Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 1679: Chapter 1669: He Knew What That Look Meant

So after a brief moment of anger, she quickly snapped back to reality, sharply seeing through the essence beneath the illusion.

Mrs. Sinclair thought she had seen through his intentions.

Unexpectedly, the man on the sofa was even calmer than she imagined. He just raised his eyebrows and looked at her in surprise, saying, “Are you talking about Olivia?”

He responded noncommittally, “I did think about it before, but now we’ve already broken up.”

…

Mrs. Sinclair vaguely felt that his expression was different when he mentioned Olivia’s name.

But taking a closer look, she couldn’t discern anything.

Adam had the same look as someone who really had no plans to get married and was entirely unwilling to discuss it.

This really gave Mrs. Sinclair a headache.

Compared to Adam switching internet celebrities like changing clothes, she was more worried about his unwillingness to get married.

She stayed in the villa for nearly two hours, no matter how she probed or hinted at him in conversation. Adam’s stance remained the same—no plans to get married, too much hassle, never thought about it.

In the end, she couldn’t hold back her temper any longer and stormed out angrily.

Auntie Merry had been serving tea and listening to the entire conversation. She watched in concern as Mrs. Sinclair stormed out, then turned her gaze back to the young master on the sofa.

She saw the young master change from his unyielding stance in front of the madam, rubbing his temples tiredly, his brows furrowed as if extremely fatigued.

“Auntie Merry, make me a cup of coffee.” Listening to the nagging for two hours had given him a headache.

“Alright.”

Auntie Merry moved quickly, and soon brought a cup of coffee over to him.

Adam picked up the coffee cup and took a sip of the hot coffee. Finally, his pale lips showed a hint of color.

Auntie Merry, seeing his exhausted face and knowing how busy he had been lately, softly said, “Young Master, you haven’t eaten yet, have you? I’ll make you something to eat, you should have something.”

At her words, Adam remembered the fish and tofu he bought at the supermarket in the kitchen.

Unfortunately, the person he wanted to have dinner with had already left.

His temples, which had just eased a little, tensed up again.

He curled his fingers and tapped the marble tabletop, planning his next move in his mind. Immersed in his thoughts, Auntie Merry didn’t disturb him and waited quietly for his response.

When Adam came to his senses again, he lifted his eyes and noticed her. The tense line of his jaw relaxed slightly, and he softly said, “Alright, go ahead. I’d like to have Boiled Fish and Mapo Tofu.”

Aren’t those Ms. Lewis’s favorite dishes?

Auntie Merry sighed in her heart but kept a smile on her face. “Sure thing, I’ll go make them right away, young master. You can eat in half an hour.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“That’s my job.”

Auntie Merry went into the kitchen.

Adam tapped the tabletop a few more times and made a call to his secretary, confirming that Olivia had been safely sent back to the hotel. He then called the producer and instructed to delay the start of filming. Finally, he spoke to the director, telling him to replace the internet celebrity who he had previously arranged to join the crew, before putting down the phone.

He bowed his head and opened the message page on his phone.

The most prominent message was one from Tiffany, filled with complaints. He opened the chat.

Immediately, he saw the photos Tiffany had secretly taken.

In the picture, the woman’s face was full of a radiant smile as she turned her head to speak to the man beside her. Although he didn’t speak, his gaze remained fixed on her.

As a man, he knew exactly what that kind of look meant.
