Chapter 193 - My Woman (2/2)

The old man could only nod while cursing those two idiots for not only ruining his party but ruining Adam's mood.

”Let's go back to home, sweetheart.” Adam added as he looked at Stella, smiling a little as he looked at her tenderly.

Stella nodded her head, agreeing with him as she returned his smile with her own.

The duo walked out of the hall under the scrutinizing gaze of the crowd.

”That was awesome.” Stella couldn't help but give him a thumbs up for saving her lousy arse back there, still clinging to his figure.

”Nobody can mess with my woman.” His words brought a smile on her face again but it didn't last for long when she heard his next sentence. ”Except for me.”

Judging from the way he was looking at her, she knew that she was in deep trouble. Like deep, deep trouble. ”I am sorry.” She added meekly. Knowing him, there was no way to even try to deny that she didn't pulled that stunt off deliberately.

”What if the call would have taken long and I wouldn't have arrived there in time?” He narrowed his eyes at her before pinching her cheek a little hard.

”Eeeee! I just knew that you would arrive just in time to save your damsel.” She winked at him while rubbing her cheek.

Adam let out a chuckle as he kissed the top of her head at her cuteness. How could he resist her when she was being so cute.

Getting inside the car, Adam was about to ask her where she would like to go for dinner but Stella beat him to it.

”Where would you like to go for dinner? Someplace where we can have our privacy and where you can tell me what's bothering you?”

Her words shocked him a little, especially the latter part. How did she know about it? How did she guess so perfectly that there was something troubling his mind?

”You can choose the place, my love. And there's nothing bothering me?” He replied to her after gaining his composure back.

”Oh really? Then can you please explain to me why do you smell like you just had a cigarette?” She smiled at him.

”I-I ran into a friend who offered me one, so I took a drag. That's all.” Adam cleared his throat and answered her. He turned on the ignition of the car and asked Stella again about her preference for dinner.

”Drive the car to that spot there.” She added while point towards the far most corner of the parking lot. Adam was confused by her sudden demand but still listened to her nonetheless.
