Chapter 576
Before Eva had a chance to refuse, she saw Adrian quickly unbuttoning his shirt.
She then realized that Adrian wasn’t joking about joining her in the bath; he was serious.
She said a bit flustered, “There’s no need; I can soak by myself, just bring me my tablet p>
But Adrian, as if not understanding her, smiled and said, “Aren’t you bored? If I’m with you, you won’t need the tablet.” Eva was speechless.
While she wanted to thank him, she actually wanted the tablet more.
She didn’t think that Adrian sincerely wanted to take a bath either.
Thinking of this, Eva blurted out, “Will you actually just soak with me? Or do you have another motive p>
At this, Adrian’s actions paused slightly. A moment later, his lips curled up, his gaze capturing hers in an instant.
“Is it that obvious that I have another motive p>
As he finished speaking, his gaze slowly moved downwards, landing somewhere.
Eva started sinking into the water again, but before she could, her arm was caught by Adrian.
“We’re married; what’s the use of hiding p>
“I don’t want you to see me like this. Let go of me p>
“No p>
Adrian tightened his grip on her arm, “Not unless you agree to let me soak with you p>
Although he seemed to be asking for her opinion, the hand undressing himself didn’t hesitate at all. With one hand still holding her arm, the other had already removed his shirt in a few swift moves. Then he looked at her innocently, “What should I do? I’m already undressed, so if you don’t let me soak, I’ll catch a cold p>
“You p>
After seeing his bare chest and shameless expression, Eva was rendered speechless. After a long time, she could only choke out, “No, you can’t soak; you haven’t cleaned yourself yet.” “Oh.” Adrian raised an eyebrow, “So if I clean myself, I can soak with you? Then wait for me for five minutes p>
With that, he let go of her arm.
Eva was truly at a loss.
Soon, Adrian stood up and turned on the shower. The sound of water filled the bathroom again.
Compared to the hiding Eva, Adrian was very open and natural in showing his body.
His figure was excellent. The clear water slid from his perfect skull to his clear jawline; from his chest to his smooth abdomen, and then further down p>
Eva turned her head away, not daring to look anymore.
She pursed her pink lips as her heart pounded rapidly.
She didn’t know if she was so shy because she had lost her memory, or if she had always been this shy. Anyway, Adrian’s straightforward personality really caught her off guard. Just as before, just as now p>
He was too passionate; his feelings for her were like a fire, so intense that she sometimes couldn’t catch them.
The sound of the water echoed in her ears; each splash seemed to announce that he would step into this bathtub next.
With every passing moment that she thought about it, Eva’s ears turned red; she even forgot about the tablet.
She didn’t know how much time had passed when the sound of water suddenly stopped. The bathroom was suddenly quiet, which made Eva’s heart skip a beat.
She didn’t dare to look over, fearing that she would see something she shouldn’t.
So, she could only turn her face to the side and soon felt someone stepping into the water. The not-so-calm hot water in the bathtub rippled as someone entered, as if hitting Eva’s heart. Her breathing became a bit rapid, and then she heard a low voice asking, “Why aren’t you looking at me p>
Before she could answer, Eva’s arm was pulled, and she was drawn into Adrian’s arms. Her back was now pressed against his warm chest.
Eva stammered, “You p>
She was so nervous that she wanted to struggle, but Adrian held her tightly, his arm like a chain around her.
And her ear was against something warm and wet.
“Don’t hide.” Adrian’s lips were close to her ear, his voice almost a whisper, “I’ll just hold you and soak quietly. But if you keep hiding, I can’t promise what I’ll do p>
The last sentence seemed like a threat.
If she didn’t run, he wouldn’t move. But if she did run, whatever happened next wouldn’t be his fault.
Although she wanted to refute him, considering his character of always doing as he said, she could only lean against him.
“Then you promise not to do anything p>
“Hmm p>
“I promise p>
His voice was even more hoarse.
With such a hoarse voice promising her, it didn’t seem very reliable no matter how she heard it.
So, Eva didn’t trust him. But, to her surprise, Adrian really just held her and soaked in the bath. He didn’t do anything else and didn’t even move his hand, as if he was just simply soaking. Eva went from being tense at first to gradually relaxing.
This was her father’s house. If something really happened between her and Adrian here, wouldn’t it be too awkward? She thought.
Fortunately, Adrian kept his promise.
So, in the end, Eva completely relaxed and leaned against Adrian, closing her eyes to enjoy the comfort of the bath.
The hot water washed away all the fatigue. Having Adrian as a backrest was much more comfortable than the hard surface of the bathtub.
She secretly smiled, feeling that as long as Adrian wasn’t so passionate and crazy, it was quite easy to get along with him; she felt very relaxed.
