Chapter 5 You Think You Know What Bullying Is
- Adrian's expression turned stern as he opened the door.
- He immediately smelled alcohol in the living room.
- Then, he saw a few bottles of his precious wine on the coffee table. Each of them was worth millions.
- They were all empty.
- Furthermore, a young woman lay wasted on the sofa. Her cheeks flushed as she kept scolding a man. Sometimes, she would mention Adrian's name.
- She looked like a mess.
- Annoyance appeared on the man's cold and handsome face.
- We have just gotten married. Is she now revealing her true colors?
- Cathy suddenly noticed someone had walked in; she burped and turned to him.
- "Who are you?"
- She was completely drunk. She got up and went to Adrian.
- Adrian had a high nose and stern eyebrows. He was a handsome man with chiseled facial features.
- He seems handsome like Xavier.
- No, he is Xavier…
- How dare he appear before me!
- Cathy gritted her teeth furiously and raised her hand to slap him. However, Adrian grabbed hold of her wrist.
- Adrian's cold eyes turned stern. "How much did you drink?"
- Her legs were wobbly, and she could not stand still as he held her wrist. She kept swaying as she answered, "I didn't drink…"
- With that, she flung herself at him and wrapped her arms around his waist. "Xavier, I miss you."
- Her face flushed like a young girl in love, and her voice was alluring as she shouted, "Xavier, can you please not hate me? I didn't mean it…"
- Cathy began to cry. Her tears seeped through his shirt and wet his muscular abs.
- Adrian furrowed his brow, his expression darker than a stormy sky.
- He looked down at her.
- At this moment, Cathy hugged his waist tightly. She looked innocent and adorable.
- Although she looked at him lovingly, her red lips called out another man's name.
- Adrian grabbed hold of her and carried her in his arms, bringing her upstairs.
- Cathy had prepared a warm bath for Adrian.
- But the water had turned icy cold at this point.
- Splash!
- Adrian dropped Cathy into the tub of water.
- Her wet white t-shirt clung to her body, revealing her alluring figure.
- Even though the bathroom was cold, Adrian felt a wave of heat coursing through his body as he looked at her.
- He hated women.
- After he had hurt a woman five years ago, he felt an instinctive aversion toward women.
- He would not allow any woman to touch him, including his sister.
- However, when Cathy hugged him just now and stuck close to his body, he did not feel disgusted. Instead, he even found it a little pleasant.
- "It's cold…"
- Cathy shivered in the tub.
- She had drank too much wine, so the cold water did not wake her from her drunken state. Instead, she became even more daring.
- "Xavier."
- Cathy rested her head on the edge of the bathtub and called out weakly, "I'm cold."
- She reached out and grabbed the hem of Adrian's shirt and said, "Can you hug me?"Her eyes were alluring, and her cheeks flushed. She looked at him coyly and continued,
- "Can you carry me out? It's really cold…"
- Her voice was smooth and sweet like hot chocolate, melting Adrian's cold heart.
- He could not remember the last time he had felt like this.
- He had to admit that she was different from other women.
- However, she kept calling out for a man named Xavier.
- Adrian kneeled by the tub and grabbed her jaw with one hand. "Who am I?"
- Cathy pursed her lips and answered, "You're Xavier."
- She could only see Xavier in her drunken state.
- Adrian frowned dangerously and pushed her head into the water.
- The bone-chilling water surrounded her head but did not wake her from her drunken state. She struggled helplessly in the bathtub.
- Adrian quickly let go of her and gave her an icy stare. "Tell me. Who am I?"
- "Xavier."
- Adrian pressed her down again.
- Tears fell from Cathy's eyes as she coughed out water. She looked at him with eyes full of tears and said, "You should tell me who you are then."
- Adrian reached for her ruby lips and rubbed them as he said, "Call me hubby."
- Cathy said in resignation, "Hubby…"
- Adrian felt an intense urge surged throughout his body when he heard her.
- Cathy reached out and held Adrian's face. She looked at him with her crystal-like eyes and said, "Please get me out of this cold water."
- "I've called you hubby, so you mustn't bully me anymore."
- She had a beautiful face. Now that she was drunk and crying, she seemed alluring like a red rose.
- Adrian looked at her and muttered, "You little drunkard."
- "You think this is bullying?"
- Cathy looked up at him innocently and nodded.
- Adrian's voice turned hoarse. "Let me show you what bullying is."
- He immediately climbed into the bathtub.
- …
- The following day.
- The sun rose as usual.
- Its piercing light shone into the room through the glass window.
- Suddenly, a man pulled open the curtains, revealing a floor-to-ceiling window. He stood with his back facing Cathy as he looked out of the window.
- The man was tall and sturdy. One could sense his dignified and dominant aura from his back profile.
- At this moment, Cathy woke up with a piercing headache.
- Last night, she had a wild dream about her wedding night. She had a bath with a handsome man and spent a passionate night with him.
- The dream lingered in her mind. She thought about it for a moment before opening her eyes gradually.
- She was immediately greeted with the sight of a masculine back profile. Cathy was so shocked that she could hardly speak.
- "You... You!"
- "Who are you?"
- Why is there a man in my room?
- He looks tall and strong. Even from his back profile, I can tell that he is not Adrian!
- Who is he?
- Did I sleep with another man under Adrian's roof?
- Adrian heard Cathy's gasp and frowned. He turned around and said, "You must never drink wine again."
- She drank a few millions worth of his wine last night.
- Although he did not care about the cost, he felt sad over the loss of his hard-to-find premium vintage wines.
- After saying that, he walked out of the room without another glance at Cathy.
- Cathy was stunned for a long while.
- She remembered feeling suffocating sadness when she saw Xavier and Willow on the news. Then, she drank some wine.
- After that…
- "No way!"
- Cathy looked down at the bruises and scratches on her body and wanted to weep.
- She was supposed to have her wedding night with Adrian last night. However, she could not wait for Adrian to come home and even let a stranger…
- She recalled all those rumors about Adrian's violent tendencies.
- Cathy could imagine that she would suffer a terrible end…
- Furthermore, that man who cuckolded Adrian even dared to stay behind to tell her never to drink wine again.
- She would never dare to drink wine again from now on.
- While she was still in a daze, someone knocked and opened the door.
- It was Arius dressed in light yellow pajamas. He walked into the room and said, "I'm hungry."
