Love Me Or Leave Me

CHAPTER 215

“Adrian.” Stacey smiled and walked toward Adrian, surprised that he had come back.

Debra also said happily, “Why are you back today? Where’s your girlfriend?”

As Debra spoke, she sneaked a glance behind him. Unfortunately, she didn’t see her future daughter–in–law, and she was disappointed.

When Isabella was mentioned, Adrian became serious. “Isabella didn’t come back with me. Her situation is a little complicated, but her older sister wants to meet you

all.”

“Sister?” Debra was confused.

Patrick was also surprised. “Her sister wants to meet us? Does that mean this is like a meeting between family? Have you two progressed that far already?”

When Debra heard this, a thought crossed her mind. She instantly snapped back to her senses and realized this had to be a meeting between family!

Her already cheerful mood became even more so. What could be more important than her son’s future? Nothing!

Thinking of this, Debra pulled Adrian to the couch and thoughtfully poured him a glass of water. She hurriedly asked, “Adrian, tell us. What’s going on with you and that girl? How far have you two progressed? When are you planning to get married officially?”

As Debra spoke, she suddenly became anxious and excited. “Right, shouldn’t we start preparing? After our meeting would be the engagement and then the official wedding, right?”

Debra then added excitedly, “We can’t let the girl feel slighted. Whether it’s the engagement or the wedding, we have to make it grand!”

Adrian was at a loss.

He then carefully confessed, “Dad, Mom… Isabella and I… already have a child, a son, who is three years old.”

What?

Patrick and Debra were confused. Their minds went blank, and they stared at him in a daze.

Stacey was also shocked and looked at Adrian in surprise.

They already had a child, and the child was three years old? So, how long had Adrian been with

t girl?

As Adrian thought about it, he began to recount everything that had happened.

Debra was completely unable to react. She stared blankly at Patrick before turning to Stacey, trying to find resonance with her family.

emotional

After a long time, it was Stacey who spoke first. “So Isabella, who will be my sister–in–law, still doesn’t know about our family’s status?”

Adrian turned to Stacey and nodded seriously. “Yes. I’ve already bought an old house near the best school in Hivalis and had it cleaned up. You just need to disguise yourselves a bit and occasionally stay there for a few days.”

The anxious Debra turned to Adrian and asked in a serious tone, Adrian, isn’t it wrong to hide this from her?”

Adrian sighed. “I have no choice. If she finds out about my identity now, she definitely won’t agree to marry me.”

Debra frowned. “But what you’re doing is deceiving her into marriage. Adrian, I don’t support you doing this.”

Stacey thought for a moment and nodded. “I don’t either. I wouldn’t like being lied to either.”

Looking at Debra and Stacey, Adrian inexplicably thought of the last time Isabella said she didn’t like being lied to. Was it true that all women were like this?

Adrian hesitated. “But they really hate rich people…”

Patrick said seriously, “What about the rich guy who assaulted her sister? Adrian, we can’t let this go. Since you want to be with Isabella, we have to stand up for her sister and make sure they’re not bullied.”

Hearing this, Debra and Stacey also agreed.

Adrian said earnestly, “I’m already investigating, but this happened many years ago, and much of the evidence was destroyed by that rich guy back then. I’ve found some thifigs and sent them abroad to be restored. I don’t know if the evidence can be recovered.”

Patrick breathed a sigh of relief. “Okay.”

“Dad, Mom… So, can I trouble you to pretend to be ordinary people for now?” Adrian requested cautiously.

Patrick, Debra, and Stacey didn’t know what to say.

Debra could only helplessly say, “Adrian, it’s not that easy for us to pretend. Your father, Bryce, and I rarely appear in public in front of the media, so it’s easy to get someone to delete our information, but Charlie and Becky…”

Adrian looked at Stacey, who looked back at him.

They exchanged looks but stayed silent.

“How about Becky and Charlie not attend the meeting for now? After some time, I’ll definitely tell Isabella the truth. After that, I’ll formally introduce everyone to her and her family,” Adrian suggested.

Patrick looked at Adrian disapprovingly.

Debra also frowned and asked, “When do you plan to tell her the truth?”

Adrian looked troubled. He hesitated for a long time and finally said, “I’m investigating her sister’s case. If I find concrete evidence, we can help her with the case and send that rich guy to prison. Then, I’ll tell Isabella the truth.”

By then, Isabella and Carly probably wouldn’t hate rich people as much anymore.

After all, not all the rich people were bad.

The living room fell silent, and no one spoke.

After a long time, Patrick said, “Since you’re planning to tell her the truth after helping them with the case, then hurry and get the case overturned as soon as possible. Don’t keep hiding it from them.”

“Yeah, I know,” Adrian immediately agreed.

Thinking of the child Adrian just mentioned, Debra couldn’t help but get excited and hurriedly asked, “Adrian, you just said that you and Isabella… Her name is Isabella, right? The two of you have a three–year–old child? Where is he now? What does he look like? Is he super cute?”

Adrian had a gentle look in his eyes when he thought about Damian. He took out his phone and showed them Damian’s photo.

Debra, Patrick, and Stacey immediately leaned in, curious to see Damian’s photo.

With just one look, all three were stunned.

Stacey was even more surprised. “He looks like Adrian.”

Debra nodded fervently as she looked at Damian. Even just from the photo, she became emotional. She loved her cute grandson already.

“What’s his name?” Debra asked after a while, unable to contain her excitement and curiosity.

“His name is Damian Graham. His mother and aunt gave him that name in hopes that he will be a strong person when he grows up,” Adrian explained.

“Damian? That’s a good name.” Patrick also smiled.

Looking at the child in the photo, who looked almost identical to Adrian, Patrick continued happily, “When are we going to meet them? When we do, we’ll get to see the child, too, right?”
