"This one is..." Adrian Zhekova picked up another one.
This one was different from the one Cindy Clarke had written herself; this one was obviously a photocopy.
Cindy explained, "This is the family recipe I mentioned before. It's not the original, though. The original is too old and the paper would have been damaged by now. So this is a photocopy. However, in our family, it's all that's left."
Suddenly, Adrian's face turned serious. "Your mother and sister sold you for just this?"
He refused to acknowledge them as Cindy's mother and sister, referring to them only as "those two women."
Although it was their greed that, through chance and misfortune, led to his meeting with Cindy and adopting Morgan Zhekova.
But that was their good luck.
What if there hadn't been a mistake?
Thinking of Mr. Lopez's disgusting appearance and how he almost ruined someone as good as Cindy, Adrian's heart tightened.
His gaze fixed on Cindy, as if he was afraid of losing her.
