The Kiss that Sparked it All novel Chapter 1627

Adrian glanced around cautiously before answering. "I'm not trying to make a run for it. I just want to take a look upstairs. I'll be right back."

Lea looked baffled. "What are you going to look for upstairs?"

Adrian explained, "As you know, I'm not Tristan. I think I just heard my mom's voice coming from upstairs. I want to see if she's here."

Lea was taken aback. "Your mom is here?!"

Adrian raised a finger to his lips, signaling her to lower her voice. "I'm not sure. That's why I want to check. Aunt Lea, could you cover for me while I sneak upstairs? I'll be back in no time."

Lea rubbed her chin thoughtfully before saying decisively, "No way!"

Adrian furrowed his brows, looking quite disappointed. "Why not?"

"Because I promised your dad that I'd keep an eye on you and not let you wander off on your own."

Adrian objected. "I'm not wandering off. I just want to take a peek. If my mom isn't there, I'll be right back."

Lea raised her eyebrows. "And if your mom is there? Are you going to go home with her then? How am I supposed to explain that to your dad?"

Adrian stuttered, realizing that his plan might not be the best. "Er... even if I see my mom, I won't go home with her. Is that okay?"

Lea responded firmly. "No way! I always keep my word. I promised your dad that I’d keep an eye on you, and I'll make sure I do so."
