Summer Sutton furrowed her brows doubtfully.
But, aside from that reason, she really didn’t know how else to explain it.
Summer Sutton didn’t pay much attention, and started searching for flights with her phone.
She originally thought that after the holiday, tickets would be much easier to get.
Who knew, for the next four or five days, they were all still booked out.
She checked train tickets next, only to find it was even worse than flights — not available for at least a week.
"Tickets are gone!" Adrian Walyon looked at her phone, stretched out the word to remind her.
"Looks like you’ll have to stay." Adrian Walyon nonchalantly adjusted his collar, a faint smile touching his lips.
Summer Sutton was quite helpless. Without a private jet, she really had no choice but to stay.
Whenever they were alone at home, Adrian Walyon always had some ideas about doing that kind of thing.
Summer Sutton didn’t want to play along with him, so she called Zoe Baxter, planning to invite her out. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Adrian Walyon saw she was about to leave. He casually fiddled with his phone and called after her, "Don’t go out!"
"Something up?" Summer Sutton turned to look at him. Follow current novᴇls on n0velfire.net
What could Adrian Walyon have to do?
He just wanted to be alone with her and enjoy some couple time together.
He beckoned her over with a finger and started negotiating, "If you don’t go, I’ll carry you to Star."
Star is a rank in the game Honor of Kings, already considered quite high.
Summer Sutton paused, mid-shoe-wearing, her eyes lighting up.
But, adhering to the principle of not giving in too easily, she resolutely refused, "I’ve already agreed to meet with Baxter."
"Reach Strongest King in one afternoon!" Adrian Walyon continued to tempt.
This rank is even higher than Star.
Strongest King, Summer Sutton’s great dream since she started playing the game.
Unfortunately, her gaming skills were too lacking; after over a thousand matches, she was still at beginner level.
Summer Sutton stared blankly at him for a while, struggled with herself, then took off her shoes and switched to slippers.
In the end, she was convinced by him.
Summer Sutton just couldn’t resist his temptations.
"Actually, hanging out with friends can happen anytime, it’s not that important," she explained to herself, sitting down beside him.
Adrian Walyon gave a small smile and started gaming with a secondary account.
Summer Sutton could only play the simplest game characters, while Adrian Walyon used the flashiest and easiest ones to rank up with.
Summer Sutton’s character was one called Lupan, while Adrian Walyon played the high-difficulty Mr. Lee.
Summer Sutton’s character was stubby with short legs, slow and often an easy target for enemy players.
As soon as the game started, she got ambushed three times, to the point where she almost couldn’t play anymore.
The fourth time was worse, as a character wielding a broadsword chased her a long distance.
Chased almost to her base, her pursuer still didn’t relent. Summer Sutton panicked, not knowing what she was thinking, and blurted out, "Hubby, save me!"
The enemy’s sword was about to strike. Summer Sutton held her breath, thinking she was doomed, when Adrian Walyon, dressed in white, suddenly appeared in front of her. Before she even understood what happened, her pursuer was lying on the ground.
Summer Sutton was in shock for a few seconds, incredulously looking at Adrian Walyon, stunned.
She hadn’t even known where Adrian had been a second ago.
She hadn’t expected calling him hubby would be so effective...
