Lingering Doting Marriage: Big Boss, Little Sweet Heart

Chapter 2611: Chapter 2620: As Long as You’re by My Side, I Can Do Anything

Olivia Lewis pressed her lips in refusal, ”But I’m not ready yet.”

”There’s no need to prepare. My mom has already told you about our family situation—it’s quite complex. You don’t need to balance things out, as it won’t work anyway. Just stand by my side when I need you, that’s all you have to do.”

Adam Sinclair was exceptionally skilled at reading people’s thoughts. He could tell that Olivia Lewis was already wavering, so he added in a deep voice, ”That person is here today too. I hope you’ll stay by my side.”

Olivia Lewis was entirely enveloped in his embrace, breathing in the faint scent of his cologne.

She furrowed her brows as Sydney Sullivan’s comment about the illegitimate child surfaced in her mind, lips pressed into a thin line.

What was going on with the Sinclair Family now? Has the illegitimate child already been openly welcomed into the household?

Her breath caught, and for the first time, she realized what Sydney Sullivan meant about Adam Sinclair being in a tough situation.

Sydney Sullivan had been aware of the child’s existence for a long time and knew that he had a son, but for over twenty years, she has pressured them so much that they didn’t dare acknowledge their ancestry. Yet now, from Adam Sinclair’s words, it’s clear that the other party is no longer content with being kept outside the Sinclair Family and is starting to stir. And judging by the situation, Adam Sinclair’s father seems to be supporting the other side.

An obvious illegitimate child joining the Sinclair Group is like a slap in Adam Sinclair’s face and also shakes his position as the sole heir of the family.

Adam Sinclair lowered his head, taking in her changing expressions, his eyes as deep as a well trying to draw her in, speaking in a hoarse, tempting low voice, ”Olivia Lewis, come with me, okay?”

Olivia Lewis frowned deeply, raising her head to look at him, her beautiful eyes full of hesitation.

She was hesitating!

Adam Sinclair’s dark eyes were shadowy, sinking inch by inch, deliberately revealing a vulnerable side.

He knew this woman was strong-headed but soft-hearted; if you go hard on her, she can be harder than you, like a stone in a pit.

To persuade her, he could only go soft.

”Olivia...” He persisted, his eyes showing a plea, gripping her wrist to urge her to make a decision quickly.

It must be said, this psychological battle struck Olivia Lewis’s soft spot. Her originally wavering gaze was completely shaken by his final plea, ”I can go with you, but I’m afraid...”

She feared that instead of helping him, she might end up dragging him down.

Adam Sinclair knew her too well, his thin lips curling into a charming smile with Peach Blossom Eyes, ”There’s nothing you need to fear. As long as you’re by my side, I can do anything.”

Olivia Lewis was amused by his words, rolling her eyes and smiling, ”Oh really? I can’t believe you’ll manage to grab a public display of affection from the patrons just because I’m next to you.”

Adam Sinclair, ”...” The golden retriever she had was very protective of its food, not letting anyone near when it was eating, except Olivia Lewis. It would bite anyone who dared to approach.

She completely relaxed, looking up at the man before her, ”You said it yourself, if I’m by your side, you can do anything.”

”Not including fighting the dog for food.” Adam Sinclair saw her relax, so he relaxed as well, feeling much better. He wasn’t angry when Olivia teased him; instead, he raised an eyebrow, gracefully releasing her from his arms, taking her hand and saying, ”Let’s go, it’s almost time for the ribbon-cutting; let’s get in the car.”

”OK.” Olivia Lewis was not someone who would mope or wallow; since she agreed to go with Adam Sinclair to meet his Dad, she’d go with confidence and poise.
