CHAPTER 24: CHAPTER 24: WHAT I WANT IS YOU, WILL YOU GIVE YOURSELF TO ME?

Summer Sutton’s eyes flickered as her mind raced. "Adrian Walyon, we’ve only known each other for two or three days. I still don’t know you at all. You should give me some time."

Just two or three days of knowing each other, and he wants her to be with a man, she can’t do it!

"What do you want to know about me?" Adrian Walyon’s arms propped up on either side of her, trapping her beneath him, his tone lazy. "Inner or outer?"

Inner?

Summer Sutton shivered, and her mind automatically conjured images of eight-pack abs and alluring v-line, as well as various skills.

His tone was so idle, it surely wasn’t anything good.

"You should let me first understand what kind of person you are!" Summer Sutton emphasized, lifting her face.

Adrian Walyon seemed surprised she would say that, his expression froze for a moment, and his tone inexplicably softened, "You want to understand?"

Summer Sutton actually didn’t want to. To her, he was still a stranger, had nothing to do with her. Understanding him bore no meaning for her.

However, she was very aware of the current situation. She didn’t have the leeway to say she didn’t want to.

If she dared to say she didn’t want to at this moment, wouldn’t she be foolish?

Her bright eyes looked at him, she very seriously nodded, "Yes!"

"Where do you want to start?" Adrian Walyon’s face leaned towards her, his lips almost touching hers.

The sudden tenderness made Summer Sutton extremely uncomfortable.

Before his lips could touch hers, she timely extended her hand to block his lips.

Adrian Walyon seemed slightly annoyed, grabbed her hand and forcefully bit down on her hand.

Summer Sutton felt pain but didn’t dare to speak up.

"Let’s talk about our marriage first!" Allowing him to kiss her hand, Summer Sutton seriously expressed her opinion, "The two of us don’t know each other at all, suddenly you appear and suddenly say you want to marry me. Honestly, is there something you want from me? If there is, say it, I can just give it to you directly!"

She had asked this question before.

Adrian Walyon’s answer at that time, Summer Sutton naturally didn’t believe.

She mulled it over time and again, still feeling he had a motive for marrying her.

She was suspecting he had designs on her!

Adrian Walyon’s expression subtly darkened.

In the dimly lit room, his eyes were jet black, like cold stars in a night sky.

Staring at her for a while, he spoke slowly, "If I say, what I want is you, would you give it?"

Summer Sutton was stunned, silent for a long time.

Adrian Walyon lost interest with her response, his body withdrew from hers.

"Sleep, or continue!" He pulled her into his arms, embraced her from behind, and coldly commanded.

"I’m so tired, I’ll sleep first!" Summer Sutton was scared by him, she feigned a yawn and immediately closed her eyes.

The room fell silent once again.

At this point, Summer Sutton truly was tired and was too lazy to bother with Adrian Walyon, falling asleep quickly.

The autumn in River City was already somewhat cold, and the temperature dropped even further after nightfall.

In the middle of the night, as she slept, perhaps feeling single-mindedly—cold, she instinctively turned her body and edged closer to the only source of warmth in the bed.

Like a little rabbit frozen in the winter night, she obediently snuggled into the other person’s embrace, opened her arms, and gently hugged the person beside her.

Adrian Walyon woke up at her movement, glanced at her in his arms, and allowed her...

Summer Sutton woke up a bit early the next day.

Upon waking, the maple leaves outside the window were gradually red, and autumn light was just right.
