Edgar and His Destined Wife

Chapter 279 Unpredictable

Shocked by his sudden passionate gaze, she shook her head. “Forget it.” Though she wanted to walk away, it was too late – he had grabbed her wrists and gently pulled her toward him. She fell into his embrace weakly, engulfed by his masculine scent.

As soon as she lifted her head, she could smell him, and was immediately reminded of the night they had spent together. “Why are you so warm? Are you ill?” he asked gently, caressing her cheeks.

She shook her head blankly. “I… don’t know. I think you are being too nice to me. This is different from what I experienced before.”

His frown deepened upon hearing that, and his fingers became still on her cheeks. “What’s different?” She plucked up her courage and stroke his nose, chin, up to his jawline.

“You’ve always been a cold person to me, and I feel like I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.” She felt as though those words were spoken from a different person that was not her.

The dreamlike illusion made her heave a deep sigh. With that, she looked at him tentatively. “Do you think I’m being too sensitive?”

Her reluctance and timid reaction completely revealed her insecurities. At that moment, Edgar finally understood how it felt to be needed by someone else.

Why didn’t I see through her thoughts sooner? For a long time after she spoke, he remained silent. She pursed her lips and grumbled, “I shouldn’t have said this nonsense.”

I’ve been wanting to be closer with him. Now that it’s finally happened, what else am I expecting?

She was about to pull away from his embrace in disappointment, but he held her hand. “I’m very happy to hear your thoughts.” It felt surreal when his attractive, low voice rang in her ears.

“You are simply too tired lately. After a few days, you’ll get used to it.” With that, he gently caressed the hair that fell around her cheeks before giving her a gentle kiss. “Don’t worry. You can trust me completely.”

Joy flickered in her eyes as she lowered her head shyly. That night, she lay in the queen-sized bed and looked at the ceiling for a while before slowly closing her eyes.
