CHAPTER 176: CHAPTER 176: FOR THE SAKE OF CONTINUING THE BLOODLINE

Summer Sutton awkwardly tugged at the corner of her mouth, "That’s necessary."

Adrian Walyon’s face darkened.

With a serious expression, he reminded, "I don’t need it."

"It doesn’t hurt to have a little extra support." Summer Sutton didn’t take his words seriously as she stepped past him and entered the house.

Adrian Walyon stood rigidly in place, his forehead throbbing intensely.

What on earth had he done to make her have such a misconception today?

...

The next day at Sutton Gardens.

Summer Sutton’s words last night were just offhand remarks; she hadn’t really taken any action.

Adrian Walyon was youthful and energetic; even if he were ever exhausted, Summer Sutton believed he would quickly bounce back.

Yet, unexpectedly, someone else had thought this through even more thoroughly than she had.

Diana Wood personally made a pot of sea cucumber soup the next day, bringing it over to boost his health.

Expressionless as she entered the house, Diana placed the soup she brought on the table, glancing around the room.

Since Adrian Walyon got married, she rarely visited here.

She came today purely to see how the couple’s life was going.

Adrian Walyon’s villa had changed a lot since Summer Sutton moved in. Not to mention, all the servants originally residing there to take care of things had been sent away.

The whole villa housed only the couple.

Diana looked around the room repeatedly, unable to help but frown.

With a stern face, she disapproved of Adrian Walyon’s action of dismissing the servants, "Don’t go overboard, you two. No kids, why make such a fuss every day?"

Adrian Walyon was particularly displeased with her remark. No kids, so couldn’t he live a married life?

This sounded like marriage was solely for the purpose of carrying on the family line.

Adrian Walyon felt Diana was purely bored and came looking for trouble!

Summer Sutton felt nothing, knowing that even if Diana didn’t say it aloud, many people in such large families thought this way.

Before marriage, she even suspected Adrian Walyon’s true reason for marrying her might just be for the sake of having children.

"Mom, if there’s nothing else, you should head back! Summer and I are doing great, no need to worry." Barely two minutes after Diana entered, Adrian Walyon promptly issued a polite dismissal.

Diana’s brows furrowed instantly, her face fell.

"Oh, visiting as a mother, and you already find me an eyesore?" Stretching her voice, she mocked sharply.

Adrian Walyon internally thought, isn’t it just that?

Afraid she’d continue endlessly, he withheld that comment, "Didn’t you already finish looking?"

His tone decidedly unwelcoming, Diana grew resentful towards him.

"Fine, fine. Once a son marries, essentially he’s someone else’s. I’m leaving, I’m leaving!" With a rigid face, she left displeased.

Adrian Walyon hadn’t even had breakfast yet, staring at the soup she brought over on the dining table, frowning repeatedly.

Summer Sutton leaned in to take a peek, cautiously watching his reaction, "Your mom is quite considerate!"

Adrian Walyon shot her a sharp glance.

"Drink? Do you want me to serve it for you?" Summer Sutton asked again.

Adrian Walyon’s face turned even darker.

Summer Sutton pursed her lips; judging by his expression, he surely wouldn’t consume such stuff.

Yet the soup, which had been prepared and brought over, couldn’t simply be wasted, right?

Being such an expensive item, Summer Sutton, sticking to principles of frugality, ended up drinking the soup herself as a beauty tonic.

...

Nearly a month’s winter vacation ended, and today Summer Sutton returned to school.

On the first day back at school, the faculty assigned a task to the students in her major—to film a short video.

Working in groups, Summer Sutton’s team included one male student.
