Adrian pulls Naomi's arm when she chooses silence and does not answer David's question. He positioned Naomi standing right by his side.
“Because it turns out you guys have met a lot before, so I don't think there needs to be any more introductions.” Adrian hugs Naomi's slender waist possessively, as if purposely showing it to David. No doubt, the Gesture that Adrian showed created his own conclusions in David's mind.
“You mean ... Naomi is—” David's speech was cut in the air. He could hardly believe what he found there.
How could an Adrian Marx marry such a young girl. What's more, David knew very well that Naomi was by no means the type of woman Adrian could have liked.
Yes, all this time Adrian is surrounded by beautiful and classy women. And if they were ignored by Adrian, what else is Naomi who is physically still far less than Haylea.
“Yes, we got married some time ago,” Adrian said.
David was still gawking in disbelief, and Adrian could see his cousin glancing questioningly at Naomi. “I'm so curious how did you get married? Well, it seems I missed a lot of news.”
However, As before, Naomi chose to shut up and just lowered her head. It raises a question in Adrian's mind about what makes Naomi a lot of silence.
“Tuan .. mistress and Miss Erica are already waiting in the dining room.” The presence of a servant broke the rigid atmosphere created. Adrian looked over at the woman.
"Alright," he answered briefly.
They headed to the dining table. As usual, Naomi sat down next to Adrian. He also serves Adrian at the dinner table as at breakfast. This time, more silence.
"How are you preparing for your birthday, Erica? Are you going to make a festive feast like the years before." David opened his voice on the sidelines of dinner.
“Of course. But this time will be very different, because there will be special guests later,” Erica replied.
“Really? Who's your special guest? Have you found a suitable man?” probably David. This time with a small laugh.
“You'll know later. It will be a surprise for everyone.” While feeding a piece of meat to her mouth, Erica flashed a meaningful gaze towards Naomi.
Dinner passed with the excitement of the chatter between David, mother and Erica. In contrast to Adrian and Naomi who are silent.
“I'm done,” said Adrian who has now risen to leave his seat.
"I'm fine, Mom. Just a little dizzy." Adrian extends his hand to Naomi. She doesn't even care, even though Naomi hasn't finished her meal. “Naomi, come with me to the room!”
Without a word, Naomi welcomed her husband's hand. Then leave the dining table together.
"What happened to Adrian? It's not usually that he doesn't finish his meal" asked the curious mother.
David also noticed a change in Adrian's attitude since meeting him and Naomi earlier. It suddenly became very cold.

Upon arrival in the room, Adrian closed the door. Without saying a word, she pushed Naomi's body into the bed.
Realizing the danger signal, Naomi immediately got up. I planned to get out of the room, but it was too late. Adrian had locked the door first.
With an unexpected movement Adrian's hand darted quickly clutching both arms of Naomi. Push the small body until it hits his sturdy body. Naomi almost grimaced because of Adrian's strong grip as if able to break his bones.
“Why didn't you answer David's question earlier? Is it a shame to admit I'm ready for you?”
Naomi froze staring at the radiance full of anger from Adrian's eyes. He could even feel Adrian exhaling from every sizzling word in his ear.
And this was the first time Naomi had not fought back or cursed as she always did.
“I have to answer what? Should I tell her that I am the poor girl you bought from Madam Leova to serve as a slave in bed? Do I need to explain that after getting bored you will return me to that evil woman?”
Adrian's heart slipped upon hearing that painful answer. Moreover, in a blink Naomi's eyeballs were already glazed over.
