Adrik's heart skipped a bit, and he gazed intently at Leia. Why wasn't she reacting? How important was this guy to her? Why wasn't his little wife reacting to that young man insulting him over and over again? Why the hell is she keeping quiet? Is she...
His hands balled tightly into a fist and, without any more delay, he pulled the car door open and stepped in. "Let's go." He said to the driver, and the driver nodded before he started the car's engine and drove off at a normal speed.
Leia's face slowly darkened at Shawn's words, and she slapped his hands away. "Shawn, I am married and I am happy in my marriage, so please do not do anything stupid. It was nice seeing you!!" With that being said, she walked away from him. However, Shawn grabbed her by the wrist, stopping her. "Leia, I know you're not serious. He's probably sca-"
"Shawn, stop it!!" She snatched her hand from him and walked away to her car. She unlocked it and stepped in, then shut the door, ignoring Shawn, who was gazing at her with dilated eyes. She started the car engine and drove off down the road, accelerating at a normal speed.
"Fuck!!" She punched the steering wheel and a deep breath fled her nose. Why now of all times? Why now, when everything was going okay for her? Just why?
How is she going to tell Adrik about Shawn when she reaches home? That is something she certainly must do because if she doesn't, it's definitely going to create a big problem one day. She pinched between her brows and focused her attention on the road ahead of her.

Adrik, who had arrived home, took his shower and swathed himself in his white robe, then walked to the sofa to sit down and placed his laptop on his lap. Currently, it is 6 pm.
Outside, the bodyguard pulled the fine unique gate open, and Leia smoothly drove in and parked the car in the parking lot. She stepped down and shut the door, then locked it before making her way into the mansion.
She passed the living room and strolled towards their room. She pushed the door open and stepped in, shutting it behind her.
She turned around and her gaze fell on Adrik, who was seated on the couch with his laptop on his lap and AirPods in his ears.
A warm smile formed on her lips and she strolled towards him, then squatted down and cupped his cheeks with her hands. Adrik raised his eyes to stare at her, and she smiled lovingly at him. As though something had deeply hurt him, he half smiled at her and gently caressed her hair. "How are you?" He asked, and she nodded at him. "I am pretty good." She placed a soft kiss on his lips and then stood up to walk to the bathroom and take a nice shower.
Adrik stared at her disappearing back and a low sigh left his nose. Maybe it's all just a misunderstanding. He believes his little wife will never hurt him. They love each other.
A cherishing smile made its way to his lips, and he continued to work on his laptop.
After she was done showering, Leia stepped out of the bathroom, wrapped up in a white towel. She strolled to the dressing room and walked in, shutting the door behind her.
She took at least five minutes before she stepped out of the dressing room, clad in purple pyjamas. She ambled towards Adrik and took a seat beside him on the divan.
She wrapped her arms around his muscular arm and placed her head on his shoulder. "What are you doing?" She asked, and Adrik turned his head to glance at her. He smiled and pointed at something on the laptop. "Nothing much, just assessing and arranging some files. I want them to be in order, to not be confusing and scattered."
Leia nodded her head and gave him a light kiss on the jaw, then shut her eyes.
Finally, when Adrik was done with his work, it was already 8 pm. He glanced at Leia, whose head was placed on his shoulder, to see her sound asleep.
He dropped his laptop on the mini table, then gently laid her back on the sofa as he stood up. He leaned down and lifted her from the couch, then carried her to the bed.
He laid her down and climbed in to lie down beside her. He covered them with the white sheet and wrapped his arms around her belly, then pulled her closer to him and rested his head on her neck.

The next day came in the blink of an eye, and Leia, who had stepped out of the bathroom after her shower, walked into the dressing room.
Her face altered in great annoyance as she grabbed a pair of blue shorts and a white shirt. Today, her best friends are going to get it from her.
She scoffed and slid into the clothes, then covered her feet in white trainers. She walked out of the dressing room and made her way to the table, then gave her hair a nice combing
and let it fall, although it didn't reach shoulder length. It was still quite short.
A deep breath escaped from her nose and she grabbed the car key from the table, proceeding to leave. Adrik had woken up before her and left for work before she woke up.
She stepped out of the room and shut the door, then made her way out of the mansion and proceeded towards the car.

Victor sat on his one-man sofa, with crossed legs and eyes focused on his phone and the laptop on his lap.
A light knock came on his door and an annoyed groan erupted from his throat. God! If only the person at the door knew how lazy he was to stand up and open the door for him or her.
The light knock came again, and he dropped his laptop on the table, then stood up from the couch. He strolled to the door and peeped through the small hole to see who it was.
He instantly flinched back when his eyes met a pair of angry eyeballs. He swallowed and slowly opened the door. His gaze fell on Leia, who stood with a darkened expression on her face.
"What have I done this time?" He asked with an awkward smile on his face.
