Chapter 595
Carlene was ovee by emotion as she began to look at Adrian up and down.
He had a towering figure and exuded a masculine, strong, and unyielding presence. Like a huge
mountain, he exuded an extremely powerful air just by standing there,
Carlene’s first impression of Adrian was that he was a man of steel will. Men these days had a clean,
tidy look. In fact, many look even more beautiful than women these days.
She was under the assumption that her daughter would be attracted to beautiful–looking men.
However, her mind quickly changed upon seeing Adrian. It was apparent that the man before her was a
steel–willed man who was masculine and handsome.
Carlene’s mother fell into a daze at the sight of Adrian. Noticing her mother’s expression, Nadine knew
that her mother had already approved of Adrian..
“Please allow me to introduce you, Mother. This is Adrian Xander.
“Adrian, this is my mother, Carlene Bleu,” Nadine said.
“Hello, Mrs Carlene,” Adrian greeted.
Carlene was jolted back to reality. She said with a bright smile on her face, “You’re here, Naddy. P–
Please, sit. I’ll get you guys some coffee. Oh, you even brought gifts with you?
Carlene hastily lifted the gifts out of Adrian’s arms and ced them on the table.
Nadine pulled Adrian to the sofa and whispered, “You’re going to spend the rest of your day here. We
can spring into action at night. You’ll have to figure out some way to not be discovered by Uncle Chase.
“But then again, you won’t be afraid of Uncle Chase even if he discovers you, right? You are the legate,
after all.”
Adrian lowered his head, leaned in close to Nadine, and whispered into her ear, “I can’t turn hostile
against your uncle for the time being. Firstly, I don’t have a reason to eliminate him. Secondly, other
people will be implicated if we were to go against
Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
each other.
“What I need is an opportunity, so we can’t allow Internal Affairs to find out about this, okay?”
Nadine made an okay gesture and nodded.
They leaned very close to each other because they were whispering to each other. Carlene peeked at
them as she was pouring coffee and felt joy bloom in her heart. She had not expected her daughter’s
rtionship with this man to have already progressed to this level of intimacy.
She came back with the tray of coffee and said, “Adrian, I’m not partial to coffee so we don’t have good
ones in the house. I hope you don’t mind.”
Adrian chuckled and said, “Mrs. Charlene, I’m not a big fan of coffee either. Water would’ve been just
fine.”
Carlene sat down with a smile across her face, flipped her hair back, and said to him, “Adrian, I have
some questions for you. How many siblings do you have? Are your parents still doing well?”
These were questions that a mother–inw would ask during the process of screening her son–inw.
After all, a mother naturally wanted to know about her daughter’s boyfriend’s family conditions.
Nadine smiled at Adrian and gently punched him.
Adrian did not mind and answered, “Ma’am, I have two younger sisters with the youngest being
eighteen. However, she’s my mother’s adoptive dauter. My father passed away many years ago and
I currently live with my mother.”
“I see,” Carlene was slightly stunned. “How did your father pass away so young?”
Adrian said smilingly, “He was a virologist and was exposed to a virus from a container while doing
research to find a cure for cancer in theboratory. The virus infected his lungs and he passed shortly
after due to lung failure.”
Carlene inhaled sharply and said, “Your father sounds like an amazing man. It’s a pity he has passed.
You mentioned that your mother has an adopted child. She must be very kind and a good mother.”
“Oh right, is she Christian?”
Adrian thought about it and answered, “She’s a devout believer of Saint Eliner.”
“Saint Elmer?”
Carlene was enlightened. “Oh right, you have a St. Elmer’s Church in Swallowston. In truth, I go to
church often as well. Nadine’s father passed away young too and I raised her on my own. It wasn’t
always easy.”
