine held Adrian’s arm and walked leisurely through the garden as she said helplessly. “I’m lee– deep in lies. Oh, my life is full of torment! I have no idea how I’m going to tell my mother the truth in the future. I can see that she’s very fond of you.”


Adrian said, “Take me to the area near your grandfather’s residence so that I can take a look and come up with a plan for tonight.”


Nadine’s expression instantly changed drastically and she shoved him away. “Have you lost your mind? You got close to me just so you can sneak into my grandfather’s house? You’ve disappointed me very much.”


Adrian tilted his head, chuckled, and said, “Otherwise? Do you really think I’m going to marry you and vow to love you for the rest of my life?”


Nadine pouted, “Not really, but I am willing to be your mistress. What do you think about that? Consider for a moment and accept me, will you?”


As she was speaking, Nadine narrowed her eyes.


“Let’s talk about serious matters,” said Adrian.


Nadine glared at him and clenched her little, tender fists. “Fine. All you think about is the serious matters. However, mark my words. I will feast on you sooner or later, Adrian Xander!”


Adrian shrugged in response.

Nadine wrapped her arm around Adrian’s arm once again and walked in the direction of the backyard. The backyard used to be her grandfather’s residence.


There was only a row of villas in the backyard, which was different from the courtyard and the front yard. After Nadine’s grandfather passed, very few people would come to the backyard. Only the cleaning staff would come to clean the place daily.


Along the way, Nadine and Adrian bumped into quite a number of other family members. However, those people did not pay much attention to Adrian and quickly walked away.


However, the feeling of strolling with Adrian was the best feeling Nadine had ever felt.
