After getting in the car, Adonis glanced at the girl sitting next to him with helplessness in his eyes. It was the kind of helplessness that came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since he was a child, there was never anything that made him feel powerless.
Even if he found something difficult in the beginning, he would always find a solution in no time.
But Selina was an exception.
From the very first time he saw her, he felt that this girl was like a wild deer. Despite being adopted and educated by his Uncle Steven for a number of years, she still didn't know how to behave herself well. Every time she had an idea, she would immediately go for it without thinking about its consequences.
"What? Why are you looking at me like that?"
Noticing the way Adonis was staring at her. Selina couldn't help but get goose bumps. "Adonis, are you going to sell me or something?" she asked.
At that moment, she suddenly regretted ever picking on him.
"Good suggestion. I'll think about it CAREFULLY."
Adonis stressed the word "carefully" and then asked the driver to drive.
"No, no, no! Adonis, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have bitten you and caused you trouble. I'm so sorry!
Please don't give me away to a rural village. I don't want to be a child bride. I heard that people there abuse other people. Some girls are forced to get pregnant and give birth when they are only 13 or 14 years old. I don't want to be a mother at such a young age…"
Tears welled up in Selina's eyes as she shook Adonis's arm.
With a faint and helpless smile, Adonis poked her forehead, shook his head, and said, "Relax, I'm just joking. Why would you even think that? Now I'm actually worried about you. You're so imaginative that it makes me wonder if someone will actually fall in love with you and marry you."
"Are you kidding me? I'm very beautiful. Men will be dying to marry me."
Selina raised her chin proudly. She hated it the most when others talked about her appearance. Even though her skin was quite tanned, it was a healthy and good-looking skin, and though her eyes were not that big, they were not too small either.
Shaking his head, Adonis caressed his jaw with one hand and flashed a charming smile at Selina.
"You are right. There are lots of blind men in the world, after all."
Selina rolled her eyes at him and retorted, "True, there really are a
r.
She was a person of decency. She could never embarrass her father like that.
By the time Adonis came out of the bathroom, Selina had already left.
He took a glance at the door, fetched a towel, and walked back to the table. He opened his wallet and found that nothing was missing.
He put the wallet there on purpose. If she really needed money and decided to take some from him, he wouldn't blame her.
But apparently, even she had her own bottom line.
With a towel wrapped around his waist, Adonis sat on the sofa and took out his phone to call his family.
The people he had arranged to take care of Selina couldn't come before the next morning, and he knew that it wouldn't be safe for Selina to be left there all alone.
"Sister? Are you home yet? Selina is fine. She is here with me. Don't worry.
She said that she doesn't want to go back to our house. She said that she doesn't want to see Mom.
Anyway, tell Mom and Dad that I won't be coming home tonight."
After he finished talking, Adonis hung up the phone and casually placed it on the sofa. Then, he stood up and went to the wardrobe to get a new set of clothes.
"Aaaah! !"
Adonis suddenly heard a scream.
Selina covered her entire face, except for her eyes, with her hands. She was staring at Adonis who was stark naked and in the middle of changing his clothes.
Adonis hurriedly grabbed the bath towel and wrapped it around his waist. His handsome, young face turned slightly red as he raised his eyebrows at Selina with a gloomy look on his face.
"What on earth are you doing here?!"
