Summer Sutton found that whenever she spoke to Adrian Walyon, she could never get the upper hand; no matter what she said, he always had a comeback that left her speechless.
Summer, feeling it was pointless, ended the conversation.
"Dine!" Adrian ordered, gesturing to the spot beside him.
Showing a lot of backbone before him, Summer turned her head away and refused, "I don't want to!" even though she hadn't eaten all night.
Adrian's dining movements slowly stopped, his dark eyes dimmed.
He lifted his face and scanned her sharply, not even giving her a moment to react, he pulled her over.
Adrian didn't waste words with her, pressing her to sit on his lap, he held a glass of milk and forcefully started feeding her, "Drink it!"
Summer pressed her lips tight and refused to cooperate.
Adrian was never one to dawdle in doing things.
With just one round of their confrontation, Summer became afraid of him.
"I can do it myself!" She suddenly pushed him away and, with her head down, grabbed the knife and fork and started eating.
Afterwards, she was very obedient; whatever Adrian pushed in front of her, she ate it all obediently.
Actually, being stubborn with him over such things was pointless, in the end, it was her stomach that suffered.
Anyway, only by being full would she have the energy to continue facing off with him.
Summer ate quickly, wolfing down her food without any care for her image, just wanting to finish quickly and leave the table sooner.
Adrian quietly watched her eat.
His gaze lingered on her face a bit long; Summer didn't know what he was looking at until his hand suddenly reached for her.
Summer instinctively leaned back, trying to avoid him, but his arm hooked around her waist.
Pressing her against him, his hold was firm and assertive.
"What, what do you want to do?" Afraid he might do something unexpected, Summer's heart began to race.
Summer accidentally lost focus for a moment.
Summer was completely stiff, not quite understanding his recent actions.
He actually helped her with such a thing!
"I don't have women's things here, after eating, I'll take you out to choose some." Adrian didn't explain, simply said it lightly.
At the mention of going out, Summer's spirits immediately lifted.
"Okay!" She stopped her dining, readily agreeing, her voice seemed to carry a hint of excitement.
She had been worried about finding a way to leave, going out was good; being outside made it easier to escape.
Adrian squinted his eyes, seeing through her thoughts at a glance.
"Miss Sutton, regarding last night's words, I think I should correct them." Putting down the dining knife, Adrian solemnly warned, "If I discover you trying to escape, for every attempt, when you come back, we'll stay in the room for a day!"
His words were an escalation from last night; last night, it was if she moved a meter away from the villa, they would be confined for an hour, but this time it was directly upgraded to a whole day.
