Chapter 94 - CLANK!!! (1/2)

The next few days went by. Adam was quite busy dealing with the work that was piled up in his absence. But no matter how busy he was dealing with his work or attending meetings after meetings, he would always make time for his little elf. They would eat their breakfast and dinner together, and sometimes lunch too.

Soon the day of Rachel's birthday party arrived. Luckily, it was a Saturday and the couple finally had time for themselves.

After having their breakfast, the couple headed to the garden that was located beside the mansion. They laid down on the grass, Stella cushioning her head on his arm as if it was a pillow, for her, it actually was.

Adam was lying down on his side, his eyes set on the girl, who was resting on his arm peacefully, with a soft smile embracing his lips.

The weather was cloudy with no Sun to warm up the day, so he wasn't worried about her getting sunburn.

”Katherine told me that you used to stay away from girls all your life, even when you were in kindergarten.” Stella spoke up out of nowhere, shifting slightly so that she could see his face.

Adam shrugged in response. ”Yeah!”

”Why is that?” Stella asked him, giving him a questioning look.

”I just find them too troublesome.” Adam replied as he played with a lock of her hairs, twirling it around his finger.

”Excuse me! Am I not a girl?” Stella asked him in return, glaring at him with her eyes narrowed and her lips puckered up in a pout.

Adam looked up from her the brown locks of her hair. ”You are, sweetheart, but I don't find you troublesome.” He spoke up softly, his deep gray eyes gazing into her hazel ones, filled with tenderness. ”No matter how annoying or troublesome you become, you will always be my little beasty.”

Stella felt a warmth building up in her chest, spreading throughout her body.

”You are good with your words.” Stella replied meekly.

”Oh baby girl! I am good at many things.” Adam replied with a devilish grin. ”Let me show you.” He added as his hand went inside the baggy sweatshirt she was wearing.

Stella gasped as his fingers started to caress her waist. Adam slowly leaned his face in, bringing his lips closer to hers. Before his lips could latch on hers, he heard someone clearing his throat.

Turning his head around, he saw the old butler standing at a distance of a few steps away from them with his eyes cast down on the ground.

”Uncle Rob?” Adam called out. He knew it must be something important, or else the old butler wouldn't have interrupted them.

”This came in for Ms. Stella with a package.” The old butler replied making his way towards the couple.

Adam gave Stella a questioning look to which she shrugged in response. Just like him, she had no idea about the package.
