บท 260: I Can Never Be Your Wife (2)

Adrienne was relieved that her meeting with her grandfather went well, but she knew Alistair wouldn't give up easily and was bent on marrying her. Sitting in the car's backseat, she took her uncle's hand. 

"Uncle shouldn't have done that. What if Alistair Han does something to get even with you? Mom would scold me if she knew what happened earlier." She told him. 

Reese's gaze softened. He patted Adrienne's hand, earning a slight pout from his niece. 

"Stop treating me like a child, Uncle," Adrienne complained, swatting his hand away from her head. 

"It doesn't matter if you're a grown woman, Addie. Uncle will always protect you in a heartbeat." Reese reassured her. 

"But, Uncle, I'm already married. Please don't hit someone impulsively again, regardless of whether it was Alistair Han. I don't want you to get in trouble." She paused as a thought crossed her mind.
