Seeing him so wronged, Cindy couldn’t bear to scold him.

What he did, sneaking into her room in the middle of the night, was so wrong!

Moreover, when Adrian Zhekova suggested she move in, he had promised her everything.

They would live in separate bedrooms, which made Cindy think he was quite a gentleman.

But now, was there any difference from living in the same bedroom?

However, hearing Adrian’s aggrieved voice, Cindy couldn’t bear to say anything.

This man was someone who always kept his word in the outside world.

Who dares to slap him in the face?

The prestigious heir of the Zhekova Family, the CEO of Pingla Group, and a member of The Big Eight families.

So far, everyone she had met would show respect and fear when they saw him.

But when it came to her, he became so wronged.

Cindy reflected on herself, wondering if she had been too harsh on Adrian.

Just when she was thinking about it, she heard Adrian rush to explain, “I just wanted to come over and hold you while sleeping, to feel at ease. I really just held you, and didn’t do anything else.”

Cindy opened her mouth to speak, and Adrian continued, “I remember, five years ago, when I opened my eyes in the morning, you were gone. The space beside me felt so empty.”

“Even now, thinking about it, I still feel cold,” Adrian said dejectedly, “Although you’ve moved in, it’s because you’re living closer to me that I feel even more afraid. Just like five years ago, when I wake up in the morning to find you gone.”

“So, I need to hold you to feel at ease,” Adrian sighed, “Only by holding you can I feel the reality of your presence, so that I know you won’t suddenly disappear again.”

The way he said it, as if she was the one who had abandoned him five years ago.

Adrian looked at Cindy and smiled contentedly, “It turns out that the feeling of opening my eyes in the morning and having you in my arms, saying good morning to you, is so wonderful.”

“I won’t leave this time,” Cindy hurriedly said, “I won’t disappear without saying goodbye again.”

Listening to what Adrian said, Cindy felt a little suffocated in her heart, regretting even more why she had panicked and run away back then.

Even if she had just taken a good look at him, even just a glance would have been enough!

“You’re so good, I can’t bear to leave,” Cindy muttered, “I won’t leave. If I leave you, wouldn’t I be giving you away to someone else? That would be a huge loss.”

Before, Adrian had never missed a single one of Cindy’s little mutterings.

Now that she was speaking right beside his ear, how could he possibly miss it?

Upon hearing her words, Adrian couldn’t help but chuckle quietly.

At first, it was just a low laugh, but it couldn’t be contained and he started to tremble with laughter.

Eventually, he couldn’t take it anymore, so he buried his face in her hair and laughed out loud.

Cindy felt embarrassed and poked him, “Did I say something funny? Look at you laughing.”

“No,” Adrian shook his head, but continued to laugh hard, speaking disjointedly, “It’s just that you’re so adorable, how could I not laugh?”

And so honest.

Caught off guard by his sudden praise, Cindy didn’t know how to react.

“So we both promise to stay together, you can’t leave me,” Adrian said, “I won’t give you away to anyone else. And even if you want to leave, I won’t let you. No matter where you go, I’ll find you.”

I won’t give you a chance to give me away to someone else.

Adrian said silently in his heart.

He wouldn’t allow it.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt Cindy tighten her hold around his neck.
