Chapter 1156 Cute
His Adam's apple bobbed as Adrian responded in a hoarse voice, "Yes."
Natalie hugged Adrian's waist. "Honey, honey, you're here too? Let's drink together!"
In drunken state, she was actually quite cute. Adrian hadn't expected that someone who usually appeared so gentle and reserved would act like this when drunk.
He tried to move but found that Natalie was holding his waist tightly. "Natalie, you haven't answered me yet. Who were you drinking with?"
"With my friends."
"Male friends or female friends?" Adrian asked instinctively.
After asking, Adrian was stunned, wondering, 'Do I really just ask that? What is happening to me? I can't get jealous. Natalie is just my wife. So, I am just inquiring about my wife's whereabouts. Yes, that's it.'
Just as he finished convincing himself, suddenly Natalie voiced, "Male friends."
Her mind was in a complete mess. At this moment, knowing that the person beside her was Adrian, she instinctively felt safe and started to get drowsy.
But Adrian kept asking questions making her unble to fall asleep.
"Male friends?" Adrian looked at Natalie. Seeing that she was about to fall asleep, he reached out and pinched her cheek. Despite her being thin, her cheeks still had some flesh, and it felt good to pinch.
Because of Adrian's grip, she puffed her cheeks like a little pufferfish. She looked at him with drowsy eyes, released her arms from around Adrian's waist, and patted his arm. "Honey, honey, let go." She was drunk, and her voice was soft and tender.
Adrian had to admit that calling him honey in her drunken state made him feel a bit hot and bothered, something he couldn't ignore. "Natalie, you are already married. In the future, if you go out drinking with other men, you should inform your family."
He lowered his voice.
Natalie, with her cheeks pinched, mumbled, "I can't hear you. Say it again."
He slightly increased the pressure on her cheeks and then let go. "In the future, will you still go out drinking with other men?"
Natalie thought for a moment and nodded.
Derek and many other friends were male.
She nodded instinctively, completely ignoring Adrian's darkening expression beside her.
Adrian lowered his head to meet her gaze. "When I say no, it means no."
Natalie didn't respond, finding this person in front of her quite inexplicable.
'He wants to control everything. But vaguely, he seems to be angry.' she thought.
Because Adrian bent down to meet her gaze, Natalie raised her hand and gently touched his face.
Imitating Adrian, Natalie also reached out and pinched his cheek.
Seeing his cheeks puff up like a pufferfish, Natalie couldn't help but laugh.
Natalie's fingers were slightly cool, very soft.
Adrian was stunned; no one had ever pinched his face.
He looked at Natalie, seemingly not reacting. But surprisingly, he didn't mind and didn't stop her.
Adrian said, "In the future, if you're coming home late, you need to inform me, okay?"
Natalie's cheeks were tinged with pink, like gentle, radiant cherry blossoms, swaying drunkenly on the branch.
