Her smile was warm, like sunlight breaking through winter clouds and scattering across the snowy landscape, making her the most striking part in a world of silver.
On the third floor, a figure stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, quietly watching her amuse herself in the garden so happily, his gaze lost focus.
The person by the window lingered his sight on her for a while, until a voice suddenly sounded from behind, "Mr. Walyon, the meeting is ready, everyone is waiting for you to join."
Ryan Walyon snapped back to reality, retracting his gaze from outside.
Walking ahead, he headed towards the meeting room first.
Summer Sutton spent half the day at the company with Adrian Walyon, and after six in the afternoon, Adrian was planning to drive her back to their home, but a call came from the Walyon Family asking them to come over for dinner.
Adrian Walyon turned the car around and directly drove Summer Sutton to the Walyon Family mansion.
Before entering, afraid she might feel uneasy, he instructed her, "Just treat everyone like air and ignore them."
He’s been doing this since he was young.
Summer Sutton was a bit startled, she looked up at him and sighed internally.
No wonder his face is so thick-skinned!
When they went inside together, the rest of the Walyon Family were already present.
Diana Wood sat at the dining table. Seeing Summer Sutton enter with Adrian Walyon and recalling what Gina Sutton had said, her expression turned colder and colder.
She never treated Summer Sutton well, and Summer Sutton didn’t notice any difference about her today.
During the meal, as per Adrian’s advice, she genuinely treated everyone as non-existent, quietly eating her own food.
After dinner, nine o’clock. ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ NoveIꜰire.net
The Old Master said, "It’s so late, since the wedding, you haven’t stayed at home much, stay over tonight!"
His words were not a suggestion but a command.
Adrian Walyon and Summer Sutton had been staying at their villa after marriage and rarely came back, even more rare to stay overnight.
Adrian Walyon contemplated a bit, and decided to stay.
To him, it didn’t matter where he stayed, as long as Summer Sutton was in the bed.
The Old Master sought out Adrian for something to discuss before bed.
Feeling bored, Summer Sutton returned to Adrian’s room, closed the door, and filled the bathtub to the brim, enjoying a flower petal bath comfortably.
The petals were fresh roses, and she picked them all from the greenhouse in the garden while passing by.
A bathtub full of petals, even the water was scented heavily with roses during her bath.
Summer Sutton felt relaxed in her petal bath, but midway through, a question suddenly popped into her head: who planted these flowers?
Were the flowers in the greenhouse carefully nurtured?
She picked them all, would that cause trouble?
At the thought of this, Summer Sutton shivered slightly.
But since they were already picked, she couldn’t possibly put them back one by one, reassuring herself, she continued her bath.
Adrian Walyon entered the room before she was done.
When he opened the bathroom door and walked in, he was momentarily stunned by the vivid scene before him.
Summer Sutton didn’t expect him to return suddenly, panicked, she looked around but couldn’t find a towel to cover herself. Almost without thinking, her first reaction was to submerge herself completely in the water.
Her body was completely covered by petals.
However, after having her head underwater for less than a minute, she suddenly resurfaced.
"Hmm..." Her face was flushed, seemingly struggling from holding her breath.
Adrian Walyon’s gaze slowly moved down her face, finally stopping at her chest.
