Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 586: Chapter 586: Am I Crazy or Stupid?

However, Cindy might not have truly felt what he just said.

Adrian Zhekova held Cindy tightly, “If you don’t mind and aren’t leaving now, then I won’t give you the chance to mind or leave in the future.”

“I’ll tie you to me for my entire life, and no matter what happens, I’ll never let you go.”

He could be selfish.

It had been so hard for him to find such a good girl like Cindy, whom he cherished.

If he lost her, he might never find such a treasure again.

Upon hearing this, Cindy whispered, “I’ve already given you a child, how could I leave?”

Even though it was a whisper, Adrian heard it.

“That’s what you said.” Adrian’s mood was terrific at the moment, “Since you’ve said so, I really will never let go. Never in my life.”

“So…” Cindy flushed, hesitated for a moment, and said, “If you’re sure that even in the future you won’t mind my family’s issues, then… the worry I had doesn’t exist, and the reluctance for us to get married… is gone.”

Adrian was stunned for several seconds before he finally reacted.

“You mean… you agree to marry me?” Adrian was both surprised and delighted, even his voice was trembling a bit.

Cindy could feel that his hand holding hers was also trembling.

With her face red, Cindy nodded, “Actually… you’re right. There will be many more occasions like today in the future. Not just weddings, but Morgan, as a child of the Zhekova family, will have to be taken around to various families, and get to know the elders.”

“At that time, how would we introduce him? As an illegitimate child? With an unclear name and unclear words?” Cindy said.

“It’s not just Morgan.” Adrian added quickly, “And you, too. I want to introduce you to others as my wife. You are my Zhekova family’s daughter-in-law.”

Otherwise, how could he introduce Cindy?

As his fiancée, but how could her child be so big?

He could patiently explain to his close friends and siblings.

But when meeting more people, would he have to explain in so much detail to each one of them?

Moreover, he wasn’t that close to those people, who knows what they would say behind Cindy and Morgan’s backs?

After glancing left and right, Adrian continued, “I should be kneeling and proposing to you right now.”

Cindy got scared and shook her head in a hurry, “No need!”

There was no need to be so formal.

And even if it was just seeing him on one knee, Cindy still didn’t feel right about it.

How could he bend his knee?

Besides, Cindy never cared about such formalities.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have talked quietly with him about the wedding at this time.

If she cared about formalities, she would have found a suitable time and hinted at him before.

But now, when Cindy discussed it with him, it felt like an old married couple.

They didn’t need a romantic proposal surprise; just as long as they discussed it, they could pick a day and go to the Civil Affairs Office to get their marriage license.

Adrian laughed and said, “The current occasion is not quite suitable. After all, it’s Walter and Zhiqing’s wedding. It would be a bit impolite if I suddenly proposed here.”

Cindy breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to say, “No need.”

“We know each other so well, and as long as we agree, it’s fine.” Cindy whispered.

Adrian checked the time and said, “If I suggest we go and get our marriage certificate right now, would you think it’s too hasty and that I’m not taking it seriously?”

“Right now?” Cindy was surprised and could hardly keep her voice down, “But now it’s Walter Wells’ and Zhiqing’s wedding, how can we go and get our marriage certificate?”

“There’s still time, it’s enough.” Adrian said, “We can go, no need to queue up, we can get it done right away.”

Cindy: “…”

“Shall we?” Adrian asked again.

“What about Morgan…” Cindy looked back at the banquet hall.

Morgan was playing happily with Derek Smith and the others.

The kids had a bunch of delicious treats.

Frank Smith was holding a popsicle in one hand and a macaron in the other.

Morgan had a rose-flavored cake in one hand, and a chocolate pie in the other.

Angela Smith had turned her face into a little flowery one from eating.

Cindy’s words were as good as agreeing.

Adrian quickly said, “Leave him in the care of Oliver and the others, they’ll be fine, don’t worry.”

Cindy nodded, “Okay.”

Adrian really didn’t expect Cindy to agree so readily.

He also didn’t expect that he would be able to achieve the marriage he had been yearning for.

What surprised Cindy was that Adrian didn’t immediately grab her and leave.

Instead, he held both of her shoulders with his hands and said seriously, “Think carefully, once you receive the certificate this time, you won’t have a chance to leave, you have to be tied to me for the rest of your life.”

Adrian pondered for a moment and continued, “Even if you regret it later, you still can’t. Even if you get fed up with me, hate me, and don’t want to be with me for a moment, I will still tie you to me.”

“Even if you’re fed up with me, I want you to see my annoying face every day, every moment.” Adrian said.

“Even if—” Adrian didn’t finish.

Because Cindy had already tiptoed and suddenly hugged him.

However, Adrian was really too tall, and even when she tiptoed, she still couldn’t reach his neck.

So she had to lift her hand and put it around Adrian’s neck.

A sudden inspiration came to her, and she remembered how Adrian had kissed her.

She imitated Adrian’s move and flipped her wrist, her soft palm touching the back of his head.

She pressed down on Adrian’s head.

Immediately understanding her unspoken intention, Adrian lowered his head as Cindy kissed his lips.

It took a while before Cindy let go.

Her face was already burning red, and her eyelashes were trembling intensely.

She was breathing unsteadily.

It was unknown whether it was due to extreme nervousness or because of the kiss with him.

She said unsteadily, “I won’t regret it, nor will I be fed up with you.”

“I can’t even imagine what it would be like for me to be fed up with you.” Who would be fed up with him?

Seeing him every second of every day wasn’t enough.

Who could be fed up with him?

“I… I like you so much, how could I be fed up!” Cindy said, feeling a bit wronged, and punched his shoulder lightly, “How could you think of me like that!”

Adrian hugged her waist with both arms, lifting her up.

Her waist was too thin and had little presence in his embrace.

Adrian had to pinch her waist occasionally to make sure he was indeed holding her tightly.

“My mistake.” Adrian chuckled softly, “I just wanted to give you a little warning beforehand.”

“I don’t need it!” Cindy said resolutely, still a little angry.

“I don’t need a warning! Am I crazy or stupid to leave you when you’re so good to me?” Cindy really thought she would have to be crazy to leave him.

“It took me so long to meet you, and I even feel like all the hardships I endured in the first 24 years of my life were for building up the fortune to meet you.” Cindy said.
