Adrian pulls the blanket to cover Naomi's innocent body after successfully tricking the woman. His curled lips formed a smile of satisfaction, Naomi's punishment had paid off the overflow of yearning for months.
Don't ask about Naomi. Her blushing cheeks were enough to explain everything. Even though his lips kept saying the opposite.
“I'll go to the office first. You just rest here,” said Adrian who is now neat with formal.
Naomi was still sitting leaning on the bed while hugging the blanket on her chest. “What after this I can go out for a walk?”
Adrian looks at Naomi through the mirror. “Cannot!” he said firmly, making Naomi's lips pursed.
Let alone to walk out there, to get out of the room alone Adrian will not give permission. Of course he was worried that the streets outside were just an excuse for Naomi to escape again.
"Where are you going?"
"A few days ago I was eating spaghetti at a restaurant near the office. But it's very expensive." Naomi's casual greeting made Adrian feel her chest was crowded. He was silent for a moment when he looked at his wife. The man approached and kissed the top of his head.
"All right, sweetie."
One more thing that makes Naomi suddenly thumped. This is the first time Adrian called him dear.
Why do I feel like I'm running a marathon?
"Can I go there and buy it?" tanyakanya.
Adrian chuckles. Naomi's behavior is no different from a child who is asking for something. "of course. If I need to buy you a restaurant."
Naomi's lips are back in a cone.
So arrogant of him. What are you so rich?
“Then take a quick shower and come to the office. I'll treat you whatever you want."
"really?" ogre.
"Help ..."
As soon as Adrian turned his body, Naomi raised both hands into the air. Very happy, like I just got a big prize. But when he turned his head back, all Adrian saw was an helpless resigned look.
"Your clothes are there, I asked Samuel to take them at your rental home. Get changed and we'll go."
"Well if you insist," Naomi said as she got out of bed lazily.
Hiding the true feeling.

The car was traveling at a moderate speed that morning. Since leaving the hotel, Adrian realizes Naomi's more moody face. He was silent with his eyes constantly pointing out the window. It was like something made him sad.
"You why ... My bidad?" Adrian opens his voice with a joke. Usually if it's like this, Naomi will curse.
But instead the woman simply answered with a headband. Without noise. And Adrian knew something serious was weighing on her mind.
"Do you want something? Tell me." The question this time was accompanied by a gentle caress at the top of the head.
"No. I was just thinking about my parents. If my mom and dad adopted me, then who am I really?" The bleak face of Naomi is back.
And, Adrian never could bear to see her sad.
"You want to find them?"
"How is it? I don't even know what their names are."
"I can help you find them."
Naomi shook her head slowly. "No need. What kind of parent would throw their own child away?"
Although very sad, but Naomi harbored disappointment towards both her biological parents.
"Then don't be sad anymore." He rested Naomi on his chest. "Don't think of anyone who never cared about you."
"I was just thinking why would they dump me? Am I at least that valuable until they don't want to raise me?"
"There may be another reason. I don't think any parent would really want to throw their own child away." He stroked the top of the woman's head. "Have it, don't talk about it making you sad."
The talk about parents is over. Naomi was silent. But this time choose to lean on Adrian's chest.
In just fifteen minutes, they had arrived at the office building. Just entering the lobby, all the views were on Naomi. It seems that the news about Erina who turned out to be Adrian Marx's wife has spread.
Naomi glanced towards a room. From there a few pairs of eyes were looking at him uneasily.
"What's wrong with you guys? Didn't you guys cheer yesterday because I got fired?"
