Torn Between Love and Hate novel Chapter 178

Chapter 178 Adrian Confesses to Deborah 

The next day, Deborah and Alyssa woke up early.

Alyssa was used to waking up early, while Deborah couldn’t sleep well because she wasn’t accustomed to this place.

After washing up, she went downstairs with Alyssa. Adrian was already sitting at the dining table, eating breakfast with his eyes closed.

It’s clear that they haven’t fully woken up yet.

Rebecca got up as well and sat down by the small table near the floor-to-ceiling window. In front of her, there was milk and scrambled

eggs.

She didn’t eat, gazing out the window with a face full of sorrow.

Adrian heard footsteps and opened his eyes to see Deborah walking down towards him.

He noticed Deborah’s gaze and said aloud, “Come sit over here. Don’t mind that woman; she’s just going through some emotional troubles lately, and she’s been like that all the time.”

Deborah pulled Alyssa along and sat down across from Adrian.

The housekeeper immediately brought up two servings of breakfast and placed them in front of them.

Adrian yawned for quite a while before he started complaining, “Who could be more miserable than me? I’ve been busy all year long, and now it’s already late December, yet I still can’t get a good night’s sleep.”

Deborah was surprised. “Mr. Moxley is up so early, does the crew still have work to do?”

“What kind of job is it? My grandmother wants me to get up early and interact more with you to strengthen our bond.” Adrian said candidly.

He didn’t hide his fondness for Deborah, nor did he conceal the tasks Donna asked him to do.

After all, when it comes to matters of the heart, there’s no need to hide or be ashamed of them.

He liked Deborah, so he approached her.

If Deborah really doesn’t like him, then it’s not a big deal.

Upon hearing this, Alyssa became anxious, “Adrian, I’ve already warned you not to have any ideas about my mom!”

Adrian looked at her disdainfully. “You’re just a kid, you wouldn’t understand adult matters. Don’t interfere, just eat your egg.”

He spoke and rudely pushed the scrambled egg plate closer to Alyssa.

With a gentle and considerate expression, they pulled Deborah’s plate closer and said, “Ms. Shepherd, let me help you cut your scrambled egg and toast into smaller pieces.

Can you eat these dishes? If not, there’s pasta and pancakes in the kitchen, and I can cook them for you.”

Deborah immediately stopped him, “No need, no need, thank you. I can eat it directly. Mr. Moxley, I explained to Mrs. Donna last night. If Mrs. Donna still misunderstands. I can explain again, so I won’t cause you any trouble.”

Adrian saw her stopping him and didn’t insist on helping her cut anymore. “It’s not a bother at all. My grandmother understands me: it’s

because I’m really into you.

You say you have someone you fancy, but who doesn’t have someone they fancy? Spend some time with me, and you might just find out

that I’m the one you fancy even more.”

Deborah knew Adrian was straightforward, but she didn’t expect him to be this candid. His directness left her struggling to keep up with

his responses.

Alyssa was so angry she wanted to smash a plate, “Adrian, how dare you scheme against my mother like this-”

Adrian interrupted her. “Come on, kid, stay out of this. What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I pursue your mom?”

He quickly turned to Deborah with a gentle expression and explained. “Ms. Shepherd, I wouldn’t joke about something like this with you,

I’m serious.

Last night, I spent the entire night thinking, and I realized that it was love at first sight when I saw you. I’ve never met anyone who has

made my heart race like you do.

You are the first person who can make me get up at six in the morning, and I personally made these breakfasts for you.”

Deborah felt that she might indeed be a bit emotionally insensitive. Adrian spoke with such affection, but she genuinely felt nothing inside.

Even so, it seemed a bit amusing.

“Mr. Moxley, it seems like you mentioned earlier that it was your grandmother who forced you to wake up early.”

Adrian explained earnestly. “That’s not the main reason. If it wasn’t for the fact that I like you, even if a deity itself came at six in the

morning, they wouldn’t be able to wake me up.

I just want to wake up early, make you breakfast, and express my feelings for you.”

If Deborah remembered correctly, yesterday was her first official meeting with Adrian.

Although they had bumped into each other before, the two of them had never interacted, not even face-to-face.

She racked her brains but couldn’t figure it out. What was it about their brief two-hour encounter yesterday that had made Adrian’s heart flutter?
