"You have to study with Grandpa Tate. I'll buy you meat buns when I get back." Adrian Hawthorne's refusal was firm, but his tone was gentle. He even promised to bring back something tasty. Compared to his old, cold self, Adrian was much kinder now.
Tang Xiao'nan pouted. She didn't want meat buns; she just wanted to go into town to play. But she didn't dare go against the future big shot. 'I've worked so hard to get on his good side; I can't make him angry now.'
With a faint, mournful sigh, Tang Xiao'nan reluctantly agreed. Her unhappiness was written all over her face, but she knew she had to obey. Her serious, adult-like expression amused Adrian Hawthorne. 'This chubby girl seems to have grown up overnight. She's not throwing tantrums anymore; she's actually quite thoughtful. She's completely different from the unruly girl she used to be.'
'They say a girl changes drastically by the time she's eighteen, but this one's changed long before that. Looks like she's an early bloomer.'
