Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 280: Chapter 280: Can it be Considered as Mending a Broken Mirror to Reflect as Before?

Translator: 549690339

“Who…who said we were married!” Cindy Clarke suddenly blurted out, “Tell me, would you consider us equals now, or is it fair to say we are like a broken mirror mended?”

Adrian Zhekova:

He genuinely wanted to crack open this girl’s head and see what kind of wiring she had inside!

“Broken what now!” Adrian snorted dismissively, “We aren’t broken in any way!

Stop speaking such inauspicious words!”

Cindy chuckled awkwardly, slapping her mouth in jest. However, Adrian caught her wrist, stopping her movement.

“Are you a fool? Stop hitting yourself.” Adrian helplessly pulled back her wrist.

He quickly gave her a peck on the lips.

Cindy shyly giggled.

It’s not like she was really hurting herself, she wasn’t putting any force into it.

“However, speaking of breaking, I did indeed break your…” Adrian didn’t finish his sentence, as Cindy pinched him sharply.

“Ouch!” Adrian winced in pain, Cindy’s pinch packed quite the punch.

“Why so harsh?” Adrian rubbed his waist.

” serves you right!” Cindy felt that her cheeks had been flushed all evening.

Adrian couldn’t help but laugh. He pulled her close: “I now realize that no amount of pampering seems enough for you.”

Caught off guard by his sudden words, Cindy nestled against his chest, absorbing his scent. She could even feel her ears trembling slightly.

Then she nuzzled her cheek against his chest before lowering her head to steal a laugh.

But all her reactions were clearly seen by Adrian.

He lowered his head, his lips landing precisely on her exposed temple.

Cindy instinctively reached out to hold Adrian’s waist.

This was the first time she ever felt so cherished and protected by someone.

From childhood, it goes without saying that the likes of Christy Xenos and Wendy Clarke never made her feel this way.

Joshua Clarke truly loved her.

Joshua Clarke loved Wendy, too.

Johsua was fair to both her and Wendy.

Yet, while Joshua was fair, Christy wasn’t.

Indeed, Christy would throw a fit whenever she saw Joshua treating them equally.

Whatever Cindy had, Joshua had to give more to Wendy.

Cindy could live without what Wendy had.

But whatever Cindy had, Wendy must always have more.

On top of that, the household finances were under Christy’s tight control.

In their family’s restaurant, Joshua handled the kitchen work, while Christy handled the cash register.

So, Christy knew every detail of the restaurant’s financial situation.

Besides providing Joshua with some pocket money each month, everything else was tightly held in Christy’s hand.

It was impossible for Joshua to get anything from the restaurant’s income.

He could only save from his pocket money and occasionally give some to Cindy.

But whatever he gave Cindy, he also had to give to Wendy.

Cindy didn’t expect Joshua to treat her differently, as they both were his children, after all.

Still, she couldn’t help but feel unhappy.

She never knew what it was like to be held in someone’s palm and protected in their embrace.

She had no idea what that felt like.

But now, she knows.

Actually, she has known for a while.

Since she met Adrian, he has always been protecting her.

So, during the competition, when Zoe Silverstone wouldn’t let go of the mask issue, Cindy immediately called Adrian.

Because deep down, before she even realized it, she had started to depend on Adrian.

Now, she truly knows what it feels like to be protected. No matter if she is happy, sad, or in trouble, she has someone to talk to, someone to rely on..
