Chapter 198 - Lunch (2/2)

--------

”Why are you still up?” Adam questioned her as he looked at the time.

It was already past midnight and the two love birds had spent their entire day doing their own chores but keeping the video call going on. They would either place the phone somewhere close to them when the other person was busy. Their phones were continuously being charged as well at the same time as none of them wanted the call to end.

Adam had gone to attend some of the policemen which had come over to share with him some of the evidence they had so far collected. Although, it wasn't allowed normally, but for Adam they decided to make an exception, more like he forced them to do so. He had left his phone back in the bedroom as it wouldn't have done him or his team any good. He remembered ordering her strictly that she must be enjoying her deep slumber before he gets done with his work.

But listening to him easily, how could she do that?

”I couldn't sleep.” She replied as she tried to stifle a yawn but failed miserably.

”Yeah, yeah. I could clearly see that.” He shook his head sideways. 'What would I do with her?'

”Stella? I won't be going anywhere. I am just a call away. You know that, right?” He tried to coax her. He wondered how did the tables turn around so quickly. He was the one being reluctant to leave. He was the one acting like a kid at the airport. She was the one bucking him up all that time, acting like the mature one between the two. Adam could only shook his head looking at the spoiled kid pouting in his phone's screen. But who else was to be blamed for this if not him.

”But….” Stella tried to reason with him but was interrupted right away.

”No buts.” Adam refused to listen to her. There was only one thing in which he couldn't compromise on, her health.

”Okay.” Stella agreed to him pursing her lips again in a pout. She knew it was useless to argue with him any further.

”I see you have already changed into your nightwear.” He exclaimed as his eyes drifted to the black t-shirt she was wearing.

”I changed when you are busy with your work.” She answered him while yawning, she didn't bother to suppress it any longer.

”I am going to go and change. And when I come back, I want you to be fast asleep by then.” He firmly added, getting a nod from her in response.

He placed the phone down on the bed and left to change. When he came back, he saw her fast asleep, just like he had asked her. As she had placed the phone in such an angle that he could see her face clearly when he returns, supporting it with a pillow. A smile graced his face as he placed a kiss on his phone's screen.

”Good night, my love.” He wished his sleeping beauty before drifting off to his own dream land.
