Rachael was different.
For reasons Adrian didn't know himself, she mattered more to him than Daisy, Sylvia, or even Maria from the tutorial world.
She held a special place in his heart.
Therefore, for his date today with her, he chose to be loving and domineering—perfect husband material.
Naturally, he hadn't gotten blind in love.
Every action of his had many motives behind it.
But if he had to sum them up for today, he just wanted to skyrocket his worth in Rachael's heart.
'So much so that it overflows.'
'But before that, there is still one thing I must do.'
'Break the ice and ease Rachael's nerves.'
Shyness or nervousness could make someone feel uncomfortable and self-conscious.
Therefore, breaking the ice—easing Rachael's tense nerves—was necessary to create a more relaxed and comfortable environment where it would be easier for her to open up and be herself.
