NOVPUBChapter 1050: Chapter 1050: Don’t Deserve to Know the Family Password_1 Chapter 1050 -1050: Don’t Deserve to Know the Family Password_1 As soon as the plane landed and stabilized, Adrian Zhekova quickly connected his mobile phone to the internet.
He then saw the message Cindy Clarke had sent.
Adrian chuckled as he read the message on his phone screen.
During their previous chats, Cindy never asked him when he would be back.
Adrian thought that Cindy didn’t miss him.
He even considered if his absence was too infrequent and short.
If he spent too much time at home, maybe his time away did not mean as much to Cindy.
...
Perhaps she was even experiencing aesthetic fatigue from seeing him too often, leading to his recent prolonged period away on a business trip.
Yet, Cindy showed no reaction to this.
Due to the time difference, their usual chats could not be as quick as before, where they could respond to one another almost immediately.
Often when she asked something, it would take him some time to see and respond.
In situations like this, having a normal conversation was impossible.
They could only leave messages for each other and reply when they had the chance.
Both of them did this.
During this time, Cindy didn’t express her longing for him.
Adrian even stroked his chin, guessing if their relationship had quickly transitioned to a routine, old-couple kind of relationship.
Adrian took several selfies, using the original camera app.
Looking at those selfies, he felt he was still as handsome as ever, with no drop in his attractiveness.
However, he didn’t dare to send the selfies to Cindy.
What if she was indeed tiring of him?
Seeing his photos might make her miss him even less.
Adrian had been spending all his time wrestling wits with foreigners, and the rest of his time pondering these things.
Unexpectedly, he saw the message after landing.
Turns out, Cindy really missed him.
She must have missed him but refrained from saying it.
Looking at Cindy’s message, Adrian beamed happily.
Since it was the middle of the night when he returned, combined with jet lag, and the fatigue of being on an airplane for ten hours, everyone, regardless of being in the first class or economy class, wore an exhausted look.
Sleep on an airplane, even when possible, was uncomfortable.
Now everyone was in a rush, just wanting to go home or to the hotel to rest as soon as possible.
No one paid much attention to others.
“CEO,” greeted Cleave Roland as he saw Adrian, hastily relieving Adrian of his luggage and leading him to the parking lot.
Adrian didn’t reply to Cindy’s message because he intended to surprise her.
However, on his way, he kept his eyes on the message Cindy sent, lest he misses anything.
Luckily, there weren’t many cars or people on the road at midnight.
The traffic lights didn’t change frequently.
So, he reached the family mansion in fifty minutes.
Cleave Roland quietly took the luggage out from the trunk.
“You can leave now.
Come pick me up early tomorrow,” Adrian said.
“Okay.” So, Cleave Roland left in Adrian’s car.
Adrian, standing at the doorway, keyed in the passcode for the door.
Old Madam used to withhold the passcode from him, feeling that he didn’t deserve to have it.
Her exact words were: “Unmarried, you’re not entitled to know the house passcode.”
After getting married, Old Master and Old Madam hoped that the young couple could visit often and ideally spend more time living at the family mansion.
Therefore, out of a fondness that extended to their habitat, they gave Adrian and Cindy the house passcode.
Now, Adrian could enter the family mansion without ringing the doorbell.
Everyone was asleep in the mansion during the night.
Quietly, Adrian entered, dragging his suitcase.
The family mansion, being an ancient house, looked rather creepy at night.
Especially since all the lights were off.
The moonlight was shining on the courtyard rockery, projecting distorted shadows on the ground, making it seem even more eerie.
Adrian, however, was used to it since childhood.
Moreover, the mansion had been specifically blessed by the Xero family.
Though nothing was visible on the surface,
there was a strong positive energy inside.
Therefore, even though some of the projected images appeared scary,
he didn’t actually feel frightened.
Walking inside felt peaceful.
This was the power that the Xero family created.
It didn’t take long for Adrian to reach the courtyard where he and Cindy stayed.
Without asking, he knew that Cindy would be there.
Their little one was living next door, connected to their courtyard by a Crescant Gate, for easy access.
Despite this, Adrian didn’t intend to see his son first.
Even though he had been away for so many days and missed the kid sometimes,
the first person he wanted to see was definitely Cindy.
Adrian left his suitcase in the outer room.
He was afraid that dragging it inside might wake Cindy.
Even though he would be waking her up in a moment anyway.
Adrian cautiously made his way into the room in the dark.
It was summer now and the night air was cool, so Cindy didn’t turn on the air conditioner.
Always having the air conditioner on wasn’t ideal.
Not caring about the electricity costs,
she felt that extensive air conditioner usage was bad for health in the long run and harmful to the environment too.
So, on cool nights, Cindy simply slept with the windows opened.
The tall and wide mosquito net was hung over the bed, allowing chill breeze to blow in from outside.
You could hear the chirping of cicadas outside the window, and the rustle of leaves in the wind.
This was the type of summer night that Cindy liked.
It was something one couldn’t experience when holed up in a room with the air conditioner on.
This gave Adrian the convenience of seeing Cindy under the moonlight as soon as he entered.
Through the mosquito net, he could only see Cindy’s silhouette.
In the daytime, he would definitely be able to see her face clearly.
But because of the lighting now, he couldn’t see clearly.
Adrian carefully lifted a bit of the mosquito net, just enough for him to crawl in.
Once inside, he quickly closed the mosquito net again.
Then, he leaned on his arm and lay by Cindy’s side, silently watching her.
After being away for so many days, he felt extremely satisfied just quietly watching her like this.
People are usually sensitive to somebody continuously watching them while they’re sleeping.
Cindy started feeling this and opened her eyes.
Cindy was sleeping facing the window, her back to Adrian.
Feeling something strange behind her, she turned to look.
But as she had just woken from sleep, her vision was not as clear as Adrian’s.
She could only see an additional silhouette next to her.
She got scared and was about to scream out loud.
Cindy never worried about the security of the family mansion.
Retired secret guards from the Lanarn Training Ground were guarding the family mansion.
It was safer here than anywhere else.
However, the sudden appearance of a person next to her bed was instinctively frightening.
Adrian quickly covered Cindy’s mouth: “Cindy, it’s me.”
Hearing Adrian’s voice, Cindy immediately calmed down.
Now that she was fully awake, sensing the familiar smell of Adrian, she was confirms.
