Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 595: Secret Marriage?

The little one’s face had very obvious features that belonged to the Zhekova family.

The noses of the Zhekova family members, while not exactly the same, could clearly be seen as inheriting the Zhekova genes.

Morgan was no exception.

If he were really his stepfather, how could he possibly look so much alike?

So, they all dismissed this guess.

They still thought that the hypothesis that Morgan was Adrian Zhekova’s biological son was more reliable.

They were just curious about where Adrian Zhekova could have found such a big child.

Hadn’t Adrian Zhekova been single all this time?

At this moment, from the direction of the Lanarn Training Ground, someone quietly said, “Hey! Adrian Zhekova has actually been married for a long time.”

Those nearby heard and listened carefully.

They could hear the voice but did not find out who was speaking.

Everyone was extremely anxious.

Don’t just say half of it!

Keep talking, tell us more!

At this point, someone else asked from somewhere, “He’s been married for a long time? When did it happen?”

The person replied, “Since their child is already so big, you’d know they’ve been married for several years.”

Another person said, “But why doesn’t everyone know? People outside think Adrian Zhekova has always been single.”

The person laughed, “Think about it! If Adrian Zhekova was really single for so many years, wouldn’t the Old Madam Zhekova be anxious? Wouldn’t she be in a hurry to arrange a matchmaker and introduce a partner?”

“But has she ever been anxious during these years?”

“That’s true,” the other person admitted, “Old Madam Wells has been worrying instead.”

“That’s because Adrian Zhekova has been married and even had a son for a long time. Of course, he’s not anxious,” the person laughed.

“But if they’re already married, why not make it public? Is it because there’s something wrong with the woman? That’s not right, either. If the woman was not good, she wouldn’t have been brought out today.” The other person asked again.

“Or is the woman brought today not the child’s biological mother?”

This remark caused the truth-seeking guests to once again open their wild imaginations.

There were so many possibilities!

Although they saw Morgan call Cindy Clarke ‘Mom’ very naturally and dependently, without any discomfort,

it was because the child was young.

Children at a young age don’t have much memory yet, and perhaps the previous one left years ago.

There could be many reasons for her absence, such as leaving or no longer being in the world.

Morgan looked like Adrian Zhekova, undoubtedly his biological son.

But not necessarily Cindy Clarke’s biological son.

Who was the one from a few years ago remains unknown.

When they thought about it this way, it made much more sense.

Maybe it was because that person could not be in the light, so Adrian Zhekova did not publicly disclose his marital status.

Or maybe there was no marriage at all with that person from before.

It could have been a child born out of wedlock.

As everyone was thinking this, they heard the person who seemed to have a lot of information to reveal saying, “What are you thinking about! This is the child’s biological mother.”

“Then, this…” The other person was genuinely confused.

“Hidden marriage? Child born out of wedlock? Meeting each other again later on?”

“…” That person laughed, “Your imagination is pretty good; haven’t you read a lot of novels?”

The other person: “…”

“Since you know about this, just say it. Stop keeping us in suspense,” the other person urged, “Trying to get information from you is harder than listening to a storyteller.”

That person was not angry and just laughed, “Alright, alright, I’ll tell you. It’s because the Xero Family once calculated Adrian Zhekova’s fortune and said that his marriage would be smooth and early. Especially if he finds his life’s love, Adrian Zhekova’s life would be truly smooth and uneventful.”

“And if he can find her, his other half would be his fortunate star.”

“With her there, he would succeed in everything, and he would not have to worry about anything. One could even say that any decision he makes would be correct, and any investment would earn huge profits.”

“However, the Xero Family also calculated that Adrian Zhekova would have a difficult period of five years, during which he might face a career low or even a life-threatening situation.”

“But the specific timing is uncertain, which means it’s unclear when it will happen. The Xero Family did provide a solution, though. That is to keep a low profile and hide their marriage for five years after getting married. If Adrian Zhekova marries the right person, then Mrs. Zhekova’s fortune can accumulate during these five years. When he encounters difficulties later on, they can use her fortune to counteract them.”

“So, for these past five years, there have been no news about Adrian Zhekova’s marriage,” the person explained.

“I see, but how can they be sure that his wife is the right person to help him counteract the disaster?” The other person asked with a puzzled look. “Is there any specific condition like the birth horoscope? Did Zhekova family look for someone with the right horoscope?”

“You missed a crucial point in what I said,” that person shook their head and continued, “I said that for the wife to help Adrian Zhekova ward off disasters and bring him good fortune, Adrian Zhekova has to genuinely love her. That person must be the one he loves.”

“Even if the horoscopes match, if Adrian Zhekova doesn’t like them, it’s useless. So, it depends on Adrian Zhekova’s fate.”

“As long as he loves them and truly marries for love, the other person can bring him good fortune,” that person said.

“But in this case, what if disaster strikes first? What if he hasn’t found his other half and faces disaster first?” The other person asked.

“Then it’s just bad luck,” that person said, “Luckily, Adrian Zhekova has good fortune and met her. He didn’t expect to find his lifelong partner at such a young age.”

“Cindy Clarke also agreed to hide herself for as long as five years,” the person said.

“Not just her, even their child Morgan could not show his face or be known to others because of this,” the person sighed, “It’s easy to say, but it’s hard to do.”

“Especially since Adrian Zhekova is her husband. Being his wife and not being acknowledged would make her feel very insecure. If they end up divorcing, there would be nowhere to reason.”

“Because no one knows that she was married to Adrian Zhekova,” the person said.

“Moreover, Adrian Zhekova is so popular. Although the members of The Big Eight families seem to marry late, and the old ladies are all desperate as if their grandsons are unwanted, but there are actually many people who wanted to get married.”

“Put yourself in their shoes: wouldn’t you worry if people thought he was single when he actually had a wife?”

“Indeed, especially when other women don’t know either, one after another, they want to develop a relationship with Adrian Zhekova. Even if Adrian Zhekova doesn’t have the intention, just seeing women cling to him is enough to cause frustration.”
