Chapter 463

I always believed that Mr. Adler lacked the ability to care for others, but in this moment, as I looked at his expression through the mirror under the dim light, I saw a deep tenderness. It turns out that I never truly understood him. He is far better than I had imagined.
As we made our way back to the private room, the pain I had been feeling had already subsided. I smiled and asked him why he didn't carry me this time. I believe he was genuinely concerned earlier, which is why he acted that way in front of everyone. It didn't quite match his usual cold demeanor. So now, hearing my teasing, he seemed a bit embarrassed. The corners of his mouth twitched, giving him a somewhat awkward look.
Seeing his awkward expression, I couldn't help but laugh softly.
