Substitute Marriage: Reborn As The Top Big-Shot

Sister.

Hmm? Viola glanced back slightly.

Swallowing the noodles in his mouth, Adam asked, Do you think thisis a bit salty?

Not just a bit salty!

It was incredibly salty.

Yeah, it does seem a bit salty. Im not very good at cooking noodles, Viola admitted while taking another bite.

Seeing this, she asked Adam, Actually, I dont mind it. Do you find it hard to eat? If so, I can cook another batch for you?

Besides her love for Milk Tea, Viola didnt pay much attention to food.

She was always able to eat anything, no matter how unpalatable, without changing her expression.

Those who have experienced hunger cherish food more than anyone else.

No need, no need, Adam quickly took another bite of noodles. My taste is quite heavy; it actually suits my stomach quite well.

Really? Violas eyes curved into a smile.

This was the first time she had met someone who appreciated her cooking.

Really!

To prove that he wasnt lying, Adam finished the bowl of noodles in less than three minutes.

After finishing the noodles, Adam grabbed a can of cola from the fridge and drank more than half of the can in one gulp.

Meanwhile, Viola continued to eat her noodles leisurely. After drinking the cola, Adam came out of the kitchen, Sister.

Hmm? Viola looked up slightly.

Adam checked his phone, My mom is looking for me; there seems to be some urgent matter, so I have to head back.

No problem; go ahead. As long as Im here, everything will be fine.

Adam nodded, Alright then, Ill go first. Sister, if you need anything, just call me.

After walking a few steps, Adam seemed to recall something and turned back, Right, Sister, no one usually comes to Terrences place, so you can sleep in any room you want.

Alright.

After explaining everything, Adam turned around and left.

Viola finished her noodles and came to the kitchen to wash the dishes, only to find that Adam had already cleaned the pot and the bowl he had used.

After washing the dishes, Viola went to the bedroom, checked on Terrence Lentz, and then went to the bathroom for a quick shower.

On the other side.bender

At the Swantz residence.

Matthew Swantz and May Marcine sat on the couch.

Derek Swantz also sat beside them, taking a sip of tea from the teacup in his hands.

May glanced at her wristwatch, worrying about Adams whereabouts. Why hasnt the child come back yet!

Matthew looked at May with slight displeasure, He has no sense of time at all, and its all because you spoiled him!

The saying indulgent mothers breed spoiled children couldnt be truer.

Hearing this, May snorted coldly, So, Adam is only my son? I must be very capable of giving birth to a son all by myself.

Over the years, Matthew had ignored Adam while even bringing back an illegitimate son. And now he was trying to blame her for not raising their child well!

It was simply ridiculous.

Cant he learn from Derek?

Since childhood, Adam had been educated by his mother.

Dereks mother was nothing more than a woman of ill repute who gave birth to him and abandoned him at an orphanage.

Before being taken in by Matthew Swantz, Derek lived at the orphanage.

Yet Derek was still very successful.

Compared to Derek, Adam had lived a privileged life but was never satisfied.

May wanted to say something, but, seeing Derek, ended up saying nothing.

In the end, she still had to save some face for the father and son.

Between husband and wife, its best not to tear their faces apart until the last moment.

At this moment, footsteps could be heard outside.

May stood up from the couch and greeted Adam, Adam.

Mom, Adam handed the car keys to the servant, You were so anxious to call me back, is there something going on?

May looked at Adam and mysteriously smiled, Of course, its something good.

What good thing? Adam was extremely curious.

Can you guess? asked May.

Adam shook his head, l cant guess.

May smiled and reminded him, Its related to a lifelong matter of yours.

Hearing this, Adams heart skipped a beat, Mom, are you trying to introduce a girlfriend to me?

It sounded nice to say introduction.

In fact, it was more like a mutual alliance through marriage.

Adam had grown up surrounded by the wealthy and had seen and experienced many cold and distant marriages.

His parents were a prime example.

Their marriage was a family alliance.

Matthew indulged in wine and women, even brazenly bringing back an illegitimate son; yet, his mother dared not complain.

He didnt want to follow in his parents footsteps..
