Daddy! Come Home for Dinner!

Chapter 774: Chapter 774: Cannot Let Cindy Lose Face

Old Master was obsessed with photography for a while and loved to carry his camera around to take pictures of everything.

He would take pictures of tree branches, flowers, and grass in the park.

Although the photos taken by Old Master with his SLR camera were not much different from those taken by a point-and-shoot camera.

But Old Master felt that at least his camera looked impressive and professional.

So, he bought quite a few lenses.

Both long and short focal lengths were available.

But after a while, Old Master lost interest.

The camera and lenses were left to collect dust in the study room.

Now that Old Madam reminded him, Old Master remembered.

“I’ll go get it.” Old Master immediately stood up and went to the study room.

Butler Howard, seeing this, hurriedly followed.

After a while, Old Master came out with a camera bag in his hand, and Butler Howard carried a large box behind him.

Old Master put the camera bag on the tea table, and Aunt Evans cleared some space on the table.

Butler Howard then placed the box on the table as well.

Upon opening it, they found a tripod and several lenses of different models.

“Which one do you want to use?” asked Old Master.

He appeared very generous.

“Just the standard lens is fine,” said Cindy Clarke, choosing the lens that came with the camera when it was purchased.

However, with the two elders, Butler Howard, and Aunt Evans watching closely,

Even Cindy, who was used to recording videos, felt a little embarrassed.

It was hard for her to relax.

It wasn’t just Cindy; even Adrian Zhekova felt the same way.

Although Adrian didn’t particularly enjoy being in front of the camera,

He had faced the lens many times before.

But those occasions were when he had no choice but to appear on camera.

However, those times were interviews or press conferences.

This time, having a conversation with the camera was different.

It felt strange.

Adrian was not used to it at all.

He cleared his throat and said, “How about… we go to the study room to shoot?”

“Grandfather, may we use your study room?” Adrian asked.

“You can film here,” replied Old Master, confused.

The family mansion’s living room was very grandly decorated,

And looked great on camera.

“I am not used to this – it’s my first time not being interviewed, but talking to the camera on my own,” Adrian said.

“This space is too big, and with all of you watching, I don’t think I can speak comfortably,” Adrian explained.

“Cindy and I can go to the study room to shoot by ourselves. That way, we can discuss how to say things and make changes as we go. If no one is watching, I’ll be more relaxed.”

“Look at you, lacking backbone,” Old Master scoffed. “When you’re being interviewed or attending press conferences, with even more cameras and people around, I haven’t seen you look timid or uncomfortable.”

“Isn’t this different?” Adrian argued. “Those occasions were related to work, and I could handle them accordingly. This time, I am introducing myself to Cindy’s fans and announcing our marriage. Since Cindy is their idol, that makes me their idol’s husband. I can’t embarrass her.”

Cindy: “…”

This was getting ludicrous.

“During interviews, the journalists at least ask questions,” Adrian continued. “But now, I have to face an empty camera without anyone asking anything. This is my first time, and I need to adjust to it.”

When Cindy had filmed videos in the past, he had been the one holding the camera.

He had been behind the camera, feeling comfortable.

When Cindy spoke to the camera, he hadn’t felt awkward about it.

But now that it was his turn, it was a different story.

He truly felt embarrassed.

Old Madam noticed and decided not to push him further.

Old Madam was now more anxious than Adrian for him to finish filming the video and upload it.

So she could announce the good news that they were now married.

“Alright then, you and Cindy go to the study room and film, and we won’t disturb you,” Old Madam said. “Since Cindy will be with you, don’t be shy; speak well! You can’t embarrass her!”

Adrian promptly agreed.

Cindy picked up the camera bag, and Adrian took the box containing the tripod and lenses.

They walked a few steps, and then realized that their child was not following them.
