NOVPUBChapter 1051: Chapter 1051: I Mainly Miss You_1 Chapter 1051 -1051: I Mainly Miss You_1 “You’re back!” Cindy Clarke exclaimed in surprise, suddenly wide awake with no trace of sleepiness.
She immediately rushed towards Adrian Zhekova.
As Adrian caught Cindy, he smoothly used her momentum to lean back, ending with Cindy sprawled on top of him.
Cindy clung to his neck, burrowing herself as much into his embrace as possible.
After she snuggled him for a good while, she inhaled his scent again and again from inside his arms.
“You never expressed that you missed me.
I thought you didn’t miss me at all,” Adrian said, holding Cindy in his arms.
...
Seeing her so excited, he knew without asking that she missed him a lot.
His mood improved significantly.
“You’re busy.
Even if I say I miss you, will you be able to come back?” Cindy said, “I was just worried that you would think I’m too clingy and inconsiderate.
I didn’t want to bother you while you were busy.”
“How could that be,” Adrian reassured her, “While I’m at work, as soon as I see a message from you my spirits lift.”
“If you don’t express that you miss me, I’d feel down.
I’d get the impression that you don’t need me to return quickly, which will make me lack the motivation to work,” Adrian revealed.
Upon hearing this, Cindy thought that the man indeed had a knack for blaming others first.
It seemed that the fact he didn’t come back sooner was her fault now!
Without any hesitation, Cindy twisted his chest a bit, “That’s a bit thick, even for you!”
“When I messaged you today asking when you would be back, why didn’t you respond?” Cindy complained.
Adrian defended himself, “I was on the plane at that time.
I couldn’t use data onboard, and though there was Wi-Fi, the connection wasn’t great, so I didn’t connect.
I only saw your message after disembarking.”
With his arms around Cindy, Adrian said, “But I originally planned to surprise you.”
He added a bit pitifully, “Even though you never expressed that you missed me, I truly missed you.
So regardless of whether or not you missed me, I hurried to finish my work and rush back to see you.”
Adrian then sighed, “You have no idea, I was worried that I might be too clingy, always outside your eyes, not traveling much for work, so that you might grow tired of seeing me, hence, not wanting to see me anymore.”
“Even if I am gone for a long time, you don’t seem to be affected; you don’t even miss me,” Adrian said with a sad face.
“I even took a selfie yesterday to see if I’ve become old and unattractive, no longer able to appeal to you.”
“I even considered sharing the selfie so you could tell me what’s not good about how I look anymore.
But I was afraid that you might find it annoying,” Adrian said, sounding very pitiful.
Cindy: “…”
This man really can be too much!
After such a short time apart, his ability to act pitiful improved leaps and bounds!
Not holding back, Cindy slapped his chest, “Stop acting pitiful!
Who said I didn’t miss you!”
“When you’re not at home, it feels so empty, that’s why I brought Morgan here to stay.
Otherwise, me and Morgan would feel so lonely together at home,” Cindy admitted.
“From now on, unless it’s unavoidable, don’t go on such long business trips,” Cindy said.
She then rested her face on his chest, where she could clearly hear his heartbeat.
It was particularly comforting.
“Okay,” Adrian complied, “If I really do have to take an extended business trip, I’ll bring you along.
After all, you have a flexible job, so it won’t hinder anything.
Plus, experiencing different parts of the world and their local cuisine could give you a great deal of inspiration.”
Cindy thought about it and it made sense.
As for Morgan, she wasn’t worried.
Morgan is adaptable and not the type of child who can’t cope without his parents.
With the grandparents here, Morgan really wouldn’t have much time to miss them.
“Okay,” Cindy agreed readily, “Let’s stick to this plan.”
“Therefore, in the future, you must tell me when you miss me.
How could saying you miss me interfere with my work?” Adrian said, “In contrast, if you don’t tell me, I’d be distracted from missing you and lose focus on work.”
“Okay, I understand,” Cindy said.
Adrian sat on a long flight back home and was still adjusting to the time difference.
So, even though they say ‘absence makes the heart grow fonder,’ he really didn’t have the energy to do anything else at the moment.
Right now, Adrian simply looked forward to holding Cindy and chatting with her.
At this moment, it was morning at the place where he had been on a business trip.
So, Adrian wasn’t sleepy at all now.
He said to Cindy, “I woke you up earlier, you can continue to sleep.”
“Are you sleepy?” Cindy asked first.
“I’m still dealing with the time zone difference, so I’m not sleepy now,” Adrian said.
“I’m not sleepy either,” Cindy said.
“You were clearly deep asleep just now,” Adrian worried that Cindy was forcing herself to stay up to keep him company.
“But after seeing you, I’m not sleepy at all now,” Cindy snuggled into his arms a bit more.
Her movement was like a kitten seeking for affection.
Cindy then hmphed, “You said I didn’t miss you.
Now that I see you, I’m wide awake.
I don’t even want to sleep.”
Adrian toyed with Cindy’s hair, “Then shall we chat?
If you feel sleepy, you must sleep.
Don’t force yourself to stay awake for me.”
“Alright,” Cindy nodded, “Do you think I’d stand on ceremony with you?”
They were husband and wife now, there was no need for manners.
“By the way, did you see Morgan?” Cindy suddenly thought of and asked.
“Not yet, I’ll see him tomorrow.
It’s all the same,” Adrian dismissed it casually, “Most importantly, I missed you.”
After a woman gives birth, she unconsciously prioritizes her child.
However, when her husband prioritizes her, she can’t help but feel pleased.
Cindy then laughed and asked, “How was your trip?
Did everything go smoothly?”
“Since I personally handled it, of course, it was successful.” Adrian couldn’t resist showing off to Cindy, to let her know how capable he was.
However, Adrian wasn’t bluffing.
When he took matters into his own hands, those people were helpless and quickly admitted defeat.
They only resisted a bit when it came to the conditions he proposed, but in the end, they couldn’t refuse.
“I knew you were the best,” Cindy praised wholeheartedly.
Adrian was so pleased his eyebrows shot up, then he asked her, “What about you?
How was everything at home during my absence?
Did something happen?”
Because of the time zone difference, they weren’t able to have a proper chat.
When he was free, it would be late at night where she was.
During the daytime, he had to work.
They couldn’t even have a convenient text chat let alone a video call.
They could only leave messages for each other, but they never managed to have a proper and smooth conversation.
