Chapter 234 - A Bad Dream (2/2)

His actions earned him a scowl from his little elf before she questioned him again. ”Where were you all this while? And how did you escape all those blasts?” These questions were troubling her mind a lot. She knew her mind won't rest and her soul won't be at ease unless she gets them answered by him. She was way more than thankful to the heavens above for sending him back to her and that too in a better health.

”It's a long story, I will tell you that some other time. But stop thinking it over and over again.” He shook his head in a no. He didn't think she would be able to handle the whole truth at the moment, and he didn't want to lie to her even the slightest bit.

Stella pursed her lips a pout when he didn't answer her. Giving him an annoyed look she wiped her teary face with his shirt, earning a chuckle from the man whose clothes were being used as a tissue paper. But he could care less even if it was his own self in place of his shirt. She would always be his number one priority.

”Talking about being annoyed, why did you cut your hair so short?” He narrowed his eyes at her face as she tried to avoid looking into his gray orbs. ”Answer me, Stella.” He toughened his voice and asked her.

”Actually, I did not lie to David. What I told him… I mean you earlier, was the truth. They were too long for me to handle while managing the company.” She answered him honestly.

Adam hummed in response as she tucked a few tendrils of her hair behind her ear to get them away from her face as they were blocking his view. ”I have to agree that this hairstyle suits you better. They make you look younger and more adorable, but there's a drawback to it as well.”

”What drawback?” She frowned at the latter part of his sentence.

”Even those pesky teenagers are going to hit on you now. I better hire a whole team of bodyguards to keep those unwanted little flies away from you.” He answered her as he recalled the elevator incident from earlier.

Stella let out a hearty chuckle when she saw his scrunched up face. ”Is someone getting jealous?” She wiggled her eyebrows while enjoying this side of her man.

”Why would I be jealous of them? Are you forgetting whose name is on your marriage certificate, Mrs. Adam Levinson?” His lips curled up in a lop-sided grin when he saw her burying her face in his chest as a faint blush crept up on her cheeks. ”Who's the one blushing now?” He lightly tapped on the back of her head to make her look up.

Stella rolled her eyes as she tried to think of a way to divert the topic away from herself. ”Oh! It's a good thing that you are back. Even if you choose to continue as David, you can at least help me run this whole empire. It's not easy to run an entire conglomerate. It's too much of stress, especially for a pregnant woman.”

Adam hummed in response. ”You are right. I can help you out as your personal assistant since my identity is no longer a secret from you. You won't have to do this....” He trailed off as his mind registered her words from earlier.
