For the nth time that hour, Cassidy can't help but heave a sigh, not understanding what's up with Adrian all of the sudden.
Apparently, a moment after confessing to her right in the middle of the crowd near the entrance of the bar and casino, he began acting more on guard. This time, she isn't sure if this is still only about her appearance. Most probably, his attentiveness right now had something to do with the messages he received from Charles earlier.
"You know, your nephews are not gonna be happy with this. I have to come with them to that ice cream parlor," Cassidy commented at how he got stricter - though she kept it cool since she had a feeling that this was a serious matter.
"I already told Edward that he should not allow them to go outside as well. Charles had relayed a very important message. We would have to wait for him and Ray to arrive..." Adrian trailed off with a gravelly serious yet calm tone.
"I also need all the bodyguards close by."
