Lumma had just cried. Her eyelashes glistened with tears, and the tip of her nose was a bit red, which made Adam’s heart soften.
He patted her and coaxed her softly. After an unknown amount of time, she gradually fell asleep…
At this moment, someone knocked on the door.
Adam was afraid that Lumma, who had finally fallen asleep, would be woken up, so he immediately. covered her ears. When he made sure that nobody would knock again, he withdrew his hand and got up to open the door.
When the door opened, Adam saw Leonard stick his head out, looking suspicious. “What are you doing?”
Leonard gritted his teeth and went all out. “Mr. Hills, Lumma is drunk and probably unconscious. If anyone does anything to her at this time, it may be illegal.”
“Leonard, you seem to have learned nothing after being my assistant for so many years.” Adam’s tone was serious, but his eyes were gentle. “Go and sleep. It’s none of your business.”
Leonard was cautious in front of him, but he dared to stand up for Lumma, which was not bad.
Hearing what Adam said, Leonard was finally relieved. “Okay, I’m going to sleep. Mr. Hills, you are really the best boss in the world.”
Adam said, “Get lost.”
Leonard returned to his room in a happy mood.
Adam turned around and went downstairs.
Just a little closer, and Adam could kiss her red lips…
Lumma was his wife, and he could kiss her if he wanted to. However, a voice in Adam’s head kept telling him not to.
Adam restrained himself very hard to control his desire for her. He left her lips and gently kissed her forehead.
As soon as his lips landed on her forehead, Lumma suddenly opened his eyes.
Adam was a bit embarrassed, like a child who was caught doing bad things.
However, Lumma closed her eyes again and murmured, “Ruby, am I out of my mind? How could I dream that Mr. Hills wanted to kiss me?”
