The next day, Adrian Sutton woke up early to prepare breakfast.
Because the rcer Family had agreed to sign the agreent, Claire rcer had slept very well last night.
After she got up and washed, an exquisite breakfast for two was already set on the dining table.
Freshly made shiitake mushroom and shredded chicken congee, along with a few slices of egg pancake, gave off an enticing aroma.
On the plate, there were also several thin-skinned, juicy soup dumplings.
"Did you prepare all of this yourself?"
"Yes." Adrian Sutton ca out of the kitchen wearing an apron and holding two small bowls.
"The ingredients for breakfast from outside aren’t always fresh, and the preparation process isn’t always clean and hygienic."
"It’s healthier and safer to eat what’s made at ho. Go on, give it a try."
Claire rcer nodded, picked up a soup dumpling, and popped it into her mouth.
She usually didn’t have much of an appetite after waking up in the morning.
But one soup dumpling successfully piqued her appetite.
These soup dumplings were even more fragrant than the ones from the breakfast shops outside, and they were packed full of filling.
She didn’t hold back, eating three soup dumplings in a row.
Afterward, she sincerely praised Adrian Sutton.
"Your cooking is good enough to open a restaurant."
Whether it was breakfast or lunch, everything he made suited her tastes perfectly.
Adrian Sutton’s heart swelled with delight at Claire rcer’s praise.
’It seems I’ve successfully earned Claire’s goodwill.’
’At least she often praises my cooking.’
"That’s not a bad idea. I’ll consider it."
Claire rcer took a sip of the shiitake mushroom and shredded chicken congee, a look of satisfaction on her face.
"You’re making short videos now, gradually building a fanbase."
"If you open a restaurant in the future, it might even beco an internet-famous spot."
Adrian Sutton began to fantasize about the two of them opening a mom-and-pop shop together.
He would cook in the kitchen while she greeted custors out front.
The two of them, loving and harmonious, living a full, busy, and ordinary life every day.
’Whether it’s bringing her into a life of high society or opening a small mom-and-pop shop, as long as Claire is by my side, that’s the life I hope for.’
"If I do open a restaurant then, would you be able to co and help ?"
Claire rcer nodded. "If I have the ti, it’s not out of the question."
"But that’s on the condition that neither of us has found a suitable partner by then."
Adrian Sutton wanted to say that she was the one he wanted to spend the rest of his life with.
And that she was the most suitable person in the world for him.
He didn’t dare say it. He knew that if he revealed his feelings, things might get awkward between them.
’For now, just maintaining this kind of life is already wonderful for .’
’I’ll slowly win Claire’s heart. I can’t be too hasty.’
"Alright. If neither of us ets anyone more suitable in the future, we’ll open a small shop together."
Claire rcer nodded at him, eating with relish.
After breakfast, she tidied up a bit and got ready to head to the rcer Family’s ho to sign the agreent.
"Are you heading out?"
"Mhm, I’m going to the rcer Family’s to sign the ’Adoption Termination Agreent’."
"Once this agreent is signed, I’ll have no connection to the rcer Family anymore."
She had long wanted to completely break away from the rcer Family.
Now that they had finally co around, she had to get it done before they could change their minds.
A single day’s delay could introduce unforeseen complications.
She really didn’t want any more entanglents with the rcer Family.
"Do you need to go with you?" Adrian Sutton asked.
He had already gotten a taste of the rcer Family’s insidious thods.
Now, hearing that she was going to the rcer Family’s ho, Adrian Sutton was worried she would be plotted against again.
Claire rcer shook her head. "No need, I’m just going to sign sothing."
"Besides, you have your own things to do. I can’t trouble you every ti."
Adrian Sutton said, "I’m worried the rcer Family will try to pull so sche."
Claire rcer pondered for a mont before saying, "They probably won’t, right?"
"They’ve been swamped with matters concerning the rcer Group lately. They shouldn’t have ti to plot against ."
Adrian Sutton had originally wanted to go with her.
But just then, a call ca in from Hughes.
There was a very important contract at the company that required his personal signature.
He hadn’t been to the company in days, and all his etings had been held secretly in his room.
It was indeed ti for him to pay a visit to the office.
After hanging up, Adrian Sutton said to Claire rcer,
"Alright then. If anything seems off, give a call."
"By the way, will you be back for lunch?"
Claire rcer nodded. "I’m not sure."
"I might go eat with Stella at her modeling class."
"I’ll ssage you beforehand."
Adrian Sutton nodded. "Okay, I’ll wait for your ssage."
With that settled, Claire rcer opened the door to leave.
Adrian Sutton gave her the car keys. "Take my electric car."
"Oh, I couldn’t."
"I don’t need the car today. It’ll be more convenient for you."
"And if you sense sothing’s wrong, you can make a quick getaway, right?"
Claire rcer thought about it and felt he had a point.
It was hard to get a taxi from the rcer Family’s residence. If they tried to pull any tricks, it would be easier for her to retreat in a car.
"You’re right. Thanks, then." Claire rcer gave him a bright smile before heading out the door.
She drove the electric car straight to the rcer Family’s ho.
After she left, Adrian Sutton also went out and headed downstairs.
His private driver was already waiting outside the residential complex in a luxury car.
Hughes was already waiting for him in the car, ticulously reporting on all company matters, big and small.
Adrian Sutton flipped through the various docunts and reports Hughes handed him.
After confirming that all company affairs were proceeding smoothly, he asked Hughes,
"By the way, what’s the progress on acquiring the rcer Group?"
Hughes said, "Originally, Julian rcer had agreed to et with the managent of our subsidiary to discuss the acquisition."
"But for so reason, he suddenly backed out two days ago and refused the acquisition."
Adrian Sutton’s thick brows knitted slightly. "Find out what happened that made him suddenly change his mind."
Hughes said, "I’ve already looked into it. Mr. Lawton of Horizon Group recently approached him."
"And he plans to invest in the rcer Group and start a partnership with them."
Hearing this, Adrian Sutton’s eyes narrowed slightly.
’A company on the verge of bankruptcy, and Horizon Group actually wants to invest in it?’
’Even if he did invest, it would be difficult for his company alone to bring the rcer Group back from the brink.’
’Besides, the rcer Group’s annual profits aren’t great. Why would he think of investing in them?’
’It’s like tossing a pebble into the deep sea—it won’t even make a splash.’
"Go investigate this Mr. Lawton from Horizon Group."
He felt that this Mr. Lawton’s sudden desire to invest in the rcer Group ant he was definitely up to sothing.
’I am determined to give the rcer Group to Claire.’
’I will make every mber of the rcer Family grovel at her feet, dependent on her every whim, begging for scraps like dogs.’
’This is my punishnt for the rcer Family. I won’t let anyone interfere.’
