Chapter 23 - His way of comforting (2/2)

Her grandfather. the only one who cared for her truly died on her 19th birthday.

Having wakened up from her deep thoughts, Celestia's eyes began to widen in shock as a pair of strong warm arms suddenly hugs her sideward, cupping her body in his arms.

"Stop crying Celestia" his husky voice, comforted her, her cheeks were already wet from tears, she did not notice it, this is the first time she cried after her grandfather passed away, She never cried when the whip landed on her back, each one more painful than the other yet...why is she crying now?

Maybe because she found another person who will never abandon her again, someone who will always be by her side.

But wait, did Adam just called me Celestia?! Her tears immediately stopped and replaced by a wide smile, this man is slowly opening up his heart!

She doubted he has one before though.

"What are you laughing at?" the man returned on being his grumpy self, although he is relieved deep inside that she stopped crying. This woman surely is moody.

"You called me by my name mister! This is the first one!" she giggled, freeing herself from his arms.

She does not want to but she feels she is already overstaying her rent although Adam does not mind even if she stays in his arms forever for free.

Forever really? Adam scoffed at the word. He is absolutely shaken.

"I can always call you by your name if that will make you satisfied" Adam replied.

'Please call me by my name always, so I won't forget, I won't forget my identity as the Princess of Thusha,'

'However, for now, let me be reckless with you Adam'

She smiled as few of teardrops fell.
