Selina's hand was still in the air, but Adonis' hand was already gone.
Glaring at his back, Selina stuck her tongue out at him and said, "Stop being so cocky. My father is also very handsome, but unlike you, he is still very polite!"
She muttered to herself as she wiped her hands on her clothes before continuing to fly the kite.
However, there was one thing she didn't know.
It was not like Adonis was ill bred, he just didn't like shaking hands with girls.
He was a guest performer in one of Debra's movies before, and as a result, he became unexpectedly famous. Because of this, he encountered a lot of trouble in life. Every single time he went out, there would be girls screaming for him and surrounding him, even trying to hug him. Since then, he became very uncomfortable around strangers, especially girls he didn't personally know.
After a while, it was finally time for lunch.
"Are you Adonis?"
After he finished paying the western garden a visit, Adonis had walking towards the dining room when he came across a man.
The man was clad in a white linen uniform specific to the Yu Clan, and a pair of cloth shoes. He rolled up his sleeves casually and looked at Adonis with his clear amber eyes as a smile appeared on his face.
If it weren't for his short hair, people would think that he was a man coming straight from an ancient painting.
Although Adonis was only fourteen years old, he had already read stacks of books about Yu Sea City. In addition to that, since the An Family was a big family in JA City, he had met many different kinds of people. However, he had to admit that the man standing in front of him was different from everyone he had ever come across.
In his mind, his father was a unique man, and the gentle man in front of him was just as excellent.
"Uncle Steven, nice to meet you!"
After a moment of thinking, Adonis finally recognized Steven.
He knew that there was a man who had done a lot for his mother in Yu Sea City. And despite knowing that his mother only had his father in her heart, Steven was still willing to help her out without asking for anything in return just so she wouldn't have to worry about anything.
Instead of looking down at Steven, Adonis actually admired him.
It was his sacrifice and courage that allowed his mother to spend more time with him and his sister.
"Like father, like son. You are just as elegant and handsome as Mr. An," Steven said with a smile. Then he put one of his hands on Adonis' shoulder and started walking towards the dining room with him.
"Let's go. Your mom is waiting for us."
When they finally arrived at the dining hall, Selina had already taken her se
's shoulders.
Even though he made sure to do it very gently, his movement still woke Carla up.
"Oh my God! It's so late!"
Carla said as she stretched herself. She tried to stand up, but she immediately found that her legs were numb from being in the same position for too long, and stumbled forward.
Steven grabbed her with his hands to support her and helped her sit on the couch beside the desk. "Take your time. You can do all of that work tomorrow."
Carla stretched her legs and massaged them, saying, "Lucia is causing trouble again? I heard that there are still a lot of people supporting her. What's the update on this?"
Steven sat down as well, gently massaged Carla's numb legs, and answered, "Lucia is now stirring up trouble using your identity. Through the years, we have implemented a lot of measures that have caused some sticklers for traditions to oppose us. However, the majority of people still choose to support us.
Don't worry. I'm already following up on this matter. Even if Lucia stirs up more trouble, I still have a way to deal with her."
After a while, Carla stood up and stretched her legs. She felt much better. "Thank you, Steven."
Steven stood up as well and looked at her tenderly with his amber eyes. "I am the general manager of the four tribes, so it's my duty to maintain the harmony within Yu Sea City.
Alright. Go back and have a good rest. Selina is waiting for you."
It wasn't until then that Carla remembered that Selina was waiting for her. "Oh, I forgot. Selina must have been waiting for a long time." she said apologetically.
With that, she hurried outside.
Steven watched her with a faint smile in his eyes as she left in a hurry. He tidied up the room, turned off the light, and walked out of the study as well.
