Chapter 416
Upon hearing Natalia, Adrian's hands froze on the clothes he was moving.
Having observed it, Natalia inquired,
"What happened?"
The fact that Adrian did not respond to her caused her to furrow her brows. She walked up to her and tapped on his shoulder.
Adrian grabbed his clothes, closed the closet door, and turned to face her.
*Adrian, I asked you something."© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
She was curious about how that young woman had saved such a powerful Alpha in a war.
Adrian was a formidable Alpha who every Alpha was afraid of. He was the only Alpha to win three wars in a row while also winning packs.
Then how could a woman like Hazel find a way to come to the aid of him during the war?
Adrian's eyes met hers, and she found them strange.
In response, he turned his gaze away from her and said,
"Let's not talk about it. I was wounded in the war, and she was a good doctor who treated me."
Natalia heard him, but there seemed to be something missing. She could not figure out why she could not trust his words.
She arched an eyebrow while folding her hands against her chest.
"I did not like the way she touched my husband."
Adrian's brows lifted. His lips curved up into a smirk.
"I see. You are possessive of your husband."
She rolled her eyes. "Of course I am. I hope you are still aware of who your wife is."
After saying this, her eyes turned glowing blue.
She intended to tease him. But she was surprised by his expression.
The smirk disappeared almost immediately. His eyes darkened, as though he was uncomfortable with something. "What-"
Adrian turned away from her and said,
"I am going to take a shower. Let's talk about it later, okay?"
Natalia's eyes narrowed as her folded hands loosened. She watched him go to the bathroom and then closed the door.
Her eyes turned back to black. She was staring at the bathroom door.
"What is wrong with him? He was fine a few minutes ago," she murmured to herself.
She assumed it was because of the wound on his forehead. Maybe he was not feeling well.
She exited the room and headed downstairs. With a smile on her face, she told the maids that she was going to make Adrian's favorite dishes.
The maids helped her in the kitchen and set the table in the dining room.
When she was ready to call Adrian and his parents, she heard loud voices from the living room.
She went into the living room and saw her twins had returned to the pack house.
"DAD!"
Aria and Noah dashed to Adrian, who was walking down the stairs.
They hugged Adrian's legs as soon as he reached the final step.
Adrian knelt down to look at them.
"How are you two?"
They hugged his neck.
"We missed you, dad," Noah said.
"Yeah, I love you so much, dad," Aria added.
Adrian kissed their heads and asked,
"Did you look after your mother while I was away?"
Natalia bit her bottom lip to hide her smile while staring at them.
Noah broke the hug and replied,
"Mommy cried again. But we did our best to stop her."
"Don't worry. Dad is back."
Aria kissed his cheek and asked,
'But where were you, Dad?
Adrian raised his gaze and muttered,
"Somewhere Daddy should not have gone."
