Swept Into a Fairytale Marriage

Chapter 94 Mr. Locke is a Little Upset Tonight

All afternoon, Farrah searched everywhere but couldn’t find her wedding ring. Her anxiety grew, and her mind felt clouded.

She understood the importance of the ring; it was incredibly valuable! Philip had gotten it custom–made herself, so it couldn’t be lost!

With this in mind, she could not focus on her creative work, so she didn’t stay in the office to work. overtime. Instead, she kept retracing her steps, but it was to no avail. What else could she do?

By 8:00 pm, as darkness fell, Farrah returned home feeling utterly defeated.

When she opened the door, she saw Adrian sitting on the couch, his gaze fixed on her with an intensity that suggested he was waiting for her. He seemed ready to interrogate her.

A sense of foreboding washed over her as she greeted him with a smile, “Have you eaten yet?”

“Why did you throw away the ring?” Adrian’s serious expression bore down on her, his eyes piercing into her innocent face with a hint of coldness.

Farrah was momentarily stunned as she met his gaze.

His deep voice was as frigid as a winter’s day, carrying an undeniable authority. “Even if you’re dissatisfied with me, there’s no need to throw away a ring that Grandpa had custom–made. It’s not just expensive; it also carries Grandpa’s sentiments!”

“No, please let me explain.” She hurriedly approached him. “I-‘

He raised his gaze, his eyes indifferent and dark. “I’m giving you a chance to explain, but I won’t allow you to lie!”

“Adrian, where’s the ring?” Farrah felt flustered, knowing he must have found it.

He stared at her, his cold eyes narrowing slightly as he leaned forward and casually tossed the ring onto the coffee table.

At that moment, Farrah’s heart was washed over in relief. The weight lifted off her chest the moment she saw the ring.

Stepping closer, she bent down to retrieve it and placed it back on her finger. “I heard everyone at the office talking about you wearing a wedding ring and was worried it would draw attention to me, so I took it off and put it in my pocket. I didn’t think I’d lose it, and I’ve been searching for it ever since.”

Adrian, perceptive as always, could tell she wasn’t lying, but he wasn’t pleased with her actions. “How could you carelessly lose something so precious?”

“Please believe me. I didn’t mean to throw it away!” Farrah insisted. “I want to design Enduring Maments well and establish my footing in this department. I don’t want my identity as Mrs. Locke to overshadow Thy talent”

“Talent?” Adrian didn’t see any talent in her at the moment.

“Don’t mock me! I have inspiration now, and I have a starting point. I can design something that will satisfy you!

“You don’t need to try to please me. I be fair and impartial”

At that moment, Adrian’s phone rang. He glanced at it, picked it up, and answered, “Hello, Grandpa.”

“Are you going on a business trip tomorrow? Is the Harmony Hills project ready for a site visit?”

“Yes, Grandpa.”

“Then, take Fay with you!” Philip instructed. “The scenery there is beautiful, and since your marriage, you haven’t had a honeymoon. You both should relax.”

Adrian felt a headache coming on. He had already given Corey time off, and Germaine would be accompanying him. Bringing along Farrah might not be a good idea.

“Adrian, what are you thinking?” Philip noticed his long pause and said sternly, “Have you forgotten that you’re married? Do you still want to live a single life?”

“I haven’t forgotten.”

“So, take Fay with you! Go unwind and build your relationship, Philip reiterated. “It’s a must! I’m looking forward to having a great–grandchild soon. If you realize that, I’ll remove the surveillance camera at home

“Alright, I promise you.” Adrian cared deeply about Philip.

After he hung up. Farrah sensed his displeasure but chose not to ask anything. She turned to prepare his medicinal cream,

When she returned with the bowl of it, Adrian had finished his shower and appeared in a bathrobe. That infuriating man was just too charming. She had to steady her emotions.

Adrian looked at her with a somber expression,

“Let me apply the medicine for you, okay?” She approached him, her gaze dropping to his arm.

He didn’t resist and sat down in the chair, rolling up his sleeves. Farrah bent over like she had the night before, carefully applying the cream.

“I’m going on a business trip tomorrow, and Grandpa wants me to take you along,” Adrian said, looking at her. “Was this a suggestion that you gave him?”

Farrah blinked, taken aback, “How would I know you were going on a business trip? And why would I want to go with you?”
