“However, I agree with your idea.” Adrian Zhekova said, “Striking a balance between safety and individuality is better at this stage.”

“It’s still the early stage of the competition, it’s not yet the time to diverge from the mainstream. Moreover, the judges might simply mean what they say, without expecting any fancy ideas from the contestants.”

“Just like the previous competition where the theme was snacks, what they truly wanted was straightforward snacks. Contestants who tried to prepare gourmet dishes under the guise of ‘snacks’ were all eliminated. So, interpreting the judges’ words for their literal meaning is the right course. Trying to standout with fancy details only outsmarts oneself.”

Cindy Clarke nodded along, reassured by Adrian’s words and agreeing with his viewpoint.

“Then I will use this line of thinking.” Cindy said, “Before now, I was just wondering whether or not I should start with seafood. Because I was unsure about this, that’s why I was hesitating.”

Besides this, so many things hit her all at once after the competition.

There hasn’t been a chance to take a breather.

First, she was confessed to by this man.

And then started to move in today, busy with all the moving house matters.

Thinking about it, she hadn’t had a chance to rest for all of today.

Only now has she genuinely had some spare time.

Having dinner while chatting with Adrian.

Thus, she hasn’t had time to think about the next competition.

Thankfully there are still two weeks left, she still has time to think it over.

“Oh, right, I need to let the nursery know, to stop sending the school bus over.” Cindy suddenly remembered this.

After finishing the meal, Cindy took out the school bus route map.

It turned out that the school bus would pass this area anyway, all because of Adrian’s prime location.

It is a must-pass location for many routes.

Even if the school bus has to change its route, it shouldn’t be troublesome.

Although there are not many students in the class and the school bus will pick up and drop off,

The bus route and timing are all planned according to each family’s address.

When one family makes a change, the route must be redrawn, and the timing for other children will also change.

Some parents might be unhappy with the change in school bus timings.

For example, if the timing is earlier than before, the child will have less sleep, and the parents will be unhappy.

And so on, many issues may arise.

Therefore, changing the school bus route can be quite troublesome.

Adrian listened as Cindy talked about these things, as though they were a couple discussing daily life.

He really liked this feeling and also enjoyed hearing Cindy talk about daily matters.

There always seemed to be an endless list of things to talk about.

“In that case, no need to wait for the school bus anymore, just tell the nursery that you’ve moved and don’t need the school bus. I’ll have Cleave Roland fetch and deliver Morgan.” Adrian said.

“Won’t that be too much of a bother to him?” responded Cindy.

“No, it won’t be a bother. In fact, he is my personal driver. He drives me when I have social engagements or business trips and it’s inconvenient for me to drive. But those occasions aren’t that frequent and most of the time he isn’t busy. Actually, this gives him something to do.” stated Adrian, “Otherwise, it would be a waste to pay him such a hefty salary.”

Once the decision was made, Cindy quickly called Teacher Linda.

Tomorrow is Sunday, and Morgan wouldn’t need to go to the nursery, but it’s always better to give the nursery an early heads up.

Upon hearing that the school bus wouldn’t be necessary anymore, Teacher Linda was quite surprised.

“We’ll have our driver in charge of fetching and delivering Morgan.” Cindy said, “On Monday, could you please familiarize yourself with the driver, Teacher Linda? From now on, besides myself and Adrian, only he will be fetching and delivering Morgan.”

Upon hearing this, Teacher Linda understood.

It seemed the driver worked for Adrian.

She had known about Cindy’s relationship with Adrian for a while now.

She was still surprised to hear about this.

Cindy and Adrian seemed to be getting along even better now.

And look, even Cindy’s son was being taken care of by Adrian, who had even arranged for a personal driver.

Because tomorrow was Sunday, Morgan was allowed to play till 9 pm before going to bed.

Lying on his familiar car-shaped bed, Cindy sat by its side and gently asked, “Will you not be used to sleeping in a new place tonight?”

Morgan wanted to say that he wouldn’t feel unfamiliar because, although the location had changed, the arrangement inside the room hadn’t.

It felt like they hadn’t moved house at all.

However, seeing Adrian next to Cindy, Morgan had a change of mind, he immediately rolled over to the side of the bed, holding on to Cindy’s hand, “I’m slightly unused to it.”

Adrian Zhekova:

“Cindy, how about you stay with me a while?” Morgan asked again, “Tell me a story. It’s been a while since you last told me one.”

It was only then that Cindy noticed, indeed, it had been a while.

Probably because Morgan kept insisting that he was a big boy now and that he could protect her.

And Morgan, to show that he indeed was a big boy, tried to do many things on his own wherever he could.

To look after daily personal needs goes without saying.

He doesn’t need her to coax him to sleep or to urge him to do so.

When the time comes, without her prompting him, he goes back to the bedroom to sleep on his own.

He certainly doesn’t need her to coax him into sleeping or listen to bedtime stories.

Morgan felt that Cindy was always busy.

So, he would prefer to do things on his own and not trouble Cindy.

Morgan is really considerate. He has made do without Cindy cooing over him for quite some time.

Over time, Cindy gradually got used to this.

She got so used to it that she neglected the fact that Morgan, only four years old, still needed to be cooed at times.

When children his age were still being cooed to sleep and still listening to bedtime stories.

She has been neglecting Morgan.

He wasn’t incapable of handling it himself, but he just didn’t want to trouble her.

This familiarity can easily be taken for granted over time.

This time, it served as a wake-up call for Cindy, she felt apologetic towards Morgan.

She is really a poor mother.

“Alright.” Cindy immediately agreed, “I’ll tell you a story and wait till you’re asleep before leaving.”

Morgan was about to happily roll into Cindy’s arms.

Suddenly, Adrian chimed in “I’ll tell the story.”

Morgan and Cindy both looked towards Adrian.

When he saw two pairs of eyes, the same as each other, looking back at him together.

Adrian couldn’t help but hesitate for a moment.

Immediately, Morgan said, “No need, no need.” 𝖋𝔯𝖊𝖊𝖜𝔢𝖇𝔫𝖔𝔳𝔢𝖑.𝖈𝔬𝖒

“Cindy, you tell the story!” Adrian tell a story?

Don’t joke around!

He couldn’t imagine it!

Morgan felt that Adrian simply just didn’t want him sticking to Cindy.

Adrian pretended not to hear Morgan’s words, and gently yet earnestly said to Cindy, “I just started acknowledging our relationship with Morgan, I want to spend more time with him.”

“I haven’t read him a bedtime story before, I haven’t coaxed him to sleep.” Adrian said, “I initially thought Morgan was beyond the age for this. ”

Saying this, Adrian glanced at Morgan.

He saw straight through the child.
