Chapter 2613: Chapter 2622: Benjamin Sinclair Is Furious
"This..." Olivia Lewis gave him a âshyâ smile and said softly, "I think I look acceptable, probably presentable."
The implication from Benjamin Sinclair was clearly that her status was not up to par, unfit to attend the public ribbon-cutting ceremony with Adam Sinclair.
She obviously understood, but deliberately misinterpreted Benjamin Sinclairâs words, claiming she wasnât ugly and wouldnât scare others.
Benjamin Sinclair was, after all, a significant figure. He sensed Olivia Lewisâs intention to provoke, but as an elder, it was inappropriate for him to scold a young woman harshly. His chest felt even more stifled, his temples pulsating, and his rectangular face tightened. With a cold sneer, he said, "Heh, Ms. Lewis, quick-witted and sharp-tongued, I wonât argue with you; you know what I mean."
"This... What is Uncle referring to? I donât understand." She carried on with her act.
An innocent little gaze, which decisively made Benjamin Sinclairâs expression grow even uglier. To save himself from being infuriated to death by her, Benjamin Sinclair turned his head away, refusing to say another word.
Adam Sinclair observed the entire scene from the side, feeling relieved as she managed to leave the stubborn man speechless in just a few sentences.
He subtly wrapped her small hand in his palm, gently squeezing Olivia Lewisâs palm with his thumb, curving his lips into a smile filled with appreciation in his peach blossom eyes.
He had been worried that Olivia Lewis would be humiliated by Benjamin Sinclair, but now it seemed his concern was unnecessary. Her mouth was more than capable of riling people up.
It reminded him of the first time his mom called her out for a âchatâ, her brilliant performance was still vivid in his momâs memory.
Itâs a wonder she thought of presenting Little Princess from Baron and Ennaâs family as her daughter, particularly catching his mom off-guard before she could, by offering him 750 thousand as âcompensation for damages of youthâ, which left his mom bewildered.
This time too, her naive and innocent little flower act was too incisive. If she didnât use this approach, she might have indeed been humiliated just now.
This kind of skillful maneuver was the best way to avoid conflict.
Adam Sinclair felt a swell of pride in his chest.
This was the woman he likedâsmart, beautiful, brave, and clever. It was little by little that he got to know her more, liked her more, and eventually fell for her...
The palm is one of the most ticklish places on the human body, and Olivia Lewis tried hard to ignore her palm being continuously rubbed, but the person showed no sign of stopping anytime soon. She couldnât tolerate it any longer, and while Benjamin Sinclair wasnât paying attention, she discreetly reached out from a hidden corner and gave the man a hard pinch on his thigh.
"Hissâ" Adam Sinclair, deep in thought, drew a sharp breath in pain.
Benjamin Sinclair, who had turned his head to look at the scenery outside to calm himself, heard the sound and turned back to look at Adam Sinclair.
Adam Sinclair bared his teeth and frowned.
Benjamin Sinclair immediately shifted his gaze to Olivia Lewis.
Olivia Lewis, looking startled, âweakly and softlyâ showed concern for Adam Sinclair, putting on a full little woman act, "Adam, whatâs wrong? Are you not feeling well?"
"..." She pinched so hard; how could she not know what was wrong with him? This was husband abuse.
Olivia Lewis met his exasperated gaze, her beautiful eyes flashing with a hint of mischief, responding with an âit serves you rightâ look, continuing her little act as an innocent flower.
