His Domineering Lover

Kendal flared up.

"Go to hell, b*tch!" She cursed and stormed toward Aleigha.

Right on cue, Adrian came out of the operating room with the help of two nurses.

He gave his men a gesture and they all surrounded Kendal immediately.

"Get out of my way! I must kill her today!"

Kendal banished her purse in the air as if it was a knife.

But those men stood in front of her like insurmountable mountains.

"I said get out of my way!" Kendal brought her purse down on one man's face and the edge scratched his face.

"Enough!"

Adrian growled. He was still very weak but his voice was intimidating.

Kendal stiffened on the spot.

"Adrian, it's all her fault. She's the reason you're badly injured." "Knock it off. You'd better be nice to her."

Tears welled up in Kendal's eyes.

She bit her lip and stared at Adrian aggrievedly.

He was no longer the man she used to know.

Hinting at the two nurses to release him, Adrain hobbled to Aleigha and hugged her.

"I don't like to be touched, but you are an exception."

Aleigha grunted dismissively but wrapped her arms around Adrian's waist to support him.

She had never thought that she would come back to Adrian's family again.

Adrian closed the door behind them and quickly pushed Aleigha into the bathroom.

He leaned against the doorframe with a playful smile.

Something suddenly struck Aleigha.

"You're a liar!" She shouted in disbelief.

Adrian smiled faintly. "I prefer to be called a tactician. You wouldn't come home with me unless you're convinced that I'm badly injured."

"I don't want to talk to you. I'm leaving."

Aleigha was angry. She had been worried sick about him.

"No. You must stay to finish the show with me so I can help you find out who's behind it."

Adrian tilted her chin up and looked into her eyes.

Aleigha didn't avert her eyes and looked back furiously.

"I don't need your help. I know who did it. You're fine and I should go now."

Aleigha sounded steely.

Adrian sighed. The situation looked very familiar.

He had thought she was playing hard to get but now registered that she really wanted nothing to do with him.

"But you took my money," he said serenely.

"You gave it to me." Aleigha pushed Adrian on his chest, trying to get out.

"What's the rush?" Adrian seized her hands.

"You look dirty. What about taking a shower with me?"

"Pervert! Let me go!"

Aleigha shouted exasperatedly and struggled.

"Do you know you're very heartless? Is this how you treat someone who saved your life?"

Aleigha was not hearing and kept moving to get rid of him.

Adrian groaned when she touched his wound carelessly.

He wasn't exactly a liar.

He had indeed been severely injured and

that bad.

"Did I hurt you? Lie down and let me check your wounds."

Aleigha stopped fighting and looked guilty.

Adrian smiled triumphantly and went to lie down on the bed with Aleigha's help.

He looked at her concerned face and felt something ineffable in his heart.

She had a knack to anger him and he was always not himself whenever she was around.

"Miss Reid, you can't go in." They heard some noise from the front door.

Kendal came.

Aleigha looked at Adrian who was looking at her too and chuckled.

"You can't play one trick twice."

Adrian saw through her immediately.

With her mind read, Aleigha annoyedly grabbed the nearest pillow and threw it at him.

She didn't use much strength but still caused Adrian to wince in pain.

"Aleigha!"

Adrian called her name resignedly.

"Oh, does it hurt badly? I didn't mean it. You'll forgive me, won't you?"

Aleigha mimicked Kendal's voice and gave him a false smile.

Kendal barged in and felt relieved that Aleigha hadn't done anything indecent.

"Get out, who let you in? My house is not somewhere you can come and go freely."

Adrian looked daggers at her.

"Adrian." Kendal started sobbing.

He was not a man who would soften due to women's tears.

He admired women like Aubrie, independent, confident and talented.

Tears in his eyes were just women's trick.

Thinking of Aubrie, Aleigha's heart sunk instantly. She regretted crying before Adrian today.

Aleigha suddenly smiled, her eyes flickering between Adrian and Kendal.

"Adrian, don't be so harsh with a girl," she said.

Adrian cast a glance at her, wondering what she was up to.
