CHAPTER 18: CHAPTER 18: PREFERS HIM TO TAKE ACTION PERSONALLY

"Please sit!" Diana Wood scrutinized her thoroughly, smiled, and was quite satisfied with her.

The father and daughter sat down, making four people in the living room, and they continued chatting about many things.

They talked about the Old Master of the Walyon Family and Summer Sutton’s grandfather, discussed the Sutton Family’s company, and talked about Adrian Walyon.

When Adrian Walyon was mentioned, Diana Wood suddenly blurted out, "Gina, do you remember Adrian? You came to our house when you were very young, so you must have met him!"

"Huh?" Gina Sutton was stunned.

When she was very young?

This was her first time coming to the Walyon Family; as a child, she never came here. The person Diana Wood mentioned wasn’t her.

Her mind only reacted slightly, quickly realizing that Diana Wood probably couldn’t tell her apart from Summer Sutton.

Gina Sutton’s hand around the teacup tightened slightly, her smile stiffened, but soon returned to natural.

"Auntie, I was way too young then!" she said awkwardly, glossing over the matter.

"Indeed." Diana Wood felt she was being a bit forceful.

What could such a young child remember?

Moving past this, she started talking about other things.

Gina Sutton and her father spent quite a long time at the Walyon Family and only left after dinner.

Diana Wood initially had the household staff call Adrian Walyon, hoping he’d come back to meet Gina, but Adrian declined using the excuse of being too busy.

Adrian didn’t even get to meet Gina Sutton, so Diana Wood didn’t immediately agree to the marriage proposal, planning to invite the father and daughter again when Adrian was available.

...

Sutton Gardens.

The name of Adrian Walyon’s private villa, named by the developers during its purchase.

Now, with Summer Sutton moving in, the originally hollow name seemed to suddenly have a soul.

Sutton Gardens, a villa bearing her surname, stood quietly here as if destined to await her arrival.

At this moment in the villa, Summer Sutton was surrounded by a large group of people, being measured.

After her previous escape attempt, Adrian Walyon couldn’t be bothered to leave the house, and instead invited heaps of designers over, intending for everything she needed to be custom-made for her at home.

Summer Sutton had no intention of staying here long-term and refused to cooperate.

"I’ve said so many times it’s unnecessary! Don’t you understand?" After being tugged around by this group for almost three hours, her patience was nearly worn out.

She spoke sternly, and the group seemed intimidated, stopping their actions and turned their eyes one by one towards Adrian Walyon sitting nearby.

"You all may leave!" Adrian Walyon ordered coldly without difficulty, and the group of designers quietly exited the room.

Summer Sutton breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she was free, but Adrian Walyon locked the room door behind him and stepped towards her.

His pace was slow, his gaze fixed on her face, footsteps measured and steady.

Summer Sutton retreated a few steps, her guard suddenly raised, "What do you intend to do?"

Adrian Walyon cornered her against the wall, turning her around, pressing her against it. His tall body leaned in from behind, his hand lifting her clothes and reaching inside.

"If you don’t want them doing the measuring, I think Miss Sutton will prefer me doing it personally!" His aim was direct, hand moving towards a specific area.

The straightforwardness of his actions made Summer Sutton’s face flush red instantly.
