Summer Sutton's gaze fell on the beef on his plate, her eyes unblinking.
She was hungry!
However, she didn't want to show weakness in front of Adrian Walyon.
"Nothing, just wandering around." Her gaze moved away with difficulty, and she deliberately spoke casually.
"Go back to the room and wait for me!" Adrian Walyon ordered.
"Wait for what?" Summer Sutton didn't react for a moment.
Adrian's gaze lingered on her face, and he replied slowly, "To do what a couple should do!"
Summer Sutton was so embarrassed that she didn't even know where to put her face.
After choking for a while, she reminded him, "You can't do this! I haven't agreed to marry you!"
"Does Miss Sutton have a choice?" Adrian Walyon dismissed her words with disdain.
His tone was light and breezy.
Summer Sutton couldn't imagine how powerful the forces behind him were to treat marriage so lawlessly.
Summer Sutton knew she couldn't fight him, so she could only reason with him.
"I'm only nineteen, not even at the legal marriage age!"
"Nineteen years and eight months, in four months you'll be twenty." Adrian Walyon leisurely put down his cutlery, "These four months are perfect for preparing the wedding!"
Summer Sutton didn't know how to respond for a moment.
He even calculated this for her?
Could she lie and say there was a mistake on her birth certificate, claim she's underage, and pretend to be younger?
Right now, Summer Sutton really wished she could be two years younger.
"Any other questions?" At this time, Adrian Walyon was still fairly patient.
Summer Sutton looked at him steadily, her gaze lingering on his face a bit too long, "Why do you want to marry me?"
With his outstanding appearance, he's not lacking in potential spouses.
And Summer Sutton, though possessing a beauty of campus queen level, knew well that her looks alone were not enough for him to marry her without really knowing her.
In fact, marrying a Sutton daughter wasn't Adrian Walyon's decision but rather an arrangement by his grandfather.
Adrian's grandfather and Summer Sutton's deceased grandfather had been long-time comrades-in-arms and had a family alliance agreement.
However, the agreement only mentioned marrying a Sutton daughter, without specifying which one.
There were two Sutton daughters in total, this was something Adrian Walyon had always known, one being Summer Sutton, and the other her cousin Gina Sutton.
The Walyon Family had recently been arranging the engagement between the two families, and Summer Sutton, already forgotten by both families, was certainly not in line to marry into the Walyon Family.
Having no interest in marrying Gina Sutton, Adrian Walyon secretly found Summer Sutton to deliver a decisive blow at a critical moment.
Without telling her so much, Adrian Walyon looked at Summer Sutton for a long time and then softly said, "Because Miss Sutton is naturally beautiful!"
Summer Sutton, "..."
Adrian Walyon had finished his meal and went upstairs first, "Follow me!"
Summer Sutton watched his figure disappear on the spiral staircase, and her first reaction was to turn and run towards the villa door.
However, as soon as she stepped forward, Adrian Walyon's cold voice came from upstairs, "If you leave the villa tonight and I catch you, for every meter you run, you'll spend an hour with me in the room!"
He was threatening her!
Summer Sutton's face turned pale, and her leg, already stepping out, was pulled back with force.
She didn't know precisely what kind of man he was, but she was absolutely sure he could subdue her.
Summer Sutton had no power or influence, not even a person to rely on in Northtown, she was just the meat on his chopping board, at his mercy.
"Come up!" Adrian Walyon commanded from high up on the stairs.
Summer Sutton was reluctant, but after hesitating and hesitating again, she eventually pulled her legs towards him and walked over.
