Chapter 453

Natalia’s hands moved to his shoulders. Adrian thought she would push him away. But Natalia did

not push him. Instead, she rubbed his shoulders and moved her fingers to his soft locks.

When he felt her fingers on his hair, his grip tightened around her.

Natalia was silent, which gave him peace..

He was holding her in silence, which was exactly what he needed at that moment.

After a while, he unwrapped his hands and raised his head to look at her. When his head moved, it

brushed against her breasts.

She looked into his eyes without saying anything.

Adrian ran his hands on her back and got to his feet.

He motioned her to the closet and said,

“Go and change your dress. You can’t sleep in this dress.”

She assumed it was a signal for her to join him in bed. Without anything in her mind, she nodded

her head and got down from the couch.

She went to the closet and looked through her dresses. She grabbed a nightgown and went to the

bathroom to change.

Adrian sat back on the couch, staring at the bathroom door.

His phone, which was on the small table near him, rang.

He glanced at the caller’s name.

He did not receive the call.

Rather, he reached for the cigarette packet and pulled out one. When he lit the cigarette, his phone

stopped ringing.

However, after a second, it started to ring again.

He let the smoke out of his mouth, then grabbed his phone and received it.

As soon as he got the call, the person on the other end spoke up,

“Alpha Adrian.”

White listening to the person, Adrian took a deep puff of smoke.

“I was informed that you were looking for me,” the person said with a strong voice.

Adrian was quiet, which caught the other person off guard.

“Alpha, is there anything serious? Why do you suddenly need me? I never thought you would ever

search for me.”

This time, Adrian broke the silence and said,

“Did I disturb your daily life? Were you in any experiments?”

“Well, you can say that.”

“I don’t care.”

“Yeah, I know. That is why I am curious why you are suddenly thinking about me. You never search

for me, even though I have heard you are on the verge of death. So why did you suddenly feel the

need for my assistance?”

“It is time for you to pay me back,” Adrian said.

The person remained silent for a moment before asking,

“What happened, Alpha?”

Adrian glanced at the bathroom door as he answered.

“It’s Leightons.”

“They are back?”

Adrian was about to respond when the door to the bathroom opened. He moved his phone away

from his ear and ended the call.

His gaze was drawn to Natalia, who was dressed in a black, sexy nightgown.

Natalia approached the couch to see what he was doing.

After switching it off, he placed his phone on the table.

He stood up, causing her to stop walking.

She let out a gasp as he bent down and lifted her into his arms.

He walked over to the bed and laid her down. She bit her bottom lip, thinking he was engulfed in

lust. In her assumption, he wanted to have her right now, and since he was in pain, she wanted to

give in.

She was taken aback when he went to turn off all the lights and returned to the bed.

Her eyes widened when he climbed on top of her and kissed her forehead before saying,

“When I said I wanted you, I didn’t mean to have sex. I know you are mad at me, and you have all

the right to do that. I won’t do anything until I solve your confusion and break your anger. I don’t

want you to think that I am using your body for my desire.”

She looked at him. The moonlight streaming in through the window allowed her to see his face.

After lowering himself, he leaned against her chest and rested his head there.

He hugged her body and muttered,

“Let’s sleep like this. Just hold me in your arms. I promise that I will make everything right.”
