Her phone vibrated again. This time, it was a call from Adrian!
What the hell! Why was he calling her at this time? Did he somehow know what she was up to? No, that couldn’t be possible!
Ciara took a deep breath and answered the phone, Adrian’s impatient voice came immediately.
“Come to my room, right now!”
He then hung up.
The call lasted no more than five seconds.
Ciara’s eyebrows arched in confusion. She tiptoed away from the fourth floor and went to Adrian’s room. She didn’t want to keep him waiting, for fear of incurring his wrath.
Her heart was lodged firmly in her throat as she knocked on the door. She pushed the door open after Adrian responded.
She got in and was even more confused to find him lying awake on his bed in the dimly lit room. “What’s up? Why are you awake at this time? Do you feel any discomfort?”
Instead of answering her question, Adrian lifted the quilt.
Alina, who Ciara had been looking everywhere for, was curled up right next to Adrian. She was holding his arm tightly.
“Didn’t you say that she wouldn’t disturb me? How come you didn’t even notice when she left your room?” Adrian’s eyebrows knitted, and impatience was written all over his face.
“Ermm. 1, was fast asleep. It seems she’s frightened by the thunder” Ciara smiled apologetically. “Don’t be mad. I’ll take her away.”
“Be quick about it!”
Adrian didn’t move a muscle. He just stared at Ciara as if he was about to flare up.
Ciara quickly bent over to pick up the child.
Much to their surprise, Alina held on to Adrian’s sleeve and refused to let go.
“Sweetie, you can’t sleep here. Let’s go back to my room, okay?” Ciara crooned softly, trying to loosen Alina’s grip.
Alina sobbed with her eyes closed. She grabbed Adrian’s sleeve with her other hand and struggled with all her might.
Ciara felt sorry for her, but she had to break the girl’s grip.
Suddenly, Alina burst into tears and her face turned red. She grabbed hold of Adrian’s arm tightly with both hands.
Adrian tried to get rid of her grip, but Alina’s cry grew louder.
“I’ll take her away right now!”
Ciara pulled the little girl away. She used so much strength that it ripped Adrian’s silk robe open. His beautiful collarbone and hard chest came into view.
Adrian froze for a second.
Ciara gasped and looked away, her face turning red.
“Damn it! She drooled on my clothes. What’s all this?” Adrian angrily cursed as soon as he regained his composure.
Ciara took a quick look at his robe, and saw that there was a damp splotch.
She coughed and tried to fasten his robe back.
“It’s no use. It’s already wet. I refuse to wear it anymore. Take it away.” Adrian said arrogantly.
After a short pause, she pulled open the collar of his robe again. “Then let it stay this way. It’ll dry faster.”
Adrian didn’t know what to say. His face fell.
Ciara took a piece of tissue from the bedside. table to wipe the supposed saliva. A few seconds later, she muttered, “This isn’t saliva, but tears. It will dry in no time. Just wear it like that for the rest of the night, okay?”
“That’s not the main issue here. How can I sleep like this?” Adrian uttered in a gloomy tone and looked at the kid who was holding his arm tightly again.
Alina was no longer weeping. She only sobbed and sniffed from time to time.
Ciara suddenly sneezed, and her head began to ache.
Although the heating was on in this room, she was freezing because she was wearing only a silk nightdress. She sneezed over and over again.
This irritated Adrian greatly. He stared at his wife, who was trembling and pursed his lips.
“Sorry about…” Just as Ciara sniffed and began to say something, he scooted to the side to make room for her.
“Get under the quilt and make her sleep before you take her away. I can’t handle any more of her sobbing.” Adrian said flatly.
Ciara zoned out with her eyes fixed on his handsome face.
“Hurry up! If you keep dawdling. I’ll throw you two out together.” Adrian frowned. His patience was running thin.
Ciara came back to her senses. She lifted the quilt and lay down carefully. A comforting warmth enveloped her as soon as she was tucked in.
The sudden warmth made Ciara sleepy. She pressed her head into the pillow, breathing deeply. A pleasant scent filled her nostrils.
Ciara wondered if her bed felt cold to Alina, so the little girl looked for something warmer and accidentally came to Adrian’s room.
Ciara was silent for a while. Adrian glanced over to her to see her eyes were drooping. “If you dare fall asleep first, I’ll throw you out,” he said coldly.
Ciara grumbled into the pillow, “I know what I am doing. Why are you so angry?”
He was being difficult and cold-hearted for no apparent reason.
She adjusted herself and started patting Alina’s back, trying to comfort her to sleep.
Alina’s sobs gradually subsided, and she held. Adrian’s arm tightly. It was as if she was stubbornly holding onto a beloved toy.
“Alina, do you want to hear a story? Have you heard the story of Little Red Riding Hood?” Ciara asked gently.
When Alina didn’t respond, Adrian sneered, “Would that really help? That’s a horrible story. It could traumatize her.”
At this, Ciara raised her eyebrows in challenge. “Okay, how about you tell her a story?”
