Chapter 468 Sorry, I'm Late
Natalie blinked, wondering if she was seeing things.
She rubbed her eyes and stared at the figure in front of her. Her eyes got all watery, and she felt a ton of stuff she wanted to let out.
Adrian was about to give her a hard time for being drunk, but when he saw her teary eyes, he softened up. He gently grabbed her chin and said, "I'm back."
Natalie shot up and threw herself into his arms, hugging him tight.
She started sobbing quietly, like she finally found a place to let it all out.
Adrian's hug was kinda cold, but to Natalie, it felt warm.
"Adrian," she choked out between sobs. "Why'd you come back so late?"
Adrian sighed, "Sorry, I'm late."
Hearing her cry, his fingers shook a bit. He stroked her hair, his fingers sinking into her soft strands, pulling her closer. His voice was rough but comforting. "I'm sorry, I'll be on time from now on."
"You said you'd be gone for a few days. It's been a week," she mumbled into his chest.
Adrian lowered his head and kissed the top of her head gently.
Hearing her cry, he realized he was in deep.
Her sobs tore him apart.
At first, he was just obsessed with her body, making her his out of sheer possessiveness. But now, Adrian knew he couldn't live without Natalie.
"I'll be on time from now on," he promised.
He didn't ask why she was crying or why she got so drunk. He just held her and comforted her. Natalie cried herself out or maybe the booze took over, and she slowly fell asleep in his arms.
Adrian picked her up and carried her to her bedroom.
Mindy stood outside the door, her heart racing, eyes wide with shock.
She never thought a guy like Adrian could be so soft and caring with a woman.
It was mind-blowing.
This Natalie must have some serious magic. Mindy felt a newfound respect for her, even wondering if she'd been neglecting Natalie lately.
She originally planned to have Karen strike back once Alice recovered, but now she felt Alice was no match for Natalie at all.
Mindy decided she needed to take good care of Natalie. She thought of a few good scripts she had and wondered if Natalie would be interested.
When Natalie woke up the next morning, her head was pounding. She stared at the ceiling, her mind blank for a few seconds, then the headache hit like needles. She realized she was home.
She remembered last night and let out a self-mocking laugh, closing her eyes.
Suddenly, Adrian's deep, rough voice sounded in her ear. "Awake?"
That familiar, sexy voice left her stunned.
She didn't expect anyone else to be in her bedroom.
But she knew that voice. Could last night's hallucination be real? Was it really Adrian?
She turned her head and saw the man lying next to her. Her eyes widened, quickly filling with tears. She didn't know why, but seeing him made her want to cry. Last night felt like a bad dream.
"Adrian," her soft voice trembled, tinged with sobs.
