Sweet Addiction

Chapter 41 Mack Zhou

Aaron looked at Jackson sitting on the sofa and asked curiously, "Why don't I see Carl recently?"

"He is very busy chasing after a female star recently," Jackson said casually.

Hearing this, Aaron raised his eyebrows, "Doesn't Ada mind?"

"He kept it from her." Jackson blinked his beautiful eyes and glanced at Aaron.

Aaron shook his head and thought that the relationship between Carl and Ada could only depend on themselves.

Ada was very upset recently. She hadn't seen Carl for a long time, and didn't know what Carl was busy with.

She sat idly in the cake shop, observing the customers who came one by one.

Seeing Ada's dull look, the shop assistant couldn't help but walk up to her and said, "Boss, if you keep on staring at customers like this, they will be scared away!"

Ada looked at the shop assistant aggrievedly, "What should I do? I feel so bored..."

Suddenly, Ada saw a little boy like an angel coming in, and showed an interest. She liked children the most!

Seeing him walk in alone, Ada went over to him, crouched down, looked at his eyes and exclaimed, 'Wow, his eyes are so beautiful.'

Then she said to this little boy, "Hi, kid, why are you here alone? Don't your parents accompany you?" After these words, Ada thought, 'The parents of such beautiful child were so careless. Weren't they afraid that their child would be carried away by others?'

Blinking his big eyes which looked like grapes, that little boy answered, "My father will be here soon. I'll wait for him here."

WOW! That little boy was so adorable when he spoke!

Ada's eyes were full of mother's love.

She got up, took the boy to a clean table and let him sit on the chair. She turned around and brought him some cakes.

"How old are you?"

That little boy inclined his head, stretched out four fingers and answered, "Four years old."

"What's your name?"

"Barrie!" That little boy answered loudly as he ate the cake. It seemed that he liked Ada very much.

Suddenly, the door was pushed open and a man came in. He looked around and saw Barrie Zhou and Ada sitting together. He was stunned and came over.

Looking at the man in front of her, Ada stood up in a hurry.

The man was dressed in a black suit, with his well combed hair, and his heroic eyebrows made him look very energetic. The corners of his mouth naturally curved up, making him look inexplicably kind.

"Did Barrie bother you?"

Hearing his question, Ada replied in a hurry, "No, no, Barrie is very good boy!"

"Dad, I'm a good boy!" Barrie took his father's hand and shook it.

"I had something to deal with just now. Thank you for taking care of him for a while. I'm glad that you're not bothered."

Ada nodded and said, "I'm okay. Barrie is very attractive, but you shouldn't do that next time. Such a small child needs to be looked after by adults at any time."

Hearing what Ada said, Mack Zhou nodded with a smile, "It won't happen next time."

Then he took Barrie to pay the bill and bought a new cake.

Ada looked at Mack, feeling strange. She always thought she'd seen him before.

After hesitating for a while, she said, "... Do we know each other?"

Mack looked back at her without saying a word.

Seeing him like this, Ada was a little embarrassed, because what she said just now was like accosting him. She waved her hand and said, "I'm sorry. I just have a feeling that you are familiar."

Looking at Ada's exploring eyes, Mack smiled and said, "Maybe I often come here to buy cakes."

Hearing their conversation, the shop assistant couldn't help but explain for Ada, "Boss, I also feel he is very familiar. He comes here to buy cakes every day."

Ada was stunned and asked: "Really?"

Mack looked at the shop assistant, then raised the cake in his hand and said, "Maybe so. I like this cake very much."

Looking at the cake in Mack's hand, Ada felt a little surprised. She nodded and said to him with a sweet smile, "This cake is made by me. Thank you for liking it."

"Really? You should work harder to make a better cake. I have been eating this for nearly a year."

When Ada heard his words, she touched his head sheepishly. She liked cakes very much, but her life was always under the direction of Carl, so only when Carl ignored her could this cake shop get her heart.

Mack left with Barrie, who kept looking back at Ada.

When Mack held Barrie in the baby chair, he found Barrie looking at the cake shop. He felt funny. Pinching Barrie's chubby cheek, he said, "Do you like that aunt so much?"

"Yes!" Barrie nodded vigorously. "I like that aunt! That aunt is a nice person! Daddy, you don't like that aunt?"

Barrie's question made Mack fall into a deep thought. He looked up at Ada in the cake shop and whispered, "I like her too..."

At the same time, Mack's words rekindled Ada's passion for making cakes. Ada took off her expensive dress and went to the kitchen to pick up her long abandoned the skill of making cake.

In fact, she also forgot when she liked cakes. She just knew that she liked cakes very much since she was a child. When she was in the orphanage, she hoped that someone could bring cakes to visit the children, so that she could have delicious cakes.

At the age of seven, she was adopted by Carl's parents. They treated her like their own daughter, which made her grateful.

Carl's parents were kind-hearted and different from other rich families. They didn't have any prejudice like a marriage between families of equal social rank. They liked Ada, so they wanted to make her and Carl be together.

