Chapter 157

He didn’t like how she always excluded him.

First with the investment, and now with a gift.

It was like she had to keep everything between them perfectly clear–cut.

People said he was cold and distant, but they hadn’t seen her. On the surface, her smile was faint, her manners impeccable.

In reality, she always felt like she was shrouded in a thin mist, as if no one could ever get close to her.

Adrian’s pale fingertips touched the rosary beads on his wrist. His handsome face showed no emotion, but the warmth in his eyes slowly faded.

Annelise noticed and stopped refusing, a smile playing on her lips. “No, I’ll take the heirloom jade charm.”

She looked down at her new waist chain, her eyes curving into crescents. “It suits me well.”

Adrian grunted in agreement, finally able to breathe a little easier. The coldness around his eyes gradually melted away. He looked down at the deep purple heirloom jade charm swinging back and forth on her slender waist, the contrast with her pale skin making it all the more breathtaking.

Unconsciously, he tightened his grip…

Annelise looked up in confusion. “What’s wrong?”

“Nothing.”

Adrian released his hand from her waist and stood in the interplay of light and shadow. His dark eyes were as deep as the Well of Souls, his voice inexplicably hoarse. “Shall we go?”

“Let’s go.”

Annelise had gotten a new accessory, her attention completely on the purple jade pendant at her waist. She didn’t notice the slight bob of the man’s Adam’s apple or the restraint in his

eyes.

A man as serene as a Saintly Figure always becomes exceptionally sexy and dangerous once touched by desire.

He walked behind her, slightly raising his right hand, his fingertips brushing the spot on his neck where she had bitten him. His eyes grew deeper.

In that instant, the rosary beads on his wrist seemed to turn a darker red, as if sensing his emotions. To prevent what was buried deep within him from emerging, the beads emitted a faint glow, as if to bind his true self firmly in a deeper place…

Adrian did indeed have to leave. His schedule here had been set before he returned; he just wanted to squeeze in some time to see a certain someone before his meeting.

The reason Ruby was so surprised was that there was actually someone who could make the boss do something unplanned.

When Dean Lewis came over, the three of them were finally ready to leave.

Dean was holding a black trench coat, ready for the young master to put on.

It was getting cold outside. In the past, the change of seasons was when the was most likely to get sick.

Thankfully, they had the little Miracle Doctor now.

young master

Once Adrian had put on the trench coat, his noble aura intensified, like a member of the 19th–century British royal family. Every gesture carried a crisp elegance. “I’ll come by again tomorrow.”

“Okay.

Annelise toyed with the lavender jade, waving goodbye to him.

A breeze blew past just as the Acacia flowers were falling, and for a moment, the air seemed to be brewing with their faintly sweet fragrance.

Other people wouldn’t notice that piece of Jade.

But Dean, who was in charge of protecting Adrian, was a bit dazed when he saw the little Miracle Doctor’s hand.

Besides surprise, there was also a hint of fear.
