His Domineering Lover

As she passed by Adrian, he cried out inwardly, "Oh no!" Her body was pulled right into his arms as if it didn't weigh anything at all.

Aleigha was very thin. Adrian hugged her into her arms. His brows furrowed slightly and he said grumpily. "You've lost weight again? Have you been eating like you should lately?"

"There are people around here, Mr. Xiao. So would you mind...?" Aleigha gnashed her teeth slightly and was very angry.

Adrian's hand caressed her waist, and the unhappiness in his eyes intensified. "If you can't take care of yourself well, I'll personally do that for you."

"I don't want my woman walking around like a skeleton. It's almost as if I can't afford to buy you food."

"His woman? He's gotta be kidding me."

"Adrian Xiao." Aleigha's cold eyes darkened as she glared at Adrian. She was so angry that her fear for him disappeared.

When their eyes met, Adrian saw the coldness in her eyes. Not only was he not angry, he even let out a slight chuckle.

"Blowing your nostrils, aren't you? What's next? Fangs and claws? You know what, the more pissed you seem, the more attracting you are to me."

Utterly shameless!

Aleigha's body twitched slightly. There was a slight change on the lower part of Adrian's body, which was quite obvious to Aleigha, who, although had no such experience, knew what was happening. With his warm breath in her ear, Aleigha shivered and didn't dare to move.

"Not so cocky now, are you?"

Aleigha's heart was filled with bitterness. Biting her lips, she didn't dare to make a sound.

When Adrian saw this, he stood up and carried her out of the restaurant.

"Hey, I haven't paid the bill." Aleigha closed her eyes and refused to look at him.

"You got better things to worry about, trust me," said Adrian with a displeased tone. He carried her into the passenger seat of the car, buckled the safety belt, and drove away.

Aleigha nestled up in her seat and pulled her skirt from time to time. Her small face was written with helplessness and sadness.

She thought to herself, "This is it, I'm done. What the f*ck have I done?"

Adrian saw that she was distracted and reached out to pinch her chin. "What are you worried about? I won't touch you. You're still young."

Yes, she was only 18 years old this year.

"I'll wait until you're 20 years old, when you are a real woman," said Adrian. He seemed to be making a solemn commitment, which sounded quite cold and threatening to Aleigha. 20 years old. There were still two years left. Would Adrian be waiting for her? No, she didn't need his waiting. It was simply nonsense.

The car stopped in front of Adrian's villa. Aleigha came here for the first time but she was not flinching a bit.

"Come in, spend the night with me," Adrian pulled her hand and brought her into the villa.

Nothing happened overnight. Aleigha's initial panic turned into a calm acceptance.

Because Adrian had only hugged her and slept for one night. Nothing had happened.

Two days later, the banquet of the Woods family arrived as scheduled. Aleigha returned to the Gardner family in the afternoon. Lainey specially hired a stylist for her and Emilia. Aleigha didn't know what they were up to so she had to walk along as she did.

After the car went to the Woods's, Aleigha got off the car and followed Lainey and her daughter silently. Before she went out, Marcos repeatedly reminded her.

Telling her that she had better not make a fool of herself at the banquet and she also needed to keep an eye on the Cooks.

The Woods family had a strong background, so the guests who came and went were either rich or noble. There were preeminent figures from all walks of life.

The charity auction was hosted by Windy herself, which explained the extravagance of the banquet.

Aleigha kept a close eye on Emilia and her mother and, at the same time, worried about whether Adrian would turn up here.

Fortunately, she did not find the dazzling figure in the crowd.

Emilia was like a fish, chatting and laughing with all the notable young ladies. Lainey was so slick that it seemed that she was very familiar with everyone. Aleigha hid in the corner and quietly ate the delicious food.

Her dress today was very simple and graceful.

She was in a fishtail gown, revealing her marvelously beautiful figure. Her black hair hung behind her back like a dark waterfall.

Her white skin made her extraordinarily brilliant under the light. Her clear eyes were like bright stars, bright yet blurred.

"Aleigha, I didn't expect to see you here." In the crowd, Freddie saw the somewhat lonely Aleigha at a glance.

Regardless of other girls eagerly pursuing him, he rushed straight to Aleigha.

Aleigha stole a glance at Freddie before she decided to keep her eyes low, pretending to be concentrating on the food on her plate.

Freddie smiled awkwardly and sat beside her. He knew that Aleigha didn't like him and even hated him a little. However, he just liked to get close to her. He didn't know why. Aleigha moved her body to the side and deliberately tried to keep a distance between the two of them.

"There's an Italian raspberry cake over there. Would you like to have some?" Freddie tried to scoop up something to talk about with her.

Aleigha ignored him and got up to leave.

Lainey and her daughter had been watching her in the crowd for a long time. She seemed to think of something and hurried away. "Aleigha, why didn't you tell me that you're here? Did my aunt say anything about when she might come back from Country S?" Windy saw Aleigha and walked up. Tonight, she was graceful and elegant, even when she was actually in her mid-forties.

Aleigha shallowly smiled politely and

replied in a low voice, "She's to

return next month and I came back with the aunt. I didn't wanna be so abrupt as to barge in so I haven't

paid you a visit."

"How could you ever be? Well, talking about the visit, I never expected this big a crowd to be here today. Hope they can buy as many useless vases and plates from me as possible." "Did you happen to see my b*stard of a son today? He should be somewhere around here."

Windy was a cheerful person who could greet everyone with a smile. But she wouldn't be so polite to those she didn't like.

Anyone she didn't like wouldn't get even a pretentiously polite nodding from her.This belongs © NôvelDra/ma.Org.

Which was quite a normal thing for someone as powerful as her and it was almost a prerequisite for someone who wanted to climb the ladder that high up.

"Well, why, I did see him over there. But it was a while back." Aleigha deliberately stayed away from Adrian because she had bigger fish to fry.

She knew that Lainey would try something this night. She couldn't let them get a single chance.

"Aleigha, you'll have to excuse me

for a moment. I'll have to get back to

my pack of savages now. But do

help yourselves around the place

And I'make sure you get a front row seat later when the whole thing kicks in."

Aleigha was scanning the venue for a corner she could hide when she spotted Emilia, who was walking her way with a glass of wine in her hands.

"Why, I did expect you to be

shrinking back in your shell at a place like this, given your ghetto. point of view of the world. Now, now,

gulp this down and muster your guts

for me, won't you?"

Aleigha looked at the wine glass in Emilia's hand, smiled, and reached out to take it.

Just then, Freddie walked over and Freddie asked, "Isn't that Freddie?"

As Emilia's attention was dragged away by Freddie's sudden appearance, Aleigha pulled the belt on her dress loose.

"Emilia, your belt is loose. I... I don't know what to do with it."
