Chapter 155 Puzzled about His Temperament
Early morning.
Natalie opened her eyes.
Then, she slowly widened her eyes, looking at Adrian resting on the side of the bed.
At this moment, Adrian, as if shedding his usual cold mask, had an unparalleled handsome face but without any aggressiveness.
Natalie breathed lightly.
She carefully examined Adrian's features.
When Adrian was awake, he always had a cold expression, but his eyelashes were particularly thick, like a thick brush. Natalie couldn't help but reach out and gently touch them.
Last night felt like a dream.
Natalie was in a desperate situation, but Adrian had descended like an angel.
Natalie snapped back to reality.
She met a pair of blue eyes, which seemed like bottomless oceans.
She quickly tried to retract her hand.
But it was too late.
Adrian suddenly grabbed her hand. His blue eyes gradually widened, and his voice was tinged with the laziness of just waking up. "Were you peeking at me?"
Natalie's cheeks turned slightly red. "No."
She wanted to pull her hand back, but Adrian held it tightly.
Natalie hadn't expected Adrian to be awake.
She felt a slight annoyance in her heart, but she was also afraid of making Adrian angry.
"How stubborn!" Adrian tightly squeezed her hand. Natalie's hands were very tender, and Adrian felt that her hand in his palm was very soft, making his grip involuntarily lighter. "Dare not admit it?"
Adrian reached out with his other hand, lifting Natalie's chin and raising her head. Their eyes met. Adrian's gaze was deep and cool, and Natalie's eyes felt very warm as if they could melt the cold of ice and snow. Adrian looked into Natalie's beautiful eyes. Even if he didn't like Natalie, there was one thing he had to admit. Her eyes were really beautiful, like pure water, a kind of beauty without impurities.
"You tell me, were you peeking at me just now?" Adrian asked again.
Natalie hadn't expected Adrian to keep asking this question. Her face turned red with shyness.
Natalie's voice was soft, light, and slightly trembling. "Mr. Howard, I'm sorry. I'll be more careful in the future."
Natalie saw Adrian's face darken, and she bit her lip in regret. Had she upset Adrian again?
As soon as Natalie finished speaking, Adrian's expression worsened.
He suddenly rolled over, pinning Natalie beneath him.
"What do you need to be careful about?"
Natalie exclaimed.
Adrian's hand was large. He easily held Natalie's two hands with one hand, placing them on the pillow above her head. He leaned down, his compelling face only a centimeter away from Natalie's.
As he spoke, his breath brushed against Natalie's face.
Natalie's face suddenly turned red.
She had intimate contact with Adrian before and had been this close to him, but at this moment, as Adrian spoke, his warm breath fell on Natalie's face, and he stared at her without blinking.
Natalie began to feel anxious.
"I'll ask you one last time, were you peeking at me?" Adrian repeated.
Natalie hesitated for a few seconds and nodded. Regardless of whether Adrian would be angry or not, she felt embarrassed. "Yes."
Natalie had expected Adrian to get angry, but she hadn't expected that after hearing her words, Adrian's expression improved a lot. He smiled slightly. "If you want to look, just look directly. I won't blame you."
Natalie was unsure of Adrian's temperament.
But Natalie knew that Adrian disliked her.
In the past, if Adrian had caught Natalie peeking at him, he would definitely have been unhappy, and Natalie would have been very embarrassed.
Just a moment ago, Natalie looked like he was about to get angry, but now he didn't seem as angry.
These days, Adrian's temper had been changing all the time, leaving Natalie puzzled.
Natalie cautiously nodded her head, carefully watching Adrian's expression. Seeing no signs of continued anger, she spoke, "I got it, Mr. Howard."
