Chapter 14
Adrian got busy dealing with some officials and others, the party almost came to an end when a guy approached Avery. "Ca…. Congratulations Mrs. Anderson" He congratulated the tired woman. He was dressed casually much simpler than others. It was not impossible to mistake him as a servant had he dressed like one. Avery nodded politely and mouthed a thank you. She was too tired to deal with others now, her feet were begging her to take the sandals off. The man just stood there and stared at her without a word. Avery looked at him, smiled a few times. Soon, she started feeling uncomfortable. He glared at her for a few more seconds before he left her alone. She heaved a sigh of relief. What a weirdo! Who stares at someone like that so openly.
Even after the man had left, she could still feel as if someone was keeping watch on her. She looked here and there a few times but saw no one. A hand was placed on her back and as she turned back, she met the jade green pair of eyes again. Adrian had returned, noticing the tiredness in her eyes he took her hand and pulled her towards their bedroom. She struggled to walk as it hurt her in those high heels, when Adrian saw her limping he scooped her up in his arms and made his way to their bedroom. She didn't say a word neither did Adrian. It was almost midnight. He pushed open the door and he was going to ask Avery to change into comfortable clothes but she had already fallen asleep. He made her lay on the bed gently, before he started opening the button of his shirts as his gaze landed on this sleeping woman, her beautiful plum pink lips, her white smooth skin, something seemed to have awakened inside his ferocious beast.
