Night Carved Paths Into Silence by Zyrel Ash ` 326
Chapter 326
“Very sweet.”
He said, and it wasn’t clear if he was talking about the candy or
her.
“I thought you were angry, disappointed, that you’d never talk to
me again, Rebecca, I…”
“Stop, stop, stop.”
Rebecca looked around.
“We can’t just talk here, can we?”
Adrian pressed his lips together, thought for a moment, and
said, “Want to go for a walk outside?”
“Why don’t we talk at home?”
Adrian frowned. “The house smells like Rosalind. I’ll have
someone come clean it. We can go back later.”
As he spoke, he naturally grabbed Rebecca’s hand and walked
out of the garage.

Rebecca’s brain was still a little short–circuited from that kiss
just now.
Hearing Adrian mention Rosalind, she finally remembered the
important matter.
“What about Rosalind?”
The night air was slightly cool, and the streetlights in the
complex cast a dim yellow glow on the ground.
Adrian held Rebecca’s hand tightly, as if afraid she would
disappear if he let go.
Hearing her question, he didn’t stop walking, just turned his
head to glance at her.
“She’s gone.”
He was concise, and his tone wasn’t pleasant.
“How did you make her leave?”
Rebecca pressed, genuinely curious. Rosalind’s attitude didn’t
seem like someone who would leave easily.
Adrian was silent for a moment, seemingly organizing his thoughts, or rather, suppressing some kind of emotion.

“I told her to leave immediately.”
His voice was steady, but carried an undeniable force. “I told her she wasn’t welcome here, that there was nothing private for
us to discuss, not in the past, not now, and certainly not in the future.”
He paused, then added, his tone turning even colder:
“I also told her that if she ever showed up in front of you without permission again, or tried to disturb our lives, I would directly contact her father and the media to explain the
situation. I imagine Edgardo Vance wouldn’t want to see his daughter doing something so inappropriate.”
Rebecca was slightly taken aback.
That was a bit harsh, going straight to her parents. For people with their kind of family background, that was practically an
ultimatum.
No wonder Rosalind left so quickly.
“You…”
Rebecca didn’t know what to say for a moment. “Are you sure
it’s okay to burn bridges with her like that?

Aren’t your two families family friends for generations?”
Adrian stopped, turned to face her, and held her by the
shoulders, his gaze calm and serious.
“Rebecca, first of all, there was never any ‘face‘ to save between
elders had. Second…”
He emphasized his words, “Anyone or anything that makes you
uncomfortable, causes you to misunderstand, or could even
hurt you, gets no special treatment from me. The bond between
our families shouldn’t be a reason for you to be wronged.”
gaze was so sincere and firm that Rebecca’s heart felt like
it was soaking in warm water–warm and full.
She looked down, scuffing the ground with the toe of her shoe,
and mumbled, “So… your family… do they really have… plans,
like she said?”
That was the question she cared about the most.
Adrian sighed, pulling her back into his arms and resting his
chin gently on the top of her head.
“My father does have his own ideas,” he didn’t avoid it, his voice

vibrating from his chest and making Rebecca’s ears tingle.
“He’d rather I go into politics, or at the very least, marry
someone who can help the family. Rosalind’s family
background is exactly what he’s looking for.”
Rebecca’s heart sank a little.
Adrian immediately tightened his arms around her and
continued:
“But those are his hopes, not mine. I made it clear a long time
ago that my passion is for academia, and my marriage is my
own choice. I chose you because I love you and I only want to
spend the rest of my life with you, not because you have some
value to my family.”
“As for my father.”
He paused, his tone taking on an undeniable firmness, “I’ll
handle it. Just give me some time. I’ll get him to accept you, to
accept my choice. And if he can’t, for the time being…”
He loosened his hold on her slightly, looking down into her eyes,
his gaze as deep as the ocean. “Then things might be tough on
you for a while, but we are not breaking up. That will never
change. Do you trust me?”
Chapter 326
The night wind blew, carrying the fresh scent of plants.
Looking at the unconcealed love in Adrian’s eyes, the doubts
and anxieties that had clouded Rebecca’s mind finally melted
away.
She reached out, wrapped her arms back around his lean waist,
and buried her face in his warm chest.
“I do.”