It happened that Ada also liked Carl.

Thinking of Carl, Ada was worried, 'Why can't he be found?'

She shook her head and decided to concentrate on making cake.

At the Zhao Family Mansion

"Auntie, the case of the WH company has been taken away by Earl. What should we do?" Jessica's voice was full of anxiety.

Sara frowned, worrying about the same thing.

"We can't let Earl make it this time. Now Owen has a very deep prejudice against Aaron. If Earl had done better than Aaron did this time. Then it will be difficult for Aaron to defeat Earl in Owen's heart."

Jessica nodded. She agreed with Sara on this matter. That was why she came to talk to Sara about it.

All of a sudden, Sara patted the seat beside herself and asked Jessica to sit down.

Jessica leaned forward. Her eyes lit up when she heard Sara's words and she nodded with a smile.

Ada was eager to share the cake which made by her with Carl.

So, do it whenever you think of it!

After changing her clothes, she held the cake and went to the bar with an attitude of trying it.

However, when she arrived at the bar, although she did not see Carl, she saw that four people.

"You are here too!"

Irene let Ada sit next to her with a smile, "I didn't want to come at first. But Helen insisted on welcoming me, I only went abroad for seven days!"

Ada smiled. She knew that Helen was very active, so she said, "she must have wanted to play. By the way, how do you feel about going abroad?"

"Um... How to say, it's better to be at home, ha ha." After that, Irene took out a bag and handed it to Ada.

"I was thinking whether I would meet you today. Here, this is a souvenir I brought back for you. It's not expensive, but I want to share it with you!" Finishing that words, Irene blinked shyly.

Ada took it over and felt moved. She had few friends since childhood. And she didn't like that kind of rich young lady. She didn't expect that she could make two good friends through Aaron

She thought in her mind, 'A gift is a tie of friendship, no matter what it is! I am so moved!'

"By the way, have you seen Carl recently? I haven't seen him for a long time." Ada puckered her lips.

Irene turned to look at Aaron.

Aaron's eyes flickered and he said, "If you don't know, how can we know?" Còntens bel0ngs to Nô(v)elDr/a/ma.Org

Helen then said, "That's not necessarily. You guys come together and we don't know what you're going to say. Maybe you may have thought our women were annoying."

Jackson rolled his eyes at Helen and said, "I have never referred to you as an annoying person in private."

Before Helen could be moved by Jackson's words, she heard him say, "I always say these words face to face."

"……" Helen thought viciously, 'If I don't choke to death, you will feel bad, won't you?'

They were talking and laughing. Suddenly, Carl came in with a woman in his arms.

The woman was slender, fair skinned, wore a miniskirt and in high heels. She was wearing bright red lipstick. Yes, she was that female star.

When Ada saw them, her face turned pale.

Carl was also shocked when she saw Ada. He thought, 'Oh my god! I know that I can't bring her here!' Just now the star wanted to listen to him singing, so he coaxed her and sang to her at home!

But she was not willing to listen. And she said that she wanted to see him singing on the stage, which would make him the most fascinating one. Because he couldn't stand any woman throwing a tantrum like a spoiled child, so he took her here

Irene also froze when she saw Carl and that star. She thought to herself, 'Wow, did I see a star? Although she is not very famous, she is more or less a star. But now it's really embarrassing. Will Ada fight with this star? I'm afraid Ada will do that!'

However, Ada didn't get mad at this star. She gracefully stood up and made a smile. Then she looked Carl and asked, "Where have you been recently? I haven't seen you for a long time."

That little star had no eyesight and couldn't see the embarrassing situation. So she held Carl's waist and said, "He has been with me recently. We just got back from Maldives." Finishing these words, she looked at Carl, "Carl, why don't you introduce your friend to me?"

But Carl made no response. He looked at Ada in front of him. In fact, he didn't care about what Ada was thinking. He was afraid that she would say something bad to his parents when she went home.

At the same time, Aaron and Jackson just sit by and were lookers-on. They thought, 'It's time to change Carl's' rotten habits.'

Helen was also observing, and thought, 'If Ada fought with this star, how could I help Ada hit this woman...'

Hearing that female star's words, Ada's smile hardened. She thought, 'So he went to Maldives with this woman! He went with another woman to a place he didn't want to go with me!'

She turned around, picked up the cake on the table and handed it to Carl. "This is the cake I just made. You used to like it very much. I bring it to you on purpose."

Carl wanted to say something, but he frowned when he saw the cake. In fact he didn't like desserts.

So he said casually, "Put it over there."

After that, he did not see Ada do anything. She still held it up and insisted him to take it.

Carl also felt Ada's sadness for the first time. In the past, Ada also knew that he liked to play. Although she might have some control over him, she did not restrain him very much. It was the first time that he was caught with another woman. Although he thought that he and Ada were innocent, he felt it strange now.

He saw Ada hold the cake and took it helplessly.

Seeing Carl take it, Ada exhaled. She felt like he was not completely abandoned her.
