Chapter 86

Maria's first question left Adam speechless.

Maria thought that he was shy and that there were others around, so he didn't feel comfortable talking to her.

She smiled and said, "Lily, I want to talk to my grandson-in-law alone. Please go ahead and do your work."

Maria emphasized the words "grandson-in-law" specifically to announce Lumma's married status and to deter other women from having any inappropriate thoughts.

Lily knew it was wrong to think that way but couldn't help taking an extra glance at Adam before leaving. How could there be such a good-looking man in the world?

Adam, on the other hand, didn't even spare a glance at Lily throughout the entire conversation, which pleased Maria greatly.

The more Maria looked at him, the more she liked him. Her face was filled with smiles as she said, "Lucas, I'm glad you took the time to visit me amidst your busy schedule."

Adam politely replied, "It's what I should do."
