the two-faced Adopted Girl Who Melted CEO's Ice-Cold Heart

Chapter 1214: The Notorious Warlord’s Domain Leader Might Just Be Love-Starved, Overflowing with Paternal Warmth

Aurora Coldwell tore up the previous agreement with Griffith Squire and returned to her room, sitting by the window in a daze.

Marriage is probably the most beautiful and happiest moment in every woman’s life. When she was young, she fantasized about wearing the most beautiful wedding dress, becoming the most elegant bride, and marrying a man as gentle and warm as jade. But after growing up, this dream drifted further away like a kite with a broken string, never to be found again.

Griffith Squire is a very good person, it’s just that he’s helped her too much over the past two years. She mustn’t be greedy, mustn’t get accustomed to relying on him. Sooner or later, he would leave her just like her mother did, and she could only get used to herself.

She took out the inheritance left to her by her mother from the safe, and as she touched the share certificates and property deeds, she felt a deep melancholy. Over the years, her father’s attitude was very clear; he almost always treated her as invisible, even using her marriage contract as a transaction. If it weren’t for Griffith Squire, he would certainly listen to her stepmother and marry her off to the Kingston Family’s George Kingston, a good-for-nothing, perhaps even thinking her disabilities meant the Kingston Family would be doing them a favor by marrying her.

She bit her lip silently, took out the share certificates and property deeds, placed them into a file bag, and then opened the door to leave.

As soon as she opened the door, she saw the man leaning against the snow-white wall. The man’s eyes were half-closed, his figure tall and slender, and his lips always held a smile that was three parts mischievous and three parts lazy, making him seem extremely dangerous yet irresistibly inviting.

Aurora Coldwell jumped at the sight of him outside the door, and Griffith Squire was startled too, seeing her eyes slightly red and her pale face akin to snow, like a little rabbit waking from winter, silly and dazed, yet very cute.

The man coughed lightly and smiled, "You didn’t eat much dinner. Hungry?"

Aurora Coldwell: "?!"

She shook her head, handed over the folder, and said, "Please keep this for me."

Actually, whether it was the company or the Coldwell residence, Griffith Squire’s people had always taken charge, but Griffith Squire still let Aurora Coldwell keep the important documents and certificates herself.

Griffith Squire raised an eyebrow slightly, opened the file bag, and seeing she had previously refused to marry him, now she suddenly entrusted him with all her possessions, was she treating him like a trustworthy uncle?

Griffith Squire touched his nose, feeling he was getting old, looking aged, thinking young girls prefer the pretty boy type. He chuckled awkwardly, "Aren’t you afraid I’ll sell you off?"

Aurora Coldwell shook her head. It was he who helped her reclaim these things, gifting them to him was fine, but she knew he wouldn’t accept, that’s why she roundaboutly let Griffith Squire keep them for her.

Griffith Squire was also impatient with managing these things, seeing her eagerly gaze at him, he nodded, thinking about letting Cornelius Turner throw them in a bank safe for convenience.

"I didn’t consider marriage carefully, but our formal engagement can’t be dissolved. Wait until you meet someone you like, then consider ending it." The man said, reaching out to pat the girl’s head, then thinking it inappropriate, he could only smile like a wolfish uncle.

No one knows that the feared warlord in the Golden Triangle might act out of lack of love, his paternal instincts overwhelming, and when he meets someone he wants to protect, he assumes a parental stance—this is how he treats Leah Squire, Delphine, and now another.

He wants to feed her carrots every day and keep the little rabbit in the burrow, but this little rabbit has a temper. Griffith Squire feels some of his thoughts are abnormal, secretly hiding his peculiar affection tightly.
