Chapter 456
Natalia stared at Adrian for a long time. He also did not move his hand away from her head.
None of them broke eye contact.
Natalia felt ease in her heart. She almost assumed that this man had changed again, but she was wrong. In front of her was the Adrian who could do anything for her and her happiness.
“Adrian, you were telling me the truth, right? That child→→
“Not mine,” he cut her off.
She let out a long breath.
But then, in the blink of her eyes, Adrian leaned down and planted a kiss on her lips.
It was only for a second because the next thing Natalia felt was him removing his hand from her head. She watched him move away, heading to the closet.
She slowly lifted her hand and touched her lips. Her cheeks flushed.
She got down from the bed and moved toward the closet.
She stood next to him, watching him take out his clothes.
She focused her gaze on his injured arm from last night.
It was healing, so she was relieved. Her gaze shifted upward and stopped on his forehead.
She looked at his wound carefully. She wondered how he got it.
“You haven’t told me how you got this wound,” she mumbled.
He turned his head to face her and noticed her worried yet curious look at the same time.
“I am afraid if I tell you, you won’t be able to hear it.”
His words sent shivers around her spine. She realized what he had meant by that.
She inhaled and asked,
“Was it so painful that I can’t hear it?”
He smiled at her and shuffled her hair.
“It’s so excruciating that you will encircle me in a fearful embrace for eternity.” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .
Her eyes widened. He let out a chuckle at her expression.
She pushed his hand away and asked,
“Is it too painful? Even more painful than how I almost pierced your chest?”
She reminded him of the wound on his chest that did not heal for a long time, or she could say that he did not let it heal. She was the one who healed that wound on their wedding night.
Adrian moved closer to her, which caused her to press her back against the closet door.
Adrian came to her eyes level and replied,
“Frankly speaking, that was the most painful wound in my life. I went to save a woman who I love, but she wanted to kill me. I felt like dying at that time. But I thought it was my redemption.”
Natalia blinked her eyes and looked away from him. She should not have brought up the past again. She only wanted to tell him that she could handle hearing anything.
“If you are so curious, why don’t you wait for a while?”
She shook her head and gazed at him.
However, she froze when she saw his eyes shift from black to brown.
“Y–Your eyes. What’s with the sudden change?”
He shut his eyes as if he were in pain. He murmured with a painful tone,
“It’s because of the wound.”
