Chapter 75 - Stay Beside You

While the couple were lost in pure bliss, Ethan on the other hand was wide awake sitting inside his study.

Ethan's eyes were slightly red and he looked tired, his appearance looked somewhat haggard but still handsome.

Ethan's eyes were full of love and warmth that could melt a hundred glaciers gazing lovingly at Sera's ear stud.

As though he was looking at Sera, Ethan's face had a soft expression while caressing the pink diamond, lightly brushing his fingers afraid to break it.

After having his fill, Ethan carefully placed the earring in a black velvet box and tucked it inside his desk's drawer.

Keeping it safely inside Ethan walked out of the study preparing to get some shut eye before going back to his office.

To accompany Sera to the art gallery's location, Ethan had delayed some important work resulting in him pulling an all nighter, but he didn't regret it rather felt overwhelmed spending more time with Sera

Early morning after the sun had risen in the sky at Z City Adrian was still sulking, like a child without whose favorite candy has been snatched away.

Adrian left his hotel room pulling his luggage along with his long legs out of the room. His searching eyes landed on Su Yin's hotel room, It was closed shut.

Pulling a long face Adrian completed all the formalities before checking out. His thoughts going back to Su Yin's closed hotel room door, but couldn't find it in him to go and knock on her door.

After much contemplation Adrian decided to ask the receptionist and leave a note for Su Yin.

"May I ask you to pass this to Miss Su Yin?", he asked nervously.

"I'm sorry sir, but Miss Su Yin has already checked out....", Adrian couldn't hear anything after that and left unhappily.

Adrian was feeling dejected, Su Yin had already checked out an hour prior to him. With a sullen look on his face Adrian reached the airport to board his flight to B City.

Adrian couldn't sleep last night and was worn out, he boarded his flight and slumped on his seat. Feeling sleepy Adrian pulled his jacket on his face and shut his eye.

After nearly 10 minutes Adrian was awakened by soft rustling beside him. Opening his eyes he was stunned to see Su Yin. His blue eyes twinkling when he saw her loading her small duffel bag, she had yet to see him.

Feeling incredulous Adrian pinched his thigh, after confirming that he was not dreaming Adrian hurriedly pulled up his jacket and feigned sleep. His face beaming a 100 watts smile under the jacket.

Su Yin was also somewhat sleepy, she closed her eyes and fell asleep. In her sleep Su Yin landed her head on Adrian's shoulder sleeping soundly. Adrian cradled her close to him and smiled feeling complete.

After some time Su Yin woke up, her eyes were flickering with something she couldn't understand. Shocked she gaped at Adrian's face next to her. But what was more shocking was Su Yin's drool on his shoulder.

Feeling ashamed Su Yin hurriedly tried to get away from him but his hold on her was like iron grip. He wouldn't budge, feeling exasperated Su Yin tried to slowly free her hand and wiped his tshirt carefully trying not to wake him.

Su Yin's actions were slow and soft, but Adrian was long awake and could feel her touch on him. Her soft touch stirred his heart, a smile crept up on his cold lips.

Su Yin was slowly wiping his tshirt when she was distracted by his smiling face, his eyes were shut but it couldn't hide his striking features, making him look breathtaking. Su Yin looked at him in daze.

This was the only man she had ever loved, this man here was in her reach but she couldn't reach upto him and obtain his love, his heart, it can never be her.

In her daze Su Yin's hand reached to stroke his uncombed hair, when Adrian felt her fingers brush against his forehead his body was as if electrocuted.

Adrian was yearning for her touch, his heart ached for her love. He would definitely bring her back to his side.

Adrian's heart started beating rapidly scaring the wits out of him. A scared Adrian clenched his fists under the jacket to control his raging heart and emotions.

Su Yin looked at him with stars in her eyes, a loving expression on her small face. Su Yin laid back on his shoulder closing her eyes once again feigning sleep.

"At least like this I could stay beside you...", Su Yin thought feeling contented.

Adrian felt his heart being torn apart after seeing Su Yin pretending sleep.

"Yinyin, I'll definitely win your heart back!", Adrian could only vow in his heart.

Adrian's heart hurt seeing Su Yin in pain but he couldn't do anything, so he went along with her and closed his eyes in bliss.
