Chapter 414
Natalia did not know what to say. She had no idea why her cheeks had heated up. She lowered her head and bit her bottom lip to conceal her shy smile.
The way Adrian defended her in front of this woman, it touched her heart.
It revealed a protective side of him, leading her to believe it was her Adrian.
"Let's go," Adrian murmured, dragging her upstairs.
Natalia parted her lips, not knowing where they were going.
She cast a glance behind her at the others. She saw Adrian's father was not happy at all. Grace appeared perplexed by her husband's behavior.
When Adrian brought Natalia upstairs, she noticed him take her to their bedroom.
She fixed her gaze on her handsome husband as they walked together.
She glanced at her hand that he was holding gently, as if she were fragile to him.
She wanted to hide her shyness from him. Her eyes were filled with tears. She still could not believe that he was back.
Adrian opened the door, and they stepped inside. Adrian let go of her hand and looked around to see if everything was still the same as before.
Natalia smiled as she looked at him and closed the door.
But as soon as she closed the door, Adrian turned around and pressed her back against the door.
Natalia let out a loud gasp.
Adrian moved closer to her. He lowered his head to meet her level and asked,
"I asked you how you were. You did not reply to me, baby. Are you mad at me?"
Natalia could not hold back her tears, which streamed down her face.
"I was not well, Adrian. I was sad, upset, and mad at you. I had been searching for you for so long. Do you know how many nights I cried and how many days I spent at the border waiting for you?"
Adrian's eyes moved as he noticed her tears. He lifted his hands and wiped them with his thumbs.
He cupped his cheeks and tilted his head. He whispered into his lips,
'I missed you, too. But I was not in a condition to return."
Hearing him, she glanced at his head. She reached up to touch his head.
"What happened to your head? Did you get hurt? Is it still painful?"
He grabbed her hand and placed it around his neck.
*Don't worry about me. I am sorry for everything that has happened over the past few days. You can punish me for keeping you waiting. But please don't cry, baby."
The realization dawned on Natalia that he had become more gentle in front of her. He was not as angry in front of her as he was in front of others a while ago.
For her, he was her Adrian.noveldrama
"I don't want to punish you. I am happy that you are back."
He smirked and asked, "How happy?"
With a flush, Natalia tried to shove him.
'Let's talk about it late-.'
He did not let her complete her sentence as he grabbed the back of her neck and smashed his lips against hers.
