Chapter 22 Honey, I Want to Kiss You

Chapter 22 Honey, I Wanted to Kiss You

Thinking of Melissa's words, Adeline bit the bullet and reached out to take off the last piece of clothing on Curtis's body.

During the whole process, she had her eyes closed most of the time and dare not to look at him.

After finishing all those steps, she helped Curtis into the bathtub.

Curtis's whole body was almost submerged in the bathtub. The hot fog was lingering around and everything looked unreal.

No one knew how much he had to suppress the urge to not directly jump on her when her fair and tender hands touched him just now.

Curtis took a deep breath to calm down his impulse and said in a cold voice, "What now?"

Adeline immediately understood what he was trying to say. She squeezed the shower gel, and gently rubbed it on his arms, shoulders, and back. Then, she picked up the towel and carefully scrubbed him. She looked like a hard-working wife.

Regardless of how hard she was trying to please him, she saw that Curtis's expression became more serious.

After Adeline tried her best to coax him, she felt powerless and put her shoulders down. She couldn't help probing, "Are you mad at me?"

"Yes!" Curtis admitted directly with a cold expression.

When Adeline heard that, her eyes turned red immediately. She lowered her head and apologized subconsciously, "I'm sorry."

Curtis saw that her eyes were red, and he couldn't bear it anymore.

His sullen face suddenly got panicked, and he quickly stretched out his hand to pull her into the water and hugged her in his arms. Then, he coaxed her softly, "Why are you crying? I haven't said anything yet!"

Adeline's eyes were red. She tried to justify unyieldingly, "I didn't cry."

"Yes, you are right. Your eyes are red even though you didn't cry." Curtis smiled helplessly and thought to himself that his wife was not someone who could be scolded. He said, "Then tell me. What makes you feel aggrieved?"

At that moment, Adeline felt a strong sense of grievance in her heart. She raised her voice a little higher and said, "I tried to make it up for you. I... I even took my friend's advice. I am wearing sexy pajamas and I help you to take a bath. I help you to undress and scrub your body. I have never done this to others. But you are still not happy about it."

Sexy pajamas?

Curtis's eyes darkened a bit, but he still didn't forget the real topic, "Okay, then tell me. Why are you trying to coax me?"

"Because you are mad at me," Adeline answered in confusion.

"Then tell me. Why am I mad at you?"

Adeline cleared her mind, and she replied in a low voice like a child who made mistakes, "Because... I was almost molested by Mr. Baker which made you feel ashamed. In... In the future, if someone gets to know that Mr. Riley's wife was almost raped by Mr. Baker, you would be demeaning since you are so famous."

"That isn't what I am mad at!" Curtis shook his head and said seriously, "Adeline, it's their fault. That was the dirty trick played by Mr. Baker and Jacob. It was never your fault."

"On the contrary, you did a good job. You smashed the man's head and escaped to protect yourself."

"As for what you said, I would be demeaning. That isn't the case at all. Those who respect me will know me well enough and will not look down on me because of such an irrelevant incident. Those who want to mock me will still do the same regardless of the incident."

"Adeline, I live my life for myself and never care about other people's opinions. If there is something I am going to care about, it will be you."

Adeline looked up in a daze, "So, you are angry because I cut ties with my brother and took revenge on my brother just now? It makes you feel that I have gone too far?"

"No! On the contrary, I think you've done a good job. I told you before that in terms of family relationships, that is something we can't force through. Adeline, I always mean what I have said. Those things that I've told you before, including the incident that happened today, I truly wanted to support you. That wasn't a facade."

While Curtis was talking, he was hugging her tighter.

Sometimes, he really wanted to open up her little head to find out why was she thinking wildly all day long!

Adeline felt warmth, but then she thought of something again. Her expression changed and became panicked.

"Then, are you angry because I didn't tell you about my fate that was predicted by the fortune teller before I get married to you?"

That was a chip on Adeline's shoulder.

She didn't believe in astrology!

But since she was a child, her family kept brainwashing her by saying that her astrology test results were bad and that she would bring harm to the family.

Coincidentally, a few incidents that happened in the past did match the saying!

Moreover, a lot of her colleagues concealed their fortune-telling results before their marriages which caused them to have a hard time with their in-law's families after marriage. That made Adeline very worried.

Curtis shook his head again and said, "I am not superstitious. I never believe in astrology. I believe in myself."

Adeline was completely stunned, "Then, what are you made at?"

"I am mad because of your attitude!"

"Attitude?" Adeline felt extremely aggrieved again, "I think my attitude is fine!"

"Yes, you are fine. But you are being too nice! Adeline, I'm angry because you didn't treat me like your husband. Look at what happened to you! You didn't ask me for help, you didn't tell me you

were afraid, and you didn't let me help you to make decisions. You put yourself in such an inferior position and are concerned about how to coax and please me."

"Adeline, you are my legalized wife. You are my soul mate who is going to walk with me for a lifetime. You aren't a servant. Since you yearn so much to escape from that family, why don't you start a new life from now on?"

Adeline was so moved by those words that her head was in a daze, and she repeated cluelessly, "A new life?"

"Yes, a new life! You and I are equal! We will respect each other. You will never have to sacrifice your feelings to please me. We can communicate about everything. You never have to try to figure out what I am thinking. As long as you want to know, you can ask me, and I will tell you."

Adeline didn't want to cry at first, but when she heard that, she couldn't help but burst into tears. Her heart seemed to be filled to the brim with happiness.

She didn't expect that would be Curtis's thought!

The complete opposite of her family of origin!

He said he didn't care what the fortune teller told her about her fate, and told her not to put herself in an inferior position.

The words about the two of them were equal and they could communicate with each other really hit her hard.

Wasn't that the life she had always dreamed of after she was escaping from her original family?

"Why are you crying again?" Curtis anxiously squeezed her closer, and gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with his hand, "I didn't say anything harsh. Why are you crying? My intention

is hoping that you could abandon the past which made you feel unhappy."

Adeline sniffed and shook her head, "It isn't about you."

Adeline was finally able to calm down after a long time. She took off her white bathrobe, revealing her smooth and round shoulders in her sexy beige suspender pajamas.

The pajamas were wet because of the water which made them transparent. Curtis swallowed hard when he saw that.

After Adeline took off her bathrobe, she used all her courage to hold Curtis's face and said, "Honey, you are so kind. I want to kiss you."

As she spoke, she took the initiative to kiss Curtis on the lips.

Her soft lips touched Curtis's thin lips. She pressed her lightly on his before she pulled away.

Curtis clasped the back of her neck with a smile and asked, "That's it?"

"What do you mean?" Adeline was stunned, "Didn't I just kiss you?"

"Silly girl, that wasn't a kiss. That was just like a chick pecking at rice or a bird pecking at worms. Kissing should be like this..."

After speaking, Curtis held the back of her head and kissed her hard.

With a neat turn, Adeline was pressed against the wall of the bathtub. Her hands tightly gripped the edge of the bathtub.

The water in the bathtub was rippling and flowing all over the bathroom.

......

Curtis didn't prepare any condom. Therefore, he didn't dare to make further moves. He quickly took a shower and left the bathroom.

As soon as he walked into the room, Adeline's cell phone rang.

It was a video call.

It was from Logan.

Curtis's eyes darkened, and he answered the call in his bathrobe.

Logan, who was on the other end was taken aback when he saw that Curtis was answering the call.
